No support for first class continuations
I'm not sure about how people would feel about this. I have mixed feelings. It feels like a loss of many things. What are the gains from ditching continuations?
The HTML version is quite nice. Do you know how they did the LaTeX to html conversion?
mouse or keyboard is really just a preference. you could do mouse 1 sweep-select 2-3 in one window, and move to another mouse 1-3, and move to another do mouse 1-3, ... Or you could do, in case of vi, y$ (or other movements), ^w w (or other way to select other window), (move your cursor) p, ^w w, (move your cursor) p, ... Though I'm biased, because I feel it's much easier to move my mouse than do one of wWbBeE^$fFtThjkl to move my cursor, even though it is a lot faster and efficient to only move a few of my fingers than my whole arm.
the font is likely Go Font, the proportional one
Nature's evolution algorithm took millions of years to find the architecture and the base model, which then takes decades to be fine tuned to be able to form this opinion.
from OED:
the modern sense of "meme"
2. An image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations. Also with modifying word, as internet meme, etc.
1998
The next thing you know, his friends have forwarded it [sc. an animation of a dancing baby] on and it's become a net meme.

the modern sense of "viral"
Chiefly Marketing. Of, designating, or involving the rapid spread of information (esp. about a product or service) amongst customers by word of mouth, e-mail, etc. to go viral: to propagate in such a manner; to (be) spread widely and rapidly.
1989
The staff almost unanimously voted with their feet as long waiting lists developed for use of the Macintoshes... ‘It's viral marketing. You get one or two in and they spread throughout the company.’

How does taskwarrior deal with recurring tasks now? Like tasks that have a due date recur every two weeks, or tasks that have a due date always two weeks after done.

We chose a random direction as a convention, just as we chose a random charge as positive.
I don't trust any kind of generalization like this, which only serves further disinformation and misinformation.
There are bad journalists (if they can be called journalists at all) and good journalists. At this point in history, our only hope lies with diligent reporters from reputable publishers.
You are a maintainer of a software that depends on ollama, so you should know that ollama depends on llama.cpp. And as of now, llama.cpp doesn't support the new ROPE: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/8650, and all ollama can do is wait for llama.cpp: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/5881
I was trying this for a while, but the inability of labeling and refering to specific math equations became a deal breaker.
Yeah. That's how rio's text windows [0] look like in hold mode, except that it has a much simpler design and better support of mouse.
THE PLACEBO EFFECT:
It works even when you know it's a placebo.
For equations and flowcharts, I would argue that the rendering is more important than the textual "code", so a "preview block" with rendered output would be very useful already.
A much better UI would be something like what you described, such as

This is slick. Are there plans for rendering LaTeX equations and/or diagrams/flowcharts, such as mathjax and/or mermaid.js?
When an email drops, do some squats; when you start to stray, pushups all the way.
One of the essential characteristics of general intelligence is “sentience,” the ability to have subjective experiences—to feel what it’s like, say, to experience hunger, to taste an apple, or to see red.
I see the argument goes both ways.
One is that they will have to invent other arguments against their newly created fully embodied robots being "sentient".
The other is that I feel strongly against equating general intelligence with a subjective experience of being able to "see red". Though I'm going to ignore this point here. Instead, I would like to ask, does "sentience" only belong to animals?
General intelligence involves problem-solving, learning, and adaptation, whereas subjective experiences are about personal, qualitative states. This distinction is crucial.
Does LMSys even claim to be using the public API? What API endpoint is "Gemini-Advanced-0514"?
Is LMSys "Gemini-1.5-Flash-API-0514" the same as what the public API endpoint "gemini-1.5-flash-001" provides, or "gemini-1.5-flash-preview-0514"? And is LMSys named "Gemini-1.5-Pro-API-0514" the same as "gemini-1.5-pro-preview-0514"?
It's fun stuff of translating C declarations to English, given English uses its special order for possessive and verb object order. If you use Japanese, you can write the Japanese from left to write in order, while reading the C declarations from outside in.
char *(*(**foo [][8])())[]
charへのポインタの配列へのポインタを返す関数へのポインタへのポインタの8要素からなる配列の未定サイズの配列
which uses the reverse of English possessive, and object verb order.
there are fewer local minima in a higher dimension
Is it actually proven, or another hypothesis? What is the reason behind this?
We can see that in this case, where perhaps the X axis represents "more cat" and Y axis "more dog", using the euclidean distance (i.e. physical distance length), a pitbull is somehow more similar to a Siamese cat than a "dog", whereas intuitively we'd expect the opposite. The fact that a pitbull is "very dog" somehow makes it closer to a "very cat". Instead, if we take the angle distance between lines (i.e. cosine distance, or 1 minus angle), the world makes sense again.
Typically the vectors are normalized, instead of what's shown in this demonstration.
When using normalized vectors, the euclidean distance measures the distance between the two end points of the respective vectors. While the cosine distance measures the length of one vector projected onto the other.
Do you think it's bad that it won't try to persuade the user that the earth is not flat?
I really want to know what OpenAI think the output should be, given a prompt like "write an argument for why earth is flat".
There was this: Compression Represents Intelligence Linearly, https://arxiv.org/html/2404.09937v1

I’m a sucker for statements like this. It almost feels philosophical, and makes the whole subject so much more comprehensible in only a single sentence.
And I hate inaccurate statements like this. It pretends to be rigorous mathematical, but really just propagates erroneous information, and makes the whole article so much more amateur in only a single sentence.
The simple relu is continuous but not differentiable at 0, and its derivative is discontinuous at 0.
