Wikipedia is designed to help you find exactly what you want, quickly, and then offer infinitely _more_. So a different thing than the Gruen Transfer, but related. It's not intentional, but it is evolutionary, in the sense that we&#x27

Twitter and Facebook both used to have feeds with an obvious collection basin and an obvious sort order. The moment the obvious tool was replaced with "the algorithm", the feed became a Gruen Transfer. I mean, originally supermark

You might enjoy unsongbook.com, a main theme of which is contemplating the meaning of that passage (and, related to that, making whale puns).

I'm also working on a gameboy inspired music app! (for Android, in Rust) If you use a perfect square wave, the aliasing is extremely audible and sounds terrible. As far as I can tell, in native everyone uses a nifty algorithm called ba

There will soon be a multitrillion dollar market for AI that is SOTA at playing Atari games trained on small datasets, but it doesn't change the fact that everything about these guys smells like a scam.

Friston is a bona fide world-famous neurobiologist (although renowned mostly for his papers being completely undecipherable). If I were a VC, I'd give him $10M no questions asked for the small chance he's on to something. I'd

This smelled like BS the moment they invoked Karl Friston, but when I noticed it's a publicly traded company (without any available products or research artifacts) I became _extremely_ suspicious. The only non-scammy thing I could find

If you're a strong technologist, ideally with some reverse engineering experience, and you befriend a bank CTO, you will probably be offered a job that is part this and part saving projects that are trying their best to jump off a seri

In another comment, this user links a CRuby commit that they claim adds it. It seems legit. Linked commit contains code for rotating tagged floats so bits 60..62 go to the least significant positions, and a comment about a range of unboxed

Seems legit. Linked commit contains code for rotating tagged floats so bits 60..62 go to the least significant positions, and a comment about a range of unboxed floats between 1.7...e-77 and 1.7...e77, plus special casing 0.0.

The description is amazing, but the demo video feels underwhelming. Available music generation models sound much more musical and have much better diction on vocals.

This week I needed to quickly have a peek at what was saved in a testing database, and I wondered "does VisiData support this?" and sure enough vd test.sqlite3 gave me a list of tables, right there in the terminal, and ch

I've been using this as my first question to any new LLM I try and I'm quite sure nothing before GPT-4 even got close to a correct solution. Can you post a prompt that GPT-2 or 3 can solve?
