I've been reverse engineering Deus Ex: HR's file formats on and off over the past few years, and decided to finally upload some of the code: github.com/rrika/dxhr
I have a blender importer and good progress on the scripting system too. If you want to collaborate, let me know.

I'm playing around with visualizing brotli.org decompression:
• yellow+orange+red are dictionary lookups
• cyan are single bytes (Huffman coded)
• gray are slice copies

I rewatched fight club the other month and one of the things that stuck out to me about the quirky disaffected genx vibe was how much he hated travel. it struck me like "oh wait, right, before the internet people didn't have friends in most cities"

The reason T*OT is basically already a masonic society is because of offline meetups. A huge advantage of freemasonry was travelers could have friends in cities they just arrived in

We postulate that DA guides such causal learning by telling the brain that the current stimulus is meaningful and to learn its cause. In the paper, you will see that such “retrospective” learning is different from RPE based “prospective” learning. 10/30

A lot of you requested a non-paywalled copy of the paper. You can access it freely here: science.org/stoken/author- It was also officially published today (not just an early release).

Here, we present an alternate theory of animal learning based on the idea that instead of making predictions following all stimuli, animals simply store their experience in memory and identify the cause of meaningful stimuli such as rewards when they happen. 9/30

Presenting MemoTrap🪤, a dataset of 2.5K examples spanning text completion, translation & QA, where repeating memorized text & concepts is *not* the desired behavior. We find that LMs perform worse📉 as they scale up, revealing severe failures in simple instruction-following🧵

Memo Trap, by Alisa Liu & Jiacheng Liu: Write a phrase in a way that starts like a famous quote but ends differently. Larger LMs are more likely to continue with the famous quote, suggesting they struggle to avoid repeating memorized text.Show this thread

I have switched to Firefox in the meantime, so here is the Firefox version of my patch to store the download URL as filesystem metadata on the download: github.com/rrika/firefox-

I enjoyed and relied on Chromium's feature to store download and referrer URL in file metadata. They removed it from Linux builds because they couldn't be bothered to fix their Chrome OS crypto (it leaves metadata in plain text)
Good news, I backported it: github.com/rrika/chromium

The idea is you perform pathfinding on the partially generated map each step. Using Tarjan's algorithm, you can efficiently identify choke points. Then you can ensure that those points are never closed off.
I explain in more detail in a paper I wrote.

Three bills just dropped in Arizona that would define "people dressing opposite of their biological sex at birth and exaggerating their gender" as "adult content."
It says they can only do it in strip clubs, not before noon on Sundays.
It threatens them with criminal records.
