Early for a meeting this morning, I sat for a while on a bench in a very nice parkette until three(!) guys with gas-powered leaf blowers came moving towards me, kicking up black clouds of debris and crunchy leaf bits with their loud, smelly devices. Horrible things, explained here 😂

What is quantisation? At 16 bits, 27 billion weights would take about 54 GB. Approximate values save memory. The model still calculates, but its answers can change. Chapter 05 explains why.

What is quantisation?
How quantisation makes a language model's weights smaller, why the model can still calculate, and what 16, 8, 4 and 2 bits mean in practice.

Was too awake when I went to sleep last night, so didn't get to sleep until late. Did my 150th parkrun this morning. Eventually got myself to B&Q to look at bits for flat.. suddenly tired, but needed to do grocery shopping. Now home, but too exhausted to decide what to do!

Hi, interesting q. I'll give you a historical opinion.
It's yet another arbitrary way of slicing out a manageable bit of psych from the gestalt. It's essentially a superficially coherent methodology: behaviour is the one thing we think we can measure objectively. So it overlaps other bits of ψ.

The guy really did have an absolutely insane output, it makes me deeply sad that I won't be able to see everything in my language in my lifetime. Someone let me know when Rainbow Parakeet gets a translation that doesnt hurt my head to read
Q. Besides Black Jack and Atom, have you gotten into any other Tezuka stuff? A. I read bits and pieces of Dororo and I also read Alabaster! I recall finding Dororo very fun, but I need to go to back to it. Alabaster was supposedly the work Tezuka despised the most. It's certainly very bitter and twisted, and not at all my kind of story, but I found it nonetheless interesting and his usual ideas shine through, even if they have a much darker lens here. The art was also particularly great. Phoenix is something I've wanted to look at for a min aswell.

Given that Christopher “Moot” Poole met Epstein shortly before setting up /pol/ on 4Chan, which then went on to be the forum Q posted on, I think there are some questions to be asked as to whether QAnon was just a cover for making the actual conspiracy look like fantasy if bits of it came out.

Private is an illusion. Data centers are the toxic waste dump corporations don't want to buy. Every peice of the data centers are obsolete. They just want the warehouses empty. Computer science made very large advances last year. Manufacturing diamond quantum chips with over 60 q-bits. This is why.

I still think there should be a BBC Prom celebrating this music, with a concert and talks about its construction and diffusion into popular culture.
Idea: Pips Bop Prom that's just 90mins of BBC Countdown Music. I'm open to there being an interval. Matinée version for kids, isolating the bits of the orchestra. Talk + Q&A on the music as a cultural phenomenon (Dua Lipa remixes, Bill Bailey, bonkers dancing). #NotEvenJoking :D

Some bits from the article #RhysDarby
Screenshot from article Played by William Campbell, Trelane first appeared in Season 1's "The Squire of Gothos." The all-powerful and mischievous alien captured Captain Kirk and his crew for dining, dancing, and a sword fight. Strange New Worlds brought the character back into the fold, and Darby tried "grasping the legacy that William had done with the original Trelane." Instead of walking in the late actor's shoes, he looked at another piece of his costume, as he told CBR: Screenshot from article "I actually took the time to go and go to the Star Trek Museum and actually get my hands on the original coat. And so that was, it was kind of like passing on the torch, really. I got to hold that in my hands. I didn't put it on. It's very delicate. It's from the '60s, and it's very light. But it was just wonderful to be in the same presence. And then, obviously, you know, watching the episode a few times, and feeling what he was doing and getting into that character and being able to put my own spin on it." Screenshot from article Darby's first appearance also answered a long-running Star Trek debate about Trelane. Specifically, it firmly established that he was part of the godlike "Q Continuum," later introduced in The Next Generation's series pilot. In fact, series creator Gene Roddenberry reportedly loved the idea that Trelane was 'a Q,' though he never confirmed it one way or another. "The secret of Q being revealed at the end [of my first episode] that was kept quiet," Darby said, adding that "linking the fan theories and making it canon" was part of the fun. "It's a perfect role for me. I mean, who else am I gonna be?" he said. " I just love that this entity has so much power and mischievousness." Screenshot from article Still, seeing William Campbell's original Trelane costume only further instilled in him a sense of being a part of an important legacy. "It just blows me away that I'm part of this Star Trek franchise.... What I love about Star Trek is it really is completely universal. There are so many voices, there are so many races, so many species. It's really all- encompassing."

When I answer these QotDs, I try to remember to add them to my tumblr post. Mainly to collect it all in one place, but also, I usually include the core context of the question, which is useful if the original question post gets deleted later.

Note: Avenue Q has a lot of offensive bits & Spring Awakening is really upsetting in places but the clips are mostly OK (maybe give the Spring Awakening one a miss if you're not up for songs about masturbation & existential angst.)
