Just take Vitamin D3 supplements. They are cheap like 5 cents for 1000 IU and it is highly bio-available. The supplements have been used for literally decades.

Getting it from mushrooms becomes expensive and quite a chore.

Yeah, I remember these studies.

I am not sure whether they compensated for BMI or used sufficient dosage. A 2000 IU/day might not be sufficient as the amount required depends on the current level and BMI.

From studies we know, Vitamin D accumulates in fat cells before it is available for bodily functions, so unless the dosage was adjusted for BMI, the experiment might not have been done on an equal footing for all participants.

How do we know that Vitamin D accumulates in fat cells? When someone loses weight, the Vitamin D level improves dramatically despite not having ingested any Vitamin D or made from sunlight.

Link between Vitamin D and depression has been known for a long time. It is not a new finding.

> your body naturally produces Vitamin D as a reaction to sunlight (being outdoors), and not having sufficient time outdoors, especially in a pleasant/nature environment, may be contributing to depression.

At higher latitudes, it is extremely difficult to produce Vitamin D from sunlight unless you expose your entire torso(without a shirt). If you have dark skin, you need 2x or 3x more time.

Again, there is extensive literature on this, you just have to read it instead of speculating.

I forgot about this post.

Based on rendering quality even at low PPI, it is IBM Plex Mono though I would pickup the open source variant Blex Mono Nerd Font as it adds icons too.

If you are worried about privacy, do a FDE, but don't enroll with TPM.

You have no idea what is inside the TPM chip and its vulnerabilities.

Actually, I hate it. zero is not crossed, right?

Fonts from Google have been bland and monotonous. The only nice font that Google released is Spectral(from France), but it is a proportional serif font.

As someone who works on C compilers, I find the obession with C language insane.

For any greenfield project, pick up C++ in lieu of C if you want a C language.

There is no runtime penalty for using C++ if you stick to plain structs and don't use virtual functions, but you get better static type safety, lvalue references, namespaces, etc. even if you don't use the OO features.

Even for virtual functions, the overhead is minimal that it is just noise.

C compilers themselves are written in C++ for the last 15 years. Oh, the irony!

Probably.

I listened to some of the voices. The male voices are believable while all the female voices sound the same and artificial. For some reason, it also reminds me of the voices in Toy Story movies.

Bias in the training data?

What is the difference between the two?

A ham operator might put out 20W of ERP while a radio station operates at 100W though international broadcasters use upto 500 kW.

This is available on standard OBD-II. Maybe, it is accessible over CAN?

37 authors and contributors need to be named up top?

Oh! I got my name on a paper! I don't think there is much reward for it these days.

Yes. Model would be limited in its performance, but it would perform well in the limited domain because LLM interpolate from training data. They don't think like humans.

We might think that knowledge from logc and discrete math would spill over to coding. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work like that. Even 1T parameter LLM fail on tasks if there are no variants of it in the training data.

> Always curious when someone will figure out how we can elide most of the data from an LLM (but retain the logical ability). I don't actually need an LLM to have a very big internal knowledge base to be useful, so long as it can invoke a search tool...

I think this can be achieved already. Take a base model and train only on source code. In fact, the very early Granite models from IBM were like that though it didn't support reasoning which limited its performance.

You can do it too. I don't know how much it will cost to train on just source code repos. $10K in total? Not sure.

I can receive it only during night.
