KOO is opt-in for each recipient. The recipient has to upload a key to KOO.

Obviously, OpenPGP works differently from TLS, and TLS does not have a concept of key servers - but key servers are absolutely not a new invention for OpenPGP, and it shouldn't be surprising that if you upload your key to one, you might get an encrypted email.
I kinda thought it was because it was easy to tab autocomplete.
That explanation sounds real, but it isn’t. Really weird, why make something like this up?
Your question may be a better fit for a different StackExchange site.
No but you might investigate how even the dice really is and if it only happens with dice that have the shiny red swirl painted on one side then maybe consider not doing that.
It's a complicated answer, but yes and no. A pilot needs to warm up in order to pull the high Gs as rated by the airframe. In addition, you can only pull the rated G-force for the plane for so long before blacking out. In addition, the plane has to be re-certified after going over a certain G rating.
That was my first thought as well, though on further consideration I assumed that it was some kind of paid/for-profit criminal organization performing these attacks on behalf of a nation-state.
Navie AI + AppMap I found it while looking for a tool that could read my code and create flow diagrams automatically. AppMap does exactly that: records "appmaps" while the app runs, it is one of the most useful plugins I have seen in vscode for those who have to deal with a lot of different codebases, languages, repos, on a daily basis. It is a really useful too for engineering teams, it allows devs to jump into new codebase so fast. probably one of the most powerful tools I have seen running in Visual studio code. their latest version includes a AI assistant that can feed from the appmaps + language models to build documentation, explanations, etc. in seconds.
Original creator of the blog here. I originally wrote this for a course from my University and thought it was interesting so integrated it into my website. So i didn't want to "solve" anything. I just wanted to extend on what Andrej karpathy mentioned in one of his tweets: https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1582807367988654081. I think this view on transformers is a very powerful one and explains in the best way why the transformer is build that way. This also allows us to reason about certain improvements for the transformer. This was mostly an educational blog
Hi, what kind of sensor? When posting to the public you should mention the subject of what can be sensed or scanned early on.
Modernity's Monoculture Mistake
This was my thought too, it's borne of frustration.
My (former) school is actually already in the process of doing that! My dissertation committee thought it was novel enough that it needed some IP protection and encouraged me to pursue that.
That's the gist, with kids (and potential mortgage) the buffer is so huge, even if its there it creates its own pressures. Nobody normal likes to burn through tens of thousands if not more, so they often stave it off, for better or worse (and worse it usually is)
I think a key will be merit-based resource distribution - which means not having a centralized pool funded by tax payers that then is a single point of failure, nor a single point of capture for wannabe tyrants, whereby still collect taxes for the purpose of education - however distributing it based on the parents' selecting what lineage of knowledge-skillsets they want their children exposed to or indoctrinated in.

Perhaps the greatest difficulty with this, for policy makers, is it's hard to quantify or account for externalized benefits. However the other end of the spectrum with the student loan scandal, giving loans to people for "education" that - has already occurred and so it's time to go back towards merit-based acceptance and distribution of resources - tied to an actual path with an ROI, and then where "liberal arts" can thrive once enough parents have enough to pay for their children to go into those programs - rather than society funding them, like we poorly-irrationally do in Canada.

The policy politicians will push for will depend on if their goal is to maximize centralized control and dependance on government or not, where if more and more "students" require state-funds for "acceptable" state accreddited education - where they must comply and be "good citizens" and follow your orders, mandates, if they want to continue to be able to suck on the teet of the centralized state control - while that same state may be (and is what's happening in Canada) has policy in place to dramatically increase and continue to increase the cost of living, reducing the quality of life - so where more and more people are going to become forced to depend on the government aka a communist state; or if the state as part of their strategy is also to accept foreign students, flooding the institutions with foreign students for their revenues, also as a way to bring in revenues from external sources, for better or worse.

We are a little closer to Harvard in that regard: we are private, but one thing we do is that our admissions are direct into the department, though handled centrally. But regardless of the incentive, it does nobody any favors to put them in a situation where they're going to fail. The students we admitted who are not doing well in the math classes are exceptionally strong overall, but our CS program is, um, rigorous.

