I had the toy pictured in 59. You could tell that a toy was made in USSR by the fact that it often didn't have any markings indicating the origin.

After Stalin's death in 1953 the higher ups became more preoccupied with fighting amongst each other and maintaining the soviet union's status on the global scene than holding a ti…

That's more or less the idea behind Low-Rank Adaptation, or LoRA. There's also Mixture of LoRA Experts, which instead of slicing up the model and routing through that, routes throu…

Disregard the grandfather for a moment. How is today better than the situation 20 years ago?

Up to a certain scale a model only needs to effectively do tool calls - that is something which doesn't require too frequent updates. What I imagine an on-device model should be do…

An "Expert" is really just an unfortunate name for what amounts to a dense part of a sparse matrix and that's also an oversimplification. It doesn't actually specialise in anything…

My cowork buddy is living this reality - he's an independent analyst and previously he needed to shell out significant cash to have certain scripts (largely scrapers, social media …

I'm not concerned. Never in my life have I experienced stakeholders just going "hmm, yes - this is enough software for our purposes - we won't be needing your services any more". T…

It doesn't need to be hereditary. Just needs to be in the range where on one hand a person doesn't want the next generation to go through the same and on the other, where making th…

Fortunately it's extremely unlikely. There was a change in the world, which went largely unnoticed - sometime in 2013-2017 the global number of infants peaked, never to recover. Th…

Is that how chessboxing was invented? Genuinely asking.

> Weirdest thing - he never came back after the job to get paid. I believe you've met a Mike Garage: https://x.com/japan_nobunaga/status/2083940637921943803 They don't always accep…

At some point it started using a lot of jargon instead of just laying it down clearly. Reads a little bit like LinkedInspeak.

My grandpa had 74 years with grandma until she passed away early this year and even at 99 the feeling of loss is all the same.

Switzerland has all that and paid days off on par with the rest of Europe.

I feel like the modern version of this would have the neighbourhood largely intact, but humans killed via miniature drones. Drives home the point how few anticipated that batteries…

This clip is what introduced me to this story. This adaptation is heavily modified, but I think it adds to the whole thing. Soviet artists had an uncanny talent for making everythi…

To quote an obscure reference from my country: Regarding linoleum let's agree to disagree. I for one appreciate it. It is still present in my region to an extent. This year my rela…

Funny how that never made it to the rules of the internet.

Hailing from Germany's eastern neighbor, where part of the industry went to and where energy is even more expensive, I call BS. The main reason Germany was so hooked on gas wasn't …

By the effect it has, among other things. Courts take into account whether the stated motive is believable.

That is my experience as well. I write tests by hand because they really still can't do it properly. And I think I know why - neither do most people.

As a father to two daughters I must ask what do you mean by that?

It bothers me that you have to explicitly state this to the agent. Makes me think what else is missing from that file which also needs to be explicitly stated, but I don't know wha…

The heat is spread out to a much larger volume. Heat engines are most efficient when the temperature difference between the hot and cold side is high, so you need to keep it that w…
