Do we actually know the clouds will do this? S3 is just about coming to its 20th anniversary. Long enough to experience data rot to a small degree but realistically what proportion of users have archived things away for 10+ years then audit

We can point fingers at the rich for making more money but really we should be hounding our government for wasting money. All the taxes and confiscation in the world won't fill this bottomless pit Just today: "£700m nuclear conser

Naughty Dog used Racket and their own in house lisp (prior to that) to write their games. Could be mistaken but IIRC Jak and Daxter was the first console game to have a fully streaming world and they achieved it using a technique inspired b

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but that is kind of the truth. A breakup is horrible, in its worst case it is similar to an untimely death and can come with grief and maybe even worse because the person is still aliv

An LLM probabilistically produces tokens over its model which is why it can hallucinate whilst an actual graph model would not have that issue

Seeing tiny tiny kids walking around is one of my favourite qualities of Japanese life, and on the flipside I sensed a quiet but shared responsibility/interest everyone took in making sure no harm befell the child on their journey. One

Something I find interesting is that my mother grew up in similar conditions - poor in Borneo in the 50s, my aunt was literally born in the jungle while hiding from the Japanese And yet my mum's family were raised that they were broke,

Oh hohoho but that would imply that the auction is inefficient and so surely rational actors would descend upon these auctions thereby converging this discount onto the true fair value of things. Heaven forbid we admit that markets are not

I mean I'm not really qualified or rigourous enough to prove this but if you have learned chinese and english it should be pretty damn obvious that it is linguistic. But in any case, human language and culture are intractable if you

It makes sense when you think of coins in terms of the commodities they were pegged to - a sliver of copper and nickel to pay for a loaf of bread.

Max effort is kind of nebulous as it really means different things to different people. Heart rate is probably the simplest and universal gauge for this... Atm I am somewhat unfit (relative to my past/potential) so when I do a round on

I'm pretty sure steps count when you get up and go to the toilet... When I did my masters, we were in a Chemistry wet lab 8 hours a day and during the first month I would come home completely exhausted. I realised later that this was b

If you are familiar with lisp are there still big benefits to going through the journey again with forth? Or is it just more recursion and expression except via a stack rather than a list

Reminds me of Gellman amnesia but for LLMs Seems apt because people's relationship with journalists and facts seem to be about the same - most people take it at face value and SMEs decry poor reporting

No one is debating whether glucose is or isn't a building block for life, the problem is that humans have evolved from an existence that has of food scarcity but now lives in a world of food abundance. Not only do we live in food abund

Years ago I was a convert to open ear bone conduction by Shokz (then Aftershokz) but the band was a little annoying and now I use the Huawei Freeclips which I am very happy with. Bose also have an open ear product. My priority with exercise

Amusing how thanks to the war on cholesterol the UK unravelled a lot of egg eating habits - a natural source of vitamin D. The UK also consumed a lot more liver than it does today I imagine...

Almost every cuisine Singapore serves will be sweeter relative to the authentic recipe. For example Korean food here is so sweet my wife thought she doesn't like Korean cuisine until she went to Seoul. Japanese food is definitely healt

This is somewhat intuitive when you think that sugar is almost pure energy and in a food-scarce existence that we evolved for, energy is synonymous with survival. So alongside reproducing, consuming energy is probably one of the most basic
