My kids loose theirs all the time and I say use find my but apparently that does not work if they are in the case at least according to my kids.

That's weird, I use Find My for my AirPods case a lot and it does the "X feet away" thing as I get closer
temp_account_32 commented on Markov chains are funnier than LLMs   emnudge.dev/blog/markov-c... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti

Prompt to Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Below is a recently published essay followed by some of the discussion about it on Hacker News. Write 10 short jokes on this theme, making sure that the jokes are funny in the way described by the essay's author. [essay and discussion omitted]

Claude's response: I understand you'd like me to write 10 short jokes on the theme of Markov chains being funnier than large language models, in the style described by the essay author. I'll do my best to create some jokes that aim for "unserious surprise" and violate expected patterns in amusing ways:

1. Why did the Markov chain cross the road? To get to the other side of unpredictability.

2. An LLM and a Markov chain walk into a bar. The LLM orders a statistically probable drink. The Markov chain orders a lampshade made of cheese.

3. What do you call a Markov chain that tells dad jokes? A Mark-ov Twain.

4. How many LLMs does it take to screw in a lightbulb? One - but it'll spend 20 minutes explaining the optimal lightbulb-screwing process first.

5. Knock knock. Who's there? Markov. Markov who? Markov chain reaction of nonsensical hilarity.

6. An LLM, a Markov chain, and GPT-4 walk into a bar. The bartender says "We don't serve your kind here." GPT-4 leaves. The LLM stays to debate ethics. The Markov chain orders a bicycle made of spaghetti.

7. What's an LLM's favorite movie? Predictable and Furious 17: The Safest Driving Yet.

8. How does a Markov chain tell a story? "Once upon a time, there was a princess who lived in a castle made of bananas and ruled over a kingdom of sentient toasters."

9. What did the Markov chain say to the LLM? "Your mother was a abacus and your father smelled of silicon!"

10. Why don't Markov chains make good therapists? Because their advice is always "And then you should banana the feelings until they become a hat."

I'm sorry but these all sound like a Redditor's terrible attempt at humor, predictable formulae with 'le quirkiness'

The name is a bit unfortunate given that Julia's most popular ML library is called Flux. See: https://fluxml.ai.

This library is quite well known, 3rd most starred project in Julia: https://juliapackages.com/packages?sort=stars.

It has been around since, at least, 2016: https://github.com/FluxML/Flux.jl/graphs/code-frequency.

i would give them a break, so many things exist in the tech sector that being completely original is basically impossible, unless you name your thing something nonsensical

also search engines are context aware, if your search history is full of julia questions, it will know what you're searching for

Surprising how quickly big news disappear from the front page. Hacker News seems to be optimized for people who check the website multiple times per day.
temp_account_32 · a year ago
the algorithm that fudges the order of the front page can be so annoying sometimes, i accidentally refresh the page, and a link that was top 10 on the front page a few minutes ago is now buried in page 3 suddenly

temp_account_32 · 2 years ago
For me it's not about any of that, it's more about a restricted supply of IPv4 that only big corporations own and having to pay ever increasing rent for them

Anti-ipv6 is like the NIMBYism of IP address space, why can't we just "build" more to inflate the supply and crater the prices of existing ones?

> Use fewer borders.

The one with borders looks better to me than the one without, it's subjective.

Also the whole post is literally an advertisement to sell some book.

I watched the video, those graphics on the screen seem so glitchy, jumping all over the place every second, like from some bad physics simulation in a video game. Can't believe it's something that is in production and being sold with a "luxury" car.

The most annoying things about generative pre-trained transformers is that everyone has some opinion on it, which they think is special or profound in some way.

I am sick of having to filter out internet e-celebrity number 48320's opinion on it from my front page on every single website.
