I find this a rather interesting quirk of linguistics. In many languages, nouns have a "grammatical gender". For example, in Czech, "inteligence" has a feminine grammatical gender, so you are supposed to use feminine…
Also worth noting that the exploit was published nearly decade ago. Still, even at that time, those VIA CPUs were over 15 years old.
Pretty interesting that simulator-only binary feedback (unless I am reading it wrong) was enough here to build some pretty robust models! I maintain [1], which provides the models with the ability to render a screenshot…
Apparently it took multiple tries to get this right. It is possible that the video is from one of the earlier failed attempts.
These days, running `/usage` in Claude Code shows you how close you are to the session and weekly limits. Also available in the web interface settings under "Usage".
I do wonder in particular about the startup time "time-to-plot" issue. I last used Julia about 2021-ish to develop some signal processing code, and restarting the entire application could have easily taken tens of…
Curiously, a local supplier [1] has been offering raw uranium glass rods for the last few years. There are even artists making new pieces from it [2]. [1] https://www.glass-laser.cz/URANOVE-SKLO-c38_111_2.htm?page=2 [2]…
