I remember seeing some results from a group using OCT imaging[0] that was on-par with a CGM, just bulky and requiring multiple high-end GPUs to actually run. So it's in principle possible, if nowhere near practical currently

I found it to be way too underspecific; more of cursory overview for a undergraduate seeing it for the first time in a business school than someone interested in digging into time series forecasting in depth. Don't have a better recommendation though, unfortunately.

unrelated, I bet you really like David Foster Wallace

Or just read Wikipedia, which I'm sure it will crib from poorly... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

Thank god, I've had to cobble something like this together for my own notes a couple of times trying to parse papers and was never quite sure if I was missing something.

funny that one of the better f u t u r e ideas in this thread got heavily downvoted. This is probably one of the more efficient ways to automate package delivery, up to a small-ish size, and requiring a pretty high density. If NY wasn't a clusterfuck when it comes to getting projects built, they might actually have the density to justify the maintenance costs.

why not just use pneumatics? It's a proven technology used in sufficiently large facilities.

Interesting, the automated version of racing wikipedia pages:

Though the path it gives from Manifestiny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_destiny to Homo Sapiens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human seems to go through a hyperlink not found on the page? Might be buried in versioning or other languages though.

Even fire safety is frequently done in an overly onerous and ineffective way, e.g. the double staircase requirement that doesn't apply in many other places because other, more space efficient solutions were found.

Because battery tech is evolving fast, and lithium could quickly become far less valuable...

it's... clearly not abandoned. Pretty sure you mean dilapidated.

They mean a heat pump. You apply work to transfer heat, getting more inside than if you had just turned the energy into heat directly; the outside gets colder of course.

So the most physically grounded example I know of is the undecidability of some spectral gaps[0] (is there a discrete jump between the ground state and the excited states), which as far as I can tell doesn't rely on self-reference.

It was a fire drill for AGI, and one that was failed badly.

free QA seems pretty valuable

Interesting, sort of like a reverse chesterton's fence argument: just because a thing used to be used to do x, doesn't mean that's the only purpose it could possibly serve.
