I don't know much about the internals of decision models but how does it come up with these probabilities? Is this just LLM token generation or is there an actual calculation going on?

Since going through the hassle of learning vim I can't use anything else anymore.

And for the use case of "I built txt because I spend most of my time in the terminal, and switching to a different tool just to make a quick edit always felt like friction I did not want. The editors that live in the terminal either have steep learning curves built around modal paradigms, or they are too limited to be genuinely useful."

it's literally only a handful of vim commands and shortcuts you need.

Are there any electric cars that don't need internet connectivity via wifi/esim at all? I'm looking for something really simple. A chassis, four wheels, an engine, airbags. Basically my current ICE car, just electric.

Just browsed through the available Audio collections on the Internet Archive. There's probably more music available than I can listen in my lifetime. No need for audio subscriptions for me. Its fun to browse and explore and I like the sequential listening experience of the LPs.

My wife got a square cast iron dutch oven that she bakes bread in. The breads have this nice crust and soft texture inside. To die for.

I started learning guitar using tabs. It's good for easily picking up a song, but I found it painful to learn new songs. Everything I played I simply memorized and learning a new song was always a start from scratch.

I mostly play classical guitar and now force myself to get better at sight reading standard music notation. I find it extremely hard but very rewarding because I'm now able to simply pick up a sheet of music and with a couple of tries figure out the basics of a piece. It opens up a whole library of beautiful pieces.

I love all the recommendations here. Great selection that I can add to my personal hacking background music. I can also recommend

- Pure Shakuhachi music (ignore the ones with 'relaxing' background music)

- Brian Eno

- Vangelis

- Hiroshi Yoshimura

Let everyone who wants it be safe using the Google App Store. But please let me do stupid/experimental things with my phone.

For me it was a close finish between Fira Code and RedHat Mono. I mostly look out for

* no <= or === ligatures (i still like to see the separate characters)

* 'i' vs 'l' vs '1' (I now mostly prefer fonts where the lowercase 'l' has the righthand bend on the bottom)

* dotted zero vs slashed zero (i prefer the slashed zero, but dotted is fine as well)

Was playing around a bit and for its size it's very impressive. Just has issues pronounciating numbers. I tried to let it generate "Startup finished in 135 ms."

I didn't expect it to pronounciate 'ms' correctly, but the number sounded just like noise. Eventually I got an acceptable result for the string "Startup finished in one hundred and thirty five seconds.

This is why we need TeraWatt DCs, to generate code for world clocks every minute.
