The user discusses different approaches to Bayesian inference, including subjective, objective, and pragmatic Bayes, and argues that the choice of prior is no more or less subjective than the choice of likelihood. They also highlight the distinction between modeling a generative process explicitly and using a flexible model, and wonder if Andrew Gelman considers decision forests and neural ...

Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionizing data management by enabling users to interact with data using natural language, but they also introduce new challenges such as ensuring the quality of generated output and addressing ethical and legal concerns. The paper discusses the potential impact of LLMs on data management, including both worst-case and best-case scenarios, and highlights ...

AMD's Zen 5 architecture features a new 2-Ahead Branch Predictor, which allows the processor to predict branch instructions more accurately and efficiently, enabling better performance and reduced power consumption. The 2-Ahead Branch Predictor is a major shift for the Zen family of CPU architectures, providing new branch prediction capabilities that will benefit future developments of the Zen core.

The author explores the concept of color theory, specifically the CIE 1931 color space, and how it is used to represent colors in a device-independent way. The author also delves into the chromaticity diagram, which is a 2D representation of the colors that can be perceived by the human eye, and how it is derived from the XYZ color matching functions that were experimentally determined by ...

Google fixed a weakness that allowed attackers to bypass email verification and create malicious Workspace accounts, which could be used to impersonate domain holders at third-party services. The vulnerability was fixed within 72 hours and additional detection was added to prevent similar attacks, with no evidence of abuse on Google services.

In the 17th century, girls attending a London boarding school learned to make decorative paper cuttings. Several of these creations—including a tiny fox, a star and a hen—survived for 350 years beneath the floorboards of Sutton House, a historic building that once functioned as a school for upper- and middle-class girls. The papers, along with hundreds of other artifacts, were finally ...

Avery Pennarun, CEO of Tailscale, discusses the company's vision for a new internet that is decentralized, secure, and easy to use, and how it can enable a new era of innovation and productivity. He argues that the current internet is centralized and complex, and that Tailscale's technology can help to simplify and democratize connectivity, making it possible for anyone to build and use ...

guish (goo-ish) is a dynamic data pipeline UI that allows users to visually construct and execute complex command-line pipelines. It provides an intuitive interface for chaining together various Unix commands and custom plugins, making it easier to build and understand data processing workflows. This is an exploratory project in nature, seeing how text input and GUI input can complement each ...

Mathematicians have finally proved the geometric Langlands conjecture, a key component of the Langlands program, after decades of effort. The proof, which involves over 800 pages of work, settles the conjecture in the geometric column of the Rosetta stone and is expected to have far-reaching implications for number theory and other areas of mathematics.

The user replaced the logic board of their Casio F-91W watch with a programmable ARM Cortex M0+ board from Sensor Watch, allowing them to add custom watchfaces and features. They created a watchface that generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) for two-factor authentication and a ratemeter watchface for tracking rowing stroke rate or cadence.

A US judge ruled that cellphone searches at the border require both probable cause and a warrant, citing the heavy privacy impact of reviewing a person's phone data. The ruling is a victory for journalists and civil libertarians, who argued that warrantless phone searches pose a grave threat to the Fourth Amendment right to privacy and First Amendment freedoms.

Patchwork is a self-hosted CLI agent that automates development tasks using LLMs, with customizable prompts and patchflows for tasks like PR reviews, code fixing, and documentation. It comes with a set of predefined patchflows and allows users to create their own, with options for overriding default attributes and using custom prompt templates.

The user learned programming in C and C++ through various books, but found the process of turning programs into executable files to be slow and unpleasant due to lack of literature on the topic. This series aims to fill that gap by explaining the core concepts of creating an executable, using bintools and driver verbose mode, and providing a mental map for readers to explore beyond the ...

The course provides a framework to understand sustainability challenges in real estate, examining economic, technological, and design strategies. Professors Siqi Zheng, Zhengzhen Tan, and Juan Palacios lead the course, specializing in urban and environmental economics, sustainable cities, and real estate.

Apple has announced a new product called Apple Intelligence, but it won't be released in Europe due to regulatory requirements imposed by the EU's Digital Markets Act. This decision is part of a larger trend where tech companies are choosing to "exit" the European market due to poorly designed regulations, which may lead to a "splinternet" where international tech giants withdraw from the continent.

The ideology of scientism, which has become dominant worldwide, is a religion-like belief system that claims science is the only source of truth and knowledge, and that technology and progress will solve all human problems. However, scientism is criticized for its limitations, dangers, and negative consequences, and a growing movement of scientists and intellectuals is emerging to challenge ...

The user describes their solution to a HighLoad challenge, counting uint8s in a 250MB stream of bytes, and shares a surprising memory read pattern that achieves up to 30% higher transfer rates on fully memory-bound workloads. The pattern involves interleaving the processing of successive 4K pages to utilize the "Streamer" hardware prefetcher, resulting in a 15% improvement in score on HighLoad.

All good things must come to an end. I've decided to end the Funtoo Linux project. Funtoo started as a philosophy to create a fun community of contributors building something great together. For me, it's no longer that so I need to move on to other things. There is not a successor BDFL for Funtoo...
