Yeah. I think that would have been much more appropriate but a lot less exciting. Before I read the article I was thinking maybe some researchers were stealing ice from each other and was really excited to understand why.

You can also stock up a lot of fuel in a small amount of space for a long time with uranium. I can't imagine China striking a nuclear power plant since the radiation would spread over to large parts of China.

That's not true in all scenarios. I once donated an infant car seat to a coworker but forgot I had put an AirTag on it. After she had taken it home, her iPhone told there was an unknown AirTag and she texted me. I apologized profusely

Did you really mean to leave your AES key in the code in RedflyEncryptionKeys? > public const string AesKey = ... Also, the way AES is used in the code is not good practice. It seems to be using plain AES ( https://learn.micro

That's a repeating pattern with technologies. Most of the early investments don't pay off and the transformation does happen but also quite a bit later than people predicted. This was true of the steam engine, the telegraph, elect

OK. Thanks for explaining that. Using the human body as batteries for power has NEVER made sense to me. I suspected it was something involved with our brains. That makes it more "believable".

That stuff is all over Silicon Valley. Santa Clara County actually has one of the most if not the most EPA superfund sites. It's the leftover legacy of chip manufacturing. When you rent in the Bay Area, the landlord does not have to di

Even companies as well resourced as Microsoft made these mistakes well into the 2000s. Remember when they used plain old AES to encrypt the Viewstate for ASP.Net? It was vulnerable to padding oracle attacks: https://en.wikipedia.

I can't believe we would get fogged by those planes as we waited for our school buses. It would sting our eyes a little bit but then it was fine and all the mosquitos were dead. It's probably okay... I hope.

Yeah growing up in the Florida Keys, our county did this on a county level. They used to use DC-3s to fly super low and fog the entire island but it was found that the pesticide was bad for fishes so they switched to truck based fogging. As

This is one topic that Florida man knows better than most: a propane powered fogger was super effective when I was growing up in Florida. They would also do this as a public service where trucks operated by the county would drive by and fog

Can you explain to a non ML software engineer what these distillation methods mean? What does it mean to have R1 train a Llama model? What is special about DeepSeek’s distillation methods? Thanks!