What makes it you think it's not as good as LLaMA? It's likely much better. There are multiple open-weight models that are better than LLaMA 2 out there already.
I dunno, I've always found that to be a... less impressive part of the blog. When the author hits problems in her stack, anyone who would have caught it should shut up and stop being THE ONE. Fine, we've all run into people with big skills and bigger egos. But... the other half of her blog posts are her making snide remarks about how stupidly other people have set stuff up. To her (ex-)coworkers, she is THE ONE. So it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
KDE's KWin Merges Wayland Explicit Sync Support
I think each school has their own culture/brand they're going for and they want to find the best fit for that brand. Just having the best test takers doesn't match.

Harvard probably wants a mix of people who have a history of going to Harvard, elites, with high performers and others. If it's only elites, then the academic quality goes down. Only best academic performers, elites will go to another school to call home, etc.
Meritocracy is a lot like how Winston Churchill described democracy: the worst of all systems, until you consider the alternatives. What’s your alternative? Hereditary aristocracy?
I never said or implied it's a Markov model, someone else did in this thread, and someone parroted them. A Markov chain is a much looser concept than next token prediction, and would apply to any finite state machine where you can predict the next state. The React state management library XState is a Markov chain. Has nothing to do with language at all.

I don't appreciate you calling me ignorant, but I think the source of your projection is this phrase: "I don't think anyone has a good explanation of how it works so far" which translates to you don't know the basics. I get it, makes you mad for some reason lol But maybe it's you that needs to read up on what a language model actually is - what next token prediction means, and how it applies to LLMs you know and love. It really is not rocket science :)

Thanks for your comment!
No because it's exactly the opposite. Kessler syndrome results from satellites smashing into each other with high relative velocities. The entire point of formation flying is zeroing out relative velocity. That's how you stay in formation with something.
For building docs sites I like Astro. There are at least a few tailwind+docs themes available if you want to get something started fast. By default all content is markdown, but you can integrate with other CMSs.

I think I used something called Spinal as a reference theme [1]

I use astro for the development of my company's developer docs [2] -- I would reach for it for internal sites also.

Indeed, a comment on that submission yesterday contains the same link as this submission:

Quite likely that OP found it, and decided to submit it, based on that comment.
It's a coincidence I just looked at that Q&A a couple nights ago. I had never heard of the "HACKING" file before but I like it. Is there a list somewhere of commonly used README-esque files used in open source projects?
Contrast with Q&A on products on Amazon where people routinely answer that way. I have flagged responses saying "I don't know" but nothing ever comes of it.
Cost to experiment being low doesn't make non-obvious ideas obvious. As a trained researcher with patents I'm no longer surprised by how often simple ideas have remained undiscovered for decades.
time of submission matters, but it's strange that this post wasn't marked as duplicate of your submission

Not only is this objectively true, I also have an iPhone. It's not news to me but it still makes me do a double take every time.

This is honeypot.

This trend happened before autocomplete was common. If you logged into a commercial unix machine in the 90s it would not have autocomplete out of the box.

I assumed it was to sort at the top of 'ls' output, which is one of the answers on stack exchange.
Nowadays they are instead learning to say "please join our Discord for support"!
Will be interesting to see how this pans out.
This is very cool actually! Human bodies take so many resources from the Earth to grow, the very least we can do is recycle what's left when we die. Body composting ("green burial") is an increasingly popular option today, but I wouldn't mind if my bones were used in manufacturing either. (Actually my biggest objection would be who's profiting off my bones. I've spent almost my whole life so far enriching billionaires, and it would be cool if that could end at my death.)

I think what's most surprising to me is that I didn't realize battlefield mass graves were actually so common in the past. At this scale it makes sense, but I had an idea from antiquity studies that war dead were expected to be brought home for burial. (That could also be untrue of antiquity tbh; burial was always an incidental topic.)
I quote the second paragraph of the Derivatives section. (which was edited to a better, but not yet enough, sin(h)≈h and cos(h)≈1 when h is close to zero).

