What does pet" in "pet vs. cattle" mean?

Thank you! I've read much of the page now and it is fascinating.

Gwern on that smpy site what does the O-like character next to certainty: log mean?

I'm viewing on chrome from an Android device.

I'm trying to figure out what your certainty on smpy is.

Also thank you for your site. I read your n back analysis some years ago and found it to be very interesting.

We haven't tried Dragon Box. Thank you for the recommendation, we will check it out

Cultivating that passion is an art. A modern tool which I've found great to let my kids grow their math ability is the game Prodigy Math. Worth checking out - it's fun (do math to gain spellcasting ability in the game) and gently pushes the envelope of what they can do. It emails parents with details on what math problems the child didn't get right and with sample exercises to address those areas. I have no connection to them other than being a customer.

By then perhaps it will be possible to continue with local LLMs

Yes the circumstances are well known. Li Liu convinced Munger and Munger talked to Buffett.

Would you have any standard prompts you could share which ask it to make a draft with you'd want (eg unit tests etc)?

It seems to have a clock so it doesn't turn on at night?

Can you setup entra authentication with PgAdmin? I'm more of a MS Sql person so I don't know, but if not the security improvement from this would be a huge improvement

I would be curious about context window size that would be expected when generating ballpark 20 to 20 tokens per second using Deepseek-R1 Q4 on this hardware?

The evidence is mixed, but some studies (e.g. Jaeggi) did find transfer effects from n back training to fluid intelligence.

It only takes 40 mins a day for 8 weeks to test it out. Much less time than the commitment to learn a new language.

Having tried it, I wouldn't be surprised if the mixed results were due to improper adherence and misunderstanding of how n back works by some study participants. In other words, I think it's possible that results would be less mixed for someone who is already starting from a point of solid intelligence and who is driven enough to put in the hard,focused work to get to higher n back levels.

I see in another comment thread you mentioned downloading the VM iso, presumably from a central source. Your comment in this thread didn't mention that so perhaps this answer (incorrectly) assumes the VM you are talking about was locally maintained/created?

Very cool of you to take on board feedback.

In relation to user experience on first try...I just wanted to test it out for 30 second to see if it's worth keeping. I haven't tested now, will have to wait until I get an hour free later because there are a few roadblocks. - You require email and password registration and to click a verification link. Not too bad - When first launched the app asks you to allow mic permissions by clicking settings. However in Hooper settings on Android there is no mic permissions option. Bad. - You require 5gb free to use the product at all. Understandable given storage is required for video but how about reducing that so users can do like a 30-second test for first use? That way they don't have to spend an hour going through their phone's media to see what they want to keep and what they can delete.

You'd be amazed at how many people (like me lol) have almost full storage on their device most of the time.

Edit: oh....it's not a setting for mic permissions, it's a general permissions setting and if you touch that you can add additional permissions. Based on the text of the popup I hadn't guessed that was the right place to look and I hadn't realised it was possible to add permissions by touching that area of the settings menu.

Cool but offence is only half the story! Any plans to add defensive stats or stuff like turnovers / steals etc?

Also any plans to make it work from camera footage e.g. A 360 camera that can capture the whole court at once instead of syncing?

Wow that's terrible. I'm curious as to whether your contract with them allows for meaningful compensation in an event like this or is it just limited to the price of the software?

For the childrens' sake I hope so. Parental accumulated tech debt from not keeping up with developments is stressful to deal with!

Looking around though I think it's going to depend on what industry parents are in. There's still a lot of cluelessness around even among people who have grown up in an era of computers.

Yes methodology here seems suspect. Also: Activity levels were self reported. Could just be that early stages of dementia cause individuals to forget - either that they exercised or to exercise or to report.

Could you please expand on what that is?

Due to defence keeping them from strategic targets. Same reason large parts of human wars today occur in trenches in the middle of nowhere (witness Ukraine).

Do you inspect the files manually or with a tool if you download from unofficial sources as a verification?

Ctrl C plus ctrl V is copying. Why assume that no verification, testing or checking came after that though?

Why do you jump to the conclusion that they didn't read and internalise it after they copied it? That would be stupid and most on here are not stupid.

I think you may have the wrong definition of fitness.

>>although I think she was often the only competitor in her age bracket :)

Of course... She still outcompeted her peers, they were just so far behind her that they couldn't even show up :)

Historically equal weighted indices haven't almost always underperformed according to the article. Actually the recent unusual divergence is a focus of the article. They note that historically the divergence is -0.17%, i.e. the opposite of always underperforming.

In fact, coming at investing from a fundamental/business perspective where one is seeking to buy companies at as low a valuation as possible relative to earnings, equal weighting should systematically tilt more toward cheaper companies which should have slightly higher expected return. Market cap weighting tilts towards companies like nvidia whose valuation is ballooning.

Is this why people elsewhere in this thread are saying that a bios update can brick a machine which uses bitlocker? I guess if a user doesn't have the key saved, a bios update would result in a request for the decryption key that can't be satisfied?

Yes I cannot believe CZ avoided jail time.

Check the Reuters investigative pieces on CZ and Binance from 2022. They had plenty to fine him with before SBF's testimony.

I actually can't believe he didn't get jail time given the severity of what was uncovered.
