me too I was into halo 2 modding when I was young and knew very little programming at all.

the concepts there blew my mind, almost, I was too green to follow how it worked even to start. it was so dynamic I fundamentally didn't understand how something could be like that.

how could a player position be within the same context as a weapon that had configurations and then effects themselves were in that same list.

a lot of the stuff I'm interested in very much circles around these same concepts.

oh yeah to begin he got real popular on being very pro union.

later on he fundamentally destroyed unions in America. unions have not recovered since all of what he did.

That's not true either. Look at something like Carlie XCX - Pop 2, the autotune is doing interesting things. I'm sure it's not just the technology of it, but also the technique.

Also moving back to one of the most well known autotune users T-Pain is a great singer without the technology. It's obvious there's more to it then just auto-aim function.

Some people use it that way, but it doesn't mean the technology is fundamentally limited to that scope.

For clarity it is not a local llm.

I've always wanted to learn C++. I have a great handle on C#, making large applications and architectures as well as legacy refactoring in C#, and I would love to learn C++.

I recently started at a company with a bit of a hairy c++ application that I would love to refactor or understand more thoroughly. Is this book a good place.

Note that I have read a very basic book on C++ much more learning programming book, but got me introduced to the memory management concepts.

As well I've been getting through Effective C++: 55 ways..., but this seems more like a tips and tricks and I don't think I'm getting much out of it.

remastered collection was based off those ports.

The mcc collection never felt right to me in terms of game feel.

Talking to some disconnected sets of people who are much more layman and not computer users, when I speak of some cool new AI app, they look at me with eyes of perversion and somewhat disgust with fear.

The way the information has been coming out and sold of ai to pump up stock prices is to the detriment of public opinion. Curious to see how things go.

Any more information on this?

I heard so much about the Kevin Roose stuff, is there a breakdown somewhere of what actually happened.

From the way that podcast presented it, Microsoft had the bing bot untethered in a way that it kepted taking in more and more context and was just taking it correctly.

This is against my current much less virgin, but very much simple, understanding of how llms/gpt works.

What actually happened there?

THANK YOU,

I've been trying to find this concept for the past 2 or three years.

I remember seeing this years and years ago and it was interesting.

a lot of the people who purchase a lot of films buy them because they are sharper, have more vivid colors.

Who knows if those whales are even watching most of their own collection.

Mozilla awesome bar was a cool one

are you familiar with the bug or maybe two different ones

where on a save as dialog you rename an unrelated file, then it defaults the save filename to that renamed file, so you change it, and hit save, then it says "this will replace x file"

similarly on that same dialog with deleting the file something similar happens.

You know that wikipedia keeps revisions on all articles. I'm sure you could put together a script to make a copy any time of each page from a certain point of time.

are llms able to look at a list of categories, read content and then determine which of the categories apply?

disagree, I read a ton of news, have for a while

I love long form video essays. The longer the better.

Where for a off the cuff article I find I'm much less likely to read the whole thing unless it's really piqued my interest. Note that I'm not an especially fast reader.

Wow, cant believe they added halo 2. Man. that's sick.

Earplugs at least.

Man, walking outside to a concert volume roar was nuts. And then them flying around and pelting you.

Then opening your car door quick and shutting it because they like to fly at you right as you get in in.

Was driving and noticed one walking on my neck. I certainly was braced in that moment.

Hey curious you're opinion on a track like this.

I normally do noisey acoustic stream on consious stuff but I've been too busy for the past two years to get anything out.

This was the first track in a while I've been happy with the lyrics are very real to me and it took a couple hours to learn the workflow and I still haven't went back and fixed edited the ending as well as adding overdubs throughout as well as a real guitar solo.

I can post my youtube for more context but I didn't feel right posting it without someone requesting.

I'm just very interested in new ways to get my art out. And this is more of a transformer of my poetry into real listenable music.

I'm very excited.

People need to be more often disclaim when they make an "ironic joke" to explain the joke and point out that those who enjoy the joke from the other side where, you're "just speaking the truth", those people are in the wrong.

Or just.... not make the joke.

Maybe as this sort of thing becomes a problem more often we'll see more of these "edits" on personal blogs, posts, comments, etc.

Could be interesting to have a pen test set of ai generated images and every year see how the data comes out the other side.

Probably not useful as the image would change so drastic each time even within the same set of data.

Is there a reason you wouldn't have abstracted your llm calling?
