RLHF uses Markov chains as its backbone, at least theoretically (deep NN function approximations inside might override any theoretical Markov chain effect though).

Google Groups basically destroyed all Usenet competitors and now is going belly up itself, likely taking down a large portion of computing history with itself.

The only thing that is vastly better in VR than in reality are horror games. While one can laugh on how silly/unfrightening the movie nightmare on the Elm street is, a proper VR jump scare can easily lead to a heart attack when followi

I deleted my FB account ages ago and two years later a friend pinged me that I should look at my FB account. I was like what account? I never looked there afterwards anyway so not sure what was going on.

OK, a doctor told me about taking it for 6 months to dissolve smaller stones but I can't find any medical research talking about it dissolving them, so let's assume it's for prevention only.

That's absolutely fantastic! Thanks for the links!

It's specifically beer which has the ability to dissolve the most common type of kidney stones. You can try the alcohol-free versions which work as well ;-)

How does LLaMA handle fast fine-tuning? Are they using transformer adapters for it?

Take potassium citrate; eventually, drink a lot of beer.

Are those particles containing potassium citrate? Lemon is high in potassium and its citrate is known to dissolve existing kidney stones.

So here we are in the dystopia predicted 20 years ago. How are we going to trust historical records when they can be changed on the fly to support whatever is en vogue?

Can't wait to this becoming one of individual performance metrics recording all brain states all the time (video/audio/etc.) and be a part of regular performance reviews...

Huh, how would an enthusiast get 1000x H100 GPUs to train some state-of-art model? ML workflows are the most expensive computing pipelines these days. It's easy to spend $1M/month just on inference alone in production. Without fin

I use Onyx A4 reader and it has completely replaced paper for me. Making notes directly to PDFs while I read them is fantastic. And it saves my eyes. The only drawback is the price (around $1k). I am not watching videos on it though.

Dunno, I remember early Internet; I think we will see it getting in a much worse shape with ChatGPT/Stable diffusion-like tech deployed at scale. Pointless interaction with bots all the time on bot-generated websites with viewers being

Since the VC-backed beginning of "social", Internet became a shared cesspool with gamed interactions. Not really a fulfillment of a dream of the majority of humanity.

For some reason when using VR I feel like MSFS 2020 landing is realistic that I get the ground effect keeping me afloat longer; wind sometimes pushes me to a side as well. I used to fly sailplanes which were extremely sensitive to these thi

Keyboard controls of Vim were one of the most atrocious things I had to endure as a sweng so it's sad to see a replication of this 70s tech derived from inflexible wooden keyboards making it to modern tech stack. Stockholm syndrome&#x2

Can't you disable the CCD without the 3D cache? I remember being able to disable 3 CCDs on my Threadripper using Ryzen Master for gaming.

How about trying acetazolamide or high dose thiamine (1500mg+) for it? They both act as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, therefore could be used to treat altitude sickness and thus be beneficial for (central) sleep apnea as well.

Ask HMD, they made some boneheaded design decisions in the last gen, thinking they are Apple to get away with it. Their sales showed otherwise and now they probably need to get rid of components they bough in advance, so here comes a repair

Ugly notch and no Linux... Not sure what the appeal is? I believe HMD sales tanked right after they introduced the notch (they aren't Apple to get away with it) and this phone seems like a way to clear out unwanted displays via "r
