I recall an article on personalized pricing that had it reversed - the poor pricing is actually higher, bc it's harder to buy more at bulk rate / shop around / just not buy it (discretionary).

I'm inclined to agree. While not always appropriate or popular, it makes some sense to me to have the visual weight/area of the code being ~proportional to it's significance. Communicates the ideas more clearly. Instead of sp

That doesn’t look super awful to me? Hardly extreme code golfing. The far more interesting part is the order of magnitude. If they can pull off a 20k LOC with zero dependencies (implying a pretty concise project size) and it still works wel

I’m working on a new UMAP alternative - curious what kinds of improvements you’d be interested in?

Mentioned in the article's comments: > Why not use UUID7? > "ULID is much older than UUID v7 though and looks nicer" For those unfamiliar, UUIDv7 has pretty much the same properties – sortable, has timestamp, etc. ULID:

On the contrary, I think that was a wonderful answer and reflects the POV well. Hard to imagine something more Stallman-esque!

Ghostty is a terminal like iTerm. This compiles it so it runs in the browser directly, or browser-based environments like VS Code or the Hyper terminal. Without that you’d have to reimplement a whole terminal in JavaScript. Which is what pe

There are a couple philosophies in that vein, like finitism or constructivism. Not exactly mainstream but they’ve proven more than you’d expect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finitism https://en.wikipedia.org

Simple, they’re arbitraging the overhead of switching. The game is not to balance quality and dissatisfaction. It’s to balance quality against dissatisfaction + cost of doing something about it. If you just make the switching cost really re

If the playlist is something like a CUE file then yes, certainly. CUETools/XLD/foobar2000 can split by cue file. And Picard can do audio fingerprints to match tracks and get metadata for them.

Developing a fingerprinting method for identifying music masterings! Like Shazam but to tell what version of an album you have. The idea being able to compare measurements to see what mastering you're really getting - because they are

Neat! The idea is that _all_ output embeddings must lie on a given ellipse. (On a hypersphere due to layernorm, distorted to an ellipse by the final linear layer). Since the ellipse is given by the parameters of the model, it is characteris

This study manages to find that drinking exponentially more per week is probably bad for you. I think that falls under 'no shit'. The main aim seems to be to refute previous "U-shaped" and "J-shaped" studies th

Yeah, but it’s ’quantization aware’ during training too, which presumably is what allows the quantization at inference to work

Ha, Pandas just to parse a website is a bit extra, I’d say. But yeah, it’s weird that you need libraries and api endpoints to do basic tasks these days. It feels like something broke around 2015-ish. Going back, you could make a whole app a

I think a lot of it is things have shifted away from the raw language. Less and less you’re dealing with Python, and more an assortment of libraries or frameworks. Pandas, numpy, torch, fastapi, …, and a dozen others. Packaging has been a n

Essentially, when you buy in bulk you trade upfront commitment for a discounted price. Which isn’t a good deal unless you’re confident you’re going to use all the units/seats you bought. This is the same logic as over buying at the gro

You can even still mail a brick! As long as it’s addressed. Apparently other things too including flip flops, inflated beach balls, and potatoes. They do call out that you can no longer mail enough to build a building haha. https:/&#x

Seems to be a trend away from mean-pooling into a single embedding. But instead of dealing with an embedding per token (lots) you still want to reduce it some. This method seems to cluster token embeddings by random partitioning, mean pool

Got it, makes sense! For the deformation, I mean would there be enough information to determine how a mesh of the eFlesh would be deformed, to cause the observed magnetic readings

Wow this looks really great! Looks very cheap and accessible. Is there any minimum material thickness, beyond the height of the board plus magnets? I’m also curious - can the modeling estimate the deformation of the eFlesh or does it just d
