  • I did the math:

    Room temperature is often defined as 20 degrees Celsius (although I remember it being 23C in some old textbooks).

    20+16.6 is 36.6 which is the normal temperature of a human body.

    20+18.6 is 38.6 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.

    AFAIK ~42.0 degrees is lethal.








  • MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research

    The article was published 3 days after the arxiv release. How is this an “exclusive preview”?

    Successfully tricking existing models by a few crafted samples doesn’t seem like a significant achievement. Can someone highlight what exactly is interesting here? Anything that can’t be resolved by routine adjustments to loss/evaluation functions?










  • people will still be like ‘wtf’ haha

    People here (North Holland) are used to tourists and immigrants. A local could use “Hi”, “Hallo”, “Bonjour” or “Shalom” instead of Dutch-specific “Goeiemorgen”/other. If I say “Moin” or “Ciao” or “Hola”, people will understand and sometimes reply appropriately, but likely continue in English not Dutch. It’s something anyone would do for fun.

    “hyvää huomenta” and “terve” on the other hand are not widely known to be a greeting. “tesekkuler” will not work as “merci”. I don’t do that.

    Is French just the most commonly spoken common language, even in Germany and Czechia?

    No. This title is likely taken by Turkish.

    Or is it something else?

    Many phrases from European languages are common knowledge across Europe. I’m about to go grab some coffee. When I walk in to the coffee shop, I’m free to say “Hello” in one of 10+ languages and no one will think anything of it. Why would I do that? Maybe because I’m in the mood. Ciao!
