You're agreeing with the person you responded to (bdcravens). Burying the lede means that bdcravens thinks the true headline should have been about being put on a terrorist watch list for protesting a police training camp, not about th

No, balanced ternary, for example, uses {-1, 0, 1}. The system you're discussing is balanced quinary (base 5). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed-digit_representation

I read the comment you're replying to as saying, "in the US, but other countries may have different policies that result in lower recidivism, and that might change the conclusion; maybe people aren't inherently criminally ins

I've not written up anything, no. I think I'd have a hard time doing so without just feeling like I'm bragging about myself, which I don't like. There's still a definite gap between me and native speakers, that show

> Most Germans won't be able to pass a C2 test That's not true, but it is a commonly shared myth. I've taken and passed C2 with the highest mark in every category (I moved here when I was a young teen, wanted to know if I

No, quantization is applied to model weights or the KV cache (the model activations of all past tokens), and is just storing everything with lower precision (carefully, so that it doesn't hurt performance much). Sending an image of tex

Deep seek OCR is an LLM, just one trained/post-trained specifically for OCR. Exact details of text to image compression ratios are of course extremely dependent on the model architecture, training data, training objectives, etc., so

Are you writing general use programs in it, then? Have any good examples?

A future system that works like you described would be awesome. It'd be like community-sourced peer review (although by community I mean a community of experts in different fields, not arbitrary individuals). I'd love a statistici

The problem is that what people care about are the "black swan" causes of death, i.e., the cases the actuarial table is wrong.

Prices for training have dropped immensely in terms of research required, code efficiency, algorithmic/sample efficiency, and possibly also hardware (I'm not qualified to say without looking it FLOPS/dollar, or even to be cer

There's a large gap between making up words and an actually native text distribution. LLMs have a clear pattern, clear tells, a "feel" in English, and it's normally even more pronounced in non-English languages. Lots of

One context I could imagine is a young person with shaky grasp of English trying to come up with an interesting school/university project via conversations with an LLM set up as an OpenClaw agent. It's got the right combinations o

especially because this is the most painfully glaring flaw in their plan. Their solution is for an inference provider to... store the KV cache (which they can compute!) on-premise, on their own disks, but pay some third party for it?

I've had it happen. I ran an experiment, taking a couple hours and producing ~2 GiB of files. One of the results looked good, so I told Claude Opus 4.5 (at the time) to commit the code changes, upload the important file to cloud storag

To be fair, it is good to know that it disobeys simple instructions like "don't examine my git history" far more than other models. (It should of course be a different benchmark, so as not to conflate things.) It's not a

I would just warn that you may not be able to recognize what is worth learning at your stage. Intuition for library design and the architecture of software packages/external APIs is something you can only learn by doing.

I have DSPD as well, and was pleasantly surprised to see how much of the article discussed DSPD. That being said, I do think a lot of what the author is saying flies right in the face of traditional advice, esp. the suggestion that we shoul

No, that's what the headline implies, and the body of the article doesn't support at all. It's (currently, and with no indication of intent to change this) two separate branches of their business.

and if I was to guess, the latest generation of models (Claude Opus 4.6, GPT-5.3-codex, etc.) differ from Opus 4.5, GPT 5.2 primarily in the addition of deeper, more difficult (most likely agentic and coding-based, like Terminal Bench) task
