I don't think such genius is inhibited so much by distraction as it is by lack of support. Either that or genius has coincidentally clustered around where the resources have been. The world could be so much more vibrant if everyone was

I just selected a bunch on AliExpress. Some were microUSB some were USBC. Some were a bit temperamental about charging. I usually take that approach with the really cheap items getting things from multiple suppliers so that at least on

Thank you very much for this description. If I understand it in a nutshell. If Gradient is the angle Hessian is the curvature. and Jacobians let you know how much weights contributed to the blue component of something identified as a big b

I am not a mathematician, but I do enough weird stuff that I encounter things referring to Hessians, yet I don't really know what they are, because everyone who writes about them does so in terms that assumes the reader knows what they

Rechargable, motion sensing led strips for inside my wardrobe. Not a big thing but improved my ability to find things no-end. The only issue is they don't turn on when it is light enough to see and we slightly disagree on how lig

I think I'm still using a version that was on a magazine coverdisk that was weirdly distributed as a full-version freebie to advertise the release of the all new lock-in edition.

Considering that one of the common critiques of Bitcoin is "Why should it have value when anyone can make one?" It seems quite a lot of people don't grasp that when people have a choice of interaction mechanism, there is val

Regardless of the usage of the term Sprite, the real measure of how appropriate it is to use the term for something else is how many people get confused in this manner. I can't really tell what the average reader would think because m

I was going to ask more about your philosophy, but after collapsing all of the other replies, I got to see what you were replying to. I fear the page formatting caused an entirely respectable joke to be lost to many people

People seem to pick an choose what beliefs of Geoffrey Hinton are deserving of the weight of his gravitas. While he does describe AI as an existential threat, the set of premises about AI that lead him to this conclusion are resoundingly re

Votes should remain. Have a criteria for invalidating candidates. Anything beyond a certain age, and anything with unresolved conflicts gets stood down and requires a fresh nomination.

I kind-of want to see an experiment going the other way. Have a repo that has a committee of AI models deciding what to merge. Inform them of the goals of the project and that they should only allow positive changes but people are allowed

I recently used the feature in a code embedded image generator so I could have compact images store tiny images in inline code. https://gisthost.github.io/?8d537c4a3b2331e7c6c45d31f1900330 The Trashcan in that sampler is st

You have to keep in mind that for anything like this, the platform has to exist before the ways to game the rules are thought up. To change things after the platform is up and running makes it a moving target and for something like this

In this particular instance I don't think he's wrong, The posts in the links could be considered evidence of how pervasive the outrage/blindness effect is.

The tricky part is that people don't necessarily report what they see as what they see, and you can't really look inside their brains to get at what they meaningfully perceive. A good example of this was the inauguration crowd siz

I don't know how such things are considered in India either (and would also be interested to hear from someone). The salient point is that you do value fewer syllables in a comedy context. All it takes for someone to feel that it

That's kind of the point. In a culture where names commonly have a lot of syllables, the length of the name is much less of an issue. That tiny discomfort of the extra effort to process more syllables disappears when it's not co

As a statistician, do you you think you could, given access to the data, identify the subset of LMArena users that are experts?

I suspect it depends more on what the developer knows. You certainly don't need to be AAA to do particle smoke, I've done webgames with particle smoke in JavaScript. With the right tech artist, this sort of shader is essentially

I think it'll get to a point with quantisation that GPUs that run them will be more FPGA like than graphics renderers. If you quantize far enough things begin to look more like gates than floating point units. At that level a FPGA wou

That seems like an odd framing. For my part I am prepared to accept that XAI might attempt to flout regulations. If I knew more about their operating practices I might even expect it. Even in that case I would not expect it to be the ca
