There’s also laser vitreolysis that’s substantially less invasive. I’m sure there are more authoritative links but i picked this one because i thought it said ‘burningeye.com’ at first: https://www.brueningeye.com/laser-floa

If your goal is passing a test or rushing through homework then yes. But if you’re actually curious about a topic and understand the limitations of LLMs and how to use prompt language you can actually learn quite a lot from them.

This reminds me of those polyrhythm visualizations on YouTube (check out LucidRhythms for some great examples). https://www.youtube.com/@LucidRhythms Probably almost impossible to adapt written works 'backwards' i

Ask it this. "Please spell the word strawberry with a phonetic representation of each letter then tell me how many 'r's are in the word strawberry?" It's gotten the answer right every time I've tried.

The closest (presumed) black hole to the Earth is Gaia BH1, which is about 1500 light years away. The expanding shell of photons reflected from the Earth during this era are just now reaching it. Some small percentage of those photons are

LLMs don’t feel like a whole brain, they feel like the impulsive side that gets filtered by other processes.

This kind of thing is true outside the context of the head of a company. I've worked for mid-level leadership in large companies (maybe 1,000 people reporting to them) that basically just cast spells and hope the magic gets done by the

I probably shouldn't be commenting because I don't have any experience at this level, but given it's a closed system where they control supply and demand it seems they could manage away most congestion issues with scheduling&

If you're into distributed citizen science you might like rasbpherryshake https://stationview.raspberryshake.org/ I haven't pulled the trigger yet but keep coming back and thinking about it.

How has ’free as in puppies’ not reached its rightful place on the podium?

Great point. All it would take is some evidence of bias in the follow up questions to invalidate that approach completely.

Trust me, it feels like anything but discipline. XD But yes, having regulators breathing down our necks does free up some appetite to go the extra mile.

What might be better is have a large language model interview the officer and the whole thing recorded and transcribed.

As I'm guessing you're starting to suspect, there is no magic tool here. It typically requires a dedicated 'platform engineering' team to manage the tooling and onboarding process, some kind of governance process over th

I think there would be great value in a federal program to allow minors to have restricted access to a brokerage account so that schools can educate them and set them up on the spot. Just that little bit of friction up front is blocking so

Mid 30s is not bad -- I did that in my mid 40s :-\ It's eye opening, it feels like I got lied to growing up. Both of my kids have money market accounts now. Great quote btw, I'm reminded of it regularly.

Think 1-800-CONTACTS not Siri. Call centers are super expensive and the user experience is usually pretty bad. There's a huge incentive to move to voice agents, but one of the challenges is building a framework to adequately test it.

That factoid, that the fuel pump on an F-1 was 55,000 horsepower, has stuck in my mind since the time I first read it. It's so mind-boggling. I would love to just experience the moment when the engineers on the program realized that

I had heard about spiking neural networks but I didn't really think about them until your post here. Lately I've been kind of deep diving into biological neurons (just a lay perspective) and what we know about their mechanism of

Have a look at the thorns on a honey locust. I'm curious if they have a similar mechanism. They are very woody and oh so so sharp.

Agreed and I’m sure there are tons of anecdotesb just in this community. My daughter for example is a night shift labor and delivery nurse at a level three metro hospital. They were heavily impacted. All of the phones were down, all of t

I wonder if you can change the index of refraction inside the bulk material. Might be cool for this kind of thing where you can make passive classifiers. https://hackaday.com/2019/07/16/neural-network-in-glas
