I feel like the fact that ML has no good explanation why it works this well gives a lot of people room to invent their head-canon, usually from their field of expertise. I've seen this from exceptionally intelligent individuals too. If

Don't we all experience this from time to time? When I'm focused on solving some mathematical problems I'm not thinking in words, but in concepts. When you are thinking of words you also think of a concept, the only differenc

My experience is mostly with gpt-4. Act like it is a beginner programmer. Give it small, self-contained tasks, explain the possible problems, limitation of the environment you are working with, possible hurdles, suggest api functions or lan

WPA2 also had an exploit (KRACK) while the handshake algorithm itself was "proven to be secure". Formal verification is a powerful tool but it does not guarantee bug-free code: it merely guarantees that the particular bugs you che

Based on response times it probably just uses caching for some answers and has limited token/second toward chatgpt so it gives an error sometimes if you ask a question that needs to be forwarded.

I'm running models locally on my 3090 and it's fast enough, although for example building a vector database can take a while. I can run LoRa training but I haven't done anything meaningful with it so far. I chose 3090 because

One possible explanation is that Putin wants to prevent a possible rival from winning over oligarchs by promising to make agreement with the eu. Many oligarchs are losing a lot of money on this war and it is likely that a coup that replaces

It would even decrease the value of their property to no fault of their own. That sounds like something the manufacturer should be responsible for.

The entangled photons can't detect the interruption alone, you need the message too. If you are interested how I suggest watching Veritasium's video about Bell's theorem as a start. The cryptographic method is called Ekert pr

Quantum entanglement cannot be used to transmit information but can be used to check if the message was interrupted, so it's still important for quantum cryptography. (I'm just a programmer but had a course quite some time ago on

While the framework of differentiation between intranational and international interests fits, it is certainly not "for the good of the people" in this case. Orban antagonized the EU because it was unlikely that he would be punish

The hungarian leading party (fidesz) has already declared they will not veto Ukrain's adoption to the EU so I personally really doubt they would veto Finland's entry to the NATO. They are playing a double-game (sorry, this probabl

Videos usually had about 10% of the number of votes compared to views, so depending on how you define (vast) majority it is correct.

I remember watching some video and looking at dislikes: why is this downvoted this much? Pretty run of the mill video with nothing outrageous or even particularly controversial. Oh it got posted _there_... Still, I don't think this is

I just want to point out the irony in falling back to good old centralized fintech companies to actually use the supposedly decentralized currency. Sorry, I know, off-topic.

Source? I've seen this claim many times but is it just a feeling or is there at least a whistleblower?

These were my exact thoughts about CS vs Quake back in the days. Quake had no downtime, all action while CS had time between rounds or just tense moments without anything actually happening. I think this dynamic was an important point behin

Well, if you collect commits on a feature branch you can just create a new one with a slightly different name - all the commits on your branch are rewritable before you push it in and create a pull request (deleting and pushing it again wit

I call this argument "totalitarian democracy argument". Yes, NGOs and media are not democratic, nor family, corporations, etc... Not everything is and it is fairly obvious that if everything was controlled through the goverment (s

I think the book is still useful with all it's flaws, mainly because "overengineering code" is like exercising too much: sure, it happens to some and can be a big issue, but for the vast majority of people it's the oppos

If the recognition is done by autoencoder network as I suspect, then generative adversarial network could break it easily.

My guess would be that they trained an autoencoder network for facial recognition and they use the encoder part for fingerprinting and check images by the decoder part. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoencoder

Maybe the problem is not where we search for it. There is a theory that willpower is a limited resource [1]. If this theory is true, it means productivity hacks cannot work, because the problem is not in our weekends, it is in our weekdays:
