If you thought biology couldn't get any weirder, life finds a way: "We term females exhibiting this reproductive mode as xenoparous, meaning they give birth to other species as part of their life cycle."

This is wild
excited to finally share on arxiv what we've known for a while now: All Embedding Models Learn The Same Thing embeddings from different models are SO similar that we can map between them based on structure alone. without *any* paired data feels like magic, but it's real:🧵

This is crazy. People commented with things bots are attracted to and they rushed in. This seems like it should be addressable through shadow banning but that clearly isn’t happening

I like the idea of CI/CD for prose with grammar linting: docs.errata.ai/vale/about
"makes C a build-once run-anywhere language, like Java [...] reconfigures stock GCC to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + BIOS with the best possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable" !
