• Training Juniors Remotely Is Possible. Here's How.

  Tools like Gather Town to encourage more ad hoc group interaction. One team I led used this tool daily for nearly a year, and the frequency and quality of our interactions were on par with an in-person office. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• Simple but customizable alternatives to VR meetings

  Well, after some more googling I found a good candidate: gather.town if anyone is interested. Source: about 1 year ago

• Do people miss informal chats with coworkers when wfh?

  I'm really digging gather.town for this. Our team has it set up & the ad-hoc "meetings" have gone up tremendously. You can choose to engage or not but it seems to be way more informal than slack for a quick sync, which is a gigantic strength imo. Source: over 1 year ago

• Do you agree ? I don't but this company also asked new joiners if they'd join at half of what they were offered. I don't know if they are feeling the heat or are we wrong about remote being best model for IT jobs.

  As mentioned above by @yowzas648 you should check out https://gather.town We started using it this week with my team and it is game changing, it does exactly what you just described. Source: over 1 year ago

• Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Geometric Perspective

  Usually when people are saying "LLMs can't reason" they are claiming they are unable to do logical inference (although the claims are often quite hard to pin down to something specific). Yes, an 8080 is capable of reasoning. Prolog runs well, see for example: https://medium.com/@kenichisasagawa/exploring-the-wonders-of-prolog-my-journey-from-the-1980s-31b4df592ef8. - Source: Hacker News / about 13 hours ago

• Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Geometric Perspective

  > LLMs by design are not capable of reason. This isn't true. A deep neural network certainly can emulate the logical functions we think of as "reasoning" (ie, AND/OR/XOR functions). See for example: https://cprimozic.net/blog/boolean-logic-with-neural-networks/ https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~axgao/cs486686_f21/lecture_notes/Lecture_08_on_Neural_Networks_1.pdf... - Source: Hacker News / about 13 hours ago

• Oldest cave art found showing humans and pig

  Fortunately, Yonatan (who was in fact the main engineer working on Google+) reposted it to Medium: https://medium.com/@yonatanzunger/how-the-price-of-paint-is-set-in-the-hearts-of-dying-stars-c33e520186a8 After he wrote it I pointed out most historical barns in many parts of the US are white, using whitewash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewash) which doesn't really change the conclusion of the article, which... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Show HN: Parsing books for time expressions with Python

  Https://medium.com/@gabrielcodes/parsing-thousands-of-books-for-time-expressions-with-python-b317dd534911 The website and data both have a lot of bugs, but it works for a lot of times, and it was a fun little project :). - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago
