I've done something similar for a couple tools. I tend to make them as Python servers which serve plain html/js/css with web components. I know this is a bit more complicated than …

This sounds somewhat like a normalizing flow from a discrete space to a continuous space. I think there's a way you can rewrite your DDN layer as a normalizing flow which avoids th…

> The system is full up at the moment and you can't really add anything without removing some things. Middle school seems rather un-full to me. Right now students start learning ab…

No, surveys like where researchers show up to hospitals and look at the police reports for the injured cyclists. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my wording. By "survey" I was trying to …

> I'd bet accidents are more often than not mostly their fault. That's actually not true. Most surveys I've seen show that drivers are at fault ~80% of the time.

It is possible to construct φ exactly with a straight-edge and compass. Would the approximation of 5π/6 - 1 be used because it's easier to calculate quickly?

Are you sure about that? According to Wikipedia both gypsum and calcite are used. Apparently, gypsum is used for colored chalk, and calcite is used for white chalk: > Chalk sticks …

The camera is positioned so that the side window is visible through the front windshield. I think the "black coating" you are seeing is just the interior of the van, and that the e…

They seem a lot easier than USAMO problems, or even Putnam problems. I suspect that top students nowadays could easily solve them all in a day.

I was having some difficulty figuring out how Hy actually is translated to Python (and wasn't even sure if it was compiled or interpreted). Eventually I found on Wikipedia the foll…

Also, a curve which gets arbitrarily close to every point in the unit square actually touches every point in the unit square. This is because (by definition) a curve is a continuou…

The Hilbert curve does contain every point in the unit square. It is a limit of curves, and so can contain points even not in the intermediate constructions. This is similar to how…

It looks simple and elegant to me, and I've only used Clojure a little before. Perhaps you're just not very experienced as a programmer in anything except mainstream languages.

I don't understand why this was downvoted. In case it's not clear: (S)he's saying to split the key into multiple shares that can be used to reconstruct the key if you have a large …

Do you know why introductory textbooks don't define the determinant in terms of the exterior product? This is how some "real" mathematicians I've talked to define it. It also is mo…

How do you know they didn't have other books about civil rights? Maybe they had an entire library filled with such books, but that wasn't brought up in the article.

Those blog posts are pretty bad. Just read the original paper, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.09353 . The key section is 4.1.

How fast is Goblins? I've been considering using it for a project, but I'm worried that it would be too slow. Would it, e.g., be fast enough to serve as a database?

Is this not literally a federal crime? It sounds like HP installed a backdoor on its printers to download malware that disables the printer. If it's not a crime, I think it should …

> And in 2024 we still have no competing NLP architecture. No, we do. State space models are both faster and scale just as well. E.g., RWKV and Mamba. > Transformers aren't merely …

Yes.

You can also have another model "mentor" a new model you are teaching to speed up training. You don't have to start from scratch with zero knowledge. This is done a lot in what are…

Is this the same "naked festival" that finally allowed women to participate (instead of being male-only)?
