Some recent discoveries indicate that LLMs might remember information after seeing it only once. See e.g.: https://www.fast.ai/posts/2023-09-04-learning-jumps/

On a bit unrelated note, if you want to handle very large Bloom filters (billions of entries with low false positive rates) there is an open source Java library that can help you t…

It is possible to run everything on CPU, even if we fastai 1.0. Only training can be 100 times slower than on GPU. Even for a toy exercises involving image processing and actual de…

The second part of the course ( https://course.fast.ai/part2 ) - builds stuff bottom-up, starting from matrix multiplication all the way up to ResNets. This is a great resource eve…

According my unscientific tests, it is about over 100 times faster. On my laptop I can throw one million exceptions in 15ms millisecond, when reusing the same exception objects, co…

Technically in Java it is possible to create an exception object once, and throw it multiple times, making throws much cheaper as the stack trace is filled during the object's cons…

That is not correct. 15 is total maximum number of repeats including the first one. Even the diagram on https://ihateregex.io/expr/username correctly says that loop can be taken be…

Apparently Amazon initially paid authors by e-book downloaded by users, but some authors abused this model. E.g. by splitting a 300-pages book to 6 50-pages books. It also enabled …

It will be very exciting to learn how life on Mars is different or similar to life on Earth. It would teach us what are might be fundamental blocks of life, and what is optional or…

This competition allowed submissions to include extra data files that can be used by the model. The cheaters added a file with data from another website that seemed innocent, but s…

With 900MHz and 32MB RAM it is more powerful than PCs when Doom launched (around 50MHz and 8MB RAM), so I guess it should be capable running Doom.

Warning: there is a US show "The Killing" that is an adaptation of the original show (originally called "Forbrydelsen"). While the US version initially starts as a shot-by-shot rem…

"Fossil" means "remains of plants or animals", but in the context of environmental aspect of fuels the key aspect is emission of CO2. Nuclear is neither of that. On the other hand …
