Have you read the article? It has an unbalanced emdash: `word— another word`. A novice mistake that an LLM likely will not commit nowadays. In standard typography—depending on whic…

I used to distro-hop a lot and in recent years settled with RHEL. The key change over the years is how fragile the supply chain becomes, so while distro like Arch Linux is a great …

How would this compare to shpool: https://github.com/shell-pool/shpool

I think it should be “Claude Fable is relentlessly protective until it isn’t” and pull more on the thread that it “hits a hidden guardrail” and drop into Opus. Both the fact that i…

rsync regression since 3.4.3 This link (edit: I link to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/522245#issuecomment-45... but probably the anchor is stripped automatically?) is the c…

That’s not what he said. And that part is from the GTD principle, much older than the “second brain” wave. That GTD principle, backed by psychological research, is basically saying…

:) I experienced both kind of sessions, one kind is like very complicated thing and it finish thousands of lines on its own for quite a while (long horizon problem), another kind i…

Have you tracked your time and confirmed this? The reason I an ask is, it would felt like a 5 minutes task, but I track my time and found out often time I thought I’d just quickly …

“Claude” is more specific than “you”. Why rely on attention to figure out who’s the subject? Also it is in their (people from Anthropic) believe that rule based alignment won’t wor…

It eliminated some ambiguity. It should be quite self evident that even without an example it is quite impossible to eliminate all ambiguity (it’s a feature of human language.) The…

This is uniquely interesting to me because humongous amount of data are produced in HEP so automatic research (data analysis) in that domain is I think a huge enabler. It makes try…

My naïve answer to this is, one should never be interested in things because of how useful it might be, but because of the thing itself. Otherwise, AI won’t be the first to make on…

I learnt this the hard way: if anyone is sending multiple emails, with seemingly very important titles and messages, and they get no reply at all, the receiver likely haven’t recei…

Small bugs? May be. But there’s a lot of lack of functionality and stability. I’d recommend InFuse if anyone is hitting those problems. If it has been running fine for you then the…

A.k.a. How do you deal with a time dependent network?

Nice illustration. To be a bit picky, there’s no unprocessed photo. They start with a minimally processed photo and take it from there. The reason I clicked is that when I saw the …

I think there’s a spectrum and you said it as if there’s only two sides. For me personally, I built my “data centre” as cheap as possible, but there’s a few requirements that the c…

It only works on Mac and windows as a VM. Nix is for reproducibility. Nix and docker are orthogonal. You can create reproducible docker image via nix. You can run nix inside docker…

Some people take Moore’s law in a strong sense: doubling rate is a constant. That is long dead. But if we relax it to be a slowly varying constant, then it is not dead. That consta…

Original title is “What Are Lie Groups?”. This article is the shallowest I have read from quanta magazine. I expected more, give there articles in mathematics.

This is equivalent to inverse variance weighting. For independent random variable, this is the optimal method to combine multiple measurements. He just used a different way to writ…

I’ve been using AirPods in macOS in Microsoft Teams call all the time.
