  • I live right next to a venue that hosts concerts during the summer so there’s no escaping hearing what’s playing most of the time despite the special windows my apartment complex supposedly put in.

    A couple days ago they had someone doing some really nice instrumental guitar stuff which I’m always on the lookout for. Turned out to be Hermanos Gutiérrez and I’ve been really enjoying listening to their stuff since then.













  • Part of the problem with talking about these things in a casual setting is that nobody is using precise enough terminology to approach the issue so others can actually parse specifically what they’re trying to say.

    Personally, saying the AI “knows” something implies a level of cognizance which I don’t think it possesses. LLMs “know” things the way an excel sheet can.

    Obviously, if we’re instead saying the AI “knows” things due to it being able to frequently produce factual information when prompted, then yeah it knows a lot of stuff.

    I always have the same feeling when people try to talk about aphantasia or having/not having an internal monologue.





  • I love Vivaldi but it definitely chugs with the stupid amount of hibernated tabs I’ve got. The new sessions thing helped alleviate that a bit since I can save a window state and close it but I definitely run into some kind of memory leak with it. (I have had like 1k+ hibernated tabs open, so not entirely unexpected that it runs into issues but I’d still think if they’re hibernated they should just be stubbed out tabs in memory until clicking one turns it into a full browser process. Idk)
