The Fn key is superfluous. Four modifiers, Shift, Ctrl, Meta and Alt are enough. Use Alt and Shift to produce more letters like Alt-Y on my keyboard to make « (opening guillemets). If a keyboard has about 48 keys to produce letters or digit

One problem I encountered with ESM TypeScript development on the browser without bundling: many Node packages aren't set up for that. You might ask why without bundling? Sometimes you just want to start something simple on the browser

True. It's banally evil, but real war is just a lot worse.

Sorry to disagree, but I don't think it is hatred and it is not a war. I think it is indifference mixed with selfishness and a collection of many little or perhaps not so little power grabs. One example might be that poor people can&#x

True, but too boring! Publications need to gather as many eyeballs as possible for fame or more mundanely, advertisement revenues.

You could use "confabulate" instead, could you? "Make stuff up" is very human and would personify "AI" even more.

I agree with this comment. In fact I would even stop talking about the profound concept of truth. Long time ago I read this wisdom: «God's omnipotence raises the intriguing possibility that two contradictory religions could both be tru

I am a father and this story touches me a lot. I have two boys not toddlers anymore. Both go to school. The older one told me laughingly: "That's funny, there's no Father Nature, but Mother Nature!". The younger one lear

Hmm... Frowning... Good? What's the catch? Perhaps this one: after having paid something, you will still get massively overpriced bills later?

Offer a loop-hole? If someone went as far as putting the money in an escrow account to buy out your asset, you could retroactively increase the declared value. This of course has a price: You need to retroactively pay the tax for a few year

The assumption of perfect information is still useful as long state actors maintain market conditions for that. Bangladesh example: Consumers didn't know about lead in turmeric. After the information campaign consumers know about lead

Right. I didn't research the account too well, my bad. However the account also has little karma and this triggered my suspicions (shrugs). Trust in accounts like Tutanota seems to be rather informal. Perhaps it works anyway.

Perhaps quantization with 4 bits is a special case of what I meant. With 4 bits you have 16 different weight values but these values must not be quantized. They could be anything provided gradient descent is possible. Have some combination

by _nalply 3y ago
Probably even 4 bit values suffice. Invent some binary operations that exhibit some smoothness or continuousness such that gradient descent still works, because mostly a small change should have only a small effect. I think mathematicians w

Your point is interesting. I didn't think about this use case. Inject code with ptrace. Like the LD_PRELOAD trick but you don't even need LD_PRELOAD, just attach and bamboozle the running process into running some code you provide

Right, but that trick is not so useful if you have a different section than .text only, and that's what GP is referring to.

Perhaps the next gold rush is tailored manufacturing. For example for food. Let's imagine Catalan crème brûlée. Have sliders where you can adjust the sweetness of the curd, the darkness of the caramel, and so on. Okay, perhaps food is

Yes it's awesomeness reminds me of the Tcherenkoff light I once saw with my own eyes. It was a deep pool of a test reactor and I even asked the guide if I am allowed to put my index finger into the water. It was warm. I looked long and

What if there was a real Edison bulb having a night mode? I imagined it having a circuit to dim it during the night, like a night light. For example having a few filaments inside a bulb and switching between parallel for more light and seri

I wonder how strong the radiation was. If strong enough it dissociates and then by burning it gives back the energy... Looks like a fake perpetuum mobile...

It's not the same. Advertisement for countermeasures does not mean that compliance is controlled. Compare advertisement vs the Japanese "fat ban".
