The WiFi Retromodem is a unique replacement for the external Hayes Smartmodem 1200 or 2400, offering simulated audio dialing for an authentic experience. Based on ZiModem software, it fits in most Smartmodems but has slight LED placement issues in the Hayes Optima series cases. Priced at $89 +shipping and fees, it requires installation by removing […]
The author got a cheap copy of A Programmer’s Guide to COMMON LISP by Deborah G. Tatar, interested in books from the time Medley Lisp environment was developed. Reviews by Daniel Weinreb and Richard Caruana highlighted the book’s unique approach focusing on a range of domains, not just AI. The book stands out for its […]
In rural Sicily lies Gibellina Nuova, a postmodern ghost town with a failed art utopia. Built in the 1970s after an earthquake destroyed the old town, the new Gibellina boasts surreal architecture, public sculptures, and a reputation as Sicily’s Marfa. Mayor Corrao’s vision of a cultural hub led to collaborations with world-renowned artists and architects, […]

Summary: Join the waitlist for a sneak peek of Stable Diffusion 3, an advanced text-to-image model with improved performance and safety features. Ranging from 800M to 8B parameters, this model emphasizes scalability and quality to meet various creative needs. Safety measures have been implemented to prevent misuse, with a technical report coming soon. Collaboration with […]
In this web content, the author Patrick R. Michaud conducts an experiment using Strawberry Pop Tarts to create flames in a toaster. Despite some initial concerns, the experiment leads to flames reaching 18 inches high. The experiment involves setting the toaster to its highest setting, jamming the lever down, and using non-frosted Pop Tarts. The […]
The author discusses the limitations of Pearson’s correlation and similar measures when comparing two sequences of data that may not have a linear relationship. They introduce Hoeffding’s D as a more robust measure of dependency that can handle non-linear relationships and outliers better. Hoeffding’s D calculates a statistic based on the difference between the observed […]
Diffusion models have been successful in image and video generation, and now, they can generate high-performing neural network parameters. By using an autoencoder and a latent diffusion model, our method extracts representations of trained network parameters, synthesizes them from noise, and generates new representations that outperform or match trained networks. Surprisingly, the generated models perform […]
