I’m an shit! I was trying to find the actual bridge that has since been built, based on the design. I found an article on The Guardian from 2001 (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/nov/01/engineering.internationaleducationnews) , about the same work that was done. And I conflated the two because it’s a damn old article. Now, this one is from 6 years ago, which is still pretty old… but it’s a cool article


“This article is more than 24 years old”
Still an awesome article if you’ve never read it.

I’m so confused. There’s somebody doing televised kayaking, but someone is playing the violin/viola also, and then there’s someone who appears distraught, clutching her head, looking at something on the shore.


There’s actually someone on here using the “thorn” symbol for the same reason. From what I know it won’t work - semantically the usage would be the same as the normal spelling, so it would be stored “near” each other in their vector database, so the LLM would just recognize them as the same. While I think it could poison the response (how funny would that be), it would be easily worked around.


And thank YOU, since it’s been far too long since I’ve read any Dickson! I know I’ve got one around here somewhere. :)
For what it’s worth, for cyberpunk my personal fave 3 are


It’s “Neuromancer” by William Gibson. A burned computer jockey gets a chance to get his ability to “jack in” back, by doing a heist against a corporate stronghold in low earth orbit, after being hired by an A.I.
Seriously, an amazing cyberpunk novel. One of the best novels in the genre, and one of the most influential


Can’t watch. But the book should be at pretty much every used bookstore. “The sky was grey… the color of a dead telvision channel”


Congrats to them! Slava Ukraine!
Wha the hell did I just watch?!


It’s all about phrasing it a way where they say “no, you can’t say that”, and you say “yes, exactly”


I heard a good way to call out that bullshit.
The next time the person says something about their particular god, say “All Gods Matter”. It throws them into a tizzy because how dare you. Yup, welcome to what it feels like.


I typically have 100-200. It’s usually a “let me come back to this in a day or three”, which may or may not happen. Or a thread of “doing research on a topic” and then getting pulled to something else, but not having time to summarize/organize for later. Plus, as others have mentioned, sometimes you need the tab session history.
I really appreciate y’all saying what a monster or computer illiterate I am, though. Don’t tell my boss, she’ll wonder what I do all day.


Thanks. Apologies for derailing your point which is that this stuff can run for years without changes.


Why does bespoke have to mean no development? If it’s custom code, big whoop - provided the dev either made it easy to modify, or still helps out with it. Our company has tons of bespoke apps that get developed regularly.
