yeah, nobody can visualize it. it's something you just get used to after a while. there's an old joke about a mathematician teaching an engineer about thirteen-dimensional spaces. "What do you think," the mathematician a

FromSoft is putting out some really interesting experimental bangers too. If you haven't tried the new Armored Core, I highly recommend it -- it's a great bridge from a beloved-but-niche genre (mech games) toward the mainstream. I

So what? Lots of amazing research is being spearheaded by English-as-a-second-language learners these days, I don’t think it detracts from the idea in the minds of the target audience. Some day soon, I wouldn’t be surprised if most applied

Agree in principle but why use fp32? These are binary vectors, so OP just needs a fast Hamming distance

Do your vectors change a lot? What have you tried so far? As a strong baseline, storing 10e6 512-bit vectors in memory should take about 640MiB of RAM. A binary Hamming distance between a query and a gallery is [popcnt(query xor elt) for el

nope, and that's (currently) by design! from a user perspective, passkeys are supposed to be impossible to duplicate. here are some workarounds: - you can log into your 1password on multiple devices - you can sign in by QR code, with t

For others reading this thread, looks like KeePassXC announced passkey support last October! Does it work well?

Odd! I've been able to sign into desktops running Chrome both on Windows and Mac. Both times Chrome will show a QR code that my iPhone scans. The actual passkey is stored in 1Password. The dark pattern about signing up for google pay i

“Forwarding” here almost certainly refers to the From: header in the email. If I receive an email at my personal gmail address with “From: noreply @mybank.com” that was sent to me by “myuniversity.edu”, gmail will start to mark that email a

These are not small pieces of code by any means :) Professional kernels used by the likes of Autocad and Siemens have fourth to fifty years of development and hundreds of thousands of engineering hours. It’s not as simple as taking a mesh o

Exactly. The only way this makes sense is if Google provided a way to import your PGP key into Gmail, which it doesn’t.

I think that requires a baseline reasoning capability that we see no signs of developing as of yet. In the field of AI, only game playing / graph search has gotten to that level of superhuman capability.

Top papers claim 99.5% accuracy. Since this is measured on a 10,000-sample evaluation set, there are 50 misclassified results. I'd love to see a table of them. Back in the day, papers claiming top performance on MNIST would just start

It's not quite what you're asking for, but you can retrieve heath records using a Shortcut. I'm not sure if detailed sleep data is retrievable this way, but you at least can get times to bed, times woken up, etc.

Making fun of “woke” is a pretty right-wing-coded behavior in my experience, even (especially?) in the context of April Fools joking. If they had omitted the word “woke” and, say, simply joked about being more “corporate” perhaps, I think t

I’d love to poke at this if you don’t mind. One advantage of downloading everything is that you only download it once. If the user is enabling/disabling features, you’ll have to then re-ship a new js bundle, no?
