Recovery time can vary a lot depending on the person, the particular muscle group how much volume you do, how hard you push, quality of your sleep, and a bunch of other factors. It's not wild to have arms that recover faster than average.

It's perfectly valid to have a fluctuating schedule too. It's not ideal, but life rarely cooperates to give us ideal conditions. I'd say that if changing it to a fixed schedule is too complicated or makes it less enjoyable and harder to adhere to, then don't do it. Based on what you've written, it seems like you do have a pretty well thought out plan on how to autoregulate and adapt to whatever your work schedule throws at you. That is in itself a rigorous plan. Not everything has to align with our seven day calendars.

behoove

And just like that, Mike Isratel popped into my head to narrate for the rest of your post.

It has nothing to do with the meaning. If your training set consists of a bunch of strings consisting of A's and B's together and another subset consisting of C's and D's together (i.e. [AB]+ and [CD]+ in regex) and the LLM outputs "ABBABBBDA", then that's statistically unlikely because D's don't appear with A's and B's. I have no idea what the meaning of these sequences are, nor do I need to know to see that it's statistically unlikely.

In the context of language and LLMs, "statistically likely" roughly means that some human somewhere out there is more likely to have written this than the alternatives because that's where the training data comes from. The LLM doesn't need to understand the meaning. It just needs to be able to compute probabilities, and the probability of this excerpt should be low because the probability that a human would've written this is low.

I don't think we would've had so many lessons on this in school if it didn't need to be taught.

Have people just completely forgot how search engines work? If you search for two things and get shit results, it means those two things don't appear together.

A sentence saying she had her ovaries removed and that she is fertile don't statistically belong together, so you're not even getting that.

So is it sort of like shooting your self the foot long term?

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Masking or not masking? I would say that masking all the time would qualify as shooting yourself in the foot long term. It's a lot of wasted energy that could be spent doing something else. When you get sufficient time to turn off and relax, it really does feel like autism is a superpower.

To avoid exhaustion and burnout

About three times per day during the work day makes for ~800 times per year. Seems to be on the right order of magnitude to me.

It allows you to compare between different package sizes for the same product, but not between different products. Our goal here is to compare different products.

Added Nesquik to the table.

if you make that kind of analysis with anything at Costco you are always going to buy the thing at Costco, which is the fundamental trade off of Costco, giving up variety for good prices on large quantities.

This kind of analysis just tells you what the costs are. If price is all you care about, then sure, you'll just get everything at Costco. But usually, there's much more at play than just price. This would tell you how much you're paying for the other things you might care about, thus enabling you to make a decision on whether or not it's worth it.

Would it be? When you buy food, it's usually either for the nutrition content, satiety, or flavour. Absolute mass doesn't correlate with any of these as far as I'm aware. How would you use this value?

 

Apparently we can register as a liberal to vote in the upcoming leadership race. What does it mean if I register? What do I gain (besides the aforementioned voting) and does it place any kind of restrictions on me (e.g. am I prevented from doing the same with a different party)?

 

If there's insufficient space around it, then it'll never spawn anything. This can be useful if you want to keep a specific spawner around for capture later but don't want too spend resources on killing the constant stream of biters.

I'm looking to get some smart light switches/dimmers (zigbee or matter if that's relevant), and one of the requirements for me is that if the switches aren't connected to the network, they would behave like regular dumb switches/dimmers. No one ever advertises anything except the "ideal" behaviour when it's connected with a hub and their proprietary app and everything, so I haven't been able to find any information on this.

So my question: is this the default behaviour for most switches? Are there any that don't do this? What should I look out for given this requirement?


Edit: Thanks for the responses. Considering that no one has experienced switches that didn't behave this way nor heard of any, I'm proceeding with the assumption that any switch should be fine. I got myself some TP Link Kasa KS220 dimmers and it works pretty well. Installation was tough due to its size. Took me about an hour of wrangling the wires so that it would fit in the box. Dimming also isn't as smooth as I'd like, but it works. I haven't had a chance to set it up with Home Assistant yet since the OS keeps breaking every time I run an update and I haven't had time to fix it after the last one. Hopefully it integrates smoothly when I do get to it.

 

This is a video about Jorn Trommelen's recent paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38118410/

The gist of it is that they compared 25g protein meals vs 100g protein meals, and while you do use less of it for muscle protein synthesis at that quantity, it's a very minor difference. So the old adage still holds: Protein quantity is much more important than timing.

While we're at it, I'd also like to share an older but very comprehensive overview of protein intake by the same author: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/athlete-protein-intake/

 

Ten years ago, Dzmitry Bahdanau from Yoshua Bengio's group recognized a flaw in RNNs and the information bottleneck of a fixed length hidden state. They put out a paper introducing attention to rectify this issue. Not long after that, a group of researchers at Google found that you can just get rid of the RNN altogether and you still get great results with improved training performance, giving us the transformer architecture in their Attention Is All You Need paper. But transformers are expensive at inference time and scale poorly with increasing context length, unlike RNNs. Clearly, the solution is to just use RNNs. Two days ago, we got Were RNNs All We Needed?

 

Following up on another question about open source funding, how does it usually work when there is funding to pay for the dev's work, then someone new joins in and makes significant contributions? Does the original dev still keep everything? Do you split the funds between the devs? If so, how do you decide how much each person gets? Are there examples of projects where something like this has happened?

 

There's many posts here with the purpose of convincing people to support electoral reform. Not so much that's actually actionable. What do we do if we want to change things? For a start, does anyone have information on who's responsible for the election system at each level of government in each of the major cities?

 

I think it's generally agreed upon that large files that change often do not belong while small files that never change are fine. But there's still a lot of middle ground where the answer is not so clear to me.

So what's your stance on this? Where do you draw the line?

 

I suspect this is a problem with posts that have extremely long bodies like this one: https://slrpnk.net/comment/8035803

I'm trying to scroll down to the top first comment and inevitably overshoot. When I i try to scroll back up, it suddenly jumps back to the middle of the OP's body.

 
 

Is it possible for posts to show the domain (TLD and SLD) of link posts?

Use case: I don't want to watch videos so I want to avoid clicking YouTube links. I would like to know that they are YouTube videos without having my phone spend the next minute trying to open YouTube.
