It's very clear what's happening: they're passing it through a writing tool that has an "Auto-improve" feature the users click. This would do the naive, pre-LLM, trick of taking "repetitive" vocabulary and

I don’t understand how this would work. If you’re using Git and you branch off ‘stable’, you won’t be able to merge to ‘trunk’ unless you rebase to pick up all of its changes. If a commit were to be reverted in the trunk now you need to rev

Thank you. This sounds like a great approach! I’ve also been surprised at the mechanical nature that git resolves conflicts in, and the loss of intent when auto-merging.

Yeah, just switch to level 1 in the level switcher! You should be able to go thru them all by just clicking next puzzle after that

What's your workflow if I may ask? I've been interested in the idea as well.

There were unusual elements characteristic of the decay chain following a fission. After a U-235 atom undergoes fission, one of the outcomes is it releases Barium and Krypton (and some neutrons), which then eventually decay to stable/s

Yeah, I would say the y-axis range on charts should be set at "3-sigma likelihood of observation" thresholds. Not everything that's charted can be framed as sampling from a distribution, but the principle of manually setting

What's your outlook on work green-card timelines for the next 2 years, esp. given the recent change in administration?

This is not at all true, I recommend you look into the exact meaning of "legal standing".

I don't really buy this. An equivalent economic policy would be if Europe and India were both allowed to buy oil, but capped at India's current amount (let's say 20% of pre-war baseline). Perhaps this can be called a "fr

Perhaps set a timeout on the operation then? Given this is kernel it's not as easy as userspace, but I'm sure you could request to set a interrupt on a timer.

Heap sort can sort n elements with O(1) auxiliary data while quick sort (which is what libcxx usually relies on) in its worst-case performance would require storing O(n) stack frames. Since stack sizes are usually small, an adversary making

Bing has generally made money for Microsoft. Search is just so valuable -- look at Google and how it built a whole conglomerate of loss leaders around it.

But then your LB is a single point of failure! Even if you were to spin up duplicate copies of the LB that could be failed-over-to in real time, there is still the drawback that you are bounded by the number of requests you can store on a s

I speak a Slavic language spoken by ~2 million people, and I asked GPT-4 to tell me an old fable in my language. It did so fantastically, with no grammatical errors. I tried some more things -- it speaks it fluently, though admittedly not a

Tip: if you are like me and can't help but play games that are elaborate loading screens that sap your productivity, try using cheats. It gets rid of the pull to play fast once you jump through all the content.

Considering that human lives are at stake, shrugging at the issue is not a good solution. I think two solutions are 1) criminal liability for drivers disabling safety features that endanger others (e.g. on traffic stops) and 2) adversariall

If your ability to make money off something is based on a pump-and-dump (or more fittingly, dump-and-pump) scheme, then you are either committing securities fraud or ending up in a lengthy legal battle over securities fraud.

I mean if they're going to act (or rather, seem) malicious then they might as steal the backed assets they have right now rather than hope to pump-and-dump enough to make more money. It's not like either is more legal than the oth
