It's always nice to see products that cater to the best users can be instead of the worst. Personally, AI for writing is in the same corner as the other pathologies you've listed (popularity counts etc), so it's not for me. B

The latest 2.7 seems to have a lot of CVEs (did not verify that manually though) https://www.cvedetails.com/version-list/10210/18230/10/Pytho... IIRC some commercial distros maintain patches for 2.7 but

I'm with you regarding the argument, but want to nitpick: "dismissing" a politician sounds like an easy fix but we probably don't want hyper-polarized dismissal wars where politicians are "shot down" immediatel

Thanks for the context! To me this was the most informative comment in the thread because it offers some effect size comparison.

Ok here is the crucial part of the paper: It's a difference in differences design, using individual-level test scores and de-seasonalized data (p. 13). Their wording is: > Y_igst is the outcome of interest for student i in grade g i

You have to admit that it's quite clever how they approximate phone use: > Our identification strategy relies upon our ability to calculate school-specific measures of smartphone activity that we can attribute to students, rather t

To be fair, all those details are in the paper. And a 1-2 percent increase does not seem low to me for such a measure.

Sure, most of us stay in system 1 (heuristic) most of the time. But I think it's wrong to assume most people are incapable of serious, thorough thinking. Parents around the world correctly dose medication for their kids all the time, a

Paracetamol is the most common cause of liver failure in the US. Its toxicity threshold is somewhere around 4g/day for an adult. I remember that my wife once bought an over the counter cold drug in Italy that had > 1g per pill. So w

Reading this I could not help but think of compliance and treatment safety for self-managed dosing. It's evident, for example, that drugs such as Paracetamol (Tylenol for you Americans) should be dosed by body weight in children. To ma

OTOH, posit funds a lot of development of important packages in the tidyverse and does a lot of community work etc. So if maintaining RStudio is so much of a burden that it impedes the rest of their work, I don't think it's a bad

Short answer: no Tape is really complicated and physically challenging, and there are no incentives for people investing insane amounts of time for something that has almost no fan base. See the blog post about why you don’t want tape from

You're right, it seems both the UI and the old about:profiles page do use the same underlying implementation, but the UI does not pick up any profiles added through the about: page. If you create a new profile from the UI, that will sh

Profiles have always been great, but it's kind of unfortunate that this feature seems to be locked behind a sign-in (the link in the article describes the UI as being in the profile menu). I mean, I've been using about:profiles fo

I'm not sure everyone got my hint that the proposal is obviously very bad, (1) because ivy league also produces a lot of work that's not so great (i.e. wrong (looking at you, Ariely) or un-ambitious) and (2) because from time to t

If your goal is exclusively reducing strain of overloaded editors, then that's just a side effect that you might tolerate :)

You will effectively want a 48GB card or more for quantized versions, otherwise you won't have meaningful space left for the KV cache. Blackwell and above is generally a good idea to get faster hardware support for 4b (some recent mode

It is immensely frustrating to me that to this day, after a solid century of advances in sciences and mathematical literacy, we are still implicitly stuck in the mental model of averages. Reality is fucking far away from averages and we kno

An interesting read. This kind of problem is exactly what statistics is designed to do, and it makes me a bit sad that we are left with a bit of a shoulder shrug. It's absolutely possible to do a much better job at disentangling possib

If you look at the concrete laws, they are less spectacular. For example, the concept of privacy protecting against media coverage is actually weaker for politicians (when in official duty) than for ordinary citizens (Allgemeines Persönlich

Nitpick: 1. Censorship in German constitutional law is only defined as the state pre-screening before publication. That's a very narrow area and rarely applies. Most people from an US legal tradition will consider censorship to include

There are many more weird and complex architectures in models for video understanding. For example, beyond video->text->llm and video->embedding in llm, you can also have an llm controlling/guiding a separate video extractor.

For what it's worth, I have an i9-13900K paired with the largest air cooler available at the time (a be quiet! Dark Rock 5 IIRC), and it's incapable of sufficiently cooling that CPU. The 13900k draws more than 200W initially and t
