scumola commented on Ask HN: Share your AI prompt that stumps every model    · Posted by u/owendarko

Things like "What is today's date" used to be enough (would usually return the date that the model was trained).

I recently did things like current events, but LLMs that can search the internet can do those now. i.e. Is the pope alive or dead?

Nowadays, multi-step reasoning is the key, but the Chinese LLM (I forget the name of it) can do that pretty well. Multi-step reasoning is much better at doing algebra or simple math, so questions like "what is bigger, 5.11 or 5.5?"

I don't like that I can't connect to a RHEL 8 machine (that doesn't have a subscription enabled yet) without buying the Pro version of XPipe ($50). Definitely not in the open-source mindset.

Have you seen syncthing?
scumola · 2 years ago
syncthing blows. Don't trust your data to it. Tons of posts on the forums about "out of sync" and no real answers other than "delete the database and start over". I've given syncthing a try over and over again for > 10 years and every time it fails to sync.

Use rsync.

Take long lunches and get something done around the house. You're working at home. Might as well make it worth while. Do the dishes. Do the laundry. Wash your car. It doesn't have to be about work 100% of the time. If/when you do this, block some time off in your calendar for it so nobody is trying to contact you during this time.

I just bought a 5 year old rugged Dell laptop on eBay for $50. Why would I pay a premium price for the top of the line laptop nowadays unless I was a game developer or my work is buying me a new laptop?

This is just a map/reduce problem. Use Hadoop. It's Java, isn't it?
