noobcoder··on Credit report shows Meta keeping $27B off its books through advanced geometry
This isn't really about fooling lenders, they already underwrite this as Meta risk i feel. What is wild is how much economic substance you can legally shove into these non‑consolidated boxes, while GAAP still pretends form wins over who actually eats the downside

If this becomes the default template for AI capex, headline leverage stats for most of big tech are going to drift further and further away from their real balance sheets

noobcoder··on CS234: Reinforcement Learning Winter 2025
I have been using it to train it on my game hotlapdaily

Apparently AI sets the best time even better than the pros It is really useful when it comes to controlled environment optimizations

noobcoder··on I don't care how well your "AI" works
I see this play out everywhere actually be it code, thoughts, even intent, atomized for the capital engine. Its more than a productivity hack, its a subtle power shift decisions getting abstracted, agency getting diluted

Opting in to weirdness and curiosity is the only bug worth keeping which will eventually become a norm

noobcoder··on Sick: Indexed deduplicated binary storage for JSON-like data structures
it could be really useful for cases where youre repeatedly processing similar JSON structure like in case of analytical events but any plans for language bindings beyond the current implementation?

noobcoder··on OpenAI Acquires Rockset
Why so? At the end of the day its all business and talking about ethics That way most of the productivity or developer SaaS acquisitions would not happen since they are done by FANG only

noobcoder··on Gravitational Collapse of Spongebob
Correct me if i am not wrong they probably defining initial conditions for the particles (such as positions (to create the spongebob (althought I wish there was a way to convert an image to these n bodies), velocities, and masses) Then you set up the gravitational interactions between them and futher iteratively update their positions and velocities over time using some numerical integration method (Euler's method/Runge-Kutta method?) to simulate their motion
noobcoder··on Google Scholar search: "certainly, here is" -chatgpt -llm
One of my close friends (Ivy League guy) did the same with his PhD thesis on Siamese networks in improving robotic perception. With the final presentation upcoming, in 2-3 days he's got a whole polished thesis ready to go and even convinced his guide that this was what he was working on it since 3 months. He was recently offered a doctorate

I wonder how many people adeptly use GPTs and manage to navigate through their academic landscapes nowadays. I bet its majority

noobcoder··on Setris – Tetris with Sand Physics
The yellow section in the video dissolved a bit earlier than I anticipated, around 0:23, but I noticed that there are a few missing pixels on the left edge. It could be due to lower resolution or the need for clearer indications. Perhaps improving either the resolution or providing clearer visual cues, such as eliminating shaded edges on the border, could enhance the experience. But sitll, I find this variation of Tetris with sand elements to be quite fascinating and a unique twist on the traditional game. Great job bro!
noobcoder··on Paper Airplane Designs
is there a way to query it?
noobcoder··on DuckDB 0.8
The feature to register arbitrary Python functions as scalar functions within SQL queries is pretty insane. Writing custom functions to manipulate data in ways that aren't possible with SQL, basically without fetching all of it at once in memory and then applying. I hope thats the case
noobcoder··on Ask HN: Can someone ELI5 transformers and the “Attention is all we need” paper?
I had a blog on it on overview of it with codes and explanation (more like eli15): https://medium.com/analytics-vidhya/googles-t5-transformer-t...
noobcoder··on Petrucci Music Library
I have some things you can do with it for people who are getting into it newly: - Find sheet music for a wide variety of composers and genres, from Bach to Bartok. - Info about composers, including biographies, bibliographies, and discographies. - Info about musical works, including instrumentation, duration, and historical background. - A discussion forum

They also post updates on their blogs on whats new Also you can access it through an API as well

noobcoder··on Ask HN: Bypassing GPT-4 8k tokens limit
If you dont really have budget constraint. You could try compressing the transcript by sending it few sentences at once. You would need some sort of dependency parsing to check for the splits. Ask GPT to compress it. Keep doing that till you are under 8k tokens. Finally input the overall compressed transcript.
noobcoder··on What I learned unsubscribing from 22 newspapers
Man, the Boston Globe is way too expensive, but I'm still subscribed. After the marathon bombing, it hit me how crucial it is to have local reporters who aren't just on TV. Even though they get on my nerves sometimes, I keep shelling out the cash. I've lived in places where the last real paper shut down, and it's a massive loss that never gets replaced.
noobcoder··on A guide to prompting AI, for what it is worth
Yeah, while all the other stuff is important, prompts are a big deal, especially for generative image tasks. They need to be just right for the checkpoint, but if you nail it, you can get an awesome image straight away. Sadly, most people just give up too quickly.

But with ChatGPT, even if you give it a terrible prompt, it can still "get" what you're trying to say. You can keep chatting until you get the image you want. It's way easier than with Txt2img, which can be pretty unforgiving.

And those courses? Total scam, don't bother with them.

noobcoder··on Transformers from Scratch (2021)
I remember looking into this article. It was really helpful for me to understand transformers. Although the OP's article is detailed, this one is concise. Here's the link: https://blue-season.github.io/transformer-in-5-minutes
noobcoder··on OpenSSH versus SSH
I feel OpenSSH is more powerful overall. Its cryptographic key management allows users to generate and manage keys securely which useful for larger organisations, where managing a large number of keys can be challenging.
