Yes, I also found the description a little weird because of the emphasis on linear-time parsing. It is cool theoretically, and it could be understandable from a perspective of "make the compiler fast", but parsing is…
Looking at the actual article (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-54178-1), their procedure does actually use deep learning in the process of synthesizing candidate chip designs, and the use of deep learning is…
Absolutely! (also see the article) https://www.colorado.edu/artssciences-advising/resource-libr...
What a strange recommendation. I do research in CS theory and machine learning and I try to find arXiv preprints when I can, they are usually more complete than conference versions of papers. If you stick to papers from…
If Google Scholar is sunset that would be a great loss for the academic community. When was that feature removed? I have felt reasonably confident in Google Scholar so far because it is already 18 or so years old.
In case you do not know, I find Google Scholar to be pretty useful for finding dates and other information about the paper - e.g. in this case https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C14&q=New... I work with…
SemanticDB (https://scalameta.org/docs/semanticdb/guide.html) is a protobuf-based file format that does almost exactly this for JVM languages, primarily Scala (I was a contributor a while back). It is used to build an…
I feel like "generate" is kind of a strong word in this case though. At this rate if the machines rise up, they will do so just to parrot all the "machines rise up" plot synopses in their training corpus.
I love this! But after trying it a few times I got this result :). So fascinating. https://thismoviedoesnotexist.org/movie/the-terminator Brings up the age-old question of how much the learning in these models is just…
Good point! I think this heuristic works well if the edges between tiles in completed picture are uniquely identifiable or close to that. However from the images there seem to be only 4 "colors" of edges in the puzzle…
~20bn sounds about right. 9! * 4^9 / 4 ~ 23.8bn. Divide by 4 due to rotational symmetry. Absolutely mind-boggling to me that such a small, simple puzzle has such an extreme search space! Great example of P vs NP, time…
I haven't been a parent so I can't be positive, but I doubt time off for maternity or paternity acts as a "positive" incentive for having children, meaning people who didn't want children before would now want them.…
Another way to think about it is counting the probability of getting k boys out of 2 children. 0 boys - 1/4 1 boy - 1/2 2 boys - 1/4 There's a half chance of getting exactly one boy, and one way to calculate this is by…
I'll give some brief context first for why it could be useful, then explain what DeepWritable does. AWS Amplify JS has a library called DataStore that takes GraphQL schema and generates ActiveRecord-like model classes…
As someone who has spent a lot of time diving deep into Scala (I worked on compiler related semantic tooling for scalameta, worked on a experimental parallelizable Scala compiler, and even have a single commit in this…
I might be misinterpreting, but are you saying the two are mutually exclusive? Google Docs does need custom layout and rendering which may be tough/finicky to implement with the existing css layout, as well as…
The synchronicity of this showing up on the HN front page at the same time as Google moving Docs to canvas-based rendering (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27129858) is kind of funny. More seriously, this looks…
Yeah, I have heard of it, and thanks for mentioning it to those who may not have. Like others have said, these have very few of the same guarantees people might be looking for in institutional accounts, especially that…
Gotcha. I didn't consider just putting a small amount of direct deposit into HMB, that's pretty clean! Might try it myself :) I doubt they expect most users to do something like this though, which may explain why…
This may be unfounded, but I am pretty skeptical of any bank or service that offers such high APY for a savings account. The effective federal funds rate is now about 0.6%, and Wealthfront is really clear in their…
This is pretty unfortunate. I loved using Simple for three or so years; it was my first independent bank account. It was a great app and beautiful design with innovative banking features, like budgeting and super easy…
I think those are just identifiers for the telescopes. If you click on the telescope to expand you can see what it’s communicating with and some info about the link, and the bitrates are closer to e.g. 20 Kbit/s - 1.0…
This is a really clean explanation, thank you! Is the O(1/d^2) decrease in bitrate due to the inverse square law for radiation intensity?
I think this situation is a good illustration of latency vs bandwidth. Latency is unavoidable due to the speed of light, but there’s no physical barrier to bitrate aside from power consumption. Seems like the best…
Interesting. I am not a rocket scientist, but I think there’s a few fundamental problems with doing this: 1. You can’t keep the satellites in a “line” between Earth and Mars, as objects in orbits of larger radii travel…
