> I've found that this way you can get many of the stability pros of using an atomic distro even on a non-atomic one. Digression, but I’m curious since you brought it up: Are you saying that Silverblue-based distros are noticeably

Very interesting link. I am now confused and intrigued that the trademark for "heroin" is listed as being revoked as part of the Treaty of Versailles after WWI.

IANAL either, but could this be a trademark issue? My understanding is that if you don’t defend your trademarks you risk legally losing them.

Not really. It's not peer reviewed, but it's also not a free-for-all repository. If you make a new account, you either have to get someone to vouch for you, or you have to wait arXiv mods to look carefully through your first few p

Do you have a source for that? My experience has been that people with ADHD are rather underrepresented , the ones who are overrepresented are rather hyper-extroverts that sometimes present similarly, but that do not have the same impulse

Taken literally, you’re claiming that only 80 people on Earth would notice. Maybe a tenth of that if we narrow down what is meant by «consumer». I assume you don’t really believe that?

Probably no, because according to quantum mechanics, photons are indistinguishable in a way that affects experiments.

Sounds wonderful. I remove my shoes in the office as well, since not doing so has led to health issues in the past, but it’s not so hygienic when everyone from colleagues to cleaning staff visit your office with their shoes on. (Where I liv

I also don’t commit files by accident. Just don’t `git add *` as some people do, and check `git status` before committing, and then you’re good.

In the political sense, «Western Europe» is typically taken to be «NATO Europe», and «Eastern Europe» is «Warsaw Pact Europe». Which is different from a strict geographic definition.

That sounds somewhat applicable to many tools. Like Vim/Emacs, for example. Or computers and smart phones in general.

Seems legitimate to me. Did you find any technical error?

Ah yes, indeed, the well-known point-cow approximation!

In some countries it is, to some extent. In Norway for example, it is illegal to broadcast ads for political parties, alcohol, tobacco, plus basically any ads specifically targeting children (though the last one is often violated).

More or less the same as social media but for agents, perhaps? When I want to book an airline ticket in the future, I expect my LLM agent to contact the airline LLM agent, and the two to discuss options and negotiate a deal on my behalf.

Not yet, as far as I know, but perhaps someone will find a way to do that in the future. We're talking about the next two decades here, a lot can happen in that time. DNA itself can be thought of as a language which describes proteins,

I disagree with this take. While LLMs themselves are currently unreliable, the work done in the math community on hooking up creative LLMs to reliable verifiers like Lean show that it’s possible to construct systems where the unreliability

The issue at hand isn’t people using AI to make some app that they and their mom will use. That’s awesome. It’s people who insist that potentially millions of other people should be affected by their vibe-coded stuff too, by upstreaming it

Are you using the 31 release or prerelease? The mode was changed to experimental right before release. Just FYI, I think the comment you replied to is by the author of the mode and an upstream Emacs contributor, so I would assume their inst

Well, yeah. I also wouldn’t like to explain to my family why my emoji is more important than being set for life.

Given that most measures of intelligence follow nearly normal distributions (as long as you stay away from the tails), I think it doesn’t matter that much.

Sounds better to do postprocess filtering explicitly? For example, adding random noise with amplitude 1/255 (which should be as invisible as the watermark), followed by a smart blur that blurs more in directions where the colors are mo

So any mail to anyrandomstring@yourdomain.com is actually received? Sounds like something that works great when only you do it, but might quickly be abused if it catches on?
