Good on you for seeing a problem and making something to solve it! That said, I'm a bit confused about the use case. Wouldn't it be simpler and more secure to have all the encrypti…

Forth supports direct memory access; you can request arbitrarily sized chunks of heap memory and retain pointers either on the stack or aliased by dictionary words. https://forth-s…

Here is one - there are finitely many mathematical symbols (or at least, all mathematical symbols can be defined in terms of a finite core of symbols). That means the set of all ma…

It's more like gren-itch than gren-each (native UK speaker).

In "their logos", the word 'their' is possessive but 'logos' isn't, and shouldn't take an apostrophe. OP's correction was right.

I think you misunderstood OP- I think he's saying that there was propaganda across the board, including both treatment of people like Gallileo, and also including techniques such a…

Would it be fair to say they signal boosted her personal details on social media? Irrespective of whether it is literally doxxing (I think you're right that it isn't), it feels irr…

They are not strictly speaking illegal in the UK, and were pretty common in the 2000s and early 2010s. The law requires employers to pay minimum wage to anyone who is a worker (i.e…

Looks like the app is Taptic: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/taptic-d-deaf-support/id647898...

Wow! I think I dimly intuited your first paragraph already; I directionally get why your second might be true (although I'd have thought L1 was even more so, since it encourages ze…

You're correct, and the term you're looking for is "regularisation". There are two common ways of doing this: * L1 or L2 regularisation: penalises models whose weight matrices are …

I think there's a sense in which moderns feel that the reals (or at least the rationals) are a natural category: that 5 and 0.3 are the same "kind of thing". Mathematicians talk ab…

I'm no fan of this act but your characterisation is highly misleading. To pick two examples from the document you linked: Discussion of being a sex worker would not be covered. The…

The capital W is conventional - when talking about a place, a language, or a grouping of people, it's grammatically correct to capitalise the inital letter. "I visited a few of Ame…

The linked article precisely claims that the have overhyped their results by (inadvertently? ) having their test distribution overlap with their training data, and implies that the…

I don't have a specific link, but the general method is called "image streaming". It's pretty googleable so you should be able to find something similar at least.

I remember hearing that Beam Search doesn't work well for LLMs, because it leads to repetitive, generic output. The majority vote sampling technique in this paper sounds like it'd …

I think it does come down to semantics. When you say "weights", people will take you to mean the pre-trained parameters of the network. I agree that in some sense the attention wei…

If I'm going to ask the player to do something multi stage I will usually flag it so they know that there's a few places where things might go wrong. "OK well sneaking up to it is …

I think you're setting an unreasonably high bar. Christianity has a high degree of continuity with Judaism, but rejects important aspects of Jewish theology, such as Kosher and Sab…

I have a vague memory that if your device can't get a direct route to your Plex server (e.g. because of NAT) then it gets relayed via Plex's own cloud servers with significant band…

Your colleague is dealing with a problem of disaligned incentives. If growth was the top priority for the engineering team, then (assuming her suggestions are good) they would get …

It's not everything in [0, 1] as e.g. 2/3 is missing. (n is conventionally an integer). If you have a set where there's an idea of the distance between two points (a metric space),…

I found it an interesting deep dive into something completely esoteric that I have no prior context on. Reading original work by a domain expert scratches the same itch for me as l…

I host a Plex instance on a server on my home network, and struggled with setting up external access because my ISP at the time had a double NAT. What I ended up doing was renting …