I perfectly understand that around 0, sin(x) ~ x and cos(x) = 1 + o(x) but it isn't obvious geometrically, unlike what the article implies.

From my point of view, increasing radius / decreasing curvature only gets you sin(x) -> 0 ; cos(x) -> 1, but that isn't enough to obtain the derivatives.

I found a geometric proof in [1] but that part is the longest and hardest of the page. I was wondering whether the author found a clearer way to express is.

[1] https://www.mathsisfun.com/calculus/derivatives-trig-proof.h...

EDIT: after looking at 3B1B's video, the "small" triangle d(sinΘ) by dΘ figure would be a better way to explain the derivative, rather than an "not hard to see geometrically" approximation that isn't enough to conclude.

The seasonal changes in rat count are likely due to rat behavior, but do we have any evidence that the long-term change over the years reflects an actual increase of rats rather than more people using 311 to report them?
> tiles by aggregation on a pixel level

Not sure I'm understanding this.

Is a "tile" then 1x1 pixels in size? If so, does the server maintain a pixel-addressable cache of the 1x1 tiles?
Mine showed up really stressed. Leaves were all crumbly, I had to prune it back to nothing but tender stems, hopefully it survives. So far very little glow.
As others have said, it’s easier to see in total darkness or using long exposure and it needs a LOT of Sun.
One somewhat disappointing thing about being a miltech "fan" is how few things are truly "new" F-16s have been around since before I was born, and will likely be in service in some ways after I'm gone - just without the human inside. It is simultaneously very cool and lame.
It is and it does feel about as awesome as you can imagine. In our case we also had a tough integration and testing campaign where we were changing software and running into hardware issues, etc. so I was personally quite tense until we got first contact :) and since then, the satellites are surprising us every day with how well they work!

>The problem is that tests do not ensure that high quality students are admitted.

Ensure, no, of course not. But it's better than nothing.

>very common disabilities like dyslexia or dyscalculia

These are not "very common" by my defintion: 10% of population, of varying degrees.

>neither of which has anything to do with intellect and sufferers of either can be excellent students. However, they will fail horribly at any kind of standardized testing.

How do you know they'd be great students but fail at testing? How are you assessing it? Isn't this the answer to all these issues?
I'm happy to see testing come back, might give school another look in a couple years when more follow suit.

I was looking at applying to grad schools last year. I've been out of school for, uh, a bit, and my undergrad was neither stellar nor relevant. I do great on standardized tests but basically none of the programs I wanted to apply to even accepted them and there's not a lot of room to communicate non-academic learning, so I just didn't bother.
> The common English use of 'credit' and 'debit' is correct,

Yes, by definition.

> The mistake is that we talk about them as "our" accounts.

No. The mistake is the failure to recognize that every account is actually two different accounts, one for each party to a transaction. A bank account looks different to the bank than it does to a depositor or to a borrower. To a depositor, a positive balance is an asset -- quite literally "money in the bank". To the bank, a positive balance in a deposit account is a liability, a loan that it has taken from the depositor on which it must pay interest (at least sometimes) and which it must eventually pay back. To a borrower, a positive balance on a loan is a liability, to the bank it's an asset. Every financial asset is a liability to some counterparty. Even cash is a liability to society at large. So whether something is an asset or a liability depends entirely on your point of view, and so if both parties are going to use the same number to represent an account balance, it is an arbitrary choice what the sign represents. A positive number is always going to be an asset to one party and a liability to the other. Which is which is totally arbitrary, except that there are some deeply entrenched conventions: a positive balance on a deposit account at a bank represents an asset to the depositor, a liability to the bank. A positive balance on a loan represents an asset to the lender, a liability to the borrower. A positive balance on an invoice represents an asset to the seller and a liability to the buyer. But there is no inherent reason why it has to be that way, it's just tradition.

