I think the mathematical background starts making sense once you get a good understanding of the topic, and then people make the wrong assumption that understanding the math will help learning the overall topic, but it that's usually pretty hard.

Rather than trying to form an ituition based on the theory, it's often easier to understand the technicalities after getting an intuition. This is generally true in exact sciences, especially mathematics. That's why examples are helpful.
I've done something similar.

You're essentially doing A/B comparisons across the entire set.

It looks like you have it so you're basically setting where "B" is before moving on to the next item.

This isn't strictly necessary. You could just generate a novel pair every time and ask the user to choose between them. The thing is that you'd need a way to track a user. So you can make sure that user hasn't seen a certain pair already.

Once you've exhausted all the pairs, you'll know exactly how to sort the array. You'll have an idea before.

You might have an issue with circular lists though. People are fickle. You could have someone who says that A > B > C > A.

In this case, I'd allow for repeat pairings after a certain amount of time. To allow the person to reevaluate essentially.

You could also take the comparisons across all users and compile a general sort of "best of" ranking.

The most obvious problem to my ears is the syllable timing and inflection of the generated speech, and, intuitively, this doesn’t seem like a recording quality issue. It’s as if it did a mostly credible job of emulating the speaker trying to talk like a robot.
I can logically understand why this is a good thing. I enjoy running and biking myself. I often walk to places instead of drive during the rare times it’s a viable option.

Despite that understanding, I still don’t like it. It’s so incredibly frustrating going 20 or 25mph on a road where most drivers could easily safely drive over double that.

I also often see sections of road with speed limits well below what the road can handle, where EVERYONE is speeding, cops included. This is also frustrating because you’re still paranoid about getting a ticket just for going with the flow of traffic.
I only skimmed but I get the impression that sort of thing is common in the text.

I think it's got the problem that deep learning "isn't really math" - in the sense that deep learning using indeed very elaborate computational structures that can be specified mathematically but it doesn't prove theorems about them - not theorems that characterize what's happening. The theorems are just hints about what might be happening.

The key deep learning knowledge is in papers that basically only show that X approach works best on Y (plus maybe some suggestive theorem) - for example Attention Is All You Need.

A GPT I'd like to see is one that can talk to ImportYeti.com and look up the actual suppliers and manufacturers of the products in Asia, then link to their Alibaba, and translate any Chinese...

During the pandemic, there was the bicycle shortage in the supply chain. I was looking at all the bike frame manufacturers, then you can see their top suppliers, and floow the number of shipments (water based bills of lading, not air) and see where all their products are going etc...

Its also cool to look at the shipments certain companies are getting from suppliers in China, you can make some inferences to the health of their sales. (during pandemic, TREK was getting most of the Bike frames at the time

> And following up on that, do you honestly believe that the students at harvard want all jewish people all over the world to be murdered?

"We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence."

For the people who view Oct 7 as justified, yes

> Isn't it more likely that the students in question want the israelis to stop committing acts of violence against palestinians

They can want both at the same time. October 7th was an act of terror against Jewish civilians. The people who blame the Israeli government 100% (including aforementioned student organizations) don't find fault with the people committing those murders. That implies that they see the murder of Jewish people as justified punishment for the actions of the Israeli government. The choice of words is deliberate

Criticizing the Israeli government and publicly stating that an act of terror is justified are two very different things, of which Harvard students know the difference

Along with the good suggestions by the other replies, let's also take into account actual DMCA takedown activity, and make sure we are not optimizing for an edge case. I would guess that "rich company spamming bogus notices" is far and away the most frequent case, followed maybe by "rich company filing legitimate notices" followed in the far distance by "small fry filing a legitimate notice." There are probably multiple orders of magnitude more bogus notices from companies than legit ones from small fries.

The DMCA is a weapon that mainly large, rich companies use to beat up mainly small, relatively powerless end-users. That's what needs to be corrected.

I'd also argue that a large portion of the US legal system is set up to facilitate this "big&rich beating up on small&poor" behavior, but that's a topic for a different day.

This article completely ignores how technology becomes decentralized and open-sourced. There's already a massive community dedicated to creating and sharing LLMs, and that's not going to stop if OpenAI is forced to shut down ChatGPT because of copyright laws. FWIW, shutting down Napster didn't stop music torrenting at all. What really stopped widespread torrenting was easy to use streaming services, which the music industry was forced to adapt to.

I don‘t think that is what was asked for. The question is really what about the combining unit itself? And in my opinion the answer is perhaps that this unit is very simple and failure would be comparable to physical failure of the output wire or device being controlled.

> Open Source has become synonymous with GitHub, and we are too small to change that.

It's kind of sad that this is true.

I'm guilty myself, I contribute to projects on GitHub more often than on any other platform.

And when I search for open source projects the first page I use is GitHub.
I've come to the conclusion that I need to loosen my grip. So basically, as long as I can export my data in an open-enough format, I will use anything I'm comfortable with and then I won't worry much about organizing my data. The two main reasons are:

- Most notes are ephemeral anyway. The other day, I found a box of folders from my 20s (a long time ago), and it was just a dusty "curiosity box". We change, and the world changes.

- LLMs are already at the level where you can literally just put all your digital stuff in and then have a usefull conversation with it. We just need better open integration, efficient local models...

My only rule for lesset structured data (= note-taking) is that the tool must support my "current" process of thought, not any hypothetical future need. I use outliners for that.

My only rule for the more structured data (= KM bases) is that I can potentially merge the data together (CSV will do) and use it in any interface I like (good filtering...)

Mathematical notation is more concise, which may take some getting used to. One reason is that it is optimized for handwriting. Handwriting program code would be very tedious, so you can see why mathematical notation is the way it is.

