Congrats! Mine also came yesterday. I grabbed the 2 TB with Steam controller. I think you and I were in the same batch of emails!

This was a wild ride.

That 8 hour 20 minute spec for returning to baseline could probably be sped up a bit to improve the inter-frame timing

Modern monitors measure gray-to-gray time as the response, rather than black-to-black. So if she computed the 50% luminescence threshold time on the decay side, and then started injecting the next round at that time, could likely cut the decay time to closer to 200 minutes minutes for the first frame, and then probably double that for the inter-frame times, depending on the GFP decay rate.

Who knows, maybe she already took that into account. She seems to be well rounded.

From the charts in the video (above), it looks to be symmetrical near the peak, but the 50% concentration on decay is around 200 minutes minutes of decay followed by 70 minutes ramping up would put the inter-frame time to be about 3.5 hours.

I realize concentration of fluorescing enzyme may not be 1:1 with lumens emitted.

If this worked the way I imagine, This cuts the total time to play from 600 years to about 200 years. Rounded to 1 significant figure, since this is all ballpark math anyway.

I have my PhD now, and have published 3 conference papers and 2 journal articles. I’m not in academia now.

About half of my academic citations came from a poster I presented at a conference from before I started grad school. A poster that was never uploaded online, has no paper with it, and as far as I know, 15 people have seen in real life.

They were citing the online abstract, which has no real meat to it, just a single picture of my choosing and a paragraph of text or so.

Holy shit man. This project was barely science at this point. The methodology was soooo bad, and only made sense because I barely knew what I was doing and the researcher advising me was a bit out of their depth.

I was able to beat him 3 or 4 days ago, after the rock pile thing wasn’t part of the fight anymore.

Overwhelming force: strength build, vulnerability , and the card that gives you strength when you lose health on your turn, combined with multiple cards that triggered damage, and a power that dealt 1 hp damage at the beginning of my turn.

Accept that you will lose a few cards and build redundancies.

I’ll look up my build later.

It’s only the standard for people who self host their llms and don’t have $500k to throw at hardware for GLM-5.1 or similar models.

I have qwen3.6:27b on my local hardware and it’s way better than I expected. I’m excited for the rest of the 3.6 line as it comes out, if they can keep up that quality.

This story is also a nothing burger. Generally, yes, Nvidia will suffer once chinas stack catches up (soon). By then whatever bubble we are in will have normalized one way or the other.

In terms of actually deploying this model, it doesn’t matter what hardware you’re using. VLLM supports almost everything with SIMD-type hardware instructions.

More competition will make everyone happy except Nvidia shareholders.

I have pretty severe adhd (combined type). I use the Headspace app for guided meditations, and my favorite course is “Managing Anxiety.”

Rather than simply accepting the train of crazy thoughts, which is hard, it teaches me to categorize thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations into a few groups.

1. Thinking or feeling (physical or emotional). Do this for a while.
2. eventually add “pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral”.
3. After a good bit of practice, it adds “in a word, name the thought or feeling” and talks you through how to do that healthily.

This categorization is an active step that helps the mind acknowledge a thought or feeling without being sucked into it or identifying with it. I use a similar labeling method when I struggle to stay calm. This idea is to start labeling the individual feelings and bodily signs rather than feeling anxious or excited: thinking or saying to myself “elevated heart rate”, “sweaty palms”, “rapid shallow breathing”. It’s a grounding exercise you can do anytime to check in with your body and add distance to the emotion, rather than attaching your current state to a lizard brain feeling.

The broader goal of meditation isn’t to “be zen”, or without thought, but rather to help you separate your thoughts from your identity. Once you learn to recognize the signs of various feelings through regular practice, noting, and labeling, you may learn to use the tools to help reset a little when you’re NOT meditating.

If you’re like me with a hyper sensory experience (mine is sound), then learning to identify when a sensation is present can also help to ground you.

Anyway, hope that helps. I can answer questions if you have any.

I’ve never met a desktop GUI bigger than a single page with buttons that wasn’t messy and complicated.

Granted, I’m used to Qt in C++ and python, so I don’t think I’m the best sample collector.

You can love the art and hate the artist. Which I do.

On the other hand: typically the value of painting-type art has to do with the story of the artist. So if the artist is a spoiled rich white boy, then his paintings of slums and poor people will likely not take off as a cultural phenomenon.

As long as they are tasteful, that’s fine. Like little Dunkin Donuts indicators or whatever if they’re in the normal driving view and take up a very small amount of visual space, great. Waze has done this for years. No bother, no forced waits, no delays in navigation.

If you put banner, UI-blocking, and/or full-screen ads in my maps app, go fuck yourselves.

Sounds like the rich don’t like a new leftist populist coming to threaten their broligarchy?

Docker compose files (and docker execs) use the following format

  volumes:
    - <host_storage_path>:<vm_mount_path>

If the docker-compose has a ${VAR_NAME}:/data, then it will replace it directly with the variable defined in the .env file in the same directory with the format

VAR_NAME=/path/on/host

And would mount the host’s /path/on/host to /data

I’m not familiar with that particular tool.

If it uses docker, the most common place for the docker images and overlays is /var/lib/docker. This contains ALL docker overlays and such.

Hope this helps.

It also massively reduces contact with the road.

My car lists it as a possible pressure for racing, Only suggested if planned use is over 100 mph all the time.

Aside from being massive explosive risk on rupture that would badly damage your car body, it also reduces traction for braking and acceleration. Not a good idea for regular driving unless you are an actual professional.

I’m guessing there was more context before the top comment in this screenshot?

Debian or Ubuntu LTS versions are a good choice for a max 8 GB of ram.

Arch Linux or its variants (like EndeavourOS) are nice if you don’t want to reinstall it regularly, just run updates.

Brave little toaster reference? Nice

To be fair, I just bought a smart tv that has never touched the internet and doesn’t give me any problems. No prompts, no ads, just goes to my Apple TV and my steam deck.

In theory at least, if you have a math problem, and a protocol for how to ask a real calculator to compute it, the model can ask a real calculator to compute the value of an expression.

I don’t know if anyone has done it, but it is feasible. Could also be extended to more robust solving tools. Think matlab and the like.

I’m actually not sure you’re right… isn’t the metaphor a horse wearing a bridle with a bit in their mouth? When they’re excited to move they literally chomp on the bit.
