Will do. I'm on vacation right now and losing my laptop for a few days, but seems worth trying. My recollection from the RNGs a decade ago (I'm dating myself) was that the AES approaches had higher latency but were quite decent, t

Oh, that's interesting - good point, since it's filtered and not trained from scratch. My prior would be to assume it's just bs'ing as LLMs usually do but it seems worth exploring.

I prefer my 8yo's answer about quantum entanglement, asked just now: "I don't know. How would I know? It's not a thing!" Even an 8yo has better metacognition, it seems. :-)

It's not critical but if you gave me something that behaved statistically like PCG (i.e., I didn't fret about whether it was going to cause me weird problems) but was twice as fast I'd be happy and would shift to it - it woul

This is a very weird hill to die on. I do a lot of testing and designing of things like hash tables and filters, and having a really fast, non-CS generator is incredibly useful for being able to clearly identify performance bottlenecks in d

In photos after you can toggle between the AI modified and original. The original isn't as blurry as the preview shown - there's still a lot of image stacking happening and it's often very decent in my experience. Edited to a

There's been a lot of fun, practical work recently on optimal join algorithms! (Full disclosure, this advisor on this paper is one of Andy and my former students, so I'm slightly biased) RPT: https://people.iiis.tsingh

It's disjointed? The post that started this sub-thread asked: > 1. How many total problems were given to the model, and what percent were left unsolved at what cost before giving up? 2. How many attempts did you give the model at so

This seems very unlikely compared to the obvious answer that they added a crappy antenna to keep their BoM and assembly costs low. The radios on these are weak and adding an Omni antenna is exceptionally unlikely to violate EIRP. Could this

This isn't really about delivering - it's more about helping to understand the shape of problems that AI can solve right now. If they took 1000 problems and threw the model at it and it solved these ten, is there something we lear

The people to whom you are responding were talking about the lack of details in this article about the Guinness "trick", not the ketamine.

I'm close to DIYing it also. I have two of the la crosse clocks. One works well. The other consistently fails to update. It would be cheaper to buy a new one to see if it's a dud or that location, but I already gave up on it and m

It's probably not. I tried to extract the commit hash from the version of bun packaged in claude code. the commit hashes from previous versions resolve, whereas the commit hash for the current 1.4.0 isn't available. from strings:

I used it for a bunch of remote monitor boxes to have a way of centrally managing ssh access to things that were often on- and off-line. It was simple and convenient and access was easily revocable.

Russia's inability to have a decisive victory against Ukraine is at odds with the idea that it has sufficient stockpiles and launch capability to reduce kiev to rubble any time it wishes. If it had that capability, it would have the ca

I think you're over-estimating the capability of both sides of the fight (absent nuclear weapons on the part of Russia). Both sides appear to be using drones and missiles as fast as they can manufacture them. One could argue Russia cou

Depends if you're talking theory or practice. introselect is worst case O(n) but a lot of implementations implement it with avg case O(n) and worst case O(log n). Median of medians is worst case O(n) but it's slow so mostly avoide
