I’m not a C++ guy, but this topic fascinates me. Might poke around and try to have an LLM transpile the code from C++ to Rust. I expect it won’t work but worth giving it a shot :)

I’d love something similar for indoor gardening. I have an apartment with great sun exposure but no yard to take advantage of it….

OpenAI models are exclusively Azure only. Llama2 should have an AWS option I believe?

I believe it’s implying the free ChatGPT collects data and this one doesn’t.

Why would aliens have to destroy?

When I go out for a hike in the woods or a hike in a new state/country that isn’t my home. I don’t go out destroying the land around me. I observe and enjoy my time

Maybe these aliens are scientists. Documenting biological life across the galaxy. Maybe they’re VanCampers. Just bouncing from planet to planet for fun

If a civilization has presumably reached FTL travel. I imagine many of their needs have been met and conquest/destruction isn’t required to maintain their supremacy. Lots of empty planets with plenty of resources out there!

Not saying aliens/UFOs are real, but I think it’s very easy to imagine them existing and not being destructive. Or maybe they’re just scouting before the invasion :)

One of the best pitches I’ve ever read for an IPCC report. They are good reads too! Maybe not very joyful.

We are not doomed. The climate is changing but we can still adapt. We can still lower emissions. We can still remove GHG from the atmosphere

Doomerism is an awful mindset to have. It’s difficult to feel this way but there’s still a lot of hope and a lot of amazing people working on this.

There is certainly lots of pain ahead. My home nation will be underwater by 2100s, lots of animal species will go extinct, but we are not doomed.

Im sure this is useful but these languages (proof langs, constraints, etc) are always so difficult to parse or read

Adoption for these systems might be higher if they had a more readable syntax (and bonus if they could transpile down to source code you can tweak)

Also maybe I missed it on mobile, but I would love examples of the syntax and examples of application usage on the first page. Maybe this is useful to me! Who knows? That information should be easy to find

This is really impressive from the outset. You might get some interest in ClimateTech spaces. Groups like Work on Climate might be a good way to find co-founders. Best of luck!

API looks very clean :) I’ve also been avoiding LangChain since it just seems too big for my tastes. Will give this a shot

You can disagree with workplace organizing or the political positions of socialism, but this type of generalization is anti-intellectual, lazy thinking, and just wrong.

Although yes. I don’t think Twitter unionizing will save the site.

I’ve lived through my fair share of tropical non-winters and cold dark winters

I’m convinced the latter being a time of brooding is just an urban legend. I’ve met a small handful of people who look at winter this way, and every single of one of them switched their mindset if you addressed the actual issue (loneliness itself)

When I do encounter that sentiment. It often seems that person: 1.) lives in a fractured and isolating suburban community, doesn’t know their neighbors, doesn’t leave their house much 2.) grew up in a sunny tropical climate, and is still adjusting to winters

A huge amount of folks in group 2 eventually grow out of it

Folks in group 1 are often unhappy in most places. It feels to me the problem there is moreso their location and lack of community vs the winter. Because they cheer right up when they find a community to enjoy winter with

Growing up in the suburbs of the US South. Huge swathes of people I knew were unhappy with not a single cold breeze flowing by. Have a strong suspicion their unhappiness was the lack of community in their life and not the season

I also use a Manta. Some versions can be quite steep in price, but it’s helped tremendously since we live in apartment with a lot of light pollution spilling in

Video game consoles are technically 20th century invention. Xbox is just a continuation of that legacy even if the brand started in 21st

Xbox also isn’t top dog among the big 3. They’ve really struggled to ship big exclusive system sellers (which is a bummer. I’m a big fan of a lot of Xbox IP), so they certainly aren’t “industry leading”. Doesn’t mean the exclusives they’ve shipped aren’t good. They certainly are, just that their is no Xbox answer to God of War or Last of Us

GamePass is one of the biggest success stories to come out of Xbox and is certainly the dominant game streaming service
