I often wonder what it's like to put words into other people's mouths.

They are required by law in no small part because car manufacturers want it to be. Compliance is a moat.

I think it's just a matter of style. It comes across as pretentious.

What in Rube Goldberg is this setup?

My lights are like this, I have a remote placed on top of each traditional switch. I never use the remotes, because most of it is automatic (e.g., dim lights for movies, turn off lights when we leave, turn on lights when we come home). Actu

The departure times dominate latency and throughput in metros. The gates are not the bottleneck.

I could use my European smartphone (well, smartwatch) as an IC card in Japan. I don't think it was slower.

There is, and what's worse, it assumes a global lock will keep things synchronized.

It is guaranteed that the models will become salespeople in disguise with time. This is just how the world works. Hopefully competition can stave it off but I doubt it. It's also why totalitarian regimes love it, they can simply train

Are there any samplers that aren't basically greedy? I.e. actually searches the tree. I realize it's an absolutely insane branching factor and quite expensive to expand nodes at that, but it always seemed odd to me that we don&#x2

I don't know about lawyering, but with engineering research, I can now ask ChatGPT's Deep Research to do a literature review on any topic. This used to take time and effort.

If you can check it easily, so can they. Also I have no idea what my front door color is.

I get "premium 1080p" most of the time, but yeah not being able to set it directly is annoying.

I think Kagi being nice is not a valid argument for accepting lots of low-cost subscriptions in your life.

It's a sandwich _subscription_. If you keep thinking like that, it's death by a thousand cuts.

Now allow it to do BFS or DFS, suddenly you're not far from just a vanilla BFS or DFS if you have a sensible stack/queue API.

HN is a kind of this thing. It's netiquette. We still stay around here because it's the only place with tech discussions and at least some amount of decorum.

The representation of pixels on the screen is not necessarily normative for the definition of the pixel. Indeed, since different display devices use different representations as you point out, it can't really be. You have to look at th

This is one of my favorite articles. Although I think you can define for yourself what your pixels are, for most it is a point sample.

You shouldn’t link directly to the pdf, here is the abs page https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.04511

So should f strings now go away? They are just a special case of t strings. Also, don’t get me started on g strings.

Isn’t this kind of thing sort of the default thing in Lisp? Code is data so you can transform it.

It’s still 100% LaTeX in my fields (AI, ML, robotics, telecom).

An interesting idea for sure, but why only evaluate it on 28x28 pixel images? Why is their flow matching so much worse in some cases? Missing some analysis. Their words on it say nothing: > For CIFAR-100 with one-hot embeddings, NoProp-F

Isn’t that basically just Copilot but way more cumbersome to use?

You don't have to repeat 4 billion years of evolution, an RL agent lives inside a strange universe where the basic axioms happen to be exactly aligned with what you can do in that universe. Its actions are not muscular, they are litera

Like all things RL, it is 99.9% about engineering the environment and rewards. As one of the authors stated elsewhere here, there is a reward for completing each of 12 steps necessary to find diamonds. Mostly I'm tired of RL work being
