Drafting last Friday, my first hand was zero lands, my second hand was one land, my third hand (bottoming two) had three lands. However, I then kept drawing four-drop spells and no more lands for 8 turns.

So is it "on me?" Or is it just that the game just is high variance?

Just play blue, that's not a problem then.

Hard real time is a thing in some systems. Also, the current approaches might have 85% accuracy -- if the LLM can deliver 90% accuracy while being "less exact" that's still a win!

Humans do it with access to the register-level data sheets, which are only available under NDA, and usually with access to a logic analyzer for debugging.

Usually, the problem with developing a driver isn't "writing the code," it's "finding documentation for what the code should do."

Tell me you've never developed a driver, without telling me you've never developed a driver.

Or run a VM in Windows? Hyper-V is pretty decent for many use cases.

Ctrl-Z suspends the program in most UNIX shells. ("fg" to resume)

Ctrl-S may or may not end up stopping the program, depending on how much it's printing, and how much output buffering there is before it blocks on writing more.

All my shell RCs turn off xon/xoff -- that's a relic from the PDP-11 days we can all do without. Windows has the Scroll Lock button that's supposed to do this if you need it, but typically, just selecting a character in a terminal emulator will stop the scroll while still buffering the output.

I don't think this analysis matches the underlying implementation.

The width of the models is typically wide enough to "explore" many possible actions, score them, and let the sampler pick the next action based on the weights. (Whether a given trained parameter set will be any good at it, is a different question.)

The number of attention heads for the context is similarly quite high.

And, as a matter of mechanics, the core neuron formulation (dot product input and a non-linearity) excels at working with ranges.

Tool using LLMs can easily be given a tool to sample whatever distribution you want. The trick is to proompt them when to invoke the tool, and correctly use its output.

Huh? It sounds to me like this is arguing one should be OK with /r/conservative doing it (and joining up, even) but then not OK that other subs do it, too. That doesn't really pass the sniff test, so maybe I'm missing something.

We had it, it was called "Aspie," but somehow that wasn't good enough.

Also, why would you need to compile it more than the one initial time? Are you actually making changes to Luau itself, rather than just using it?

Perfect! I will make sure to follow your instructions precisely.

Voting rights in founder-led public companies, and liquidation preference rights in private investments, are very different things.

Because someone who might invest some money, maybe wouldn't invest that money if they didn't get the preferred class protections?

This is similar to how different credit risks get assigned different interest rates.

Companies failing (or close enough to failing that they restructure and wipe out common) is not uncommon in start-ups. If you want a more or less sure thing, you'll have to work at a more or less sure employer, and the risk/reward will be different.

Now, whether those who exercised their Philz options and paid for the shares, were really aware in what they were doing -- I don't know! But there doesn't seem to be anything explicitly sinister about the way this was set up, or went down -- simply, the business didn't do well enough. Which is too bad, because I think their coffee is actually good.

> they force their users to appraise their offering in terms of actual value offered

That's a good thing, right?

Python is still a 10x or more performance sacrifice for anything that's actually CPU throughput limited. Or, alternatively, your VM hosting cost will be 10x larger on Python, than something top of the line, if your workload is CPU throughput limited. Whether you're actually CPU limited, and whether VM hosting costs is your largest cost, is a totally different question :-)

If you're necessarily going to go with Lua (not recommended, IMHO) you should at least try luau.
