Do you mean that you can mark files for which still the underlying filesystem is used? As far as I remember there were experiments with that about 20 years ago, but it was decided that the added complexity wasn't worth it. The implemen

If you select 30, 60 or 90 columns you get the clearest patterns. It kinda seems that the more divisors the number of columns has, the clearer the vertical clusters are. And somehow 30, 60 and 90 stand out. Number theory is so weird. I expe

This thread fails to mention that a cipher has to be somewhat hard to compute or someone with a lot of resources can't just brute force it. Therefore you also want an implementation of a given cipher to be as efficient as possible, so

Well, as bee_rider pointed out somewhere in this thread, the new employees learn what personality they are suppose to fake. So maybe these tests are working better than we think. The lying might even psychologically trick these employees to

I mean he's not wrong, but why would I watch this nearly 2 hours narcissist orgy? Too much talking, too little music. This video is primarily about this dude making himself look good, which also seriously questions his credibility.

"Plastic is bad" is the current fad. There is nothing clear about it. Sure Macroplastic causes well documented damage. I don't know of any proven effects of Microplastics in large animals/humans. The argument seems to be

As a nihilist my sense of meaning seams to be compatible to yours. I don't deny that we can come up with all sorts of meanings but the point is that there is no intrinsically higher meaning to everything, it's all made up. In fact

US's legitimization of it's leading role in the world is based on the story how they saved the world from the nazis. This story escalated ideologically, so now any critique of Israel is indirectly questioning USA as the world lead

Oh, my experience was different. Got the model through ollama. I'm quite impressed how they managed to bake in the censorship. It's actually quite open about it. I guess censorship doesnt have as bad a rep in china as it has here?

Well, caloric value isn't that exact to begin with, so there is no point in being overly exact. Afaik it's derived by burning the food and measuring the heat it produces, but your body doesn't burn it (like pyrolysis), it use

No, but we can look at the amount of misery, that is prevented by not using cars. Traffic jams, pollution, accidents, waste of resources,... The difference is so huge, we don't need to put a number on it. Public transport might be unpl

This is so wrong, I don't even know where to begin, my head is spinning. Luckily HN came to the rescue for once. But sadly this is the kind of reasoning that actually works in politics and finance.

So, going back on topic, how is the robotaxi business going, that Musk promised you could start 2020? His success relies on delusional people believing his bs. No amount of real world facts will convince his followers he was wrong, as you j

I'd say as an llm it should know this kind of stuff from training, contrary to me, for whom this is out of domain data. Anyhow I don't think the AI did a great job on that line. Would require better performance for it to be useful

Should the line "p.o. 5rd w/ new W5 533" say "p.o. 3rd w/ new WW 5W .533R"? What does p.o. stand for? I can't make out the first letter. It looks more like the f, but the nodge on the upper left only fits

I absolutely agree. I'm vaping medical cannabis with over 30% THC and like it alot. Yes it's very strong and hard to dose, but there are options. I use an analytical scale with .1mg display, so I can measure the 20-25mg per hit. W

In chemistry only very simple stuff works the first time you try it. Even skilled chemists usually fail to replicate research papers, especially in organic chemistry. It's very frustrating. Lots of work, lots of cleaning up. Pretty muc