Likewise, whether "credit" means "increase" or "decrease" is also simply a matter of convention. A "credit" to a deposit account means the balance goes up. A "credit" to a loan account (i.e. a loan payment) means the balance goes down. The thing that unifies these things is that a "credit" is either an increase in an asset or a decrease in a liability since both assets and liabilities are recorded by convention as positive numbers. So in isolation (i.e. without a balancing double-entry transaction), a (positive) credit increases your net worth and a (positive) debit decreases it.
I innovated and hold patents. I still don't know how I feel about patents and copyright.

At the end of the day, patents and copyright didn't lead to me being rewarded for innovating. I wish there was a better way.

Sometimes I wish AI could read everyone's claims and report who should be rewarded for what and by how much.
How would pencil marks on paper interact with data in the cloud and storage devices like in the patent described ?
Interesting, I didn’t hear about few shot prompting. There’s a ton of stuff written on specifically “priming” as well. People use different terms I suppose.

It makes sense about the context window length, it can be limiting. For small inputs and outputs, it’s great. And it’s remarkably effective with diminishing returns. This is why I have 5 shots as a concrete example. You probably need more than 1 or 2, but for a lot of applications, probably less than 20. For most basic tasks like extracting words from a document or producing various summaries, for example.

It depends on the complexity of the task and how much you’re worried about over-fitting to your data set. But if you’re not so worried, the task is not complex, and the inputs and outputs are small, then it works very well with only shots.

And it’s basically free in the context of fine-tuning.

It might be worth expanding on it a bit in this or a separate article. It’s a good way to increase reliability to a workable extent in unreliable LLMs. Although a lot has been written on few short prompting/priming already.
Nothing with a single straight advertised price per month for unlimited data.

You pay $10 per 50GB over 1.2TB until you pay an extra $100 for a plan that costs $30-80/month. After $100 in overage fees, additional data is free. So I guess the unlimited data plan costs $130-180/month instead of $30-80.

Why do you expect this? This doesn't happen with existing uses of eminent domain — lobbyist landholders aren't going around convincing the government to buy out useless land to their profit.

Eminent domain on real estate is only used as a last resort — it's invoked to buy out real estate where the government has some pre-existing plan that requires the use of the land; and there's no reasonable alternative to using that specific land; but the owner of the land doesn't want to sell it to them on the open market for a reasonable price (i.e. the price that they'd charge an arbitrary private buyer.)

I would assume eminent domain on patents would be the same: it would only be used if the government has a top-down plan that works out to require licensing a specific patent; with no reasonable alternative; but the patent owner is being obstructionist to licensing the patent for a reasonable price.

With all due respect, I’ve simply never heard anyone use these terms “correctly”. I live in an English-speaking country, and the closest thing I’ve seen to this is university signs that say things like “this is tiger nation” or something similar. But I’ve also seen people use “country” to express that too.

I assume they’re alternating not because it’s AI written but because the author considered them synonymous and wanted it to sound less repetitive.

These words are just so overloaded that I think this is a lost battle. People hike in the back-country, you can live in the city or the country. And frankly if you used “nation” to represent a cultural group of people in almost any context I think people would not understand or worse - assume you were stoking some racial angst or land-dispute.
Implementing Direct RF Sampling at Sub-Nyquist Rate for EVM Measurements
Before. It was clearly circular since the identity was assumed, the calc prof might have acknowledged this at the time.

Very important to note that this is a base model, not an instruct model. Instruct fine-tuned models are what's useful for chat.
Even if you can't use it constantly having a high top speed is useful. Most people aren't downloading large files most of the time. But it is very useful to be able to have those bits fly when do you do want to transfer something. While 1.2TB seems quite low for 2000Mbps it is still better than having 200Mpbs just so that you have 15h of full-speed capacity.

> inb4 "just a Markov Model"

A Markov chain is a much looser concept than next token prediction, and would apply to any finite state machine where you can predict the next state. The React state management library XState is a Markov chain.

If you want to call a token-prediction library that trains on .txt files Markovian you can - sounds cool! But token prediction is more specific to what the library does.

Use cases include: Auto-completion, auto-correct, spell checking, search/lookup, conversation simulation (chatbot), and more.
