But you posted this to a site that is literally called Hacker News... To be clear, I am not supporting any attempt at undermining your project, but people are pointing out to you t…

Because no message has ever had its meaning twisted by overzealous spellcheck. No ducking way.

I don't have much to contribute, but the name "Rephsis" seems borderline unpronounceable to me (maybe that's why the empire is crumbling? :P). I don't know whether you had some ins…

Do they? I think it's mainly about how much energy you are willing to invest into making rational decisions over emotional/"gut" ones. I mean, in the end, it probably doesn't matte…

In other words, you introduce an invalid state to every object and make constructing objects a lot more cumbersome. The first is the exact opposite of the (imo highly desirable) "m…

Thanks for this, it provides an intriguing approach to thinking about transformers (or predictors in general)! For extracting the fractal from the residual stream, did I understand…

> I think that they should not have allowed to overload = and , operators Comma operator I would agree is really only used for shenanigans. But operator= is as crucial as the copy/…

As a younger programmer, I used to listen to people hating about everything C++ does, offers, or wants to be. Specifically https://yosefk.com/c++fqa/ [1]. Then I tasted the RAII (p…

Regardless of all the "he said, she said", libel or not libel, email response times, GMP, threats and whatever drama: Is there anyone who is seriously contesting the "it is intende…

FWIW, "number of flights you take" also drowns out your eating habits in environmental impact. Compared to how much they cost, flights have stupid CO2 equivalents. However, I don't…

Don't you think that we would be able to observe some anisotropy in the data if that were the case? (Note: I have no clue, but it seems unlikely...)

If you (or anyone reading it) include yourself in that "we", you can help with taking that step by writing and/or donating to the nonprofits that are driving these cases. Like the …

As a notable example, the MP3 format was hand-tuned to vocals based on "Tom's Diner" (i.e. a female voice). It has been accused of being biased towards female vocals as a result.

I find this post very highly accurate in my personal experience (minus the "do it on a Saturday" part). And this is in a company whose departees often tend to eventually return pre…

> even humans hallucinate massively Simpler example: Dreams.

A fair comparison (on a technical level) to GPT-4 RAG would be a doctor in a relevant field who also has internet access. I think this would be indeed interesting to compare to ass…

Agreed - I am a bit troubled by the maintainer stance here, even if they have to wade through a bunch of AI nonsense every day and this report is fluffed up way too hard. "We assum…

The OpenAI announcement mentions being able to provide an image to start the video generation process from. That sounds to me like it will actually be incredibly easy to anchor the…

FYI on https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/116089 : `inline` first and foremost affects the One Definition Rule. Very briefly put: If you have a function defined (!)…

At least the image scaling does not appear to be in linear? Going by the notes in [0]: Gimp and stb_image_resize results are subtly different from others, even for Bilinear. Looks …

Arguably, minimal frequency + phase adjusted so the falling sinusoid has only negative values in the playing area is "more optimal" (more room for error).

Two big question marks after reading this and the linked home page (partially pointed out in other comments): - If there's a flaw in your application code that causes a crash (as i…

I hear it's one of the factors regarding the location of Intel's upcoming German fab.
