Compression and error correction also go hand in hand: in compressed data every bit carries more information and therefore errors are more detrimental. This is one of the results that Shannon phrased exactly in terms of entropy. My PhD supe

Yes something like that (around 50€)

I understand it’s cool to have an artistic website, but it’s very noisy and non-accessible. But very interesting result.

> And I think the data center buildout will end in carnage. Isn’t it more likely that they will still all be used to the max? I don’t see how at any rate we will be going “alright, that’s enough intelligence for now”

About a decade ago I bought a metal mechanical pencil (rotring 800, 0.5mm). Best pencil I’ve ever owned. It will last so long I’ll leave it to my children.

It’s not that wild: governments are made of self-serving people, and money from the industry finds its way into their pockets.

It depends what you mean by “learn”. To have a superficial idea of the high level concepts of a step-by-step process, sure, a 3d visualization like the ones this author makes can work. But it stops there.

I acknowledge (and agree) with the sentiments against slop. But should we also entertain the possibility that AI content might become more engaging and entertaining than human content? To me this is far scarier and concerning than a flood o

You are correct, but this is a made up example, not a practical matter. You’re falling into the same trap as the author.

Ironically, some users took the “all” in my first post too literally. It should have read “for most practical purposes”

Sure, but that’s not what we are talking about

A direction that is 99.99% accurate survives this argument completely. For all practical purposes one does not need totality.

When talking about costs we should remember who is paying. Maybe overall the cost of the government getting that data is higher than the cost of them getting mad at you, but when a single individual is paying for all of it the equation migh

I pointed Claude to this blog post and asked it to update the CLAUDE.md file accordingly. Worked a charm!

These are issues of civility, not politics.

The problem will keep persisting as long as the politicians who have the power to change the rules of the game have the opposite incentive to do so.

I think it’s more accurate to say that the mechanism that grows a brain had millions of years to develop.

Nice! A few years ago during my PhD I had made a Mathematica notebook that would take two images, crop them to the same size, apply a high-pass filter to one (which keeps the small sharp details) and a low-pass filter to the other (which ke

I don’t disagree, but there is a vast difference between a wanted and an unwanted child. This is well studied and well understood. See freakonomics episode 394.

Your answer makes no sense either

The battery example makes no sense: capacity_SOH ≈ 0.913 − 0.352 · tanh( cycle^((temperature/cycle)^0.485) ) I understand this fits the data, but exponents should be dimensionless, what is temperature/cycle?

In my 20s I tried with two other friends to raise some money from local businesses to sponsor a coast to coast trip in the US on our vespas (I had 1968 150 Sprint Veloce in red). It didn’t work out, but now that I’m in my 40s I understand i

I'll buy a robot that can put fitted sheets and fold every piece of laundry no matter how contorted/inside-out it is. Till then, they're just gimmicks. Also, it should have legs.

Also, would those 550k Blackwell have good FP64 performance? How would one even compare them?
