• I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I know scamming is an integral part of America and an integral part of the world, but I feel like the white hot center of scamming is the PumpFun Telegram Solana confluence.

    It is fun to make a token on PumpFun, but just the amount of sheer scammery that happens once you create a Telegram group, I’ve never seen anything like it.

    In a way, it scares me that it’s a preview of things to come. That the 21st century will just be one long, unending scam. That any technology will be co-opted to just scam, and that the technologies that are being created facilitate scams better than they used to.

    Chwowww, all I gotta say is the shit sucks and is terrible for you. Like junk food dipped in pesticides.

  • I have a question related to MEV rewards. If the validator has MEV boot enabled, will the builder keep the priority tips and share only the MEV profits with validator? or validator receives both MEV profits + priority tips?

    In [beaconcha.in](http://beaconcha.in/) it seems like for total EL rewards shown in the UI, priority tips are are ignored if there is a MEV reward for that block. But if MEV rewards are not available priority tips are added to EL rewards total.

  • As a math major, I was interested in seeing what different fields of mathematical research looks like. I decided to just browse the Arxiv, but I can’t help to notice the difference between Stat.ML and CS.LG sections.

    From my understanding, they are both suppose to be about Machine Learning research, but what I found was that many of the CS.LG articles applied ML to novel scenarios instead of actually researching new mathematical/statistical models. Why are these considered ML research, if they are not researching ML but using it?

    Does this reflect a bigger divide within the machine learning research field? Is there some fields in ML that are more suited for people interested in math research? if so, are those generally hosted in the math/stats department, or still under the CS department?

  • I just have to share this small win with someone.

    My long-planned solo birthday trip to Ireland this September hit a small snag a few days ago. I got an email from AARP/Expedia letting me know the property I’d booked at had permanently closed.

    Crap. I’m kind of upset. I’m a very picky person when it comes to accommodation, both budget conscious and unwilling to stay in places that are uncomfortable. It’s part of the reason I book everything like 6-12 months in advance. It’s also like the only thing I *must* have preplanned for my sanity. Luckily, I’d booked through AARP and they offered to book me a new room at no extra cost.

    Initially they offered me a mediocre looking guesthouse in Clifden, it was fine but not as nice as what I’d booked originally. I’m not one to make a fuss to an underpaid call center employee, but I asked for other options and was offered the Abbeyglen Castle Hotel for no extra cost. The room I’d booked was €95/night, the rooms at Abbeyglen are €300+/night. I jumped at the chance because I’ve driven by this hotel three other times in different trips and it’s just the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen but it’s so far out of my budget it’s just never been possible. A €700 stay for just €200 AND on my birthday trip? I’m floating. Probably won’t get the chance to stay somewhere this nice for another 5-10 years.

    Anyway, all this to say that I am constantly reminded that flexibility is the most important skill to cultivate when learning to travel. I have a tendency to panic when things change at short notice, but sometimes you end up with something better than you originally had. Strive for adaptability in your life.

  • The journey to a successful drop shipping business doesn’t have to be a solo adventure. Finding the right partner could be the catalyst you need to turn those modest sales into a thriving enterprise. It’s about sharing the load, transferring knowledge, and ultimately, building something greater together.

    Remember, if your website hasn’t gained much traction, it’s more than okay to seek help. Partnering with an experienced entrepreneur could be the strategic move your business needs. So, why not explore the possibilities? Great things never come from comfort zones.

  • Hello, I have a layover of approximately 9 hours at Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) between two flights. As a non-EU citizen, I’ll need to go through immigration control. I’m wondering if it’s feasible to visit the Santiago Bernabéu stadium (e.g., take the tour) during this time. Considering the time for immigration, travel to and from the airport, and the visit itself, do you think it’s possible? Any tips on transportation or time management? Thanks a lot!

  • Hi all. A small question regarding encoding the position of inputs to a transformer model.

    How would you encode a set of sequences to a (bidirectional) transformer? For a sequence we have positional encodings. For a set we can just work without them. What about a set of sequences {s\_1, …, s\_n}, where each s\_1, …, s\_n is a sequence, but their relative order does not matter?

  • I am planning a surprise trip for my 10 year old to Corpus Christi, TX. This will be my first time coordinating a trip all by myself lol! Our main objective is to go to the Selena Quintanilla museum. I am planning for us to stay Thursday-Sunday this November. I assume that it won’t be warm enough for the beach or any outdoor pools so I am having trouble finding other activities. I am open to traveling to other cities as long as the drive isn’t more than 3/4 hours. I really want us to experience Texas! I want us to go to a rodeo or some kind of sports game! If anyone has any recommendations, that would be awesome!
