> The document is literally made for you to read... It’s disingenuous to assume every PDF is actually crafted to communicate to its recipients, even more so to pretend LLM users ar…

Can’t claim to know for sure, but I’d assume some kind of measurement limitations: the resolution and upper/lower limits of pulse ox are probably calibrated to some medical need, n…

LLMs are great at decompression [1] [1] https://jabde.com/2026/02/02/utilizing-llms-as-a-data-decomp...

Ah, yes, part one of the ole That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not the IDF's fault. And if it was, t…

Seems like you’re asking “what’s the point of investigating crimes against humanity?” And if that’s a question you have to ask, then clearly something is very wrong.

Definitely a unicorn success story. I’d be curious about Balatro in a similar vein—-labor of love turns wildly successful

Their job, in this case, is probably more of a signal than a clear indicator Plenty of front-running companies have hired plenty of…not-solid or excessively imaginative data scient…

I understand the strategy isn’t to find a niche in the sense of a specific set of users, but to broaden and cover more niches The niches exist (overlapping niches aside), but agree…

Not completely—as far as ecosystems there are RStudio addins, but I wouldn’t bet addins are extensively used

Computation isn’t likely prohibitive when using the bedrock of predictive models, linear regression, especially w some optimization. Could also vary observation time so you only ne…

Could you share a reference for those wanting to learn more?

Had a lot of fun reading this. I’d love to see some of the author’s code to get a sense what the journey produced, if that’s even possible

I’m not sure why you’re confused. An occupying force holding its own elections in an occupied place is indeed illegal (your reference was about Israeli people holding elections in …

That second study didn’t use as robust of methods as the first, and they each used observational data that benefit from advanced methods (propensity score analysis). With an RCT, t…

> Given that designation as a separate state, complaining that they can't vote in Israeli elections is like complaining that Canadians can't vote in US elections. I don’t remember …

I’m also big on Asrock and I don’t understand how it’s not a more popular manufacturer

Really cool project. When I got to the sign in page, the email address I would have given my (edit: Google account) info seemed fishy, like it was a random string of letters. Any w…

It’s also “unfashionable” because the criteria for who qualifies as Hamas varies depending on how you ask. See jhallenworld’s comment elsewhere in this post: > “Hamas terrorist” cr…

Their cars recently significantly dropped in price, and it seems clear why [1]. Also got a bad review from MKBHD on YouTube, which can’t help[2] [1] https://slickdeals.net/f/173873…

Yeah it’s probably worth renting a server if there’s any doubt about whether it’s wholly appropriate to do something

MLC Chat supports Mistral 0.2 (7B, q3f16_1, it seems)

“Back to Oct 7” Oct 7 isn’t when history started. Just a few days earlier, Israeli people were storming a mosque in Jerusalem. Seventy five years earlier, they were ethnically clea…

That’s interesting. I think it’s rich that Israel is a “victim” despite having nuclear arms and one of the most advanced militaries in the world, but there’s somehow still a need t…

That’s an interesting parallel, Gazan’s response is also borne of a history of oppression. Living with food insecurity, being an intergenerational refugee unable to return to home …
