Spent some time playing on it just now on Linux. I couldn't easily get the automatic ingestion or gardening working, but everything else is working okay. For my workflows I think I…

This isn't as easy as it sounds. Every ML model is struggling to balance between generalization and test performance. Taking a good model like GLM5.2 and just fine tuning it on cod…

Help me understand this viewpoint that AGI being possible in the near-ish future is a myth, I see it repeated quite a lot. I've been in NLP since the LSTM days and it's hard for me…

There doesn't really seem to be anything of substance in the actual executive order. Section 1 doesn't say anything Section 2 seems to boil down to: "improve cyber security and may…

Are we looking at the same data? On that site I see that opus 4.7's and gpt 5.5's g scores are within each others confidence intervals, and both significantly ahead of the number 3…

An alternative explanation is that cold places with long winters are depressing, and because they are depressing fewer people want to live there. Alaskan winters are hard regardles…

I had a similar experience recently, where I logged in to Facebook after not using it for years and was shocked by how much garbage was there. My spouse does use Facebook somewhat …

In practice you can use 2d generation on spheres with simple UV mapping techniques. Your pixel height becomes distance from the sphere origin.

I worked on something very similar for my master's degree. The problem I could never solve was the speed, and from reading the paper it doesn't seem like they managed to solve that…

The main issues I see are immich identifying things like statues or paintings as people, and not dealing with people (especially kids) aging. Google photos isn't perfect either but…

There are still some features that a miss from Google photos. There isn't any way (that I know of) to auto add pictures to an album based on the face. I used to have dedicated albu…

Diffusion LMs do seem to be able to get more out of the same data. In a world where we are already training transformer based LLMs on all text available, diffusion LMs ability to c…

DETR model have outperformed YOLO models for a while, but they have been much slower making them impractical for real time detection.

Well, the US publishes numbers for a lot of its programs so we can see exactly how much is spent on the bureaucratic nightmare. Medicaid FY 2023 Budget: $900.3b ($620b federal, $28…

This exactly. For parents it is not a choice, you absolutely must have a parent sitting by a young child. The effect of not automatically putting parent and children next to each o…

You're completely right, it is very similar to the western style credit score, and is often either accidentally or deliberately misrepresented. That being said, it covers behaviors…

I agree that the American understanding of the Social Credit System is flawed, but to suggest it doesn't exist is an extreme overreach. Furthermore, it clearly is a system that is …

Here is a list of items that matter for an American. It is much worse if you are from Hong Kong or Taiwan. 1. Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter (basically all major American so…

Plane tickets to China are relatively cheap right now. LAX to PEK round trip for $750. Take a trip and see for yourself.

The nature of Chinese censorship makes it difficult to provide hard numbers, but it really is worse. America's handling of censorship is certainly not the best, and it has gotten w…

How would you respond to the critique that it makes that tax associated with a property dependent on the improvements to adjacent properties? I could see a situation where a single…

I feel like most people that say WeChat is a super app haven't actually used it for any period of time. WeChat achieves their "able to do everything" by embedding sub apps within t…

While I strongly doubt this fully disables tracking, you can at least disable your watch history on youtube which will have the effect of the recommendation algorithm not adjusting…
