And the Victorinox "Swiss Classic Picnic Knife", very sharp, good for slicing fruit, spreading hummus, cutting bread & cheese, etc. Also available serrated but I figured the straight edge would be more useful overall for spreading stuff on bread -- and it is, this lives in my lunch bag along side a Snow Peak Titanium Spork:
(shown here in Red and Black, but if you look around it's available in many other colors). I've found the Victorinox Fibrox line of knives to be a great affordable, high-quality option.
I'm not a lawyer but I thought GDPR didn't prevent that. It adds a lot of restrictions on how they can use those emails for how long, but not a complete ban on explicit sharing of emails.
If you read it very carefully, and then behave very carefully, you can comply with the law. Orrrrrr you can just not bother for your first pass, simply block the EU for now, and release it for them after you go and clean it up later.
Yup that's what's been happening with many models. US first and Europe comes a few months after once they double checked everything and made sure the paperwork is in order.
Easily circumventes with a VPN though, most just limit by location, not busy account data.
GDPR may not prevent it explicitly, but around the world GDPR has a chilling effect on many businesses, small and large, that often results in longer launch delays to covered countries while armies of lawyers double and triple check everything in fear of large fines.
Back in the 1990s politics were much less polarized. Nowadays, perhaps due to the WWW, polarization is so strong that a bipartisan collaboration on this matter is highly unlikely. I don't even know if the Democrats are in principle interested in shrinking the government.
>Back in the 1990s politics were much less polarized.
The 90s were the era of Gingrich and the "Contract With America" and the rise of figures like Rush Limbaugh. If you weren't around it was pretty bad back then too. Witness the enduring "the Clintons are LITERALLY an evil crime family" meme from then that persists to this day.
I think about the quote that "Only Nixon could go to China" and maybe there's a corollary that "Only Clinton could balance the budget". Similar to how Nixon had the anti-commie credentials to be able visit Mao's China, Clinton had the liberal credentials to be able to cut social spending. I don't think that the budget surplus that Clinton left us was all due to social spending cuts, but he did make significant cuts.
I'm really not a "the book is better than the movie" guy, but here I really think the movie isn't very good in comparison. It doesn't even have much to do with the book, and it loses all the intelligent humor of the original. The book is a very light short read and hilarious. The perfect introduction to Lem.
Author here: (1) We didn't remove the stddev term. (2) We use token-level loss (every token has the same weight), which is very similar to what Dr. GRPO does. However, we compute the mean gradient per token, while Dr. GRPO computes the sum. Typically, these are equivalent. However, since we're also doing gradient accumulation over micro-batches to reduce memory usage during training, this led to a bug in our implementation: it gives more weight to tokens in short sequences than to those in long sequences.
Interestingly, this is the same bug that most open-source LLM training frameworks (such as HF Trainer) had and only recently fixed.
In short, I'm working on a quick fix, after that, using sum or mean should yield equivalent results.
This might be "Memoirs Found in a Bathtub". It has the possible double and triple agents, but it takes place in some sort of underground Pentagon rather than in a mental hospital. It's similar to Kafka's "The Process".
There is also "Hospital of the Transfiguration", which takes place in a mental hospital, though I haven't read that one.
It’s a lovely piece, but maybe goes a bit too far in trying to paint Lem as some kind of human-form planet Solaris himself, failing to communicate with ordinary people. For example:
“These essays are the work of a lonely man. We can judge the fervor of Lem's attempt to reach out by a piece like ‘On the Structural Analysis of Science Fiction:’ a Pole, writing in German, to an Austrian, about French semantic theory. The mind reels.”
That just sounds like an ordinary letter for a 20th century European intellectual. Reading and writing in French and German was table stakes.
This comment is distinctly incurious. Sure, it doesn't have to be a clinical diagnosis but that's also kinda the point of talking about it so casually: it doesn't always have to rise to the level of a clinical diagnosis. Some people will not be satisfied with the "we're just nerds" explanation and that's okay too. (Indeed, obsessive weirdos, eh?)
Exactly. And noticing that you might have some degree of ASD, or the like, enables you to also to notice typical symptomatic weaknesses, aside from strengths. Which might not be obvious to you otherwise. Addressing a weakness is much easier once it is identified. ("weird nerd" is too vague a diagnosis)
