How were Muslims treated? I don't remember anything other than isolated incidents.

That email he sent you... boy, the last paragraph is such a gem of persuasion.

To my naive brain, the rules seem to be:

- it's okay when Side A goes after Assange (a journalist) for possessing classified material. Also, Side A encourages journalists in certain countries to do exactly what Assange did.

- it's not okay when Side B goes after journalists aligned with Side A

Elaborate, please? (The excerpt that ended up in the book.)

The "people acknowledge my existence, people hold the door for me" is not about them being idiots. It's Scott arguing that women have it easy compared to men (which may or may not be true, feminists will disagree).

You write beautifully. I decided to click on your other comments and found the same. Rare combination of high-density, high-impact vocabulary, and yet high-clarity.

If you could share any links to DNRC related content, I'd love to see it. Can't find anything online, just broken links.

Maybe they'll finally find the nuclear device lost on Nanda Devi, that has the potential to - *checks notes* - poison North India (via the glacier that feeds the Ganges).

Ah, that makes sense. Economies of scale. Thanks.

This is fascinating, because from what I've heard, Warren Buffett did not favor tech stocks. Does anyone know what gave Buffett the faith that this company was a real deal?

Question:

Can a model's weights be hard-coded into a physical chip for cheap fast local AI?

Do you think the dimension reduction is necessary? Or is it just practical (due to current hardware scarcity)?

Thank you.

Haven't watched it yet...

...but, if you have favorite resources on understanding Q & K, please drop them in comments below...

(I've watched the Grant Sanderson/3blue1brown videos [including his excellent talk at TNG Big Tech Day '24], but Q & K still escape me).

Thank you in advance.

What breath work do you do every week please?

Reason why I'm asking: the book contains many techniques, and I'm curious about what's working best for people.

I would claim (to an FTC lawyer) that they might be doing it (double-sending) on purpose to get me to buy my library again (after they cancel it).

Might be worth trying.

Since the article mentioned enjoyment of calculus,

Anyone got content suggestions or a syllabus I can use to learn to "enjoy" calculus?

I understand the basics, what it is for, chain rule, power rule, product rule... but still, no joy.

"worldwide hit"

Please make white peoples'* astroturfing great again.

* I include Ashkenazi Jews in this category, in case anyone cares.

Google is your friend. Also AI.

Any other Indians/Hindi-speakers here think that "giannandrea" has an uncanny association with "gyanendra"?

anime waifus?

ref: "the new tobacco"

this last year i'm seeing very concerning behavior in students in the 14-20 range. complete addiction to their phones. very deep interests in things i was completely unaware that they existed. similar to how when i started noticing anime girlfriends/waifus in 2016.

about 40% are deep in discord communities where i literally cannot figure out a single sentence of what they're talking about.

if society doesn't do something, and soon, say goodbye to the cognitive ability of a large chunk of future generations.

Bridges?

In the future, when humans die, their neurons will be sold and repurposed in local AI's.

Does KDE Connect still require both devices to be on the same network?

That's why I never got around to using it. Hoping it's changed. If Syncthing can share across networks, why not something else?

Why is it still so dodgy to share my clipboard between my cheap brand (i.e. non-Pixel) 4-year old Android phone and my Windows 11 PC? It's a failure on both Google's and Microsoft's part.

Someone (maybe Charlie Munger) said that the presence of a woman he has lust for reduces a man's IQ by 20 points.

Seems anecdotally true.

> Younger people tend to have nihilistic ideas

One of the strangest phenomena (to me) is the phenomenon of young people stealing cars, then driving them around in circles, in the middle of some city no less, until they burn out and catch fire. Apparently it's fun for some. They're called "street takeovers".

So, no answer?

Thanks. I've tried SingleFile. I made some backups using the Chrome Extension. I was unable to open them a couple of years later. So I abandoned it.

Will try karakeep.
