Damn, that was fun! Though the pickaxe one nearly broke me (finally searching online helped me figure it out).
I got to level 30 before losing steam.

Raaaah, que c'est pénible de bosser avec des attributs WriteOnly dans Terraform !
Ces attributs ne sont présents que dans la config, et pas dans le plan, ce qui fait qu'on doit aller tirer la plupart des valeurs dans le plan et une fois de temps en temps "ah merde, c'est vrai que lŠ, c'est un attribut WriteOnly, donc faut aller consulter la config"... et si t'oublies, tu as juste une valeur nil et tu passes 4 plombes Š chercher le bug.

Fedex just shipped a package from Taiwan to NL for me, tried to deliver at a random time during a working day. Found me not home, then immediately threatened to send the package back if I don't leave delivery instructions. Then only let me talk to AI agents, who don't understand what I want.
This level of dysfunction is staggering. Surely it can't be good for their bottom line if packages are sent back across the world all the time?

”Coca-Colan isokenkäinen lobbari marssi huoneeseeni ja sanoi uhkaavasti, että ymmärrätkö, että nyt olet pelaamassa isojen poikien kanssa”, Puska kertoo.
Hänelle selvennettiin, että jos amerikkalaiset vähentävät suolan kulutusta yhdellä grammalla, se näkyy välittömästi Budweiserin ja Coca-Colan kulutuksessa.
Myös joukko yhdysvaltalaisia senaattoreita uhkasi vetää rahoituksensa WHO:lta, jos raportti julkaistaisiin. "

Pekka Puskan terveys­suositukset saavat yhä kansan kimpaantumaan

Verifying Chain-of-Thought Reasoning via Its Computational Graph
Current Chain-of-Thought (CoT) verification methods predict reasoning correctness based on outputs (black-box) or activations (gray-box), but offer limited insight into why a computation fails. We introduce a white-box method: Circuit-based Reasoning Verification (CRV). We hypothesize that attribution graphs of correct CoT steps, viewed as execution traces of the model's latent reasoning circuits, possess distinct structural fingerprints from those of incorrect steps. By training a classifier o…

Hierarchical summaries for primordial non-Gaussianities
The advent of Stage IV galaxy redshift surveys such as DESI and Euclid marks the beginning of an era of precision cosmology, with one key objective being the detection of primordial non-Gaussianities (PNG), potential signatures of inflationary physics. In particular, constraining the amplitude of local-type PNG, parameterised by $f_{\rm NL}$, with $σ_{f_{\rm NL}} \sim 1$, would provide a critical test of single versus multi-field inflation scenarios. While current large-scale structure and cos…

SDQM: Synthetic Data Quality Metric for Object Detection Dataset Evaluation
The performance of machine learning models depends heavily on training data. The scarcity of large-scale, well-annotated datasets poses significant challenges in creating robust models. To address this, synthetic data generated through simulations and generative models has emerged as a promising solution, enhancing dataset diversity and improving the performance, reliability, and resilience of models. However, evaluating the quality of this generated data requires an effective metric. This pape…
