(High level, specifics are definitely wrong here) The VAE isn't really pixel-level, it's semantic-level. The most significant bits in the encoding are like "how light or dark is the image" and then towards the other end

If you consider kernel programming to be inherently unsafe, then you would consider this to be inevitable, meaning it's not really the specific company's fault. They were just the unlucky ones.

That's not true, LLMs can answer questions in one language even if they were only trained on that data in another language. IE you train an LLM on both English and French in general, but only teach it a specific fact in French, it can

"Noon" is rooted in a physical phenomenon - when the sun is highest in the sky. But "UTC Noon" is arbitrary, because we had to pick a point on the earth. Leap seconds are trying to ensure that, standing at the point we a

Wouldn't a cone work better, so that your normal force is perpendicular to the surface that you're running on? You'd have to calibrate the angle of the cone to a specific running speed, but other than that, it seems like a co

In my experience it's a third option - that optimistic and pessimistic people have different experiences and evidence. So when people say they are an optimist, they mean "in general the evidence that I have leads me to a more posi

Assuming this is an API and not a website, my approach would be (other than just paying cloudflare to handle it). Application servers that aren't listed on DNS and their IPs kept secret. A _lot_ of proxy servers that take requests, che

Exactly. Sex on TV used to be edgy and scandalous, but now it's just banal. If it's not scandalous, not edgy, not meaningful to the story, and not even erotic, why would I want to watch it? This is like being shocked that people r

That doesn't mean they want to be alive though. Surviving a suicide attempt is a pretty awful and traumatic experience. It's entirely logical to not try again, out of fear that you will survive. Of course, that's absolutely n
