Split mode is completely broken since 26.2.

The Sega Genesis was the last console with a "game console", "non-domestic-PC", and "non-toy" auras, for me. At a non-internet time, game consoles were like magnets for socialization and for making friends through shared experiences. I never knew who David Rosen was. Unfortunately only today I know who he was. And he was the kind of person that did significant work that influenced and nourished the imagination and experiences of many young people and adults. Thanks a lot for Sega, for the arcades, for the Master System, for Akai Koudan Zillion and for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Mr. David Rosen. Rest in peace.

Sony bricked my WF-1000XM4 by overheating its batteries. Some users reported things melting. $250,00 of my work straight to the trash bin. Thank you Sony...not.

"Over more than a decade there has been an extensive research effort on how to effectively utilize recurrent models and attention. While recurrent models aim to compress the data into a fixed-size memory (called hidden state), attention allows attending to the entire context window, capturing the direct dependencies of all tokens. This more accurate modeling of dependencies, however, comes with a quadratic cost, limiting the model to a fixed-length context. We present a new neural long-term memory module that learns to memorize historical context and helps attention to attend to the current context while utilizing long past information. We show that this neural memory has the advantage of fast parallelizable training while maintaining a fast inference. From a memory perspective, we argue that attention due to its limited context but accurate dependency modeling performs as a short-term memory, while neural memory due to its ability to memorize the data, acts as a long-term, more persistent, memory. Based on these two modules, we introduce a new family of architectures, called Titans, and present three variants to address how one can effectively incorporate memory into this architecture. Our experimental results on language modeling, common-sense reasoning, genomics, and time series tasks show that Titans are more effective than Transformers and recent modern linear recurrent models. They further can effectively scale to larger than 2M context window size with higher accuracy in needle-in-haystack tasks compared to baselines."

Maybe it's time to use GPUs for doing AI calculations.

Is that happening because Earth is loosing its magnetic field and the end is near? ;)

You're welcome and I'm glad you appreciated. Also, thank you for your insights. About "Open Insight", I think it's not so open at the moment, since I couldn't find any kind of code repository. Maybe it is at an early design phase. Decidim.org is made with Ruby on Rails (good for fast prototyping, but a questionable choice for a critical system, IMHO).

I think those investing efforts and time developing participatory democracy systems, are trying to solve these kind of communication and reasoning problems.

Don't know why someone flagged u/lioeters message: "The U.S. is tooling up Japan for war."

It's so true. Japan "has been buying" high tech war tools from USA, like self-dismantling F-35s, for some time now.

Facebook owns Whatsapp and I feel compelled to use it.

I don't know if there is a concrete source of your claiming.

Even if there is, it's probably restricted to the USA.

At relevant parts of the USA, house sizes are being compressed.

Edit: formating

IMHO the advancements in technology related with industries in which the end product is digital (movies, animation, texts, programs, etc.,) instead of fundamental spatial services like automation of food productions, cleaning, garbage collection, house building, etc., is a direct consequence of physical space being a luxury around the world, with housing and renting prices skyrocketing.

The Garage Culture is a privilege of few.

Most working-class people are accepting to live into small boxes without space for even a table destined to drawing, reading and studying. Instead, they soon will use virtual desktops inside cheap Chinese Apple Vision Pros clones. Life will get harder and unhealthier.

While designers and some scientists know the importance of physical areas for developing certain activities, most people don't and are subjecting themselves and their children to sad living conditions.

edit: typo ("de" -> "the")

Maybe there's people thinking that now that "we" have Apple Vision Pros and Meta Quests 3, the work class can live inside small boxes.

TIL Nature is failing to help the world to have more clear scientific communication. What a shame!

So, many researchers don't use terms with due care. And many article are rejected by Nature.

For me, it was, because it was informatve and I'm tired of imprecision, terms overloading, ambiguity and indirectnesses.

Take a look at the Rust's crate.io mess, for example, where people misuse "crate" all the time.

IMHO should be coupled with some videos comparing the Roman empire with the USA empire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNv1lX9IIfU

My yahoo e-mail account was Yahoo-ed (one day, I logged in on it to find Yahho deleted all my e-mails (some of then important and others of sentimental value), due to account inactivity for a new arbitrary number of days not previously informed.

Recently I bought a paper notebook and pens to make companion to my ipad+pencil+OneNote combo, for my Rust programming studies and anotations.

Before buying the notebook I researched what kind of notebook Einstein used to work on. Spyral x brochure, kind of paper and size were considered.

Something was off with the digital solution. I can't ellaborate exactly what was/is the problem, but I'm not abandning it. I use it when it feels more up to the task (ex:storing images and coying a big text from the internet).

Since there is no space inside my house, to put a decent sized blackboard and I don't have free access to one, maybe blackboards aren't so democratic as one would wish.

I like these explicit and "transparent" computers. Does anyone know of a similar computer using LEDs as logical gates in a way we can "see" what and how things are being computed?

A never-ending project is called "program".

About Potential for harm: 7% of answers were deemed potentially harmful by the consensus physicians.

But, from research dating back from 2016, we have that: 10 percent of all U.S. deaths are now due to medical error (2016)

All this kind of experiments and how humanity still deal with othes species to get meat, is something strait of a science fiction depicting an evil alien race... where the evil alien race is the human race, in our current reality.

We will know on april, 2024. But only in the abscence of a judgement day.

"DeepSouth uses a neuromorphic system which mimics biological processes, using hardware to efficiently emulate large networks of spiking neurons at 228 trillion synaptic operations per second - rivalling the estimated rate of operations in the human brain."

A neuromorphic supercomputer called DeepSouth will be capable of 228 trillion synaptic operations per second, which is on par with the estimated number of operations in the human brain

Thank you for pointing out to cargo-expand

This tool stands on the shoulders of giants. To work its magic, it runs the following commands:

rustc -Zinspect=hir, for retrieving the HIR. rustfmt, for formatting the output. prettyprint, for syntax-highlighting, which is just a wrapper around the awesome syntect and bat crates.

Not working on ipad. (tested Chrome and Safari)
