These crystals, made of calcium lactate or tyrosine, are a natural result of bacterial activity and do not indicate spoilage.
The author discusses the challenges of continual learning in models and proposes memory layers as a natural architecture for this paradigm, enabling high-capacity and sparse updates. Memory layers can learn to organize knowledge through end-to-end gradient updates, allowing for targeted and selective updates that minimize forgetting.
oorandom is a minimalistic PRNG in Rust that implements a permuted congruential generator (PCG) and is simpler and faster than rand. It's best used with getrandom to seed it.
The author argues that society is experiencing a decline in deviance, with fewer people engaging in unconventional behavior, and suggests that this is due to a shift in societal values and increased safety.
