Just like the other brand cited in the original comment. He was pointing out what's different, and it's not the quality, it's the brand and ecosystem.

Great post !

It feels hard to get started on this subject, I'm always down to get more learning material.

While I'm only at the beginning and still has a lot to learn, to anyone interested in understanding zkSNARK, I heavily recommend reading Maksym Petkus's "Why and How zk-SNARK Works: Definitive Explanation". It's available for free on his website and goes through similar steps than this blog post to explain how it's all done.

That's interesting, GPT-3 can do classification too? Or did I misunderstood and you meant your engineers used classification to build a language model that didn't perform as well as GPT-3 (which is less surprising indeed) ?

Is it needed to hold the patent to be profitable as a manufacturer ? If the research has been already paid out, I'd prefer healthy competition.

Of course they could have done that, if gitlab had at least given a prior warning...

Some of the screenshot show them even trying to get a temporary account with support just to get what they've been locked out of to make a backup.

Actually I'd argue the example you provided is normal, as long as you authorise a particular encoding where every number n you're looking for is encoded as a string of n zeros.

It's then trivial to see that every number you can think of is encoded in there, and therefore any data, piece of music or movie that ever existed.

(I'm not sure we're allowed to fiddle with the encoding, but since we allow ourselves to represent a piece of music into a number, we're already talking about encoding anyway, so it doesn't seem like cheating to me...)

Definitely going to give it a shot.

The way I study math usually (actually not usually, because it's not very pracrical, but the most productive way I found) is by locking myself in a classroom, laying all my notes spread on different tables, and using the chalkboard as a temporary playground to redo demonstrations and exercises, and sometimes explore ideas on my own.

Theorems and objects end up having a literal spacial position in the room, and I have to move around to study. It feels like being a craft man in his workshop.

It's fun, really. It got me excited to study maths.

But I need a room for it, and I can only get one if I come super early, before class starts, to get 3 or 4 hours of productivity.

Maybe a virtual one like that can work. It's really appealing.

If he got his games in a bundle as he stated, and the bundle do no longer exist,, he could resell these games at a price closer to the standalone price, usually higher

Jumped in when we were joining groups starting with 'S', and now we're already at 'E'. Really satisfying.

Given that my account got a connection attempt from Sweden, I guess that's where the archivist live. Hopefully he will have a nice morning tomorrow thanks to the community.
