Seems a bad idea to call it Sora given that it has nothing to do with OpenAI Sora (other than achieving a similar goal). Also a trademark violation probably.

If you actually want good compression, this is definitely not the proper way to go. The proper way to go is to compute all available moves on a given position, assign them a probability distribution and then perform arithmetic coding using

To support copy&paste all you need is a common format for 3D objects, like HTML is for 2D documents; glTF might be a reasonable candidate. The problem with the Apple approach is that there are no apps and games, and there probably won&#

It's very easy. The only issue is that GrapheneOS doesn't provide a built-in way to have root privileges and if you want root on your phone securely you will have to implement that yourself or use some third-party solution (e.g. b

I don't understand this. It seems that they: - Fail to properly position glyphs horizontally (they must obviously be aligned to pixels horizontally and not just vertically) - Fail to use TrueType bytecode instead of the autohinter - Fa

It would have to be introduced by making it default, so all existing generic items would have Move bound on all generic parameters. Only in a new edition the default can then be swapped.

This is very interesting when applied to thoughts and interiorized beliefs, as well as belief systems that purport to free you from those thoughts and beliefs.

I think the conjecture is that each expert of GPT-4 has 220B parameters, for a total of 1.76T parameters.
162.
by devit 3y ago
How is this possible? GPT-4 is supposed to be 8*220B = 1.7T parameters, so it seems unexpected that a 70B model can beat or match it unless it's somehow a much better algorithm or has much better data.

That's the same length. There is also "mov dil, 42".

by devit 3y ago
Note that the assembly code is suboptimal, since it wastes 4 bytes for each immediate. The optimal assembly code is this: "mov al, 42; xchg edi, eax; mov al, 60; syscall". Or just "mov al, 60; syscall" if you want to exi

Well, because any specific outcome from sampling a random distribution is indeed very unlikely. In practice, that means that if you have an alternate "non-random" or "less random" explanation for the data, you'll be

Rust uses all zero-cost abstractions except for bounds checking and integer overflow checking, so no language can be faster than Rust (assuming equal quality implementations) unless it either isn't memory safe or it can statically prov

I can't understand the article. If you want to encode video, use ffmpeg. Netflix serves static movies, so encoding is going to be relatively rare and can probably be done on whatever computing resources are already available. Quality-w

I think it would be really nice to have a "strict mode" (for app testing), where PostgreSQL returns an error if an index would improve the query asymptotically and it doesn't exist (only based on the query itself, not statist

Maybe they could test it on "tricky" positions where increasing the search depth on Stockfish dramatically changes the evaluation.

They could consider dropping Gecko in favor of Blink, which would save a lot of engineering resources that could be used to implement features instead of web compatibility, and would effectively guarantee that Firefox will be always strictl

Seems like it could also be Waymo going straight north, truck going straight south and bike going straight east passing just behind the truck (or rotations of this), since there seems to be just stop signs at the intersection.

They could make it a condition of doing business in the EU (which of course leaves Apple the option of pulling out from the EU). Not clear though whether they have any interest in doing that.

Anything statically linked to the C library will also have direct syscalls in the binary.

GrapheneOS with sandboxed Play Services seems unaffected. The Phone app doesn't seem to be able to view or open web URLs in contacts, and the Contacts app fails to open the two URLs given in the article in pinned mode.

It seems that a lot of basic information is missing in the review: 1. How does it compare to an high-end monitor for text editing/programming, web browsing, watching non-VR video, playing non-VR games? Is it better or not? 2. Is the re

Why does this have a cost? You can get street view images from maps.google.com for free, so a scraper should be able to use the same interface for free (as long as it's either not throttled, or you can get multiple IPs or don't ca
