That’s a weird rant which is manifestly false. On Nix the benefit you get from the incompatibility is the system can roll forward and back while it’s running so you can do big changes (eg updating or rolling back) the entire system without

It doesn’t change if you apply it to complex arguments does it? Zeta(z) = 1 + 1/2^z + 1/3^z + … Where z in C. In fact, I thought that was why it’s called the Riemann zeta function. Euler applied it to an integer whereas Riemann ap

This line of thinking doesn’t really go anywhere. You can say “but what if <something outside of an axiomatic system>? Then <axiomatic system> doesn’t apply!” Well great. Then where are you? You are precisely nowhere. You haven’

That just means lots of people are writing calls[1] [1] ie are happy to be synthetically short the stock and see a demand for the calls

That is true for the stocks but not options. Anyone with a brokerage account can write some calls and if they get exercised it’s up to them to find the stock to buy. Most pricing models assume the liquidity is always available but that’s no

Trademark law isn't about what "everyone already knows". It's about whether a given mark meets the criteria for legal protection in a give context. So if say an foss ML project described what they do as "open AI&qu

Exactly. And you can always create a non-priv user and do the llm stuff using that user.

I would if necessary but then again I’m not the one claiming it can’t be done am I? All the examples you gave would require just one llm group and one directory readable and writeable by the user and the llm group (and possibly making the d

It has always been very easy to create separate users on Linux and certainly for tasks where you need to switch between contexts. Linux is a unix, so has always been multi-user and sharing any data between processes is facilitated in all ma

Courts already do lawfully regulate the “presentation of speech” as you’re calling it. Say facebook was to present each post surrounded by pornography for example. That’s clearly a “presentation of speech” in your framing. However courts ha

With the default arguments in the 1990s strip wouldn’t strip “linking information” it would just strip debugging symbols. You wouldn’t have been able to debug a core dump say but dynamically linked binaries would have been totally fine.

Hence the “something like”. There are a few of these sorts of things. I’m not really in the market for them so I don’t try to keep up.

There is an accounting explanation for this (boring as it sounds). Stock analysts (who don’t want to use their brains too much) often use “EBITDA” (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) to compare companies. The rea

My most recent fun fact about chemistry is that the shape of the periodic table is as a result of the symmetry group of a sphere. This was part of this great talk https://www.youtube.com/live/btlQl93qOhc?is=7v7GQ92ozW_

This is a guy who famously said “Maybe it costs a life by exposing someone to bullies. Maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools. And still we connect people.“[1] I don’t think self-awareness is really his thing. [1]

I like the “everything is a distribution” approach a lot[1]. Looks great. I’m looking forward to actually having a chance to mess around with it. [1] And feels philosophically like the unification in the underlying maths between discrete

Does it still count as a Dirac delta when it’s a discrete distribution? (The distributions in TFA are not continuous - they are things like a roll of 1d6 etc)

Backing a question about definition up with the actual source of the definition isn’t “dumb gatekeeping”. You feel that there is a right way to do RAG and you’ve written a framework that does it that way. That’s great. I’m not the one who’

Don't blame me, blame the people who invented the concept and wrote the original RAG paper. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.11401

Yes you are wrong. RAG means retrieval-augmented generation. If you’re generating something and that generation is augmented by some retrieval you’re doing RAG. The retrieval doesn’t need to be from a vector db or even based on semantic sim
