Netflix makes reports since 2023 showing how much engagement everything in their catalog gets. This joins together all those into one report. Most surprising to me: 1. What a mega-…

To what degree can you say something like "if the kernel doesn't have metaprogramming [or some other set of features] it's fine". When were the last bugs with a reduced feature set…

The post itself is totally AI-generated. It has tons of tells, in addition to Pangram saying so. https://www.pangram.com/history/61fbc90e-180d-4d91-a85d-16ff...

why do you think so? they provide some evidence of this in the article, but there have been several improvements in e.g. nanogpt-speedrun or openai parameter golf made by AIs

Does China subsidize housing construction? Is your claim something like "China encourages/forces consumers to save at high rates which lowers interest rates and makes there be more…

The formal Ottoman name was Kostantiniyye=Constantinople until the empire's fall in 1922. The official shift happened in 1930, with the Turkish Postal Services Law changing the nam…

This is a quite old technique. The idea, as I understood it, was that lots of data at Google was stored in triplicate for reliability purposes. Instead of fetching one, you fetched…

I am in this world, but am not familiar with this specifically. My guess is that they found a bug with their implementation of the model using the weights Google released. These bu…
