Right. Traditional projection TVs have reflective screens - your eyes are getting photons that have bounced off of something already, making them less bright and lower contrast. Thing is still an emissive screen tho. The white photons from the projector are filtered by the LCD but then head right out to your eyes without bouncing off of anything else. This keeps the color gamut very high, and the projector only lighting up the pixels that need to be lit keeps the contrast very high (like an oLED)

Duolingo. My whole family has caught the bug. I hear the little ba-ding! noise from all corners of the house all evening long.

Y todavía no puedo hablar bien español 😕

So with no new US weapons in sight does that mean restrictions on HIMARS not being used on targets inside Russia are also no longer enforced?

I’m with you 100% from the privacy and cybersecurity perspectives. That said, if they can be solved (e.g. at some point there will simply be no need for any more training data, and computers will be fast enough to do all the fancy stuff locally), I’d vastly prefer having an appliance do my housekeeping chores than a cleaning service.

This is basically the idea behind Integrated Information Theory, where even quantum particles have some nominal amount of “consciousness” because they interact with and affect their environment.

Use the Meta defense: as long as you don’t seed then it’s fine.

Mattia Astorino’s ‘Material Theme – Free’ and  'Material Theme Icons – Free‘ plugins for anyone curious.

Ah, see, that’s why I like it. It’s like Christmas in my mouth.

I’ve been carrying the same profile back and forth between Linux and windows for probably 15 years. Just copy the whole directory over. You can start Firefox with I think —profile manager and point your profile to the new folder.

You can actually touch the bladder part, but the tentacles pack a punch. I’ve been stung twice including once when I stepped on one on the beach. It’s like a horrible combination of fire and electricity. 0/5 do not recommend.

Look at the diversity of that group!

Is that the one from Costco? I sat in something very similar there last week.

I like it for content discovery, but it feels weird to upvote bot posts. When I see something interesting enough to comment on I do try to see if there’s a similar article in a better community already or make cross-post.

Very slowly.

I doodle incessantly. Like whole pages that are 20% notes, 80% doodles. I had a teacher in middle school who got mad because it seemed like I was constantly distracted (true) and had me stop, but then discovered it was 10x worse if I was not doing something with my hands. Meanwhile my most recent boss looked over at my pad during our first in-person meeting and said, “ah, so you have ADHD too?”

Have you had any luck importing even a medium-sized codebase and doing reasoning on it? All of my experiments start to show subtle errors past 2k tokens, and at 5k tokens the errors become significant. Any attempt to ingest and process a decent-sized project (say 20k SLOC plus tooling/overhead/config) has been useless, even on models that “should” have a good-enough sized context window.

Yes, that’s a valid distinction. Though practically speaking, I don’t really know how different it is from anthropic sharing with Amazon, for example

Gee I wonder if grok shares data with the rest of twitter, Gemini shares with the rest of google or llama… actually I haven’t used Facebook in ages, I don’t even know if there’s a ChatGPT equivalent service on Facebook.

I do actually wonder if Anthropic shares data with Amazon, or OpenAI with Microsoft (their majority shareholders). That would be a direct 1:1 comparison with what’s happening between deepseek and bytedance (though at least in the latter case you can host-your-own since the model is open source).

My desk is littered with post-it notes and papers, as the act of writing something down is usually what helps to “lock” it into my memory for a time. Unfortunately due to the ridiculous number of to-dos I usually have at any given time it makes me look like some kind of crazy note-hoarder.

Was going to say “Muppet”, but yours is better!
