Exactly that one. Thanks, I'm glad I said something. It wasn't anything new, just a new way to present it, and when he did the warped version and the straight line, I was like, okay, makes sense. Then he returned it to our "viewpoint" on the warped space seeing things straight, and even though it was the same lines, it was amazing to see those paths go precisely where we expect. All because of a warped graph. I think it was more incredulous because it wasn't some animation, but a physical demonstration.

I'm sure many don't have the hardware to run local, but for most things that will probably work just as well as the full models, plus you can modify them and experiment. Start with Ollama as the base to run them, and see what works best. I tend to primarily use the edited uncensored versions of llama3 like the Neural Daredevil variations.

But just remember at any model's base, even the biggest and best, they are at the core a predictor. This works great for some uses, not so well for others. Don't use a screwdriver for a hammer...at least not until they merge them to be able to do both well.

I found a video once where the guy built a device to demonstrate curving based on mass, to avoid the gravity simulating gravity problem, but I failed to find it again when searching. It was something he'd bend to show larger mass, and you'd see the effect with the bands along it or something. Even that isn't accurate, but visualizing 4D can be challenging, especially if you then have to put it in 2D media.

The rain one is a subtle "Look, it could be worse. Stay positive. You aren't dead yet."

Third Miele. Might be a bit more than the usual, but some things you have to pay more to avoid having to buy cheap two or three times. I love the adjustable power, so you can clean delicate things or stuff that would get sucked up easily. The full power isn't all that loud either compared to others we've had.

No, hand made masks. Especially when it surprises the officials who should have known it was possible and beefed up supplies of the real thing. The first few months of Covid were a wild ride on knowing what would be the best choices of DIY protection, and Etsy and other sites were crazy.

Living paycheck to paycheck.

I actually have two robot vacs and tested that first thing, switching them out to see if the error followed the robot.

Good point. It looks fine so far, but apparently not only overcharging (which I think isn't a problem since the charger seems to detects current flow) but deep discharging could lead to this. So my running it down until it stops could eventually get things unstable. And it's enclosed so I'd have to literally remove the cover regularly to make sure it's okay. I guess that was what I was looking for, something that might be a problem down the road. Thanks.

I didn't think of using the switch to hold a charge. Might be a good test, to see if the battery can hold what little it takes. I'm just mainly concerned about the lithium overheating more than anything. If it gets tedious then I'll spend some money.

The first one was also used in the short series "11.22.63". Going back to change things results in huge amounts of temporal inertia to overcome.

I tried it with my abliterated local model, thinking that maybe its alteration would help, and it gave the same answer. I asked if it was sure and it then corrected itself (maybe reexamining the word in a different way?) I then asked how many Rs in "strawberries" thinking it would either see a new word and give the same incorrect answer, or since it was still in context focus it would say something about it also being 3 Rs. Nope. It said 4 Rs! I then said "really?", and it corrected itself once again.

LLMs are very useful as long as know how to maximize their power, and you don't assume whatever they spit out is absolutely right. I've had great luck using mine to help with programming (basically as a Google but formatting things far better than if I looked up stuff), but I've found some of the simplest errors in the middle of a lot of helpful things. It's at an assistant level, and you need to remember that assistant helps you, they don't do the work for you.
