It's tailscale or local LAN. syncthing allows you to specify multiple addresses for the same peer

> tailscale or home routers network

> no backprop, no autodiff, no training framework

OP says it like it's a good thing, but doesn't explain why. To not rely on Pytorch? What's the benefit?

> or maybe this is just a retelling of stoicism and endless levels of historical philosophy

I think what OP describes is much more Epicureanism than Stoicism? Stoicism's goal is "living a well-reasoned life" but based on a global logic system and reasoning about the world. Epicureanism is much more about living well enough in your little bubble (which I highly appreciate).

But are these game devs designing the gameplay loop? Or are they working on backend, like the engine?

I could imagine a (solo) game dev not self-describe as a gamer, but they must have some intuition about what makes (video/board) games fun and engaging.

I can't imagine you can obtain that without ever playing games yourself?

Yeah but pretty much every name will be taken by something? As long as it's not too close to your new project, I think it doesn't matter that much.

> Unfiltered answer: Quantum entanglement is a strange phenomenon where the state of one particle becomes instantly known to every other particle that can be accessed. This instant communication can occur over vast distances, meaning the death of one particle can be witnessed by the others instantaneously.

Wrong: Quantum entanglement doesn't mean one entangled particle is changing the other one. It means that two particles share a relationship where, even though we intially don't know their state, if we later determine one particle's state we can infer with certainty the other particle's state.

This has been common and popular misconception long before LLMs. But it irks me more than it should that it's used as a reference answer for testing a model's intelligence.

But wouldn't you have to know the exact context before this token in order to verify the watermark? I.e. a paragraph wouldn't be sufficient; you would need the system prompt, previous prompts, and even hidden thinking?
