This is a really interesting approach but I'm curious to see how it translates to the actual mesh extrusion, or whatever 3d technique they adopt. It's relatively easy to do this in 2d, it's the 3d solution that accommodates terrain variation that introduces the real explosion of complexity
This gets at the heart of the quality of results issues a lot of people are talking about elsewhere here. Right now, if you treat them as a system where you can tell it what you want and it will do it for you, you're building a sandcastle. Instead of that, also describe the correct data structures and appropriate algorithms to use against them, as well as the particulars of how you want the problem solved, it's a different situation altogether. Like most systems, the quality of output is in some way determined by the quality of input.
There is a strange insistence on not helping the LLM arrive at the best outcome in the subtext to this question a lot of times. I feel like we are living through the John Henry legend in real time
Fundamentally, they are really powerful text transformers with some additional capability. The further away from that sweet spot and the closer to anthropomorphization the more unreliable the output
It seems like the emphasis on getting results in one shot reduces the maximum potential quality of the output as compared to a more incremental approach. For example, create an initial prompt to generate a structured description of the features in the program you've described. You can then iterate on this and follow up with a prompt that generates a structured description of a system architecture based on the feature description, and iterate on that. You could build up other informational layers as well, before aggregating all that structural data into the generation of the actual code. This can feed into the generation of tests as well.
If you look at things like LLM party for comfyui, it's the same basic concept.
It's something that is more alien the longer ago it was that you got involved with the internet, but I've recently seen this firsthand myself and it works. It's not a general purpose search but if you put in terms related to an upcoming vacation, for example, you will find an endless stream of people's videos of any aspect of it. If your hotel has a suite you're considering, search the name and watch videos to see if it looks worth it, etc. It's basically a way of bypassing highly staged and curated ad photos or videos to see what real people recorded.
It seems more like a side effect of how everyone is trying to become an influencer than a new permanent state of being, but for the time being it can be interesting
I've only researched this superficially but I believe that in Los Angeles county and possibly California at large it's the case that commercial zones include multi-family residential uses, so a C4 is also effectively an R4. You can see that here. https://planning.lacity.org/odocument/eadcb225-a16b-4ce6-bc9...
Do you mean the 3 mountain snowflake rating? I recently switched from some AT tires without it to those with it and while they definitely don't rise to the level of snow tires, the 3 mountain snowflake rating does seem to be legit. I don't do anything extreme in the snow but I don't want to turn around, either, and they go further than similar AT tires without.
Yes, mounting tires on rims (even re-mounting) always requires balancing. Since practically nobody can mount their own tires, balancing is one of those things that "just happens" behind the scenes.
Most people I know who have snow tires opt for a second set of (typically cheap) rims, and the wheel set comes mounted and balanced. In my case, I change them out when needed, otherwise if I'm scheduled for something like an oil change, I just toss them in the car and have the shop do it.
They are always marked with chalk for which one is which (i.e., right, left, front, back).
It looks more like cinder block than marble from the photos, is that the case in person as well? Kind of a bummer to have a marble house that ends up being nothing special.
Negative re: cinder blocks. In person, they're quite plainly larger than cinder blocks, and with a different texture as well. The absence of paint is also quite noticeable. As far as I recall, I'd long presumed it was stone of some sort. That alone is not particularly remarkable- stone buildings abound in the area, though not in that specific neighborhood- and absent this article I'd never have paid it any mind.
Apple Maps desperately needs an offline mode, but for me, it's better in LA on the freeways because they at least make an attempt to show you what lane to be in. Lane guidance usually works on surface streets, too, which is nice but not as important, except when it's vital. I seem to remember Google Maps having this at one point but they certainly don't care enough to lately, as far as I can tell.
