The class of models that Yann Lecun is bullish on (look up I-JEPA) do exactly this.

I really want to use helix but was turned off by the lack of Copilot support and the developers' contempt and holier than thou attitude towards people who use AI assisted coding.

In Zuck's interview with Lex he was talking about a text-based social media platform they Meta has been experimenting with recently. This would be a great time for them to try to acquire users

There are pills for beauty. Look at Kylie Jenner, you think that's all natural? In fact I'd say you have less control over intelligence then you do over beauty.

You're being ironic right?

>> It's still just predicting the next word

Predicting the next word is a much deeper problem than people like you realise. To be able to be good at predicting the next word you need to have an internal model of the reality that produced that next word.

GPT-4 might be trained at predicting the next word, but in that process it learns a very deep representation of our world. That explains how it has an intuition for colours despite never having seen colours. It explains why it knows how physical objects in the real world interact.

Now, if you disagree with this hypothesis it's very easy to disprove it by presenting a problem to GPT4 that is very easy for humans to solve but not for GPT4. Like the Yann Lecun gear problem, which GPT4 is also able to solve.

In my experience of using LunarVim (which is also a preconfigured neovim). It is incredibly unstable. Plugins often don't work well with each other. Keybindings overlap. You do it with the hope of having fewer things to configure but what ends up happening is you create more config to disable slow default plugins, or add workarounds to existing ones. Updating neovim or lunarvim always breaks my config. These things aren't the least bit backward compatible.

I'm slowly switching to helix, and this time around will be forcing myself to use the defaults, and not adding a single line of config.

This isn't unique to duckdb. Almost all databases allow for sorting and joins of large tables that don't fit into memory.

Second this. The simplicity of getting a site up and running with surge.sh is just unmatched.

How long ago was this? There used to be a way to do this for earlier versions of Vimium but that doesn't work anymore. Very interested in knowing if it's still possible. Will check out superhuman.

The bfcache doesn't just store cached resources like static files but the entire javascript heap. It makes back button action instantaneous.

I've observed the effects on both Firefox and Chrome and it's like day and night.

On chrome you can even test it using Devtools > Application> backward forward cache
