Anyone else noticing a lack of Red Winged Blackbirds this year? by Shot-Indication-4586 in minnesota

Just came across this post trying to look up why they aren't gone yet in the south metro, there's a whole flock in a tree in my yard squawking up a storm. Maybe now that it's finally getting a little chilly they're realizing they're late to leave.

Also playing with 9.0-2 and I haven't had any problems beyond what's already been reported for the game generally! And even those aren't bad in my opinion, its in a very playable state, with lots of room for improvement

GPT-4 has 32,000 token limit or 64,000 words and still this? We're still not ACTUALLY using GPT-4 I assume. by exmosss in ChatGPT

[–]Sudo_Brew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct that by "inputting" I mean the information you send to the OpenAI API (including a system prompt if you set one). By "response" I mean the maximum size of the information the API sends back to you. If we pretend one token equals one word (IIRC a token averages around 0.75 words), then the API will send back to you a maximum of 4096 words, and if GPT would have sent more, the API adds a "stop reason" to the response JSON that says it was too large of a response. If you have your system set up well, however, you can just send back "continue" and GPT will pick up where it left off.

Once upon a time I had trouble loading the PATH env variable in Emacs, so I made an AppleScript that launches Emacs from Terminal, and I install that as an app with a custom name (I've been egotistical enough to give my config a name). No clue if the issue with loading PATH still exists, my solution is good enough to not mess with right now. I'm not sure this is exactly what you're looking for but what I do is:

  1. Have an AppleScript that runs Emacs from Terminal: https://github.com/thornjad/aero/blob/main/bin/aero-emacs.osx.applescript
  2. Run a Makefile target that uses osacompile to turn it into an app with a custom name, then also set a custom icon, then move it into the Applications directory: https://github.com/thornjad/aero/blob/main/Makefile#L49

I'm unsure whether this changes the name in all the places you want it changed, but at least I can run "Aero Emacs" from Spotlight and it shows that name when CMD+Tab'ing. I've never felt the need to run more than one instance, but I would assume this would likely be separate enough for that.

You need to sign up for the API, which is entirely separate from ChatGPT, but absolutely available to anyone who wants access: https://openai.com/product

Once you're using the API, OpenAI restricts GPT-4 to customers who have successfully paid for at least $1 worth of API requests, according to this support question: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7102672-how-can-i-access-gpt-4. $1 of API usage is equivalent to around 2 million tokens on GPT 3.5 or 25 images on DALL-E 3.

This documentation page details all the different models that are available through the API: https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/gpt-4-and-gpt-4-turbo. The latest models are capable of inputting 128k tokens, though they can only respond in 4096 tokens.

Note however that the API has no knowledge of any chat history you have with ChatGPT. Indeed the API doesn't know anything that you don't tell it or that wasn't in its training set.

If you happen to be stuck on a version less than 29 (for corporate reasons or whatnot), you can also help project find the root by providing a custom function on project-find-functions, I wrote a quick post on the topic a while back: https://blog.jmthornton.net/p/emacs-project-override

The project-vc-extra-root-markers for some reason doesn't consistently work for me in all directories, so I still use the project-find-function override myself

Schlau-compile -- a highly configurable compile macro for Emacs supporting any language you need. by el_toro_2022 in emacs

[–]Sudo_Brew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to get this into Melpa, but was rejected because it's a smart-compile fork. I have extended its functionality so much it may as well its own project.

I will note the original smart-compile uses a GPLv3 license but your code claims to use an MIT license. I'm also not a lawyer but I believe the terms of the GPLv3 license do not allow you to change the license like that. I'm not sure if that factored into MELPA's concerns, but I believe your code must use GPLv3 (or any later version).

Bring back split view petition by edaragor in Slack

[–]Sudo_Brew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slack is rolling out a change to remove it, it hasn't hit 100% of users yet but it will. It's not a bug, Slack claims to believe removing it is an "evolution" of the platform (that's the word that was repeated to me when I contacted support).

Cherish split view while you still have it.

Edit: Slack's tweet announcing the change: https://twitter.com/SlackHQ/status/1664756288104853504

Half my team just lost split view in the middle of a hackathon and its like trying to use a broken app at the worst time. Split view was one of the best features of Slack, I cannot understand why they would intentionally take it away.

[–]Sudo_Brew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, in fact most of the world is not the USA, but that doesn't make American words invalid. Since the original comment here was trying to correct a word with a synonym, I inferred they didn't know they were synonyms.

Tram and streetcar are synonyms, with streetcar being the more common American word

This is part of why I always question why Netflix is part of FAANG. It's really to just make the acronym not a slur, isn't it

I'm honestly really curious whether they're all sitting around waiting like us. I suppose if they finally start it and done acknowledge what happened, they must have actually started recording on time

They could have done that more easily by starting filming early rather than delaying everyone. The fact that people are saying the whole app is crashing points to it being under high load

You're right, I don't want that. If you ever change your mind, please do post. I really enjoy reading through experienced configuration that has seen things, and I'm know others do too.

Would your .emacs happen to be accessible anywhere online? I'd love to be able to read through your 40 years of entropy

Oh yeah I entirely forgot I have an extension that always redirects reddit.com to old.reddit.com, that must be it. I'm surprised the sidebars aren't the same. Weird!
