Yeah, I'm * totally* unimpressed . I, for one, learn all my math without ever seeing any math or logic examples at all . "Teacher, what is this '34+12' stuff - I've already developed a complete grand unification th

The tokens in most gpt models are small like this, but they still 'learn tokenization' very similar to what you just mentioned. It's part of the multi headed attention. It learns what level of detail in the tokenization is ne

The effect you mentioned (democratic deficit) is also inversely correlated with unionization (which positively correlates with public engagement with government). So it could be that the reduction in population median household income due

Or people get fed up with cloud companies like Google (already happening) and people realize self hosting is becoming more and more simple (also happening) to the point where anyone can do it. IPFS and other tooling could push a decent port

Headscale seems even better! They've taken what tailscale has done and improved it even more by allowing it to be a completely self hosted and private solution.

The difference is that there is far more wasted energy when using electric stoves vs a gas stove. There are more carbon emissions from electric appliances over gas appliances because of the losses (entropy, etc) at each step.

It was moved away from, but in recent years it's been picked up again, with growing intensity. Just look at deepmind for example, which has been publishing with neuroscientist wet labs. Two papers come to mind - one showing the &quot

Health concerns are real (methane and potentially CO), but they are one thing - vastly more energy efficient. So if you're in to energy efficiency gas appliances make some sense. There's something ridiculous about burning a to

Can you explain how Simpsons paradox applies here?

To be fair, I have a graduate degree in engineering and working on a different PhD and there were many things in that these I didn't understand. It's really incredible to me how quickly everything just became category theory i

Wow, the monero project looks like they have some great ideas. I like this reproducible build - may try to get my team to work towards that. It seems like monero has more of a focus on use as a real currency, so hopefully it isn't dr

I think the "power guzzling" claim is kind of ridiculous, considering that crypto currency consumes a tiny fraction of power compared to that of fiat currency. Disliking the hype and speculative aspects makes sense, but consider

You don't have Firefox or any browser? How are you posting? W3m? I would imagine that these have an enormous amount of bugs and security issues if parts of basic Linux programs are riddled enough with them by your standards.

This is great. I noticed however that they mention that getting kicked off of Google (which apparently is happening *A LOT* now, as nearly every day there's been multiple HN posts stating they have been locked out) - and this is the (

I believe they're interested in Gadolinium, rather than Gallium.

I'm interested in this, as it somewhat fits my experience on local stuff. (I haven't spent on a Vps yet, as I haven't figured out how to do so in a completely secure, private, and perhaps maybe even somewhat anonymous fashion

Normally I would prefer a go implementation given the option (especially since this is network focused), but I was surprised to see that the go implementation of wiregaurd (not headscale, just the vanilla wiregaurd-go) is considerably slowe

by chaxor 5y ago
Isn't headscale a clearly better option, since it removes the need to trust and depend on external sources? It the same software essentially, but if we're talking about self hosting, headscale is just inherently better, since it

Ummm I'm sorry, but I don't see how this is practically simple. Theoretically , maybe - [and I agree with the idea that there is potentially (hopefully) a paradigm shift in initial play now, with the thrust being multifaceted

I just started with kitty, and I think it's a very important development specifically because I don't have to use xdg-open. To clarify, the problem is that I typically use remote resources to run analysis - typically on via s

This is nice. I have always been interested in seeing a database which had consistent units and ingredients as well, such that pulling the full database and doing visualizations could be easily done. This would also make the adjustment to t

It's interesting that it took so long for this to finally be resolved, such that now - the technological goals that they had may actually be surmountable soon. I wonder what Theranos 2.0 will be called when it cross up in a few years.

I'm confused. Is Dr. Ferguson and Dr. Vonagen's observations about s/sn ratio not decent evidence towards this? It seems quite good statistically to me.

I think much of the interest in theories of lab leaks, or various other theories - credible or not, are mostly propelled with the same thrust as groundbreaking science itself: they want to find some truth about the world that's been un

Your first claim has a very large uncertainty in it's validity for use here, but the second - that second sentence is pretty important.
