   I love how easy AI makes it to hack devices that otherwise wouldn't be worth the time.

   Really good job! Do you have more of these writeups?

   Thanks, I was looking through the article for exactly that. Does it lock on to a configuration of stars? Really curious how they did this mechanically.

   I can see valid uses of this but I also feel like a probabilistic calculator would be more useful. e.g. the result for the 1 / [-1, 2] example doesn’t tell you how likely each value is and it clearly won’t be uniformly distributed (ass

   DFlash immediately came to my mind. There are several Mac implementations of it that show > 2x faster Qwen3.5 already.

   Looks great but even $40 for a perpetual license with only two years of updates still seems excessive. Taskbar, Uber, etc. cost less and have unlimited updates. How is this better?

   Here's my (hopefully) intuitive guide: 1. understand weighted least squares and how you can update an initial estimate (prior mean and variance) with a new measurement and its uncertainty (i.e. inverse variance weighted least squares)

    Skimmed this but don't have an intuitive understanding of why this works and how temperature and truncation factor in.

    I was expecting something about the morphological erosion operator but this was pretty cool. Some of the techniques here seem to be motivated by physical processes (e.g. rain). I wonder if that could be taken further to derive the whole pro

    Criticize gatekeeping all you want, but I feel it’s safer to recommend a Mac or iPhone to an older, non-technical person than the equivalent Windows / Android machine. And I’m still able to install any app I want with minimal fuss.

    Why no need to make it the default? I’m all for rethinking legacy decisions. It helps 99% of the user base and the security risk seems negligible.

    Can anyone explain why Mamba models start with a continuous time SSM (and discretize) vs discrete time? I know the step isn’t fixed, also not sure why that’s important. Is that the only reason? There also seems to be a parameterization adva

    Great idea and seems quite obvious in hindsight. Is it guaranteed to have the same effect on vanishing gradients though? What if it put weight 1 on a layer that had a tiny gradient?

    MLX support on Macs was the main reason for me.

    Async embedded is something that's always made sense to me and I've been awaiting a long time for it to happen. But what's the overhead price with Embassy?

    I know what you mean, but the issue the parent comment brought up is real and "bad" chats can contaminate future ones. Before switching off memories, I found I had to censor myself in case I messed up the system memory. I've

    Disable memories so each chat is independent. If you want chats to shared info, then use a project.

    In one case it was a urinary flow test (uroflowmetry). The results go to a lab and then the doctor gets the summary. Was able to diagnose the issue, prevalence, etc. and educate myself about treatment and risks before seeing a doctor. Paper

    If they pepper it with warnings and add safe guards, then I'm fine. I think they can design it to minimize misinformation or at least blind trust.

    I’ve had mixed experiences with doctors. Often times they’re glancing at my chart for two minutes before an appointment and that’s the extent of their concern for me. I’ve also lived in places where I don’t have a choice in doctor.

    I understand enough about these systems to know they’re not perfect but I agree some people might be misled. But I don’t know if I should be denied access because of those people.

    Yes, if it will help me and others. Again, I understand those who disagree.

    I’d rather have all my health data be used in a way that can actually help me, even with a risk of a breach or misuse, than having it in a folder somewhere doing nothing.

    I personally don’t care who has access to my health data, but I understand those who might. Either way, I’m excited for some actual innovation in the personal health field. Apple Health is more about aggregating data than actually producing

    Is there a mainstream distro that disregards all the legacy cruft? Gobo, but that’s not really mainstream. Mac OS?

    Last time I look into SoTA Bayesian deep learning, Bayesian output layers seems the most promising and practical. Is that still the case?

    I’m sure you can point Claude at that page and have it make the necessary changes to pass.
