I saw it somewhere else recently, but the idea is that LLMs are language models, not world models. This seems like a perfect example of that. You need a world model to navigate a text game.

Otherwise, how can you determine that "North" is a context change, but not always a context change.

Thanks for this. I was struggling to put it in words even if maybe this has been a known distinguishing factor for others.

manbash commented on Don't use Redis as a rate limiter medium.com/ratelimitly/wh... · Posted by u/5pl1n73r

I wish the article talked more about why people use Redis as a rate limiter and why alternatives might be superior. Anecdotally I see the following play out repeatedly:

1) You probably already have Redis running

2) Adding a "good enough" rate limiter is easy

3) Faster solutions are usually more work to maintain given modern skillsets

If you are a b2b SaaS company odds are your company will exceed 10 billion in market cap looong before Redis rate limiting is a meaningful bottleneck.

I tend to agree, but in a more general and broad sense. That is, Rate-Limiting is always a deployment specific feature. If it's for limiting user requests, then it should be a component of the ingress/API Gateway and be as robust.

It's free as in freedom!

> The license of our sources is a bit muddled. We'll try to clear that up asap. The full production repository is CC-BY since it mostly includes the original art assets. The source code of the game is GPLv3 since since [sic] that makes more sense for the code base of the project.

They just aren't distributing the source for free, it seems, but you are free to redistribute it however you'd like.

Yes, that was my point. I will know the license when I see it in the distributed code :)

This looks great. Just a note though that this is "free as in beer". If you want the source code you'd need to login and pay, it seems.

> 2. Technical design based on requirements > Kiro then generates a design document by analyzing your codebase and approved spec requirements. It creates data flow diagrams, TypeScript interfaces, database schemas, and API endpoints—like the Review interfaces for our review system. This eliminates the lengthy back-and-forth on requirements clarity that typically slows development.

This is nice for documentation but really having a design document after-the-fact doesn't really help much. Designing is a decision-making process before the code is written.

manbash commented on Fingers wrinkle the same way every time they’re in the water too long binghamton.edu/news/story... · Posted by u/gnabgib

I am reminded of a theory years ago that fingers wrinkling in water might have an evolutionary function, specifically to improve our grip when wet (or in water).

The wrinkly formation lets water drain better (like treads of a tire).

I'm great at magic eyes / stereograms and have a ton of posters around my house with them, but I still had trouble with seeing the differences in the test images. I easily locked in my focus on the overlapping cat images but only one difference stood out to me. I eventually got them all but it wasn't that easy (maybe with practice I could get there). The differences are noticeable when I focus right on it, but when I'm looking at the whole image it's harder to tell what is missing from one eye.

Are you able to look around while keeping your "unified vision"?

To me, all the differences appeared to be flashing (probably my brain alternates between the pair of images it attempts to "lock in", or something to that effect).

I wouldn't be concerned about trusting the results of ChatGPT if it also were providing links to the sources it had cited or used as a reference in its answers.

Unfortunately, it doesn't, and so I can't verify them. Not sure if it's an actual limitation of current LLM or rather they're intentionally filtering out the sources.
