Generally you sum the coefficients from the polynomials to get a single set of coefficients. They are usually very close to the Taylor approximation.

And, should have used Chebyshev polynomials. Or if you look at libc, you'll find coefficients for a hand picked optimized polynomial that minimizes error evenly across the floating point domain. Actually minimizing error in the floatin

That's amazing. In Denmark it's closer to 25% if you don't count severances.

I swear I once saw a special encoder format built specifically for compressing south park episodes, but I've never been able to find it again.

Labor is more expensive in Europe because workers rights add significant overhead. A simple example, 37.5h work weeks and 5 weeks paid holiday is pretty standard. Then there are severances. Also, if you look at the median US wages, it'

Europe has this, and I'm a small employer. The question "what will it cost to let this person go if I need to?" goes through my head even before "is this person qualified?". Stronger worker protections lead to a div

I just bought a specced out 1950x on a x399 with 64gb ram (plus the box, power, etc) for about $800, which I think is the fair price for 3 year old hardware. It needs a GPU, but for my usecase it's perfect. I'm also in Europe, so

I've also lived in the US and now Europe. Don't get me wrong, each had it's pros and cons; as an individual both my purchasing power and quality of life was better in the US. Outside of universal education and healthcare, my

The person I knew who had the most people visit in his old age was as far as I know childless. Through a chance encounter he welcomed me to San Fransisco when I moved there. Everytime I'd visit he'd seem to have a new guest over,

In my oppinion EU governments already have their thumbs in more pies than they should. I think a more interesting point is how EU companies can hope to compete with the likes of Google if non-EU companies can effectively subsidise their EU

I had to look up counter-currents. Without looking too far into it, it seems to be a white nationalist publication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Johnson_(white_nationalist) I forced myself to read it since I

Great! Corporate taxes hit both productive capital and labor! Income taxes disproportionately hit labor in a world were capital is becoming more and more concentrated.

It really helps to keep unofficial ties to universities, both socially and professionally. Universities have random talks all the time that you can just go show up to and talk with people. I've also attended a fair share of Phd. gather

Photogrammetry algorithms that process multiple images independently and then combine the results. Unfortunately they tend to be CPU heavy, and what can be is done with GPU help.

I'm also aphantasia and never considered that people would do blackboard math visibly in their head. I, like you, use verbal memory to store numbers. But I've never been particularly good at doing math in my head. At the same time

Europe has VAT, which from a simplified perspective means that businesses don't directly pay any consumption tax, but have to charge VAT on the value of the goods and services sold to consumers. So for purchases within Europe, the end

Unfortunately doesn't make sense when you need to look up pixel 0.5,0.5 in the framebuffer. When dealing with cameras, the central point us rarely h/2,w/2. So you're really dealing with two sets of coordinates, camera co

Assuming your star is a single center vertex which is a vertex to all edges (like spokes in a wheel), then the optimal cover for all edges is 1, the central vertex. If you follow the algorithm, you will select two vertices and produce a cov

Another issue is agreeing on that bare minimum. I'm okay with shortcuts, but I need a clean git history as my mainstay to understand how the mess happens. Other's think that managing branches is a waste of time :(

Not that I would have thought of this on the spot, but ... The numerator and denominator represent different things. The numerator is "how many things", and the bottom is "of how many spaces". Asking what fraction of the

When you record a macro you record the key presses to the specified register (e.g. "qa" records the macro to register "a"). A long time ago (early university years) I needed to do some codegen, which I implemented with a
