    I feel like the fact that ML has no good explanation why it works this well gives a lot of people room to invent their head-canon, usually from their field of expertise. I've seen …

    Don't we all experience this from time to time? When I'm focused on solving some mathematical problems I'm not thinking in words, but in concepts. When you are thinking of words yo…

    This exists and does work to some degree, e.g. Detecting hallucinations in large language models using semantic entropy https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07421-0

    My experience is mostly with gpt-4. Act like it is a beginner programmer. Give it small, self-contained tasks, explain the possible problems, limitation of the environment you are …

    WPA2 also had an exploit (KRACK) while the handshake algorithm itself was "proven to be secure". Formal verification is a powerful tool but it does not guarantee bug-free code: it …

    Based on response times it probably just uses caching for some answers and has limited token/second toward chatgpt so it gives an error sometimes if you ask a question that needs t…

    I'm running models locally on my 3090 and it's fast enough, although for example building a vector database can take a while. I can run LoRa training but I haven't done anything me…

    One possible explanation is that Putin wants to prevent a possible rival from winning over oligarchs by promising to make agreement with the eu. Many oligarchs are losing a lot of …

    It would even decrease the value of their property to no fault of their own. That sounds like something the manufacturer should be responsible for.

    The entangled photons can't detect the interruption alone, you need the message too. If you are interested how I suggest watching Veritasium's video about Bell's theorem as a start…

    Quantum entanglement cannot be used to transmit information but can be used to check if the message was interrupted, so it's still important for quantum cryptography. (I'm just a p…

    Learning algorithms are also affected by experience (or data in case of supervised)

    While the framework of differentiation between intranational and international interests fits, it is certainly not "for the good of the people" in this case. Orban antagonized the …

    The hungarian leading party (fidesz) has already declared they will not veto Ukrain's adoption to the EU so I personally really doubt they would veto Finland's entry to the NATO. T…

    Videos usually had about 10% of the number of votes compared to views, so depending on how you define (vast) majority it is correct.

    I just want to point out the irony in falling back to good old centralized fintech companies to actually use the supposedly decentralized currency. Sorry, I know, off-topic.

    Well, if you collect commits on a feature branch you can just create a new one with a slightly different name - all the commits on your branch are rewritable before you push it in …
