This feels like a publishable result if the researcher can tie it to activation of mirror neurons and present it as a novel therapeutic pathway.

I drafted several local-only designs for testing these models and that estimate looks about right (for sharding only, where most ancillary strategies come with some pretty big tradeoffs).

It turns out the actual answer in practice is specialized private compute rental, meaning the actual hardware is generally shared. That made a lot more sense to me once I had an intuitive grasp of the fact that every second of idle time on a platform capable of running these bigger models well remains an intolerable expense, simply because they are built for specialized enterprise data center infrastructure.

Put another way, to host locally you would end up needing to rent the idle time in order to make the infrastructural investment make sense financially, at which point you’re running your own data center and arrive at essentially the same destination.

Well-outside my wheelhouse mate, but since it’s been 3 days I’m likely all you’ll get…

Patellar reflex.

It’s a [muscle] stretch [-correction] reflex (sympathetic response) which occurs in the bones protecting the spinal cord (vertebrae depicted in OP) of many animals that have them.

Your doctor activates this reflex on purpose by gently striking an exposed tendon beneath the patella (the knee bone) to observe the strength of the response.

A lack of it (the joke above) is always abnormal and merits further investigation, as it could suggest neuropathy or injury to the central nervous system.

Hmm, sounds like one big project to me, and it appears to be going well. Keep up the good work.

Most of them were wait staff too, there or elsewhere, so they’ve seen plenty.

Inflectiones, now with Tajín!

Well said, my liege.

If cookies were actually necessary for the operation of a site I was responsible for, I’d include a phone number that any visitor could call to receive an actual cookie. And then every weekend I would bake some cookies and send them to the visitors crazy enough to call me and invoke the cookie clause.

Oh my

You can detect them with older mobile hotspots with a chip capable of promiscuous mode. Right now mine’s just a canary, a heads up that someone is operating an IMSI catcher nearby, but if ICE is active in your neighborhood having something like that but with more range could be useful for community early warning networks.

Hey, that’s awesome. I hope one day all the energy and brain power currently funneled into surveillance/marketing/control will be applied to problems like this. It’s the kind of common-good problem most engineers would prefer to work on anyway.
