The feature is often not very well advertised, a pair of bt nc headphone I am looking at seem to not list it prominently despite being, imo, a pretty important feature. Searching by letter might not get you any accurate idea of what does and does not support multipoint.

Bought a pair from Zenni some 3 years ago for literally pennies (15$ for the frames, 10 for lenses). I have since carelessly snapped them (but keep elongating their lifespan unnaturally with super glue). Gonna buy my next pair from Zenni. I swear by them now for how cheap and durable these are, rarely had a pair of glasses survive 2 years before, and these were so much cheaper.

They also have regular people levels of quality, but I'm poor so it's nice they have shit for people like me too.

You should read a bit more on how LLMs work, as it really helps to know what the limitations of the tech are. But yeah, it's good when it's good but a lot of the time it is inconsistent. It is also confident but sometimes just confidently wrong, something that people have taken to call "hallucinations". Overall it is a great tool if you can easily check it and are just using it to write up your own code writing, but pretty bad at actually generating fully complete code.

If you don't hate a programming language you simply haven't used it enough or are delusional. Every language sucks in its own special way, js ain't special.

A given programming language often has limitations which are largely different than the limitations from others. This means that different languages are often used on different kinds of problems. Want something fast, use C. Want to write something quickly, use python. Want it to run on just about anything, use Java. And so on.

So why don't we make one ultimate one or a few that fulfill all needs? Well, partially because we haven't figured out how to do that, but also it's really easy to learn yet another language once your understand how they work. I can write in python, js, c, c++, c#, Java, kotlin, rust, perl, ruby, php, forth, lisp, and I could keep on going for quite a while. The underlying concepts are largely the same and so picking up a new language is no big deal (though being good at it is a bigger deal). We have so many because ultimately it just doesn't really matter that we have so many.

I figured he specifically practiced to show that his high IQ score is not indicative of what his actual intelligence is. Like he intentionally inflated it with studying because otherwise whatever score he did get would be a brag, but after studying any score can be attributed (at least in part) to the studying (and motivation and all the other stuff) so isn't really a brag about his intelligence, but a brag about the fact that he studied. Which isn't really a brag at all.

Python is the connective tissue holding together library calls and some of our most advanced AI research is reliant on that. mildly concerning

To be honest, I too headed straight for the comments without reading the article. But I didn't comment till I read it. It's also not technically a crab either, despite being called one.

You are in a "bitch about reddit" community complaining about people bitching about reddit. Bruh, this is why this place was created, to bitch about reddit.

Your second point is valid, also this feature is to prevent spam from newly created accounts so why is this worthy to even complain about? New accounts shouldn't be trusted as much as well established accounts, and it's generally not that difficult to get enough karma just by commenting. For humans it does not pose that big of a barrier to entry, for bots it poses some.

I can't log in to this. Is this intentional or is something broken?

In general you are not allowed to make changes to your property in ways that may endanger yourself others. For bigger changes, bigger properties, and properties that are more urban you often need permission from the city on more things. But even when building things for a home out in the suburbs you will often need the correct permits.

This is not exclusive to American law.

We don't understand it because no one designed it. We designed how to train a nn, we designed some parts of the structure, but not the individual parts inside. For the largest LLMs there are upwards of 70 billion different parameters. Each being individual numbers they were can tweak. The are just too many of them to understand what any individual one does, and since we just left a optimization algorithm do it's optimizing we can't really even know what groups of them do.

We can get around this, we can study it like we do the brain. Instead of looking at what an individual part does, group them together and figure out how they group influences things (AI explanability), or even get a different NN to look at it and generate an explanation (post hoc rationale generation). But that's not really the same as actually understand what it is actually doing under the hood. What it is doing under the hood is more or less fundamentally unknowable, there is just to much information and it's not well organized enough for us to be able to understand. Maybe one day we will be able to abstract what is going on in there and organize it in an understandable manner, but not yet.
