Langevin Monte Carlo allows you to draw samples from... a probability distribution using its log gradient ∇ log p(x). By performing a sort of gradient ascent with noise you can navigate around the distribution. Langevin MC is heavily related to modern diffusion models.show more

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo frames sampling from a probability distribution... as a physics problem. By endowing "particles" with momentum and simulating their energy and motion through Hamilton's equations you can efficiently explore a distribution.show more

Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) is a particle-based approach... to variational inference. SVGD iteratively transports a set of particles to match a target distribution by applying a form of functional gradient descent that minimizes the KL divergence.show more

One common trick in MCMC methods is called 'burn-in'.... It allows you to produce better samples by letting the chain first converge to the target distribution, discarding the first few samples which may be out of distribution.show more

One of the simplest algorithms for sampling from a... probability distribution is Random Walk Metropolis-Hastings. It proposes new samples by taking Gaussian-distributed steps, accepting or rejecting them to maintain the target distribution. I call this pdf the "fidget spinner".show more

Startups achieve success slowly, building their company brick by... brick. Founders can develop marketing leverage by building a viral or network effects strategy or… by partnering with larger companies who have great distribution themselves and trying to reach through to the end customer with premium offerings. Companies that build their distribution by coming in at a lower than market price should follow up with higher margin products or they will find themselves in a competition that we call “a race to the bottom.” It is mission critical for startups to work to build distribution and market share, but they need to then provide something that their customers can’t live without, and charge enough for it to support the continued distribution strategy. Startup founders: Look at every customer as a long-term partner, because you want your business to be a long-term survivor. Look at every supplier as a long-term partner and make sure they are healthy. Look at every employee as a long-term partner. You want them to grow with you and with the business.show more

Over the past week, following the directive of the... political echelon and the recommendation of the IDF, three out of four aid distribution centers in Gaza operated by the American GHF foundation have begun operating. The American organization has deployed hundreds of staff including distributors, ushers, truck drivers, and security personnel to deliver food packages to residents in the Rafah area (Tel al-Sultan and the Morag route) and south of the Netzarim corridor in central Gaza. Israel continues to refuse to comment on the funding of the American initiative, which is being led by the Prime Minister’s Office and his military secretary, Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman, while fully excluding the Defense Ministry and COGAT. In recent days, Israel has declined to disclose information on how the American company is being funded, how salaries are paid to its workers, and whether the food supplies might be funded by Israeli taxpayers. Israeli officials say the centers are designed to serve up to 1.2 million Gazans by distributing weekly food packages to families. The distribution is being carried out by American workers, as instructed by IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, while Israeli soldiers secure the areas from a distance. The defense establishment plans to build four more distribution centers. According to Israel, the program is based on two key goals: first, cutting Hamxs off from humanitarian aid; and second, separating the population from Hamxs. The ultimate aim is to cripple Hamxs’ ability to govern and break its connection with the civilian population, making clear they no longer need it. Israeli officials say that for months, Hamxs has been running a cynical disinformation campaign against the plan, pushing a false narrative that the aid effort is part of an Israeli conspiracy to “displace” Gaza’s population. After the launch of the distribution centers under American security management, Hamxs took steps to intimidate the public, including threats and roadblocks to prevent people from reaching the sites. Despite this, security officials say residents are flocking to the centers in large numbers. In recent days, tens of thousands of people arrived at the distribution sites, where 35,000 food packages were handed out, each enough to support a family for five to seven days. Currently, the UN—expected to play a central role in humanitarian relief, especially in areas without distribution centers like northern Gaza—refuses to participate in the new aid program and has publicly opposed it. Israeli officials report that the UN has recently slowed or even halted its aid distribution in Gaza. To support UN efforts, joint meetings were held with IDF and COGAT representatives to coordinate logistics, improve traffic flow, and increase driver availability. Since aid truck deliveries resumed—prior to the activation of the new distribution sites as part of Operation “Gideon’s Chariots”—760 trucks have passed through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Of these, UN agencies have collected only 238. The majority of aid trucks have been looted, mainly by armed clans and local Gazans. Over 550 trucks are now waiting on the Palestinian side of the crossing, with the UN refraining from collecting or distributing the aid due to operational issues, looting, and what officials describe as low motivation following the launch of the new distribution system. A senior security official stated: “The fear barrier from Hamxs has been broken—Hamxs repeatedly tried to suppress the population and resist the distribution plan to maintain its control over food and, by extension, the people of Gaza.” Via איתי בלומנטל 🇮🇱 Itay Blumentalshow more

Here is the prompt to create a liquid gold... nav bar :) Have fun experimenting! Create a floating navigation toolbar centered on screen. Dark background, glassmorphism toolbar with blur and subtle border. Core feature - Golden active indicator ring: A sliding highlight around the active button built with 4 CSS layers: Glow - blurred warm gold (#e8af48) behind the ring, opacity: 0.15 Clip container - overflow: hidden, border-radius: 18px - this clips the gradient Rotating conic-gradient - sized 200% and offset -50% so it spins from center. Rotates 4.5s linear infinite. The gradient must be heavily gold-dominant:70% of the gradient = gold tones (#533517 dark bronze → #c49746 warm gold → #feeaa5 light gold) 2 narrow white hotspots (#ffffff, each only ~3% wide) simulating studio light reflections Between each white hotspot, a very thin (~1.5% each) hint of #ffc0cb pink and - blue for subtle chromatic iridescence - these must stay minimal, the ring should read as GOLD not rainbow The pattern repeats twice across 360° for symmetry Inner plate - inset: 2px covers the center, only 2px of spinning gold ring visible. Background matches toolbar. The indicator slides between buttons with bouncy overshoot easing (cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.2, 0.64, 1)). 3 nav buttons (Home, Search, User) with thin stroke icons, separated by subtle dividers. Plus a dark/light theme toggle - sun/moon icons crossfade with rotate+scale. On toggle click, the button bounces up to 1.25× scale then springs back. Add film grain noise overlay and radial ambient glow.show more

See these images? These boxes of aid and piles... of food are in the same place where the UN announced famine today in a report in which the UN lowered their standard so that they can claim there is a famine. These are images from today’s aid distribution in northern Gaza, piles of food left on the ground by civilians.❗️ This distribution site is where civilians from Gaza City receive aid. In addition to their false report, the UN also “lost count” of 6,000 trucks in the last three months.show more
