This IBM ThinkPad was astounding in 1995—and still is

Closed, it looks pretty much like any other laptop manufactured in 1995.

To be sure, it’s more compact than most—making it, in the parlance of the day, a subnotebook. But it’s still comically thick, standing almost as tall as four MacBook Airs stacked on each other. That height is required to accommodate multiple technologies later rendered obsolete by technological progress, such as a dial-up fax/modem, an infrared port, two PCMCIA expansion card slots, and a bulky connector for a

Nahoru a zase dolů: Vědci zmapovali evoluci hladiny světového oceánu

Hladina moří se pohybuje, jak v dlouhodobém, tak i krátkodobém měřítku Od počátku prvohor se moře hýbe v rozmezí asi 300 metrů. Logika pohybů je přitom jednoduchá. Když je na planetě zima a voda zamrzá do ledu, mořská hladina jde dolů. Když je na planetě teplo a ledy roztají, moře stoupá. http://www.osel.cz/14159-nahoru-a-zase-dolu-vedci-zmapovali-evoluci-hladiny-svetoveho-oceanu.html

Context Rot: How increasing input tokens impacts LLM performance

I work on research at Chroma, and I just published our latest technical report on context rot.
