If you're a job seeker - create a prototype as close to a problem that the target company may be solving - call them, and show them. Works a charm.

Vision changes are part of any intoxication, most avid alcohol users have them all the time. You have vision changes due to high blood pressure, so vision is perhaps not a KPI to put on the table as a major one.

I’ve had it three times already in the last 2 years and it is something real. Dizziness and depressive swings is the first that comes, then comes memory loss and finally trouble with speech.

At this point you should stop risking to burn your central cognitive capacity. Be advised.

Note: myself a passionate Claude code user with multi agent parallel approach to dev. Plus 30 yrs of various oldskool dev experience. My blood and sugar and all tests are all within norm, and I bike and swim regularly. I’m not a major drinker and try to avoid alcohol in general. I count 25 trees outside my window and I’m not on any amphétamine pill such as Adderall.

quote from the page:

"This page ranks 42 party size Bluetooth speakers. If you’re looking at one of these, you need very deep bass or extreme loudness and can accept a large, heavy speaker. Most are overkill for typical use, the Boombox size is better for most people. Most are at least IPX4 unless noted. All need AC to charge. The best here have bass extension similar to a 10” woofer tower speaker."

my note: page has many links to youtube tests, and resources, does not seem to be advertising-related, though is biased towards JBL.

Indeed I suppose many are on the same opinion here… save for some super stubborn uneducated jerks who keep downvoting all my ‘Alcochol-is-likely-worse-than-LSD’ comments without even getting into reasonable argument.

This is absolute nonsense and is not backed by any sane scientific evidence. Using alcohol even once, in the quantities readily made available everywhere where alcohol is available, can finish you off in the most diverse and bizarre ways.

What’s even more ridiculous is the fact even quarter pill of the Xanax kind mixed a very limited amount of alcohol gets you potentially higher than most psychedelics when properly dosed. And both opioids are super well available…

There’s more evidence it is than it’s not. And, yes, even people who have been super stubbornly against psychedelics only very seldom come to regret taking some. Which you cannot say for other recreational or sedating stuff at all.

According to the GPTs, the LSD ranks the bottom in the chart of ‘damage done to your organism’ while alcohol tops it every time.

So are you trying to imply that I've somehow accidentally stumbled upon more than 100k lines of new high-perf working code, done in less than 6 months, which is like not 20%, but 200% my actual output, and this code, already generating revenue for me and my employer, is something of the ordinary, and actually I can do 20% better typing it manually?

ROFL sorry

I guess there aren’t so many people here who can proudly say their mom used to program MUMPS while they were still a fetus, but well that’s me.

Its a different planet entirely. At least since Jacquard's loom ran the first program. Perhaps even earlier - when the printing machine did the first print.

Well… tis difficult if one does not understand how grammars work, and therefore parsers. But we’ve seen people use stuff like ContextFreé’s Design Grammar, without even being IT guys, and still figure themselves around.

The whole notion grammars are hard is just wrong. They are not only powerful, but super simple in fact. As is the basic regexp if one cares to spend a focused afternoon to understand it. Probably even less time if working with a decent teacher.

Font claims to support Bulgarian Cyrillic but in fact supports the Russian one, which is different and very often overlooked as the same by font designers.

I would prefer GroundingDINo which is a sort of SAM and Dino combo which does open vocabulary.

One thing I don’t get I why the article is credited to ‘Contributing Author’.

Meanwhile their very own Peter Skalski already does super job with host write ups and examples of all YOLO sorts and is well respected.

Read through his papers, and these are substantial accusations. Perhaps Hinton et al. should investigate, and either a) correct themselves by properly citing these Munich researchers; or b) proove they did not base their work (unlikely) on these papers;

And then, as a whole, this weighs in favor of European scholars and also should properly inform the funding of similar research in the EU.

Writing the last in the light of a month-and-a-half wait (to date) for EuroHPC to process their own form where we submitted a funding request by no less than University + Private Company already established in the area + 4 alumni, two PHDs and one postdoc. Zero response since.

Some if not most coverage will be off, indeed, but then the important stuff can get you lots of benefits. This makes sense even today for selectively patching the kernel. I’m sure many people been odd by the complexity of it while now it is doable albeit with agents…

Well in reality if you want a custom OS perhaps scavenging parts is a thing to do indeed. I just speculated whether Linux can be further improved by automatic programming and still keep the handmade parts.

Wonder when is someone going to brave and fork the linux kernel and try to ffwd it with automatic programming.
