I feel the same a lot of the time. I get so excited when I have something to say.

My Mom recently had brain surgery and was recovering. Her machine would go off all the time and it took forever for a nurse to come buy and fiddle with it. I would joke to my Mom that it probably meant she was dying. Those beeps were so annoying. If anything, they should be beeping in the nurse's control area. It seems ridiculous it has to beep loud enough for a nurse down the hallway to hear it when it never seemed to be anything urgent or dangerous. Certainly, no one came running.

This would be a great companion tutorial to a text book. I loved the animations and the interactive animations. It could use some proofreading, however.

My ex girlfriend's family used to have their cat litters right next to the kitchen table. Any bad behavior or decisions I've made since then I'm going to blame on her and my "taxoplasmosis".

Because it’s always going to be there, and it does the one thing I actually need it to no matter what: Let me run multiple shells at once, without SSHing in multiple times, regardless of whatever funky terminal emulator I’m actually using to get the job done.

I'm confused. Couldn't you just open a new tab to do this? Or just alias your shhing to a 4 stroke alias like "sshg"?

This is really cool. I would love to have that power of typing my handwriting.

It is obvious he partied all night after a late shoot. "I took a sleeping pill and it didn't kick in until now" is just a polite way of saying partying was more important to me than this commercial. The man was a known alcoholic.

Pretty insane for the writer or even China/Russia to believe the US, with all of its resources, wouldn't be able to make their own accurate maps.

This article is shameless weak justification for Russian/China purposely breaking their maps.

This is eerily similar to the privacy argument "well I don't do anything wrong so I have nothing to worry about". The problem is you don't decide what should be hidden and what should be available, the state does, and things can change quickly. Having said that, it would be easy to change your security settings as known security threats become apparent.

Checking receipts causes a long line backed up to the registers on busy days, like holidays. Stopping the checking of receipts doesn't magically get all these people with carts through the doors, especially during a stampede. It is a clear hazard.

At Costco, when it is really busy, it can be a real fire hazard with people lined up just have someone pretend to audit your cart and then cross off your receipt. It is insane they can get away with abusing their customers like that.

If I was a pilot on one of those planes I would immediately get off the runway because clearly the air controllers are confused/incompetent. They can tow the plane back.

You cherry picked one sentence and stripped away the entire context and meaning of my post.

If you understand the systems that manifest a mental illness then you can treat it more directly with medicine, you can test for the mental illness directly with physical sampling. We've already seen this shift from psychology to medicine with the invention of anti-depressants. Less people are seeking counsel from psychologists and instead just getting a prescription from their doctor. While the systems and even antidepressants aren't fully understood we have seen the shift away from psychology due to advances in treating the physical biological system. Simply projecting this natural trend to its limit is not reductionist IMO.

This conundrum reminds me of a thought experiment. You have people use a mental illness as a defense in courts of law. But could you not plausibly define anyone who commits major crimes to be mental ill? Mental illness could also be defined by a person's ability to function in their community and social constructs. But a healthy species, evolutionary speaking, requires these outliers. These deviations from the "norm" offer the species a safety net should conditions change rapidly. Should we really be trying to herd everyone back to a norm?

Also, psychology is a dying profession. A mental illness is described as a set of symptoms manifested from physical biological systems we don't fully understand yet. But once understood, psychology becomes obsolete.

I'm confused who this article is for. From the title it seems it is aimed for people just approaching LLMs but then the first sentence ... "Latent embeddings are essentially conceptual groupings of related tokens within a language family." There is nothing intuitive about that sentence.

They said "strong focus" which implies there is a spectrum of focus and that everything falls on that spectrum of focus. I disagree that any amount of focus precludes any focus on something else, especially in this context.

On second thought, a camera can only focus on one field. So it would make sense if our language only allowed one focus. But what if we had multiple cameras? Or multiple teams or engineers designing a bridge?

Have we gone too far? lol

I now know what a cow magnet is.

Right? I had all 3 open and quickly flipped over them saw no difference. Maybe I'm just uncultured.

I read an article a while ago that showed a correlation between the violent crimes per capita and how close to the equator that country was. Basically, the hotter the climate, the more crime.

In a movie, he was killed by foreign state actors, and his identity assumed by the foreign state hacker. Actually, someone should check on him.
