Ctrl+F. Highlighting, notes, and bookmarks with the ability to hide them. Reading in a dark room. Adjustable font size. Slim size (that's related to portability but I can also read an 800 page book in my bed without getting my arms tired).
I have a Kindle that took a fall about 8 years ago and the wifi has never worked since then. I've been able to load books onto it using USB with no issues.
This comment is tangential to their point that a transformer architecture can or cannot be functionally equivalent to a human brain. Practicality of those limitations is a different discussion
This is false. You can ask it to spell out strawberry and count the letters and it will still say 2 (it's unable to actually count the letters by the way). The only way to get a model that believes strawberry has 2 R's to consistently give the correct answer is to ask it to code the problem and return the output.
In fact, asking a model not to repeat the same mistake makes it more likely to commit that mistake again, because it's in it's context.
I think anyone who uses LLMs a lot will tell your that your steps 3 and 4 are fictional.
The "spell out" trick, by the way, was what was added to the system prompts of frontier models back when this entire meme was first going around. It did mitigate the issue.
That’s just wrong. File reads, searches, compiler output, are the top input token consumers in my workflow. None of them can be removed. And they are the majority of my input tokens. That’s also why labs are trying to make 1M input work, and why compaction is so important to get right.
Regarding output - yes, but that wasn’t the topic in this thread. It’s just easier to argue with input tokens that price has gone up. I have a hunch the price for output will go up similarly, but can’t prove it. The jury’s out IMO: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47816960
If you and I both pay $10/mo to listen to Spotify, and we are the only subscribers. If I listen to 1 song by Sabrina Carpenter, and you listen to 99 songs by Taylor Swift. Then of our $20 (after Spotify's share) 1% of the money will go to Sabrina and 99% of the money will go to Taylor. Because Taylor was played 99x more than Sabrina. Even though for both of us as users, our respective artist was 100% of our listening.
It doesn't calculate your amount of listening and determine the payout based on that. All listens are pooled together and all subscription money is pooled together. And the payout is determined based on that.
They are saying web based solutions often out perform LÖVE, even though you would expect the opposite because LÖVE doesn't have the bloat of a browser engine.
Love2D uses Luajit and directly calls established game libraries. The CPU usage should be far better for 2D games, luajit is faster than a browser's javascript jit. You can also create single exe games that are a few megabytes and not a few hundred megabytes.
explain that to my webgl TypeScript browser game running at 180+ FPS while rendering a large RPG tiled world with infinite procedurally JIT generated biomes, with heavy processing delegated to webworkers.
As you aren't posting code or stats I can't say much, but I'd bet a native app would still be smaller and more efficient, since you have to wrap what you're doing in an entire Chromium instance and deal with a web stack designed for documents, which is definitionally less efficient than a native alternative. Tiles aren't exactly cutting edge technology.
"Heavy processing delegated to webworkers?" That just sounds like threads but worse.
The first post in this subthread was literally a statement that "A web-based solution is usually better performing, despite all the bloatware necessary." And you literally joined in to support that assertion against "the Electron haters."
And it isn't trauma, it's literal fact. Electron isn't used because it's technically superior to native applications, it's used because web devs are a dime a dozen. It's popular for business reasons, not technical reasons. It works "well enough," but only because computers are really fast but there's only so much slack an OS can take up when even parts of it are Electron apps, and probably vibe-coded to boot.
And it's worse than spam when someone is posting incorrect things and people are downvoting people questioning it. As another user has already posted, the Iron Dome does not use the same radar they are talking about and is not "blind"
