Yeah, and the - often ignored in conversations - IIITs, are also quite strong.

Making private sector/startup consultancy really easy for professors to do is one of the main reasons there is an insane pickup of pace in the return of the diaspora. Many professors in my IIT su…

What sort of nonsense statistic is fatalities per watt hour? People agree with fatalities per hour of travel because it makes sense. If you're a really frequent flyer, you are more likely to die.…

It's the last option. The whole framing of DP is: Probability that you reveal private info is same whether or not you train on a particular users data. It is useful in many cases, but google the …

You generate blocks of 2 at a time yes. In general, k. As you can imagine, larger k performs worse. LLM(I like cats) is very likely to continue with "because they", but beyond that, there&#x…

Background: LLMs take your input, upscale it into a very high dimensional space, and then downscale it back to 1D at the end. This 1D list is interpreted as a list of probabilities -- one for each wor…

Why?

Yes. And filtering out publications in "paper mills" and then judging the guy properly doesn't scale beyond the top few institutions. So you'll find a sudden drop-off in research q…

Thanks, transferring out now.

Wait why. I'm out of the loop.

Wow. It's been a while since I used it. It's come a long way, this is excellent. At the time I chose fluent search with everything.exe file indexing and quicklook previews (all integrated), …

+1 for restic Restic + rclone is a very nice combo. Works really well.

Yep. A breaking change that makes my code a gajillion times faster is still always just a dirty breaking change that I'll hate.

I think a major issue is the lack of a feedback loop. Cheap money in america means that no matter what country you're currently in, it's financially beneficial to migrate to the US. One of t…

I believe HN has a slightly wider demographic these days. Maybe we should have people fix a bug in some bash script everytime they log in :p

Yes, I do something similar... However it breaks when the tables get too long. For <100 to few 100s of items it works.

What's anti-worker here? A works for B while both A and B want it. The moment one of them doesn't want to anymore for any reason whatsoever, they close this agreement. What's the proble…
