Carl Darling Buck (A Dictionary of Selected Synonyms in the Principal Indo-European Languages) and Julius Pokorny (Indogermanisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch) are just a few of the philologists who have posited this "dead water" hypothesis

It is probably not a substrate word, but more likely coming from "dead" water, as in not a moving river.

> because the Proto-Indo-European language arose in the landlocked steppes, it had no need for—and has no securely reconstructable word for—‘sea’.

No, it is mori, attested in marine, muir, maryadah, mal, morje, etc in farflung IE tongues today.

It is perhaps a blessing that the climate of the Papua lowlands makes the potato impossible to grow. While the potato would grow in the cooler highlands, this village to village transmission mechanism would not get the potato past the hot lowlands where plants would rot in the ground. The potato yields a lot more calories per hectare than the sweet potato, and when introduced to New Zealand, fueled massive wars.

Nominative determinism- first author's name "Mutlu Yıldız" means "happy star"

There's a well-known issue of "construct validity" in neuroscience.

It's not uncommon for cows to get a taste for chicken eggs and start seeking them out

Once a horse gets a taste for baby chicks, it's hard to convince them they aren't omnivorous.

> Well they have to destroy them after scanning, else it is a copyright violation.

I think this is the "an undercover cop has to tell you they are police if you ask them" of AI law

> The water thing

It’s amazing how Karen Hao managed to graduate from MIT without learning the difference between m^3 and L

Maybe she just liked giving people mysteries

Would this imply that the matrices should have dimensions of multiples of 40?

About 15% of the UK's land parcels are not in any land registry database, because recording there only became compulsory in 1990, so if an event like a sale/morgtage didn't happen to a property since then, it might not be registered. Regardless of the land registry, the ownership can still easily be proven.

Clearly they are batching reasoning inference in a few multiples of 512 tokens as a throughput optimization

> Zuckerberg knows that threatening Wynn-Williams for standing in wooden silence on a stage makes him look like history's most guillotineable billionaire.

That might be a bit generous to assume that he has this theory of mind

> only my friends' status updates

I think that is the Feed's tab, though I have not used the blue app in a long time

hellottec is down but a cdn mirror of the product: https://ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/tesancdn/hellottec/2_BH_...

The real problem with Magnifica Humanitas is that it will be impossible to produce the first sentence of the canonical Latin version in which the first two words are "Magnifica humanitas" but carries the same meaning as the first sentence in the English version published.

It's amazing how Karen Hao's (Empire of AI) confusion of cubic meters with liters of water for datacenters continues to get amplified, even after this error was publicly revealed.

> The Wikimedia Foundation closed last fiscal year with $208.6 million in revenue. It holds $296.6 million in reserves, 17.1 months of operating expenses.

The actual physical cost of hosting Wikipedia is < $5 million per year.

Yes. We are cladistically more related to a goldfish than it is to a shark.

> First, “seed oils” is a marketing term, not a nutritional category.

"Seed oils" (commonly used cooking oils extracted from plant seeds excluding coconut) are as valid of a construct as "reptiles" (quadrupeds excluding aves and mammals) or "fish" (vertebrates excluding quadrupeds)

No, I meant Iranic. Pashtun and Parsi "Dari" speakers are canonically Iranic ethnic groups.

It would not be that stunning, given that a much poorer Iranic country decisively defeated the U.S. in a ~20 year war ending only a few years ago.

Truly a case where the old word polytropōs applies.

It is this compound https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39106304/

Any quarters and dimes he would have received in change would have been about 90 per cent silver.

Apple normally just does prepayment for capacity- funding the capital for the production line they need

Gen X and Millenials don't share Boomers' obsession with green lawns, so it's a race against time, whether Boomers or lightning bugs will go extinct first

Don't inference servers like vllm or sglang just translate these things to openai-compat API shapes?
