If it keeps bipolar people on their meds, it will make the world better and safer, but also, those meds should just be able to be setup as "always fill this" in a saner system.

I'm personally convinced that the road systems of New England were of some influence on Lovecraft in his conception of cosmic horror. A map of Boston roads does tend to evoke the concepts of non-Euclidean geometry and tentacle monsters

I'll never be able to not think of this whenever I'm in the maze of roads downtown Boston!

You can do that in Polars, too

Adventure is the OG, the genre-namer. If there's only one adventure game, it's either this or Zork.

That game is so mind-bending

Yeah, agreed. It's a lot easier to be empirical when the scale of the requirements is quite literally unimaginable without just dealing with raw numbers.

Germany’s renewables rollout would like a word….

If you mean what they started in the 90s? That's not what this is about. The conversation was about not being able to rightsize today.

Germany did jumpstart their market successfully but that was in a wildly different time. Want to talk about what a typical KWp of installed solar cost at the time?

Hindsight....

Germany has only a tiny portion of their total energy needs on renewables - if we’re being honest about the definition of ‘total energy needs’.

Like in the camper van scenario, if we include winter heating and transportation? Oh boy.

It’s getting better, but if we’re really honest very far from the truth

I have a friend who is a Microsoft stan who feels this way about LLMs too. He's convinced he'll become the most powerful, creative and productive genius of all time if he just manages to master the LLM workflow just right.

He's retired so I guess there's no harm in letting him try

I'd rather see a distill on the 26B model that uses only 3.8B parameters at inference time. Seems like it will be wildly productive to use for locally-hosted stuff

Your posting of the pelican benchmark is honestly the biggest reason I check the HackerNews comments on big new model announcements

All hail the pelican king!

He is the JerryRigEverything of pelicans.

In many cases, children do cause poverty
