My dad added parental controls to our PC sometime around 1997. It also had Eudora installed, which my dad used for email. Poking around, I found the ini file that had the ciphertex…

> are using known math to solve them rather than inventing anything new. Isn't a new proof new math? If not, what qualifies as new math?

the streams aren't man-made and have tons of native fish species that also live in the impoundments now

what is the approximation linear in?

it's certainly not a definite procedure for determining if an arbitrary mathematical statement is true or not. it's more like educated guess and check which definitely scales up

this is cool but the leaderboard is just going to converge on large companies unless it's normalized somehow

just to be clear, it appears you're making up studies, results and explanations for results all in one go, is that right?

tuning defaults for performance feels much more acceptable than tuning defaults for correctness

this was my experience as well. "here's a trend, it's not true in these cases for reasons we won't explain." I only had two semesters and the second was much better than the first.…

it is both because the "objective" system is also rife with subjective judgements

is true that if you've done some amount of mental effort in the day, learning becomes "pretty inefficient"? I could see that being true if you're exhausted, but then doing a workou…

me too, but they apparently feel more comfortable, so I try to consider that

I agree for the most part. I have seen some non-native English speakers improve their short form English communication with an LLM, as a counter case.

so, the option to disable alerts is not present in the settings menu, despite appearances

any cool features you can share?

I feel great about my degree from my third tier college. I learned a lot I didn't expect to, got into a top tier grad school afterwards, and came away with no debt. Maybe me and th…

I'm curious what you want to model; what's an example phenomenon you'd like to be able to demonstrate?

yes it's called "actually having democratic elections"

also for ones fully into AI

too new, trinoo, ping -f, synflood, teardrop!

If only we had some way of signing messages

delays between increasing capacity to produce and bringing production to market naturally lead to cycles of over and under production. https://thesystemsthinker.com/balancing-loops…

where's a good irc chat these days?

The develop-test-refine feedback loop for this kind of attack is so long (or expensive) that it seems likely to limit its real world use. Poison training data, wait months? a year?…
