Usually the main reason to mandate uniforms in poor countries is so that the poorest kids won't be ostracized for not being able to afford trendy clothes.

It's even more worrying when you look at the contents of these "books", they are riddled with erros:

interesting, i never thought about this use case before, but LLMs may be exceedingly good at code deobfuscation and decompilation

>You can’t convey a meaningful message in a limited amount words/seconds
You most definitely can convey meaningful messages in a limited amount of time, and that's exactly the point, enforcing conciseness you end up with higher information density.
Decentralization provides the additional value of resistance to censorship and algorithmic biases.

Thanks for the clarification, if you have any pointers to learn more about this I'd be interested to check it out.

Fiscal spending is still created as a loan though since the government has to sell bonds to finance it, no?

How did you market this? Do you have a website for it?

That's a great idea, a version of wikipedia with iframe embeds could allow for this, though it would be even better if these small websites could be directly uploaded by editors as html/js/css so they wouldnt depend on external websites and could be versioned and preserved.

Am I missing something or is this just a linear transformation?
It says here ( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/370980395_A_NEURAL_... ) that each layer can be represented as a matrix multiplication (equation 3): Ax = s
So concatenating multiple layers could just be reduced to a single matrix multiplication?
If there is no non-linearity I don't see how this could replace neural networks, or am I missing something?

I always wondered if bars and clubs actually get inspected to check the dB level emitted by their sound systems, some places seem way too loud to be safe for people's hearing.

Like Warren Mosler (founder of MMT) argues, you can think of rate hikes as basic income for the rich.
Since the US Debt to GDP ratio is so high now, rate hikes are creating a higher deficit spending from the government into the economy (bondholders) which can be more than enough to counteract the contractive effect of rate hikes.

OpenAI is basically asking to get hacked at this point...

What kind of mattress was it in the end? Springs? Memory foam? And how hard?

I have very little knowledge of quantum physics, but in my mind there is some similarity between quantum phenomena and backward raytracing in computer graphics.
In forward raytracing, images are rendered by "shooting" photons from all lightsources and seeing which ones end up hitting the player's camera. This is similar to what we think happens in nature, but the calculation is extremely inefficient, because the vast majority of photons never hit the player's viewpoint.
In backward raytracing, we only shoot "photons" backwards from the player's camera, and see which rays end up hitting a light source. This computation is much more efficient.
It makes me wonder if our "simulation" uses a similar shortcut
