For queries in my field (materials science), chatGPT actually seems pretty good about citing real sources, often one of the canonical sources for the topic An acquaintance who works in the NLP space says this is done in post processing, whe

Generally agreed, writing should be a tool that supports clear thinking, and a giant mess of unreadable markup is not amenable for thinking. I’m still reading through this post, but it seems to have some great advice for making that situat

What’s your point exactly? I’m on the US East Coast and it’s rather unseasonably warm this week here as well, after a week of lower than usual temperatures for the end of December.

According to the landlord Twitter is supposed to have been “in default” on their lease as of Dec 21. It’s like the second sentence of the Bloomberg article we’re commenting on, before the subscription fold.

Do you mean 1871? Wiki says 1871-1918 German Empire and that the first sort of shadow government from this group was founded in 1985

I’m guessing the group is more familiar to Germans (I’m in the US) but I find wiki helpful. It’s not a monolithic movement but they basically want to go back to the German Reich circa 1918, and they have some kind of provisional government

These were installed in grad student offices, and as far as I can tell not in classroom spaces It’s equivalent to your employer installing monitoring devices in your assigned desk and saying “trust us, we’ll anonymize the data”. And the adm

We can use molecular dynamics to model how proteins fold and interact with different molecules and solvents. It’s very computationally expensive so it doesn’t scale to these huge datasets, but it’s not like we have no tools at all for under

Florida actually has pretty high building code standards for new construction. I think a lot of the issue is from older housing stock, especially from before like Hurricane Andrew in the early 90s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/

It’s nice and flexible to work with, and for large models all the heavy lifting is calling out to CUDA and C++. often the overhead of the python interpreter is completely negligible

Ångström is currently approved by NIST for use with the SI, so I don’t think it’s quite in the same category as mmHg and hogs heads and pound force. I agree pm is a better choice than mÅ, but I’m not positive mÅ wouldn’t pass NIST internal

Many journals (including a lot of the nature ones) are requiring data and code on publication now Part of the problem is that as far as I can tell it’s on the reviewers to flag noncompliance, and a lot of times groups won’t actually publish

Cool, that does seem like plenty of overhead even if JWST spends the bulk of its time imaging. Reading the article further, I was sort of surprised there’s only 68 GB of solid state storage on board. Does anyone know if that’s considered ve

I don’t think your assertion about locality of gun crime and gun laws in the US is consistent with the data. (Not trying to make an assertion as to whether such laws are effective here) Sort state level data by gun murder rate, it’s not so
