    I want to know all of the Universe

    A most noble sentiment: What you propose is extremely difficult. It's good to have a goal, but you must strive hard to meet it. 1) Build your understanding of applied math and venture into more abstract fields. 2) Learn the three cornerstones of physics and the history behind that...

    AI LLM: Getting the question right

    I witnessed a similar effect with mainframes. A Honeywell instructor came to the site to teach the systems programmers about the print system. She was the resident print system expert not because she worked on it but because the original programmers left the company. She took it upon herself to...

    AI LLM: Getting the question right

    This is the slippery slope. From my experience LLMs are magical. As a kid of the 1960s I was thoroughly amazed by my uncles teletype that was connected to a GE timesharing service (Dartmouth?). It would talk to you in a terse manner. You would LOAD gunner4 and get the response READY and then...

    I know one major American corporation viewed the Brazilian market as one of the top ten regions for selling computer products, both hardware and software. FIGS, CJK, and Brazilian Portuguese were considered important markets, and products were translated for them when the US release was made...

    Tool to mass download foldered data

    It's a command so open a command session and type it there. You can test if its available via the which command: ~ x which wget and it will either say which: no wget in (list of directories from the the path environment parameter) or it will show where its located. Look for examples online...

    Tool to mass download foldered data

    Maybe the wget command can do it. wget --recursive --level=1 \ --page-requisites \ --convert-links \ --adjust-extension \ --no-parent \ --domains example.com \ https://example.com/page

    How to use the other "w" in "www"?

    It may be initializing the translate page to use your native language in both boxes of until you select a language. I initially got skarntyde in both thinking it would discover the language then i started the tap on different languages.

    Hacking of Ships

    Interesting, it reminds me of the utility company's claims about how systems get attacked; in the utility case, NOVA showed how it could be attacked by targeting a programmable logic controller. The utility industry didn't think it could be attacked.

    How to use the other "w" in "www"?

    I have an added oddity: I typed poison hemlock and got skarntyde so then I dropped. the hemlock and got this. It kind of has a Shakespearean twist to it,

    High School Calculation of "momentum" vector's head coordinates

    There is a tension in programming between memory and computing where you have to find a happy medium between two extremes. My favorite example is from my microcomputer days with minimal memory and how to handle trig functions. Do you use a lookup table for the sin and interpolate for between...

    High School Calculation of "momentum" vector's head coordinates

    Can’t you store blue vectors tail and the cosine with red? Ie don’t store reds coordinates. What about a reduced float datatype like bf16 that effectively double your capacity giving you space to store the blue vectors tail. One thing that confuses me is the coordinates of the blue vector...

    CNN interview of AI Tilly Norwood scripted or vision enabled?

    Yes, and sometimes processing time may slow it down, so the pauses could be edited out. Julia Child did that: something is on the stovetop, then there's a cut where Julia Child switches identical pots, and then the video resumes and Julia continues with the lesson. --- There was a controversy...
