There’s one more man you are missing that fits better with the Windows piece that is more likely than those two. A man that was obsessed with anonymity (with no real picture of him on the net), an active writer still today, and with the coding and cryptography chops to have actually built it.
sdeep27 | 1 year ago | on: Tool Use (function calling)
Agree. Can really build a strong chain of functionality with this function calling. I have a harder time seeing the use of something like Langchain - seems unnecessary to learn a new bloated API when I can use the powerful tools from the models themselves, and then chain things together myself.
sdeep27 | 1 year ago | on: Tool Use (function calling)
Yes, the 'function calling' naming is unfortunate. It's really structured output that can be fed as input into any functionality elsewhere in your code.
The difference between the structured output of json mode is that the model can choose which set of structured output (matched to various function definitions). Subtle, but pretty cool and powerful.

check out LiteLLM... been using in (lite) production and they make it easy to switch between models with a standardized API.

Was searching for this behavior and pleasantly surprised to find such a recent thread about it. I agree with you as well. I think they don’t do it because of what the other viewer mentioned where there is unexpected complexity in the state.

Super interesting article and implications

One of the biggest users of Tornado Cash was Vitalik. He was not using it as a criminal, so there are some valid use cases outside of criminal behavior.

just wanted to say - this is well designed, clean interface, and fast (on my desktop). Well done, especially if you solo developed this.
sdeep27 | 3 years ago | on: Exposure to environmental toxins may be root of rise in neurological disorders
What’s your take on non processed high sugar food? Fruits, honey, etc.
I’m someone that is very anti processed foods but generally ok with sugar. I wonder what the overlap is.

At the risk of sounding like a quack, I also wonder about the ubiquity of wireless radiation and it’s effect (as it’s rise also matches this rise). I’m less concerned about Wi-Fi router signals because of radiation dissipation at proximity, but I’d love to see more studies on devices we use that do not benefit from the inverse square law. Specifically AirPods or other Bluetooth devices that travel directly between the ears with no distance.

Really enjoyed this read. As someone who has had similar daydream fantasies - maybe not to this scale - it's interesting to see all the ways it can backfire. It also definitely got me thinking about ways he could be dealing with local bureaucracy a bit better (even if the bureaucracy is clearly in the wrong.)
sdeep27 | 3 years ago | on: Teach your kids bridge, not poker
Author of original article (teach your kids poker, not chess) here - funny, it was seeing this rebuttal on the front page that made me realize there was a thread on mine! (linked in other comment here or in the article)
One critique of this article is that bridge is most definitely a "luck" game as this article classifies it - any card game is nondeterministic, or stochastic. Also this author's use of symmetric and asymmetric is very different then my use.
If you read my article to its conclusion, I believe both chess and poker (and bridge) offer tremendous value and encourage kids to play whatever - the main is that the nature of these lessons are tremendously different.
sdeep27 | 3 years ago | on: Teach your kids poker, not chess
I cut a lot out so it's short enough that people still read it :)
sdeep27 | 3 years ago | on: Teach your kids poker, not chess
Author here. I like your poetic take. I do think both games offer tremendous value. And I do think certain personality types may be attracted to one or the other, although there is a surprisingly big overlap (many people that play poker at a high level also play chess, and vice versa).
sdeep27 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Neurological Effects of Computer Programming?
Explore environments where it's hard for you to be jaded/cynical. Nature or being around kids (volunteering to teach them how to code is one idea) immediately come to mind.
sdeep27 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Neurological Effects of Computer Programming?
I think it's a great question, and one that specialists of all fields should ask themselves (-> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9formation_professionnel... ).
As a solution, everyone will find different things that work for them, but doing things that have no relation physically/mentally to work (screen time, high logic use, software related problems, sitting) and essentially are on the opposite end of the spectrum, like hiking, swimming, tennis have helped for me.
sdeep27 | 4 years ago | on: Adults with history of recreational cannabis use have altered speech production
To point out the absurdity of this study using only 31 users with varying degrees of other types of drug use, as well as measuring some highly subjective metric, let me offer some purely anecdotal evidence that has a bigger sample size. I can name more than 31 rappers (try me) that have heavy, long-term cannabis use that have fast "speech timing", high "vocal quality", and low "vocal effort" compared to the general population.
sdeep27 | 4 years ago | on: China has forbidden under-18s from playing games for more than three hours/week
Not sure if serious. You're implying a state should have more control over where a child's attention goes over their parents?
