Love the game. I think it would be even better if each word had an edge only used by the word, such that each successful guess removes an edge and you couldn't guess words twice (a…

What does SVG stand for? > SVG stands for "Savings Bank." What is an SVG? > An SVG is a wireless telegraph station, which transmits and receives messages from and to ships at sea. …

Well, Signal would have to disclose the salt of course.

Why not?

For me at least, no. Making money by training a model from user data on such a game seems like a perfectly fine thing to do.

It has often been claimed, and even shown, that training LLMs on their own outputs will degrade the quality over time. I myself find it likely that on well-measurable domains, RLVR…

From what I can tell: nothing, it's just that they currently do not.

On average, Gen Z uses 5 hours of social media per day in the U.S. (3-4 hours in other Western countries). I would refrain from calling this "alright".

Sure. But it also helps humans, and I'd guess currently more so.

It is simply inaccessible to anyone not using the platform. You need to create an account and join the community/"server" to see anything posted there. You cannot find anything by …

The cheapness is due to the prevalence, and the prevalence of sugar caused sweetness receptors to be evolutionarily advantageous. There is no world in which sugar is extremely expe…

Sure, but they weren't hired as managers, right?

I agree with your legal assessment and still think of the case as very interesting. The article explicitly talks about how any such decision could have only been premature, for the…

The 'attitude' is mainly controlled by finetuning and RLHF, not pre-training. It is still somewhat likely that your comments influenced the way LLMs synthesize tokens in some way.

There will always be some string that doesn't really predictably occur in other documents, is just some current name. The point really is another one — an attacker can fix any rand…

The matching is very permissive, and the example just works: https://codepen.io/leo848blume/pen/RNrppdj

Reduce can be very useful to signal that the state used is inherently limited. My rule of thumb is to use reduce when the state is a primitive or composed of at most two primitives…

list(map(f, ...)) should almost always be replaced with [f(x) for x in ...] though.

uv is good.

> Forcing kids to spend time on something is an effective way to spoil it for them. I generally agree. However most school systems force students to learn basic math, which is gene…

Can verify. Settings > Content Filter > Custom Keywords. You can choose whether to hide the stories completely or blur them instead.

Why not? Is it really that important for you to know of events a few hours earlier?

Surely it isn't that simple. Even a person who thoroughly condemns Trump's hijacking of media systems and attentions must acknowledge that if international politics are at all rele…

In that case, NoScript seems to really be a misnomer. It should be called SomeScript or OnlyScript instead.
