I love the R3 SA profile, where all the keys have the same profile as the third row of regular SA. Not as sculpted as regular SA, which I find too much.

The fashion houses all ended up looking exactly the same. Burberry is the first to swing back the other way, returning to an updated serif logo. https://twitter.com/ucllc/status/1622979476899393536 So, hopefully

I just asked GPT-4, and it denies being a MoE model. User: Are you an MoE model? ChatGPT: No, I am not based on a Mixture of Experts (MoE) model. My underlying architecture is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) framework,

The Economist also wrote an article about this last week, spurred by the class action lawsuit. Paywalled as well, but I'm hoping you have some free articles left, unlike the WSJ: https://www.economist.com/leaders/

This probably doesn't help you directly, but I suspect the older people mentioned in the article may often have some sleep apnea, preventing them from reaching deep sleep. I just started using a CPAP machine, which has greatly improve

As I mentioned in another comment, they voted down ranked choice voting in Massachusetts where I live, which really made me sad. In the next election there was an open seat for my Congress person. There were something like 5 progressive ca

I don't think American voters could understand that very well. Where I live in Massachusetts they defeated a ballot initiative for ranked choice voting, which is just clearly better (in that it reflects the will of the people), especi

That work I was referring to is a creative, artistic process of designing a font based on a historical starting point. That does matter. Hardly mowing the lawn or compiling a phone book.

Historical revivals are hardly the same thing. They often end up far from the original, and require a ton of work. It isn't just a matter of digitization. And they "claim copyright" on their derived work, not the original.

I also read it recently, and didn't care for it much. But I was always more of a Asimov / Clarke fan than of Heinlein, so I wasn't super surprised.

I see LaTeX as the only game in town if you're writing a paper in math / CS / engineering / etc. The conference or journal provides a formatting template, and you use that. These days it seems like Overleaf is very co

Yes I think you’re right. I was talking about the standalone enter key, or you could also do some modifier and return. It has been a long time

Yes. If you ever find yourself buying a webfont for your latest website or logo, always see if you can buy it direct from the designer. Monotype takes a huge (like >50%) cut if I remember correctly. For example, my last project I used

The Pile and Red Pajama are primarily English language datasets. If you want something multilingual, I'd suggest having a look at the Bloom dataset https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.14712

The python version is great news. I get asked fairly frequently to recommend an intro ML book. I would have suggested this, except they usually only knew python and not R. Now it a perfect first book!
