Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are affecting online knowledge repositories such as Stack Overflow, leading to a 25% decrease in activity. This decline is not limited to low-quality content and affects posts by users of all experience levels. The impact is greater on posts related to popular programming languages. This decrease in human-generated data […]

CL-Forth is a fully supported Common Lisp implementation of the Forth 2012 Standard, working on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It successfully runs on CCL v1.12.2-82 or later and SBCL 2.1.0 or later. However, there are 7 failures in the File-Access word set tests due to an error indication with RESIZE-FILE. Despite compiling on LispWorks, it […]
Someone was puzzled as to why their Node command was cutting off output when piped to another command. After some investigation, they discovered that the pipe capacity is actually 65,536 bytes on POSIX systems, creating a limit that was causing the issue. This unexpected limitation led to a deep dive into the inner workings of […]
The next generation of Wi-Fi, also known as Wi-Fi 8, is set to bring improved performance and reliable service. The proposed “It’s Your Turn” (IYT) channel contention mechanism aims to enhance reliability by providing ordered device transmissions. This mechanism controls channel access delay and proves to be versatile in various network scenarios. The current distributed […]
The author discusses the importance of mastering our minds, emphasizing the power of attention and simplicity in achieving deeper clarity and freedom. They suggest that by observing our thoughts without judgment and focusing on the essential, we can cut through unnecessary clutter and engage more meaningfully with life. Rather than attempting drastic changes, the author […]
The diffusion model works by predicting the next frame of a game based on the agent’s actions and previous frames. By reducing the number of denoising steps, the diffusion model can be faster, with EDM being more stable than DDPM at low denoising steps. More denoising steps improve prediction consistency, especially in games with multiple […]
In this groundbreaking paper, the Gödel Agent is introduced as a self-evolving framework that revolutionizes AI-driven agents by allowing them to continuously improve without relying on predefined routines or fixed algorithms. Inspired by the Gödel machine, this innovative approach enables agents to dynamically modify their own logic and behavior based on high-level objectives through prompting. […]
Summary: The author discusses a homemade cooling bed setup as a cheaper alternative to the popular Eight Sleep bed. They detail the components used and the cost breakdown, naming their creation the “1/8th sleep.” The setup involves various items to pump and cool water through a mattress topper, allowing for a colder sleeping surface. Pros […]
Geologists are closely monitoring Mount Adams following an unusual increase in seismic activity, with six earthquakes detected in September, the highest number since 1982. While it may be nerve-wracking, experts emphasize there is no immediate cause for alarm, as the volcano remains in a normal state. Additional monitoring stations have been installed to gather more […]
The MCC analysis for the Ariadne energy transition project revealed a 30.4 percent increase in rail journeys due to the state-subsidised 49-euro ”Deutschland-Ticket”. This led to a significant shift from road to rail, reducing CO2 emissions by 6.7 million tonnes in Germany. However, the announced price increase to 58 euros per month is expected to […]
