Drafting last Friday, my first hand was zero lands, my second hand was one land, my third hand (bottoming two) had three lands. However, I then kept drawing four-drop spells and no more lands for 8 turns.

So is it "on me?" Or is it just that the game just is high variance?

> the game is fundamentally stingy with cards

Just play blue, that's not a problem then.

Hard real time is a thing in some systems. Also, the current approaches might have 85% accuracy -- if the LLM can deliver 90% accuracy while being "less exact" that's still a win!

Humans do it with access to the register-level data sheets, which are only available under NDA, and usually with access to a logic analyzer for debugging.

Usually, the problem with developing a driver isn't "writing the code," it's "finding documentation for what the code should do."

Tell me you've never developed a driver, without telling me you've never developed a driver.

Or run a VM in Windows? Hyper-V is pretty decent for many use cases.

Ctrl-Z suspends the program in most UNIX shells. ("fg" to resume)

Ctrl-S may or may not end up stopping the program, depending on how much it's printing, and how much output buffering there is before it blocks on writing more.

All my shell RCs turn off xon/xoff -- that's a relic from the PDP-11 days we can all do without. Windows has the Scroll Lock button that's supposed to do this if you need it, but typically, just selecting a character in a terminal emulator will stop the scroll while still buffering the output.

I don't think this analysis matches the underlying implementation.

The width of the models is typically wide enough to "explore" many possible actions, score them, and let the sampler pick the next action based on the weights. (Whether a given trained parameter set will be any good at it, is a different question.)

The number of attention heads for the context is similarly quite high.

And, as a matter of mechanics, the core neuron formulation (dot product input and a non-linearity) excels at working with ranges.

Tool using LLMs can easily be given a tool to sample whatever distribution you want. The trick is to proompt them when to invoke the tool, and correctly use its output.

Huh? It sounds to me like this is arguing one should be OK with /r/conservative doing it (and joining up, even) but then not OK that other subs do it, too. That doesn't really pass the sniff test, so maybe I'm missing something.

We had it, it was called "Aspie," but somehow that wasn't good enough.

Also, why would you need to compile it more than the one initial time? Are you actually making changes to Luau itself, rather than just using it?

Perfect! I will make sure to follow your instructions precisely.
