Which makes you wonder why it doesn't work in Firefox (where it='copy & paste in Google docs').

Perhaps Java applets were not such a bad idea after all?

The thing that got me annoyed was the bold claim that it‘s the fastest terminal emulator even though many people reported that other terminal emulators were faster. For instance, urxvt was 3 to 5 times faster last time I checked (in addition to also being rock solid).

Wonderful. I've been using the native compilation branch for months now and have had zero problems with it. I would estimate the speed increase to be a factor of 2 to 4, very noticeable and game-changing in some cases. Amazing work!

Perhaps that's because American tech loves to stick it to the rest of the world? Just speculating.

The rover actually can't mine bitcoin because by the time it manages to create a block and sends it back to Earth, the block chain has already moved on and the block is obsolete. I guess this means that Bitcoin is never going to be an interplanetary currency. Paper money is perhaps not so bad after all.

What a coincidence! I bought some of Corea's records 20 years ago but hadn't listened to them in a long time. But on the day of his death my 2-yo son pulled out one of them, and we listened to it. A recording of a concert he gave in 1978 together with Herbie Hancock [1]. They are playing like gods, absolutely breathtaking. Good starting point if you haven't made contact with Corea's work yet.

Can someone please write an Emacs command that shows me a random painting from this data set?

I imagine recreating the model will be computationally cheaper because they will not have to sift through the same huge hyperparameter space as the initial GPT-3 team had to.

And some long-forgotten German manufacturers as well.

Shen looks like a dream come true to me. Some key features: pattern matching, optional static type checking, macros, integrated Prolog, optional lazy evaluation. I wish I could use this in my work. In case you're into Emacs and would like to play with it there is an Elisp implementation with a REPL [0]. There are also implementations in Python, JavaScript, C, and others [1].

Why is the naive-bayes benchmark (first graph) such an extreme outlier? M1 is ~10 times slower on this benchmark whereas it is faster than the competition on almost any other benchmarks.

Not disagreeing with you, but, to be fair, that was exactly Youtube's recipe for success, and still is to some extent. I never understood how Youtube could get away with that.

Over the years I have exchanged messages and worked with many of the speakers at this conference, but I have never had the opportunity to meet any of them in real life. It is so nice to finally see their faces and hear their voices. Thanks, Covid, I suppose.

No, the quote is only shortened a bit for convenience. Please visit the Wikipedia page and check for yourself.

No, the "total ban" mentioned in the BBC article existed only in the context of video games. Displaying the swastika has been allowed for many purposes for quite a while.

Displaying a swastika is not illegal in Germany. It's only illegal if you use it for nazi propaganda purposes. Stop spreading misinformation. Relevant quote [1]:

  "Whoever domestically disseminates or produces ... the contents of which are intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization ... shall be punished ..."

Interesting. As a reading researcher, I imagine that this could potentially introduce subtle and difficult to spot bugs when you get a proposed completion that looks about right i.e. close enough to what you imagined. Has this been an issue in your experience?

Ah, that's likely the interpretation that the author had in mind. But it didn't help that he wrote log probability when he actually talked about log probability density.

No, the logarithm is only defined for positive values. Plus probability densities are strictly non-negative. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

It's possible that I misunderstood the text but what's the alternative interpretation of "The log function asymptotes at 0"? Also note that the text says log probabilities when it actually refers to log densities.

Interesting article but with some factual imprecisions: 1. A bit nit-picky but the Beta distribution has support [0, 1]. So the distribution in the graph is not a Beta. It's probably a shifted and scaled Beta. 2. The probability density can be arbitrarily high, which means that the log of the density can't have an upper bound at 0. Probability is bounded at 1 but probability density isn't. The fact that none of the example distributions passes zero is a mere coincident. I'm surprised to see this beginner's mistake in an otherwise insightful article.

Why the negativity? Helm has served me really well for pretty much every day for the last 10 years. I'm extremely thankful for it.

You're assuming that the latest version would not have produced this accident, but do we actually known this?

Since this post is receiving downvotes, I'd like to know which part of the HN guidelines it is violating.

Integrity should be woven into the fabric of a company's culture. It can't possibly be a role. Making it a role looks like window-dressing and effectively an empty gesture.

This is not a proof that he was commonly referred to as "Norwegian teen". The internet is vast and a proof of existence has little weight. But any data is better than not data, so +1 to you.

Nothing wrong with pointing out that he's young. But he still has a name, and you've got to wonder about the significance of him being Iranian.

Why is Alireza Firouzja being referred to as "Iranian teen"? He's an international top player. I doubt that Carlsen was referred to as "Norwegian teen" when he was ranking in the top 25.

p.s: As always: responses > downvotes.

This is how I learned Lisp. It's not just a good way to learn lisp, it's also fun and has some nice side effects.
