Mostly tradies are learning by hands-on apprenticeship with a master. All that discussion is not on the internet.

My vet told me some dogs ate sensitive to grapes and some dogs can have as much as they want without harm and you only find out which way it is for your dog by watching them die of kidney failure

Hm, I was thinking about the well-known quite “Justice Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it”

But I looked it up and it a) came from a case that is way more nuanced and complicated and b) appears to be a made-up quote in the first place

I think Andrew Jackson has already established how that discussion goes. edit: no such decisive outcome as I thought actually happened

Has anybody here got enough information and familiarity to suggest whether violence is likely for Puebla and Oaxaca specifically? I’ve got family on a tour group in Puebla tonight and flying out of Oaxaca tomorrow. Wikipedia calls out Puebla specifically as a CNGJ-dominated area, so……

I am ready for it

A token is the word for the base unit of text that an LLM works with. It’s always been that way. The LLM does not directly work with characters; they are collected together into chunks less than a word and this stream of tokens is what the LLM is processing. This is also why the LLMs have such trouble with spelling questions like “how many Rs in raspberry?” — they do not see the individual letters in the first place so they do not know.

No, the LLMs do not all tokenize the same way. Different tokenizers are (or at least were once) one of the major ways they differed from each other. A simple tokenizer might split words up into one token per syllable but I think they’ve gotten much more complicated than that, now.

My understanding is very basic and out-of-date.

Why do you use Klarna for all your purchases?

My cat disappeared for several weeks one time and came back well-fed with somebody else’s collar on him.

Doesn’t the Apple TV remote also have a trackpad as it’s main control?

Indeed, the plan for SpaceX is to literally launch computers into orbit to have orbiting data centers.

No, I cannot explain why this seems like a good idea to anybody. Beyond, “Elon Musk likes juicing his stock by announcing useless sci-fi plans that won’t come true”

Speaking here as an art noob who generally knows nothing of what the pieces are supposed to mean or what their societal context was when they were made and what forces they were pushing against etc:

When my arty partner drags me into art museums with huge abstract modern art pieces with just big splotches of heavily textured color (I’m thinking in particular of one giant piece filling a wall with jagged black heaps of paint) they do in fact make me feel feelings.

In my case, as in OP’s case, they were really bad feelings. I would prefer not to feel really bad and I don’t like that art. But I certainly couldn’t call it ineffective fart-huffing!

Say it however you want that works for your relationship.

What I meant to be saying there was — if nobody tells him his review comments aren’t helpful anymore, then he probably won’t know.

I’m speaking from the perspective of somebody who spends like 1/2 their time or more doing code reviews, if I’m wasting people’s time I would want to know it

You need to tell him that. Seriously. Pick some especially bad example to point at, and come to him with, “Hey Bob, I used to get real value from your review comments. I could tell you were thinking about what to say and it helped me to produce better code. Now it seems I am mostly seeing LLM-generated junk like this one that doesn’t help anybody. This isn’t an improvement, can you go back to the more helpful way you used to do things?”

The tail boom is massive compared to a sports car but I think the folded-up package looks not bigger than a giant American SUV.

Speaking as one who routinely has trouble parking a motor home and driving over curbs with it — this big awkward-looking vehicle doesn’t look like a great city-car but it does not compete with motor homes for the awkwardness prize.
