No, it's common knowledge most publications on crypto in general are scams, and Vitalik has always been critical about money grabbing schemes. Vitalik's project Ethereum has been hurt a lot by "shit coins" (alternative c

Well I'm not German so I can't really speak about what the AfD is about, and I'm sure there's a lot of actual Nazis voting for them. What is a topic however that is taboo because of association with Nazis is the influx o

I guess for some people it's easy to become a duck. As someone with a passionate hatred for ducks, I want it to be said there has to be compassion for those who are tempted to become ducks in an effort to protect their environment. If

I fully agree, although it's a great way to quickly lose your billionaire status. Only the greatest of billionaires could afford to build an underground railway system for a city and still have money left to build some apartment buildi

Even though it's not supposed to be my day job, I've ran `df |grep -v <super long list` hundreds of times in the past year, yet it never occurred to me that I could try and find a better tool.

Oh yeah, I think that's just a convenience thing. New versions of base probably use new features of GHC, so you'd end up with a backwards compatibility matrix. People would get angry either way, and I guess it's more convenie

> I still don't understand why this is necessary. Why must code compiled with GHC 9.6 use base version 4.18.0.0? Why should the binary that is GHC care about which version of the Data.List module the code that it compiles uses? Beca

Exactly, it's a smooth trade off curve from lambda calculus all the way to Haskell with 30 language extensions enabled. You could learn lambda calculus in an afternoon, but then spend a month writing a single complex algorithm. You cou

You are confusing shortening with simplifying. The `if let` syntax is an unnecessary addition to the language so it is by definition an added complexity. Of course the resulting code is much easier to read and I definitely agree that it&#x2

Nice thanks, that's a really cool graph. It is very promising and I like how windmill farms can probably be constructed to be a little bit more resistant to sabotage than nuclear power plants are, should it ever come to that level of s

Such a success story that France didn't buy oil/gas from abroad to generate electricity worth 120B euro a year for 40 years in a row. Who cares about the financial management vehicle of the operation is 65B short at the end of tho

Are we reading the same paper? In the graph I'm looking at the axis where the model underperforms the doctor is labeled "No inaccurate/irrelevant information", which has nothing to do with making the correct diagnostic.

Because it's a ridiculous comment. France has been relying on nuclear power for a huge chunk of their national energy use for over 50 years. France is nuclear power greatest success story. The amount years of improved air quality, the

The author picks an example of an aspect where Med-Palm2 is impressive, and then your counter argument is to find another cherry picked example where the performance is not satisfactory. Great discourse.. There is nothing disingenuous about

Complete layman here. When you say excitation, it means that it absorbed some impulse of (electrical?) energy right? Where does the energy go after the excitation is released if the excitation is electrically neutral and doesn't emit p

Well not recently, but isn't Kurzweil all about a hypothetical future superhuman intelligence? That's an interesting thought experiment but that's not what the current AI hype is about. LLM's by themselves are many thing

You're starting to sound a little like Terry yourself towards the end there. How do you see a religion in enthusiasm around AI, and worse nothing else at all? I think you're stretching the word religion very far from its meaning.

So the core standard is called NEN1010 and it costs money to get it. The way I got it is they had just built an app for reading the standards and they were offering a trial of the app. So I got the trial, dumped the entire NEN1010 and some

If I'm not mistaken about a year after I installed the gas heater it became illegal to install your gas heater, so they weren't completely wrong.

People in the comments here are falling for the attention grabbing headline. The amount of yearly venture deals is in the thousands if not tens of thousands. That only 108 of them file for bankruptcy in any given year, means that the bankru

How do you figure? In the ICL article one of their examples ("How to Engineer Prompts for In-Context Learning") literally describes RAG. And neither of the articles even mentions the other.

No.. this information is for software engineers applying LLM's in their applications. I'm working on an LLM based system, and I'm just soloing a startup with no academic background and it's certainly no research project.
