Not sure if that’s a quirk of your particular laptop but I’ve been using a thunderbolt to dual displayport adapter for years and it works great out of one port to drive a pair of 240hz 1440p displays.

LLMs are conversation engines (hopefully that’s not controversial).
Imagine if Google was a conversation engine instead of a search engine. You could enter your query and it would essentially describe, in conversation to you, the first search result. It would basically be like searching Google and using the “I’m feeling lucky” button all the time.
Google, even in its best days, would be a horrible search engine by the “I’m feeling lucky” standard, assuming you wanted an accurate result and accurate means “the system understood me and provided real information useful to me”. Google instead return(ed)s(?) millions or billions of results in response to your query, and we’ve become accustomed to finding what we want within the first 10 results back or, we tweak the search.
I don’t know if LLMs are really less accurate than a search engine from that standpoint. They “know” many things, but a lot of it needs to be verified. It might not be right on the first or 2nd pass. It might require tweaking your parameters to get better output. It has billions of parameters but regresses to some common mean.
If an LLM returned results back like a search engine instead of a conversation engine, I guess I mean it might return billions of results and probably most of them would be nonsense (but generally easily human-detectable) and you’d probably still get what you want within the first 10 results, or you’d tweak your parameters.
(Accordingly I don’t really see LLMs saving all that much practical time either since they can process data differently and parse requests differently but the need to verify their output means that this method still results in a lot of back and forth that we would have had before. It’s just different.)
(BTW this is exactly how Stable Diffusion and Midjourney work if you think of them as searching the latent space of the model and the prompt as the search query.)
edit: oh look, a troll appeared and immediately disappeared. nothing of value was lost.
Great. That covers what, 1 month of his administration? Keep going, unless you’re cherrypicking this incredibly active recent two weeks. This list should be enormous.
Oh man, don’t stop, what about two weeks prior to that? And two weeks before that? I bet we must be living in a consumer utopia with the pace of the last two weeks, surely applied to the last 3 years, right? right?
I think our parent’s generation (or maybe their parents’?) would have said something like “There ought to be a law!” but we don’t say that because we don’t expect anyone in office will ever help us. Hm.
Three digit ages wasn’t in the requirements, so its out of scope. Maybe we’ll deal with it next phase. Surely that 101 year old lady can wait a few years for us to fix that bug right?
This is a fucken I Love Lucy scheme, wth
I hadn’t ever seen this XKCD, but as someone who’s constantly worrying about spending too long solving silly problems, this is really encouraging. Even more so when you solve someone else’s problems and save them time. Thanks for the share!
The liberal media gets this all screwed up. He said:
Free speech?! Absolutionist!
I can’t believe this happened in the country where it happens all the time either
Which is why “rurality” is a synonym for modernity, and why “rural electricity/telephone/internet access” reminds you of a high tech data center. Ok.
The Venn diagram of farmers and early adopters is harry potter’s glasses
It’s because people (large capital) have decided that the area is to be used for business, not for living, despite the fact that lots of people live (and suffer) there. There are a couple of grocery stores in downtown LA, but they’re inadequate to address the general societal collapse that has been Skid Row for the last 40+ years. Food deserts exist despite the fact that there are plentiful options elsewhere. That’s why they’re deserts. It’s entirely social.
No, not “just by”, but lack of production capacity is a huge contributor to food deserts like downtown LA.
Right and people starve due to political and logistical reasons now. The politics are “this space is for office work” and the logistical ones are where we fail to account for how people actually live.
Because there’s a massive homeless crisis in downtown LA and people need food, not to be forced to commute into the most congested area of the city to stare at hungry people. So maybe they should make food there too.
He who lives by the free market will manipulate the free market to his advantage at the first opportunity to not have to actually live by the free market.
I don’t think the poor design is on purpose. They just literally don’t know what they’re doing. It’s not like they could have chosen from the centuries of DEI curriculum work, and they chose stupid systems out of malice. They’re making it up on the spot. And it’s poorly designed, hamfisted and patronizing. So let it die.
I mean, I’d record songs off the radio on tape and make my own mix tapes and trade them with friends. I’d buy CDs and rip them to MP3s, made custom mix CDs, and CDRs full of 700 mb of mp3s. I owned several MP3 players before the iPod, and since. People listened to music in thousands of ways before Spotify, and will after.
All they’re going to do is teach the AI that sometimes people end posts with useless disclaimers.
