Are there any known ways to undo the compression? Assuming no clipping, the process should be reversible, right?

I can recommend https://noai.duckduckgo.com . It works pretty well.

Do you know a good reference to learn more about this (quantizing weigths to 1.58 bits, and trit arithmetic)?

The compiler is open-source and can be run locally. You need an account if you want to use their web editor, which is nice (it shows error messages where they occur along with an explanation and link to docs, and also shows a real-time upda

I have to use a Windows laptop for work; it was migrated to Windows 11 a few months ago. Win 11 is definitely, measurably worse than Win 10, at least in the configuration that my employer's IT forces on the machine. One example is that

I think the best vertical tabs implementation in firefox is Sidebery. The use of "panes" to group tabs is brilliant. Older versions were buggy, but version 5 has been rock solid for me. https://github.com/mbnuqw&#x

I think it's interesting that human minds generally (though not always!) improve when exposed to the output of other human minds. It seems to be the opposite for current LLMs.

Besides, it's not just about profit. Retail is where they abuse workers, so it makes sense not to do business with that part of the company.

I think this paragraph on the difficulty of building good independent indexes should not be overlooked. What's going on with Cloudfare? > When talking to search engine founders, I found that the biggest obstacle to growing an index

I agree with you; I've noticed the same thing. It seems many niche or small markets are being abandoned in favor of the larger ones.

Absolutely. In my experience teaching in college, this is the correct approach. A very useful thing to have, both for teachers and students, is a "rubric": a succinct description of how the work will be evaluated, and the importan

There have been many links to the SciAm article and to rebuttals and opinions about it. Popular media articles and obituaries that get it right should also be linked to and promoted; e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/environm
