The writing style is this staccato LLM-like style that is difficult to read as it has zero flow and meaningless sentences. Like what does the second sentence even mean? Is it even a sentence? "The roofline math, the prompt-processing c

It's extremely feasible. English is the defacto language of most research in the EU. I spent some time in Italy during my masters degree and know lots of people who have gone on to research or university instructor jobs in various coun

isn't this just a by-product of seed hybridization which has enabled pretty much all of modern agriculture? A lot of testing goes into finding the two strains that combine together to create high-yield seeds, but the next generations o

It's a cool technology, but for it to gain commercial interest it needs to solve a problem better than the status quo. What problem is it solving and for who? If I was to buy that mmwave radar device it would probably cost more than th

Just because the US sanctions a country, doesn't mean the rest of the world needs to as well. As a Canadian we traded with Cuba even when the US had an embargo on them.

This would be great for other use cases too like climbing bolts and anchors in coastal areas. Lots of areas are switching to titanium glue-ins which are expensive, but I wonder if this could enable more affordable option. A climber recently

The other concerning aspect of this leak is the fact that the list was shared with a group of separatists, and the data on the list is basically everything you need to fraudulently sign someone up for the separatist referendum petition. Som

A good analogy for equal temperament might be the Gregorian calendar, as a year does not evenly divide perfectly into 365 days. So in order to compensate for that we adjust the calendar by a leap year every so often to make the calendar mor

I was also wondering this, and in one of the footnotes they say "Given that our experiment was conducted in 2025, one might wonder whether Kansas’ updated law is reflected in GPT’s training data and thus skews its decisions. We find no
