@denki @KarlHeinzHasliP I will keep it simply because I can't really afford a new one and because it's already there and works fine!

  • If it was broken beyond repairability & being able to get it through tech inspection, that story would be different, but yeah...

As for smaller vehicles I do propose that for the (hopefully fewer and fewer) edge-cases where #PublicTransport just won't cut it, that we go #smol as in #PersonalLightVehicle and thus more #efficient!

The FFT Strikes Back: An Efficient Alternative to Self-Attention — arxiv.org/abs/2502.18394
#HackerNews #FFT #Strikes #Back #Efficient #Alternative #Self-Attention #MachineLearning #AI

arXiv.orgThe FFT Strikes Back: An Efficient Alternative to Self-AttentionConventional self-attention mechanisms incur quadratic complexity, limiting their scalability on long sequences. We introduce FFTNet, an adaptive spectral filtering framework that leverages the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to achieve global token mixing in $\mathcal{O}(n\log n)$ time. By transforming inputs into the frequency domain, FFTNet exploits the orthogonality and energy preservation guaranteed by Parseval's theorem to capture long-range dependencies efficiently. A learnable spectral filter and modReLU activation dynamically emphasize salient frequency components, providing a rigorous and adaptive alternative to traditional self-attention. Experiments on the Long Range Arena and ImageNet benchmarks validate our theoretical insights and demonstrate superior performance over fixed Fourier and standard attention models.

As an ex bureaucrat, in the health/tech area but a bureaucrat nevertheless...

Most folks are ignorant of the reason for #bureaucracy

Part of it is the neo-liberals nonsense whining about #redtape and making things #efficient

Part of it, unless you have tasted the sausage AND seen the sausage making machine from the inside, you do not appreciate the need for the sausage making machine.

So here is my off the top of my head list of why bureaucracy is NECESSARY.

1. The primary function of bureaucracy is to keep records. Bureaucracy started back in Sumer, when the number of agricultural products and names against them exceeded this one person can keep in their heads. They used clay tablets.
But it still holds true if you use a database.

2. You need a cadre of personnel who KNOW how to use the clay tablets.
Sure they can't sheer a sheep or dig an irrigation channel or carry a spear.
Those folks are really handy to have around and you can recruit some of your supervisors from that pool because they have the right mindset.

3. The least appreciated part of the reason for Bureaucracy is...to act as a handbrake. You do NOT want the arsehole at the top, who has no idea how to make shit happen have his every whim executed instantly. The bigger the change, the longer it should take.
Or shit will break.

As to the expedition of the drones, you need the form AH-2245/d.

If there is not one, you need to create one. That's how things work.
If there is no form like that, some arsehole who does not appreciate how bureaucracy works tried to balls-to-the-wall that process.

We have a system and it works.
