Same here, on multiple occasions. Probably very unscientific of me but I'm sort of thinking that rucola (arugula) may be more prone to slug hitchhiking than other greens? That's in part why I tend to favor watercress, not withou

I'm probably being very naive with this but, could mechanistic interpretability play a role here? Specifically, to experimentally short-list the LLM's most effective optimizations, then try to peek inside the LLM and perhaps fish

With difficulty. I like to think that there shouldn't be any project work that can't wait for tomorrow, and that's mostly the case. Production issues, those are very tricky to check out from, you typically won't find pea

Ah yes, Mac OS 8, I have very, very limited experience with it, mostly in the form of one/two-week bursts on taking over from a coworker whenever he went on holiday. It's loooong time ago but on the negatives I remember getting ve

Agreed. For me personally macOS (or OS X back then) usability peaked at around ~Snow Leopard and it's been _mostly_ though not entirely downhill from there on. Hard to pick a 'worst offender', the System Settings panel in Ven

Very cool, will definitely try out this version. Wondering if it's now possible to change the color scheme of the viewer, that'd be nice. (Colors used to be more or less hardwired to black on white, IIRC).

This is much more digestible. Thank you!

For the dummies like me, what is it that is meant with carrier and group here below? So when we say that the carrier of a group is a set, it doesn’t have to be specifically a ZF set; but if we imagine collecting up all

Brilliant! And for forgive me for jumping in to recommend one my all-time Philip K. Dick favorites: Clans of the Alphane Moon , as it features the memorable and adorable Lord Running Clam a telepathic, intelligent and friendly slime mold

Unrelated, but, IIRC, Tolkien (whom one could perhaps regard as a language connoisseur) had a peculiar taste for languages, and Welsh was in fact his favorite?

Ah interesting, thank you. Agree with sibling "excersize" is a really good one. I remember having a lot of fun excersizing with PE files under Windows95. More recent OS's, well, they are different.

Nice. One thing I liked about the original MuppetLabs article is that it included a dl example with a call to libc.so (which adds a whole additional layer of complexity.) I'd be very interested in seeing a 'modern', 64 bit n

So it's being characterized as stealthy, but it'd be really interesting to know whether it correlates with any readily measurable markers, CRP, EGFR, etc..

Quite a few of my faves already mentioned in this thread so let me throw in a couple of relatively lesser-known ones: - City by Clifford Simak - Everything by M.A.Foster, but Waves and the Transformer Trilogy in particular - You
