    Are there any known ways to undo the compression? Assuming no clipping, the process should be reversible, right?

    I can recommend https://noai.duckduckgo.com . It works pretty well.

    Do you know a good reference to learn more about this (quantizing weigths to 1.58 bits, and trit arithmetic)?

    The compiler is open-source and can be run locally. You need an account if you want to use their web editor, which is nice (it shows error messages where they occur along with an e…

    It is exhausting, but it can be fun. My motivation was to network during conferences. I ended up meeting interesting people, having good conversations, and enjoying myself more.

    > You don't become more extroverted, but you can improve your social skills. The way I did it is: I learned to _pretend_ to be extroverted. It works!

    I have to use a Windows laptop for work; it was migrated to Windows 11 a few months ago. Win 11 is definitely, measurably worse than Win 10, at least in the configuration that my e…

    I think the best vertical tabs implementation in firefox is Sidebery. The use of "panes" to group tabs is brilliant. Older versions were buggy, but version 5 has been rock solid fo…

    I am healthy, and intend to remain so -- I wear an N95 in all indoor spaces.

    I think it's interesting that human minds generally (though not always!) improve when exposed to the output of other human minds. It seems to be the opposite for current LLMs.

    I agree with you; I've noticed the same thing. It seems many niche or small markets are being abandoned in favor of the larger ones.
