Never understood the light switch and outlet cover paint-over, because those are easily removable. They complicate surface geometry such that you save little to no time by painting over them, in the present, yet increase fire hazard and ensure every related service request is more expensive and guaranteed to damage the wall, in the future.

I remember when I started encountering somewhat younger adults verbally spell out chat acronyms like “lmao” and “rofl.” I thought it was hilarious, but eventually realized there had been a social shift. Interactions had become online-first, and for some younger people that was basically all of it, and I wasn’t sure how I felt about that.

Pretty common. Experimentally, it seems the implicit formula many use for IM is something like

Fewer than K words + a period = probability P(deliberately curt) = 50%, where K is at least 5, and P increases logarithmically as K approaches 1.

Which is how, to someone using this formula internally, “Great.” can denote exasperation, “Thanks.” can imply strained manners, and so forth 🤷

Because ‘judgement’ is an inherently grounded ability, something LLMs cannot exercise, fundamentally, only mimic or approximate with heuristics. Sorry but obvious is obvious.

You are an incredibly patient and polite person. I doubt I’d make it past the first failed attempt. If he kept up with the patriots after that I’d suggest we “discuss it some other time,” or even walk to a nearby section with “brb.” Either way, I’d never make it to 45 minutes and multiple failures with my blood pressure intact.

Ah just like me babushka used to make

What a charming fellow

Uh oh found the biomed PI ;) +1

Something tells me this alcoholic rage muffin hasn’t published anything but abuse lately

That quantum computing is not superior to classical computing except WRT specific problems for which quantum effects can be leveraged. And currently there are no quantum advantage algorithms known or proposed for ML-related computational tasks (though there are ML methods applied to quantum optimization). To put it in perspective, the computer in your pocket is thousands of times more capable WRT inference than the best quantum computer on the planet, and we don’t expect that to change, because quantum computing isn’t meant to replace classical (“legacy”) computing, but rather to augment it.

Arguably those sections are exactly where LLM use would be least problematic; i.e., summaries, future work, etc. Those sections are also where language proficiency tends to have the most outsized effect, where LLMs might be used to achieve a degree of clarity and brevity that’s otherwise out of reach. The fact that there was less evidence of use in methods and results would be a good sign WRT usage trends, I would think.

I use LTO4 tapes.

• Bare LC drive eBay $~60. Pulled from a library so I had to switch the operation mode. Missing the bay door and kinda dinged up but worked.
• Celerity FC81en HBA card was $~30.
• 1.6TB tapes sold in packs of 5 around $11/tape. Probably can do better than that at higher volume.

Overall take: slow noisy writes but viable for cheap stable long-term storage.

Note: for each of the components above I set price alerts and waited. If in a hurry, maybe skip tape storage lol

He never uses /s and I’ve seen him eat way more downvotes than this. But yes, he’s playing on a Robert A Heinlein quote.

Good riddance. Let’s get some progressives in there.

Honestly this is why I stopped teasing shutterbugs and selfie takers. Just realizing that (a) not all selfies are necessarily destined for social media, and (b) the regrettable alternative might be no pictures of friends with you in them, or even no pictures of those you care about, for long stretches of life that memory tends to eventually consolidate.

The shutterbug in the friend group might be the one reason you remember so well the time you spent with them many years later.

Maybe BS, but I’d wager only partly true, because the kind of sensors needed for basic local environment awareness aren’t “cameras” in the usual sense even if the have an array of photoreceptors like a camera uses. It might be better described as a higher resolution version of the IR light detectors currently used.

Regardless, given a few undeniable technical realities, like ridiculously tiny batteries and the bandwidth requirements of video vs available BT throughput, there is 0% chance of these earbuds becoming pervglasses-like surveillance wear.

Reactionaries and sourgrapists don’t give a rats ass about truth, however, so prepare for sensationalist headlines no matter what.

I’m going to assume you mean the ballista-like Roman siege engine not the whitefox defense aerial detection system

Oh then it’s 5. Sorry for dumb question.

Is the source GTA? Not sure why just reminds me of it.
