hypertext (1963) seems to be missing?


No AI is involved, it is about community written notes. On theoretically any topics, mostly AI topics initially.

x% of Startups in the US were founded by foreign workers statistics is needed to show that this is lower or higher than average. Also, capital per startup or other factors could show why the percentage of success is plausibly higher or lower.


Foreign workers make up less than 20% of the US workforce according to: https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-immigrants-are-in-the...

Over twice that proportion founding startups sounds very significant. It's not too surprising though - if you're able and willing to take the risk of migrating for work, you're probably more likely to be able and willing to start a company.


Also, is this a “one drop” rule — where a single foreign founder and three domestic founders counts as a “foreign founder”?


Do LLMs actually store and reproduce facts? The longer I use LLMs, the lesser i trust facts as complex as "capital of australia" to be answered, truthfully.


LLMs could be described as storing and reproducing beliefs, but they're definitely not databases that can be easily maintained as things change or verified for perfect accuracy at any given moment.

I think the best way to use them is to have a minimal language model that is as small as possible while still being able to comprehend language; and that this then goes off to an actual knowledge base of some kind where all the factoids can be checked separately.

Humans have separate explicit/declarative memory and implicit/procedural memory memories. I think the Transformer architecture puts everything into what is really only suitable for implicit/procedural; I think RAG is trying to be a separate explicit/declarative memory system, but I'm always to busy to study this in more than a superficial level, so I'm not sure.


Perfect thread detection was mathematically proven to be impossible.

So why install antivirus software?

It is just one more layer app that should run with elevated privileges, increasing both attack surface and trying to increase defense depth. So why increase complexity, for unknown gains?

But nice of the article, to link tools that help you think about threats for iOS/macOS.


> So why install antivirus software?

Because at least in the past, those with anti-virus software would have far fewer infections than those without.


I have no clue what the original buildings look like. But if we need to run a campaign about how to build, it should be "build like in africa - low resource investments, heat-resistant living spaces"


Apples did not fall from trees before Newton. That time was confusing.


Apple pickers don't want you to know...


And we have the owners of corporations with an influence in mass media, and to a lesser extent the internet, to thank for that.


Scrolling up and down on this website, the top "progressive blur" was annoying: too strong in the vertical expansion, on too small an area in the height used.


It also had noticable lag on my Pixel 6 Pro, which while not super new, isn't exactly a low-end device.


The performance is terrible for me too and I'm using last year's Snapdragon flagship, it feels like it's dropping to something like 15-20fps when scrolling. God help anyone trying to read this on a lower end device.


Silky smooth on both a two year old Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (Xiaomi 12) using both Chrome and Firefox and on a iPhone Pro Max 15 using Safari. Might be some other problem with your phone?


It seems the issue is specific to Firefox for me, if I switch over to Chrome it's perfectly smooth.

Strange that Firefox works fine for you on a slightly older version of the same platform.


Actually realized I was using Firefox Focus on that Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Just downloaded Firefox to try it and it's also the same as Firefox Focus...no issue. Could it be an extension? Fwiw, I don't have any extensions installed on any of the browsers.


Works for me with Firefox on a pixel 8...


It is readable but painful on my 7 year old mid-range Android phone.


I really like the effect but im also on safari on a newer macbook this machine is practically made just to render blurs well


Works fine in Safari on my iPhone, too. Curious if Apple is doing something in hardware.


they mostly make it overpowered, iphone processors are a couple years ahead most android flagships

for the average non-gamer your iphone is probably the most powerful computer they own


The obly aspect they are consistently ahead is single thread performance compared to Snaodragon. GPU has been behind for a few gens.


Right, this is changing gradually but single thread performance is still king on the web.


Some people still get pregnant with 14, and the next generation makes the same "mistake", as that led to not an ideal family situation and wise parenting. (German here, so no foul play / illegal intercourse happening in most of such cases.)
