That's not quite right. UTF-8 is not arbitrary length. Officially, it's at most four bytes, of which 21 bits are usable for encoding codepoints - so that's an upper limit of 2^21 codepoints. There is an initial byte encoding

This is great. Customising extra mouse buttons for day-to-day computer use is underrated. I mapped the two side buttons on my mouse to switch virtual desktops, and now I can't live without it. Switching desktops is a three-fingered swi

It's pretty evident. Its training would no longer be anchored to reality, and given its output is non-deterministic, the process would result in random drift. This can be concluded without having to test it. Now, if training was modifi

Yeah, it's patchy. Most porn being illegal and erectile dysfunction drugs not being covered by the PBS are two things that come to mind on the conservative side.

Ah, this will presumably break some Arch Linux AUR packages. Preparing for bug reports.

They're a backup system if the currently in-use systems fail. If they work only 99% of the time, they've cut accidents in the class they are designed to prevent by 99%. That's excellent. Perfection does not seem any more nece

Not the person you asked, but if that happens I restore from backup.

My mental model is that if you give it real words, it uses approximately one token per word, and it may or may not know how many letters are in the word - it will have learned how many letters there are only if that information was in its t

The EMH doesn't say these things are impossible, it says you got lucky and won't be able to reproduce the same gains better than chance in the future.

At least for a while before I moved to self-hosted systemd timers, if you were running jobs near 0:00 UTC, the delay was often so long that your job wouldn't run at all. I had weeks of jobs literally not running at all before bailing o

I had a patch rejected after being told "patches welcome", for lacking detailed user testing or not matching any official user stories or something (which is BS, the rationale was just as good as anything), only for the person who

For what it's worth, since people make borrowing and lending decisions taking into account what they think inflation will be over the course of the loan, usually inflation predictions over the next however-many years are used to comput

This didn't work for me at first, it just said the first line "Assistant is a large language model trained by OpenAI.". I added in the English bit that the file is 1024 bytes in size, then it gave the full prompt. Edit: didn&

I wonder if it's something about you running on Wayland, and some terminals or programs are running under XWayland? Not sure if the two actually share the primary selection clipboard or whatever properly. I'm still under Xorg (run

If it was really close to the shape on an actual sine wave, then the derivative at any earlier time encodes information about the future peak. Any way some system could be bottlenecked by the rate of change of the visit rate (i.e. the vis

Ah yes, apologies. Still, big job to construct the database of what things correspond to what answers to the questions - and to choose the questions.

One problem with this explanation of how it might work is that it appears to know far more than 256 things - though I don't know how many. And even if it did know only that many, how do you construct the set of questions? Actually prog

by doubleunplussed 4y ago
It's been a longstanding question of mine how these things were programmed. How did they construct the database of answers and questions, and what the answer to each question would be for each possible answer?

I'll give it a go, but I've tried several and waifu2x gave significantly better results, so I'm not expecting much will be happy to be wrong! My use case is 2x upscaling detailed, very small pixel-art-style images, like icons

by doubleunplussed 4y ago
There's waifu2x, it does scaling but also denoising: https://github.com/nagadomi/waifu2x And other implementations thereof, e.g: https://github.com/nihui/waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan

Is it better than waifu2x? Nothing I've tried is. I might try this one out to see, but if anyone who has can comment on how it compares, I'd appreciate it.

That really depends what metrics you think are relevant. On the one hand, the average black person in the US is more disadvantaged than the average white person. That much is true. If you meet a random person, and they are black, statistica

For what it's worth, two of the Falcon Heavy cores landed simultaneously at the launch site, the third was intended to land on a barge at sea, but came in too hot and crashed into the ocean.

Why can't they just pay the interest with newly-created money? I mean, that might not be how things are set up right now, and it would make their position even more negative since newly-created cash is a liability on their balance shee
