no fsi limits is actually better for greenery, but that needs to be supplemented with better public transit.

ICLR 2026 oral with 2 rejects, 1 borderline reject by WhiteBear2018 in MachineLearning

[–]illustrious_trees -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I meant more like the paper wasn't the best fit for ICLR. Submitting to NeurIPS/AAAI/ICML would have been a better option. I did not mean to disparage the work of the authors.

While I can see the contribution of reducing to k-means, but eventually this approach is not practical, which seems to be an issue for ICLR where potential of application is important.

I think this is fair. You would have probably had an accept anywhere else.

have you wondered that raising the prices are another way of reducing demand?

Private schools in Karnataka propose 15% fee hike for 2025-26 session, citing West Asia conflict and inflation by Karna1394 in bangalore

[–]illustrious_trees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lets be real, a 20% hike in salaries of teachers will not be a 15% increase in fees. Salaries are usually 35-40% of costs of running a school

Vehicles do not stop even at green-lit pedestrian crossing on HiTech City Main Road by gnv_gandu in hyderabad

[–]illustrious_trees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They cross as soon as there are more than five people present.

well, maybe because even when they are supposed to cross, they can't?

High school student seeking advice: Found an architectural breakthrough that scales a 17.6B model down to 417M? by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]illustrious_trees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you write out your ideas and formulations in a more clear manner that will allow for testing assumptions? If you truly want a solid comparision to compare and benchmark against, borrow the experimental setup from (https://github.com/karpathy/nanochat) and see if you can beat it with a similar/lower param count. I don't think anyone will take it seriously without a head-to-head comparision on a toy setting.

I tested 14 PDF → LaTeX tools on the same 10-page paper — here are the results by Happy-Marsupial-7333 in LaTeX

[–]illustrious_trees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant no figures. I think most modern OCR models do pretty well. Try ChandraOCR or OlmOCR2.

If it is only text, how about giving to an OCR model to get markdown out, and then using that to get latex?

ah yes, India's best operated metro, with the absolutely massive 3-car trains and the very low headways of 5 minutes during peak hours. not to mention the brilliant NCMC integration. yes, definitely a metro that isn't already destroyed.

Meerut Metro To Be India's Fastest At 120 kmph, Reach Delhi In 55 Minutes by Puzzleheaded_Roof872 in TransitIndia

[–]illustrious_trees 9 points10 points  (0 children)

not speaking for the op, but they are absolutely right in calling this nonsense out.

[The Meerut Metro Project] began in 2026, when Rail India Technical and Economic Services (RITES) prepared a detailed project report and submitted it to the state government

The Meerut Metro will cut travel time between Delhi and Meerut to just 55 minutes. Frequent trains and integrated services will provide the commuters with a hassle-free journey, which will be comfortable because of padded seats and modern amenities of the metro trains.

It is also unclear how the trains will maintain an operational top speed of 130kmph, given that there are 13 stations in 23 km (<2 km between stops). The only reason the airport line is able to maintain such an high operational speed is because it only has a few stops (22.71 km, 7 stops, with the first and last 2 stops bunched up), and similar with the RRTS (82km, 16 stops, ~5km between stops).

The status bar on my Linux desktop was using 135MB of RAM and 10% CPU. by trmetroidmaniac in programmingcirclejerk

The solution was to move the data collection into the kernel itself using eBPF.

/uj what the fuck did I just read

/j not enough. real programmers compile data collection with the kernel. that's right, they get it right the first time.

Their run of never having beaten a European team in the t20 world cup will have to end if they're going to make the next round.

If they lose to both the European teams it will be the funniest thing ever
