nextfx··on Genie 3: A new frontier for world models
Another case of moving the goalposts until you score a goal.
nextfx··on Numpyro: Probabilistic programming with NumPy powered by Jax
I'm not an expert on MCMC for BNNs by any means, but even with small networks I think it's a little tricky to get right. If my memory serves me right, this paper[1] focuses on small networks and goes over the issues and how to get around them.

nextfx··on Numpyro: Probabilistic programming with NumPy powered by Jax
MCMC is AFAIU overly prohibitive for neural networks. If you are interested in incorporating uncertainty awareness and improving calibration of your neural net classifiers in a somewhat scalable manner, I think linearized Laplace is a good place to look. I'd suggest you look at `laplace-torch` [1], it's an easy way of doing that.

nextfx··on FUSE-T is a kext-less implementation of FUSE for macOS that uses NFSv4
I've been using mksquashfs to make full-system backups lately, but had to resort to using unsquashfs for recovering files. This combined with squashfuse might come in handy.
nextfx··on I Implemented Nyströmformer
I assume the name is referring to the Nyström low-rank matrix approximation.
nextfx··on Expose server behind NAT with Tor
Is there a way of doing NAT hole-punching with Wireguard?
