- SunJun8's original issue text is still available at the linked issue. The gist is that Nous Research's Hermes appears derivative of (or heavily inspired by) EvoMap's Evolver (https://github.com/EvoMap/evolver), but without attribution.

- Issues #17688 and #27266 repeat this request for attribution.

- teknium1 retitled the original issue to "." and edited the issue text to "."

- Nous Research deleted comments from 4 users, including the issue submitter, and blocked all of them.

- No formal response has been given by teknium or the Nous Research project. It appears they are trying their darndest to brush it under the rug.

- EvoMap posted a whole manifesto (https://evomap.ai/blog/hermes-agent-evolver-similarity-analy...) about the similarities.

Plagiarism is bad, even in the age of AI, whether perpetrated by SV or China. If credit is due, give it. Else, all it costs you is your credibility. If credit is not due, make an official statement as such. It's absurd to take (seemingly valid) criticism and sloppily paint over it.

It makes total sense to me that committing terrible crimes should be punishable. When a criminal per domestic law resides in a different country (and the issue crosses national borders), it seems to me (not a lawyer) that the determination of appropriate force must be decided by an international group.

Otherwise, what's chilling to me is... what stops a country from unilaterally abducting anyone they want? The country doing the abducting determines the laws that have been violated, after all. In this document, we've explicitly determined that international law has no bearing on domestic consequences. So do whatever you want, so to speak. Freaky stuff.

Mind you, his messaging on corruption in government, domestic terrorism, Ukraine, and the free-market economy in the U.S. is all over the place.

> ... international law does not prevent [us] ... from ... arrest[ing] individuals [residing in a foreign state] for violations of United States law.

God, that's chilling.

> Congress has declined to amend relevant statutes to deny the Executive the ability to engage in rendition.

> Congress's continued appropriation of funds to the agencies known to engage in the practice should be taken as (at minimum) acquiescence.

So, because our Congress can't pass a bill handed from God himself unless it fills their coffers, we're silently consenting to this baloney?

And I get that legal precedence is a thing, but we shouldn't be looking at military operations in Haiti, or Libya, or Iraq as justification for more international shit-stirring. It's a slippery slope.

Albeit semantics, rebranding to the War Department is not good optics if one intends receive said department's advice before carrying out "a use of force that ... does not rise to the level of war in a constitutional sense". This nonsense is maddening.

I had no idea benzene was used to decaffeinate coffee [1]. Solvent separation makes sense, but I'd never really thought about it. Definitely not a residue I'd want to drink.

From an amateur chemistry perspective, benzene is so fascinating. Benzene rings are one of the first, maybe the very first, structures students learn that don't have fixed, discrete bond counts. That they can be interpreted as a cloud of 1.5-electron bonds between each of the 6 carbons, or alternating double- and single-bonds, makes for some interesting hand analysis of molecules.

I think the idea is, as a put buyer (market taker), this has already been baked into the option premium. The only "maintenance cost" in the sense of a cost that adds to an open position is from interest on margin loans.

There would be a maintenance cost from rolling the position into a later expiry, but I think the impression is that this is a precise single bet.

EDIT: You're spot on about opening a position being a sort of cost too, due to missing out on risk-free returns. This is especially important for hedging. Less so for a directional bet.

For those confused how they managed that geometric analysis, the sea level rise mentioned in the paper [1] is caused by groundwater depletion. The tilt is caused by groundwater depletion. The sea level rise is not caused by the tilt.

>> MathWorks experienced a ransomware attack. We have notified federal law enforcement of this matter. The attack affected our IT systems. Some of our online applications used by customers became unavailable, and certain internal systems used by staff became unavailable, beginning on Sunday, May 18. We have brought many of these systems back online and are continuing to bring other systems back online with the assistance of cybersecurity experts.

Now, being able to use a hot-swappable audio sensor instead of an ear made of tissue would be pretty dope.

MCU is an STM32H743IGT, external SDRAM is a Winbond W9825G6KH-6, and audio CODEC is a TI TLV320AIC3104IRHBR.

This effect is pretty neat. From the paper [1], the quantum solver can only do what they call "square root SWAPs", which is like a tile swap that relies on certain superposition rules. The classical solver can only use standard tile SWAPs. The combined solver can do both. A little over half the puzzle states are solved faster by the classical solver, but certain tricky states benefit from this new "move type". So the game had this quantum-like computation option tacked on, but certain initial positions just don't benefit from it.

I don't see any sort of "applications" section in the paper. They talk about how I guess you could build the puzzle thing with "arrays of ultracold atoms in optical lattices", but that still doesn't answer the question. My takeaway is that even problems which benefit dramatically from quantum algorithms in some cases (in a future where that's cheap and widely available) should have careful algorithm design built on other heuristics.

Aside, I tried to copy the title to search for context about this elsewhere:

Well, that's... something. No ma'am, I don't think I will.

> Larger stars like the Sun show a mix of radiative transfer – photons being absorbed and reabsorbed as they make their way to the surface – and convection.

> That enhances M-dwarf flare activity as their plasma is twisted and rotated, producing magnetic fields that snap open only to reconnect.

This is the first post I've seen targeted toward generic geeks that explained it that way. It makes total sense, is really cool, and I'm glad they wrote this article.

>> Its more like, here are some possible answers where there were none before.

That's a good point. AI doesn't need to be an authority, but another way of generating leads, maybe when it would be time-intensive to do so yourself.

If it's not prohibitive to do the digging with a human, do that. Because if adequately trained and rested, the human will perform more reliably.

> You upload a protest photo into a tool like Gemini and ask, “Where was this taken?”

Okay. So let's say we proceed with the recommendation in the article and interrogate the GenAI tool. "You said the photo was taken in Paris near Place de la République. What clues did you use to decide this?" Say the AI replies, "The signage in the photo appears to be in French. The license plates are of European origin, and the surrounding architecture matches images captured around Place de la République."

How do I know any better? Well, I should probably crosscheck the signage with translation tools. Ah, it's French but some words are Dutch. Okay, so it could be somewhere else in Paris. Let's look into the license plate patterns...

At what point is it just better to do the whole thing yourself? Happy to be proven wrong here, but this same issue comes up time and time again with GenAI involved in discovery/research tasks.

EDIT: Maybe walk through the manual crosschecks hand-in-hand? "I see some of the signage is in Dutch, such as the road marking in the center left of the image. Are you sure this image is near Place de la République?" I have yet to see this play out in an interactive session. Maybe there's a recorded one out there...
