  1. It's just a metaphor.
  2. Caltopo is great for this. They require a subscription to download (raster) maps but you can cache a bunch of tiles before you leave to get the gist. These days this is one of the very scarce use cases I don't use OSMand for.
  3. Not even remotely true. It's part of the context window, so it greatly influences the final output. CoT is tokens generated by the LLM just like normal output.
  4. It's more hallucination in the sense that all LLM output is hallucination. CoT is not "what the llm is thinking". I think of it as just creating more context/prompt for itself on the fly, so that when it comes up with a final response it has all that reasoning in its context window.
  5. The calculator is an extreme example, but I've wondered in the past if the reason they scrub everything is so you can't take the manufacturer part number to buy elsewhere. McMaster is undoubtedly more expensive in many cases, but the service they offer is consolidating a million parts into one catalog with CAD drawings, specs, etc. Hiding branding prevents you from taking advantage of that without making a purchase.
  6. > It’s a bit like saying Dropbox is just a GUI on top of TLS.

    Well, it is. After all, for a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially...

  7. Great article. And thanks for the correct OSM attribution in your map images. :)
  8. As it is now, unethical AIs have a huge advantage over ethical ones.
  9. Hi, I've considered changing careers to rope access or similar for a while now. Can I interview you about your job? Please email me, see profile. (This request extends to other RATs reading this too!)
  10. What does a "pretty bad" h265 implementation look like? Buggy? Inefficient or what?
  11. I wonder if (partially) they use discharge current from one batch of batteries to charge the next?
  12. Agreed. I mostly meant that I'll never see the actual dataset that I contributed to. That's why I'd prefer to spend my time on things that I can see, like OpenStreetMap :)
  13. Welcome to the modern internet. While you're at it, please get me access to Google's captcha models facebook face directory Google's GPS location data hoard, (most every android phone on the planet 24/7 (!) and any iPhone navigating with gmaps) And so on and so on

    All of which I've directly contributed to and never (directly) recieved anything in return

  14. Sounds like maybe you were doing something like this? https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=42184069
  15. Money. The insurance company gives a discount. And honestly, for someone who doesn't share my same strong values for privacy, I don't blame them!
  16. Wait, did I miss something that happened just over a week ago?
  17. Putting the plug on the bottom is an intentional choice by Apple. It's because they don't want you to plug it in to charge, then never remember to unplug it. Mandatory wirelessness.
  18. What is CONTACT?
