Yes, you are correct. Nondeterministic grammars are not linear but quadratic. In the case of your palindrome example (thanks btw, added to my grimoire of grammars) I believe the quadratic is: (3n^2 + 6n)/4 (I wish HN did MathJax) I

Use an Earley parser. A properly implemented Earley parser will do unambiguous grammars with left/right/mutual recursion in linear time. The worst case ambiguous I've worked with is UBDA (Earley, 1970). UBDA produces the e

More than once I've found myself going down this 'little maze of twisty passages, all alike'. At some point I stop, collect up the chain of prompts in the conversation, and curate them into a net new prompt that should be a

Interesting - _q4 on a pair of 12Gb 3060s it runs at 20 tok/sec. _q8 (25Gb) on same is about 4 tok/sec.

It's great to see awesome work like this making a difference. Scott Hanselman has blogged[0] and spoken at some length on tech and living with T1D going back to 2002. [0] https://www.hanselman.com/blog/category&#x2

If I were to describe the function f(x) = 0 - x, it would be "F is monotonically decreasing". It seems both words are needed.

Inches of water is sometimes seen for retail vacuums in shop & household use. I have no idea where it came from - perhaps marketing where it gives a buyer an easy to visualize physical model for comparative purposes.

I worked for the minicomputer division(may be using the wrong term - it was a long time ago) from 80-83 as an pre & post sales support - likely equivalent to the "SA" on the mainframe side. Within a week of starting they sent

I'm currently contemplating upgrading my 2013 Leaf battery to a 62Kwh (and much longer range). It's a substantial cost but that would extend the cars life another 15 years. (un)Fortunately I've taken decent care of the orig

When ever it's free, it's all about the data. I recall having a conversation circa 2004/5 with a colleague that Google was an AI company, not a search company.

I'm inclined to believe that of the animals that exhibit varying degrees of self awareness, they have mental structures isomorphic to a recursive grammar. As such, perhaps using a recursive grammar is not distinctly a human trait.

Rosie appears to be an acknowledgment that we shouldn't try to use a regular language when the problem requires a context free language.

Now there's a coincidence - just watched Gifted https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4481414/ last night, quite enjoyed it. This system is featured. Also of note, Terence Tao is credited as "technical advisor:

There are two lifespans. The shelf life and the number of charge cycles (less of a span perhaps) where you charge to 100% and discharge to near 0. If you keep your charge/discharge to 80/20 then your battery life is limited prim

In my jurisdiction I can certainly do the work but am under the same requirements to pull a permit and pass a provincial inspection. It very quickly becomes the most effective to have an electrician involved, maybe not for all the work but

I have the utmost respect for the standards and engineering work done by NIST. I'm left with such cognitive dissonance seeing their name juxtaposed with "AI safety". That said, if anyone can come up with a decent definition
