the fact that it's under ipython seems strange, why is that
in most editors you can just select text and drag it around with the mouse
Claude does compaction in the regular web chat interface now, too

For models that have multiple providers, they automatically route your requests to a different provider if one of them goes down.
> Don’t abuse DRY, a little duplication is better than unnecessary dependencies.
That's an interesting thing to include. I agree with this point in principle, but I've found that Claude, at least, duplicates logic FAR too often and needs nudging in the other direction.
claude is stupid but not malicious; chroot is sufficient
One could make the argument that higher-level thought is not the same as awareness of higher-level thought; perhaps language only affords the latter.
What would you title this article to make it less "clickbait"? This is one of the least clickbait headlines I've seen, it's literally just describing what's in the article.
> Realistically, what are the odds that our not very large or clever brains really do have the potential to understand the entire universe
My belief on this is not entirely rational, of course, but it seems to me that there's probably a sort of Turing-completeness for intelligence/understanding, where as soon as a mind starts being able to understand abstraction, given enough time and resources, it can probably understand the entire universe.
It would also be presumptuous to say that brainfuck is equally powerful to every other programming language that exists, and yet we know it to be true. The fundamental reason we can prove that Turing-complete languages are equivalent to each other is that we can build the same abstractions in both, so intuitively it feels like a similar principle holds for human intelligence.

Recently a friend of mine was having trouble transferring a file from his phone to his laptop, and every website he could find generated super long URLs which were a pain to type in. So I went ahead and made this little website that lets you transfer files and generates a very short URL.
apparently the pegs only have to touch the holes, they don't have to line up perfectly
I'm not seeing anything in that graph that implies that o1 ever fails on "what is 6*1?" The chart is graphing the number of digits on each axis; it fails on "what is (some 6 digit number) * (some 1 digit number)"
Your initial translation into JavaScript is a representation of the statement "All my things are green hats", which is not the same as "All my hats are green."
The statement "All my hats are green" would map to
things.every(thing => thing.type != 'hat' || thing.color == 'green')
i.e., everything the person owns must either be green or, if it isn't green, it must not be a hat since all hats are green.
The negated form would then be
things.some(thing => thing.type == 'hat' && thing.color != 'green')
i.e., there are some hats that are not green.
pretty sure you have a typo, should be "If not, consider (sqrt(2) ^ sqrt(2)) ^ sqrt(2)."
it works with textbooks too though
Why does there need to be an "I" that uses language to transmit information? Language itself encodes information. I can read a piece of text and gain something from it. Where the text came from is irrelevant.

I'm genuinely curious, how else could you hold a pen?

@safe works perfectly fine and exactly the same in @nogc code as in GC-enabled code.
For me, this was caused by a buggy service worker; unregistering the service worker (from about:debugging > "This Firefox" > "Service Workers" on Firefox, dunno how on Chrome) should fix the issue
From what I understand, Firefox has a lower precision timer, which means you need to do more cache timer repetitions; try increasing it to 400,000, it should look more like the demo (though it still doesn't generate two entirely separate curves).
If Chrome suddenly stopped sending referrer headers, let's be real here, 99% of websites would be fixed within a couple of days at most.
Restoring the internet would be a pretty geeky and tinker-y mission on its own
Posix file names can be any sequence of bytes other than '/' and 0
It's not in the Discord terms of service, it's in the Discord bot API terms of service.
You can't use IPFS or the blockchain without having a connection to the internet in the first place. If all the ISPs decided to refuse you service, there'd be no way to stay connected to the internet.