Apart from that, there is no “the code” equivalent. Mathematical notation is for stating mathematical facts or propositions. That’s different from the purpose of the code you would write to implement deep-learning algorithms.
I think you’re overcomplicating it.

Files just need to know where they moved from, if anywhere. Copy, modify, delete operations can be auto-detected almost all of the time. Lineage can be edited after the fact if needed.
From perspective of electric cars, the efficiency compared to ICE (combustion engine) cars is fantastic. 90%+ energy is used to move the car with electric motors, while only 30% is used in combustion engine, rest is losses in heat and friction.

Modern electric cars can now also use regenerative braking which means brakes last a long time.

The biggest downside of electric cars currently is the batteries. They 100x less gravimetric dense than gasoline/petrol.

Gasoline has volumetric density of 34.2 MJ/L and gravimetric density of 45 MJ/kg. Cost about ~$1/L. A 50L tank has same energy as ~450 kWh battery weighing only ~40kg.

Lithium ion batteries have volumetric density of ~1 MJ/L and gravimetric of 0.5 MJ/kg. A 450 kWh battery would weigh 3,240kg (3 tonnes!).

We are gonna be addicted to gasoline for a while until we solve for an equivalent clean energy dense fuel that can be efficiently converted to electricity.

--

In similar perspective, solar panels are now quite cheap (<$1/watt). The big problem is energy storage. Lithium batteries are still quite expensive, bulky and not much energy dense.

Nature on the other hand has solved this problem millions of years ago. Natural solar panels (leaves) store energy in wood (mostly cellulose).

Dry wood is ~20 MJ/kg and ~10MJ/L. Still >10X more dense than Li-ion batteries.

--

Long range electric cars use most of the energy to move the heavy battery instead of the payload inside the car.

Humans don't weigh much (~70kg). A tesla model Y has (~770kg) battery. That's 10X the weight of payload.
It would be a great game title. And that's the problem -- it's apparently not a game.

> instead of every frame

It's wasteful to recompute paths every frame, since people don't entirely rethink their gross movements every 16ms. Way back when I coded some monster pathfinding, I also randomized the re-pathing interval to avoid intermittent lag (multithreading wasn't really a thing back then), which also made the monsters behave more realistically.

But is it? A 20/25mph speed limit implies a residential street. If you are doing 40 could you stop in time if a kid is hidden by parked cars and suddenly runs out into the street chasing a ball? If not, could you scrub off enough speed quickly enough to get below the ~20mph threshold where a collision with a pedestrian is unlikely to be fatal?

Hi and thanks for the great work! Have you considered offering .mobi or .azw file formats of the books? With the 2023 browser update, even old Kindles now have a fast and functional web browser. It is almost possible to find and download Standard Ebooks directly from the Kindle browser, but for the file format.
Well, I ended up writing it because I was forking busybox for my custom file format for executables.

It is not going as fast as I wanted, since I wanted it be finished "yesterday", but I may focus next on, shell matcher and basic/extended regexp.
I've used that in the past, but it doesn't really work that well on large projects--it basically works by keeping a hg and a git version of the same repository, and storing a mapping between the two, which scales really poorly with multi-million commit repositories.

What I really want is something that will let me use the interface of hg's power tools (revsets, phases, changeset evolution) on an existing git repository.
I feel like the term perfectionism should be changed. Most people use it as a crutch. Friend - “I don’t do things bad because I’m a perfectionist. “ when in fact he didn’t do things because he was a “perfectionist”. Just call them non-risk takers.

Maybe it's paradoxical, but I think some combination of working on OSS broadly and using Nix in particular have helped me fight an inclination towards perfectionistic procrastination.

I still prefer to build a working prototype in private rather than flail in public, but the relative ease of integrating publicly-available sources means I get immediate leverage from ~publishing everything I depend on.

I've had less success extending that to writing, though.
Right now, it's only keeping track of the mistakes where you pick a play which you should pick 0% of the time (for example, you should fold or raise but never call). These kinds of mistakes may not be quite as rare as you would think. For example, today, over about 1400 hands played against the bot, players have lost about 1350 in expected value by making these kinds of pure mistakes. This amounts to about 48 big blinds per 100 hands. (Granted, people might be playing haphazardly and not trying to play perfectly.)

I am currently thinking about how to also measure mistakes which involve the player's distribution of choices when the best play is a mixed strategy. One possibility is to keep track of the player's distribution over time. This would probably require too large of a sample size, so one possibility would be to merge similar situations in the game tree when assessing this kind of mistake. Another possibility is to have the player somehow actually choose a mixed strategy when making a decision.
If DC in houses became popular, it seems like they'd follow the same model as RV's -- low power devices like lighting, water pump, maybe refrigerator all run on 12VDC, high power devices like air conditioning, microwave, etc run on 120VAC (sometimes inverted from battery).

That limits the high gauge wire to the short run from battery to inverter, otherwise you'd need very expensive and heavy large gauge cable running to those high power devices.
just downloading a zip file won't auto execute anything.

There is a missing piece of information here. Lower vehicle speeds are actually worsen pollution per mile. The optimum fuel economy for most ice vehicles is around 40 miles/hour. Anything below or above that will increase the pollution per mile. So what cities should do is: lower speeds for all personal transport. Speed up busses to 40miles/hour. Give the busses special lanes everywhere. Increase the amount of public transport. Increase it so much that you can just travel without an itinerary. Make public transport faster that private transport.

If you are confused (like me) that this was about PyPI (Python packages repository) then no. It is about a project called PyPy (one can argue it is bad name) that is an implementation of python interpreter but without cpython. Instead they rely on a JIT compiler. And it is syntax compatible but if your code uses any library or method relying on C extensions then you are out of luck (Goodbye NumPy.. etc).

Edit: They have C-layer emulation, but I don't know its limitations or current status, but you can use those libraries [1][2]
