I have trouble with the idea that these lattice structures could be less computationally complex or less likely to collide than a good simple hash table. I guess they could be more guaranteed to have stable access times? The more I try to

Just a comment: this sounds a lot like when someone I knew mildly succumbed to AI psychosis, and thought he, with Gemini, had made some physics/metaphysics breakthrough. If you’re losing sleep and feeling distressed or euphoric, maybe

I think that’s compatible with my take: Be prepared to enthusiastically think of and promote the greater good (abundant, cheaper housing in this case) rather than protecting every single valuable individual thing (existing house value, amon

Are you in California? Most states (and other countries) do tax the homeowners proportional to their homes’ market value. California with its tax proportional to value at purchase is the outlier.

This is really the message of Abundance . I both liked Abundance and think there’s truth to what you’re saying. But it wasn’t what I took away from the book (perhaps it was in there - but what I really got was ‘for a better future we n

Getting solar installed on our house, providing well over 100% of our energy needs overall (including car), has left me low-key kind of angry that we, as a society, are letting so much energy just uselessly fall onto structures and the grou

Yes. In fact, the ‘Results’ section in the paper linked from the article ( https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aed3904 ) says, in its first sentence: Any analysis of individual arming decisions must account

Even if you disagree that this disproves ‘consciousness’ on the part of the LLM, I think it still follows that the ‘LLM Chatbot’ personality displayed by Claude, where humans fill in the other half of the conversation, is no more of a repre

I see what you’re saying - index 0 holds values from 0-1, index 2 from 1-2 etc, but then you have index 255 holding values between 255 and 256. So you’re sort of arguing that the 0-255 8-bit quantization is actually representing ‘real’ valu

I’m baffled by the current state of Linux for ARM where every board needs a special .dtb/.dts to describe its hardware and, often, peripherals, rather than there being some kind of self-describing plug-and-play-ish system like has been

You’re thinking tactically. All tactics, no strategy is the way of things currently - on the right especially, but on the left to some extent too. It’s maddening.

I thought the same until we started getting our house cleaned every two weeks. It’s so freeing . It feels well worth even a few hours of my work to pay for the time of the (so efficient) cleaners. So much better value than things most peop

Isn’t it kinda traditional for people to say new Ferrari models are ‘ugly’ and ‘not a Ferrari’?

Because those require you to get to grips with “a tiny i2c/oled display, wires and set of basic switches” when you’re interested in coding, not hardware.

Another case of this administration just doing what it wants and ignoring legislation - ignoring the will of Congress. And Congress abdicating its responsibility to even make its will clear. I am no longer surprised, but still don’t underst
