I think any line is necessarily going to be arbitrary, a blanket ban on any ML model being used in production would be plainly impossible -- using Ozone's EQ assistant or having a Markov chain generate your chord progressions could als

The PineTime [1] is the cheapest programmable option I'm aware of - it does need Gadgetbridge on Android, and the heartrate sensor didn't quite work for me, but otherwise it might be worth a look? [1] https://pine64.org

The case you might be thinking of is the JBIG2 implementation bug [1, 2] in Xerox photocopiers where the pattern-matching would incorrectly treat certain characters as interchangeable, leading to numbers getting rewritten in spreadsheets.

Oh nice, thank you :) Admittedly a little tempting to see how the 5070 Ti Super shakes out!

Are there any 24GB cards/3090s which fit in ~300mm without an angle grinder?

by strangecasts 1y ago
A small part of me is considering going from a 4070 to a 16GB 5060 Ti just to avoid having to futz with offloading I'd go for an ..80 card but I can't find any that fit in a mini-ITX case :(

Video game opponents are absolutely AI in the "good old fashioned AI" (GOFAI) sense - they have very clearly defined objectives and action spaces, and algorithms like A* pathfinding [1] and Goal Oriented Action Planning [2] which

I didn't mean to suggest otherwise! That's why I also linked the CryptoNets paper - to show that you're transforming the inference to happen inside an FHE context, not trying to learn encrypted data

There are FHE schemes which effectively allow putting together arbitrary logical circuits, so you can make larger algorithms FHE by turning them into FHE circuits -- Jeremy Kun's 2024 overview [1] has a good summary [1] https:/&#

Good encryption schemes are designed so that ciphertexts are effectively indistinguishable from random data -- you should not be able to see any pattern in the encrypted text without knowledge of the key and the algorithm. If your encrypt

It's designed for 2D but there are libraries which add 3D rendering, e.g. Menori ( https://github.com/rozenmad/Menori ) and G3D ( https://github.com/groverburger/g3d ) Alternatively, the LÖVR fra

Cool! Going with a 3D-printed bracket to hold individually wired buttons instead of a separate input board is neat - it does mean the GPIO pins constrain how many inputs you can have, but the nice thing about keeping the USB ports is you ca

Huh, I didn't know SSB let you do combined first/last name searches, I assumed it would only let you search the names individually (Is Tromsø where they keep all the spare Mads Mikkelsens??)

It would be quite a feat for the local paper [1] to interview him without realizing his name was fake! Mads and Mikkelsen are both common Norwegian names (SSB has >4000 Mads and Mikkelsens individually), and unless his parents were big R

As an aside, a few early 90s games did experiment with spheroid sprites to approximate 3D rendering, including the DOS game Ecstatica [1] and the (unfortunately named) SNES/Genesis game Ballz 3D [2] [1] https://www.youtube.c

Obviously I can only speculate since I neither have access to their dataset nor interest in paying for API access, but crawling and dataset cleaning have gotten much better since the GPT-2 days, especially after Microsoft's PHI model
