Have you tried LXQt?

On Debian just install it and uninstall connman and it's pretty good for most tasks, especially low-spec devices.

"So we're going to put out everything that we think is of the highest quality"

Let us know when you start.

Some neural nets have been good at solving sticky programming problems. Whether finding game cheats, doing voice recognition, modeling proteins, or other tasks humans haven't done well at.

But an LLM is more of an information retrieval tool, so tasking it with clever algorithm design is asking the wrong tool the wrong question.

Then there are the people who complete in programming challenges. In high school I would sometimes stay after to do the ACSL competition tests - no big deal, the school was a five minute walk, and it helped my buddies who wanted a high team score.

Then they implored me to go to DC on a trip for a national competition our score qualified us for. This seemed so bizzare to me as a fifteen year old kid - I could stay in a run-down motel and take tests this weekend or go camping in a state forest with friends. I let them down, in a way, but the ask was totally alien to me.

I have nothing at all against people who enjoy such things but it's a subset of the algorithm minds.

So we now have the results of some competitive coders vs. the wrong tool for the job.

OK, mildly interesting, but does it tell us much?

Are any of the profits going to Gila Monster conservation?

So every international traveler could be searched to see if their meds contain any patent violations and seized at the border?

This is entirely unworkable.

And that's a problem. Too many things require you to read the mind of the package maintainer so you can not do things that they didn't want you to do (but never documented "don't do this, it works fine in this version but it won't work when we upgrade to another version".)

Didn't they say some rogue VP set up his laptop to torrent all 72TB of Z-Library to feel o-llama?

I wish my laptop had that many drive bays!

On exactly what the detector is capable of detecting. If they're looking, at any point, for radio waves, then I'd start there. Do the radio waves correspond to the absorption (and therefore emission) band for any molecule or chemical bond that is likely to arise in the ice?

This is so basic that I'm thinking that if this was remotely plausible, they'd have already thought of it. This is too junior to miss. Ergo, the detector isn't looking for radio waves (which seems the most likely, given it's a particle detector, not a radio telescope), or nothing obvious exists at that frequency (which is only a meaningful answer if, indeed, it is a radio telescope).

So, the question is, what precisely does the detector actually detect?

Some people so want to believe that a useful information retrieval system is a superintelligence.

The rest of us aren't surprised that an interesting search engine isn't good at chess.

Nice link to the 2009 editorial in Radiology. Did you also read the editorial arguing (and presenting data) that the linear no-threshold model is the best model we have? It's pages 6-12 of the same issue:

I'm familiar with some organizations that have been feeding their Slack data into a RAG for employee queries.

They're going to be quite pissed if this has been shut down by Slack.

atomicalgebra's assertion was that the LNT is not the correct model.
The report says that there is no evidence that LNT is not the correct model.
The linked report says that there is no evidence for atomicalgebra's assertion.

All I can say here is, you ain't seen nothing yet.

All the evidence shows it's wrong... assuming that you dismiss all the evidence that shows it isn't wrong.

I gave a reference. I can give some more, if you need, but since you didn't read the National Academies of Sciences one, I doubt you'd read others.

I implemented portsentry feeding fail2ban on edge servers to deal with the unrelenting scans.

It helps, somewhat.
