What were the side-effects? I was thinking of implementing something that doesn't directly federate votes, so it would be good to know what problems I'd need to solve before that can be done.

I believe piefed creates fake accounts to do the voting so it doesn't federate the actual account that cast the vote.

70 billion parameters. It's standard notation in the context of LLMs.

And if you've watched any of her content, you'd know her character is probably the farthest thing from dominant.

As a researcher, a good chunk of my work is literally just sitting on my ass and thinking. Or thinking while taking a walk in the park, or thinking while mindlessly chopping wood in a video game. Now with a kid, it's kind of switched to thinking about what to do for dinner, how I can get the chores done for the day or how to organize my time so that I can fit in a few hours of work. It's work in the sense that it's something that needs to be done and it has an energy cost to doing. It's also not really something you can turn off even if you wanted to.

I don't think I've ever seen a food truck drive around looking for customers. They're usually just stationed in one place for the day.

abc and xyz make sense because they lie on opposite ends of the alphabet, so if you need more variables for either sets, there's a lot more room to maneuver. If you're looking for the history of these variables in the context of Cartesian coordinates, I'd start with looking at Descartes' work. This whole system originated from him, so if he used xyz, then that must be where it came from.

I've seen p and q used in various contexts. For example, they could be probability distributions (e.g. KL(p|q)), they could be two points. In these scenarios, we just use p because it's the first letter of whatever they represent, and q comes after while looking similar so it suggests that they're the same type of mathematical object.

For indexing, it's what we commonly use just because we call it an index. You're not counting or tallying things. It's a reference to a location in memory. But if you are counting, then c makes perfect sense and I've definitely used it in that context. I've also used t for indexing if that index represents time. But if there's no other meaning associated with it, then it's just an index, hence i.

Was wondering the same thing. It looks very out of place. Maybe someone should edit it out.

The language is awful. You can either do basic typesetting or meta-programming. There's no in between.

How is their recommendation system?

A classic pairing

That would make sense considering that all of their neighbours were originally part of India before it was India and split off because of disagreements of some sort.
