i would expect a huge shift like that to violate the gaussian assumption of the kalman filter? (which i guess is what you're checking, sort of?). regardless i would expect the kalman filter to smooth the shift over some substantial t

i wonder how definitive that is and how well they were able to reproduce the issue under controlled conditions and how strong the evidence is that there was particularly strong solar radiation in play. it would probably be a good thing if t

even a really strong shot of cafe bustelo failed to make this an interesting read.

it makes some sense for embedded stuff, linux is only continuing to gain ground there. are there any linux phone projects that are actively maintained and used in 2025? i was under the impression that android kinda subsumed them all.

termux is actually a pretty good little linux distro. i still keep wondering if the vm/container thing they shipped in recent versions of android for pixel will subsume it. i was really hoping that with the display port over usb-c out

maybe the ionized oxygen sensation, the ozone, the garbage and smoke are like a thin film of garbage and smoke particles in the nasal cavity experiencing mechanical stimulation. the mr guidance seems like a good idea, but the actual mount a

that's an interesting mix of smells. i can't help but wonder if it's resulting from stimulation or the sensing of byproducts of the process itself.

python replaced it as a general purpose scripting language. a bunch of other things (java, ruby, js) replaced cgi scripts and mod_perl as a web backend environment. python became a "must know" to interview at google. old perl was

this is pretty fun, slick to think you can do things like this now and it will be performant: https://github.com/MatthewTheCoder1218/princejs/blob/main/sr... interesting to dig deep into the bun runtime

seems to be missing some stuff. first, the notion that most real-valued functions can be decomposed to an infinite sum of orthogonal basis functions of which fourier bases are one. this is the key intuition that builds up the notion of line

i think inheritance got a bad name due to abuse of multiple inheritance and overly fragile base classes in c++ (and maybe java) codebases of the 90s and early 00s. it's mentally satisfying to create a beautiful class hierarchy that per

in this case a company that develops X is actively investing in understanding the Y problem and sharing their findings with the general public towards development of an X that doesn't have a Y problem?

intuitively it has seemed that these kinds of "fuzzy text search" applications are an area where llms really shine. it's cool to see evidence of it working. i'm curious about some kind of notion of "prompt overfitti

this is the actually annoying part. they keep a/b testing or otherwise putting the ai feature button in the cardinal position and software uis keep turning into a constant game of dismissing the ai feature and finding where the actual

my understanding is that this is the dynamic in modern college classrooms. everyone opens a big shared google doc for notes and they all collaboratively edit a set of notes in real-time. or at least that's what i've heard, no ide

"too big to share." nope. sharing the finished soup base, even if well suited for inclusion in other recipes, is still different from sharing the complete recipe. sharing the complete recipe encourages innovation in soup bases, in

...and my point is that it should be. the practice of science itself would be far stronger if it took more pages from open source software culture.

i disagree. words matter. the whole point of open source is that anyone can look and see exactly how the sausage is made. that is the point. that is why the word "open" is used. ...and sure, compiling gcc is nondeterministic too,

it still doesn't sit right. sure it's different in terms of mutability from say, compiled software programs, but it still remains not end to end reproducible and available for inspection. these words had meaning long before "

"open source" means there should be a script that downloads all the training materials and then spins up a pipeline that trains end to end. i really wish people would stop misusing the term by distributing inference scripts and mo
