  1. Not quite, compression enables you to simulate / represent / encode x data with less than x memory.
  2. Like "someone" who's knowledge cutoff is from a while back...
  3. What makes you think/say they’ve skipped safety standards?
  4. Do you actually feel like this is better (and not just at par or worse)?
  5. I would not consider this to be a potluck. I've been to many parties in both LATAM and the US. LATAM parties are indeed just like US parties very often but in many cases they are much more "communal" without being a potluck per-se. A potluck is still too formal a name for what I've experienced at least. Someone's uncle will bring a piñata, someone's aunt will cook pozole, a cousin will bring a speaker, and so on. And these types of parties are not "uncool" or even "laidback" they can be wild.
  6. More details on the actual arch would be nice. It seems like this autoregressive action world model space is a local max until the JEPA work takes over.
  7. First, understand that Mexicans are a diverse group of people, some with very “Spanish” lineages. Second, the Spanish intentionally erased very large portions of indigenous culture. The Spanish colonizers absolutely did not “respect” the old culture except for very specific and unique instances. I’m not sure how you can possibly say as much? It’s essentially genocide erasure.

    Anyways, the Mexican government currently communicates in a variety of indigenous languages on official forms and so they’re certainly trying to reinvigorate those traditions now.

    Could you explain where you got the idea that the Spanish as a whole respected indigenous culture in mesoamerica ?

  8. Note: title is currently borked, it should be

    but it is

  9. What makes it a good alternative? The fact it’s in beta would be a non starter for my org but it’s possible once it’s out of beta it would be worth looking at.
  10. Why do you assume people who choose Next don’t understand those things or what they are? Is it so hard to imagine someone understands “servers and things of that nature” and still chooses next?
  11. FWIW I was not referring to brita filters. Two days ago I was at a friends house who had a literal fabric filter on top of his big water carafe.
  12. That’s not accurate. At least in the majority of the city. You can buy a brand new 5 gallon garrafón for $65mxn ~ $3.25. You can fill one up from empty for ~$35mxn.
  13. I’ve lived here for 3 years and been drinking the tap for about a year. I’ve got lots of friends with “filters” that don’t actually do anything for microbes, and they drink that water. Anyways, very very few people can’t afford a garrafón.
  14. What? You literally just go to the dealership and they make the changes for you.
  15. Of course they’re street legal? You just can’t buy them in the US. They’re all over Mexico and they’re great.
  16. BYD offers great warranties that are 6-10 years where I’m at. And lifetime for some battery details.
  17. This is possible but very very hard! Actually getting the model to converge on something that sounds reasonable will make you pull your hair out. It’s definitely a fun and worthwhile project though. I attempted something similar a few years ago. Good luck!
  18. No. The FFT is an operation on a discrete domain, it is not the FT. In the same way audio waveforms are processed by an FFT you bucket frequencies which is conceptually a vector. Once you have a vector, you do machine learning like you would with any vector (except you do some FT in this case, I haven’t read the paper).
  19. The photos we have of black holes?
