Shouldn't the training data be preprocessed to transform time values to a relative coordinate system? I would expect a time-series training pipeline to contain something like: 1. Define {N = context duration, M = forecast duration} upf

> I know it's not the same but if you give a sculpture a piece of clay they do not need 10000 options to mold it. Even a carpenter or wood smith don't need that many options. The digital equivalent of those disciplines are only

A lot of those options are necessary complexity, not incidental. 3D modeling and animation are just very complex series of tasks, you can't condense the options much without sacrificing functionality for some critical workflow. The onl

If that ends up happening, then the next step would be for the platform to derank listings that contain AI-enhanced photos, to set the proper incentive. That would be up to the platform to enforce, though.

The ID (and therefore the age) is checked when one goes to pick up their firearm at the local FFL dealer, so an age check on the site doesn't add anything useful.

Isn't this exactly the kind of problem that tariffs are meant to address?

I got curious what the wealth distribution looks like when normalized to account for retirement account growth. The historical average of the S&P 500's inflation-adjusted rate of return is ~7%. According to [0], the actual YoY incr

May I ask where this was? This seems like the kind of thing that would be highly dependent on the wording of the laws of your municipality or state.

It all comes down to cost. At scale, testing hardware is appreciably more expensive than testing software. The former requires specialized machinery that costs the soul of your firstborn, and the logistics overhead for each do-over means lo

While this is true, the unspoken factor here is compatibility. Fixing the design and operational model of Linux (or any Unix derivative) to a sensible default-nothing architecture requires completely changing the semantics of the OS, which

I'd be interested to see a Linux distribution whose entire shtick is to run well-behaved under a kernel with overcommit disabled. But it would be a huge undertaking. Besides the obvious issue with fork(), there are a lot of programs an

It's not as ludicrous as you think, for two reasons: 1. Bandwidth requirements scale quadratically with player count, since the state of each player needs to be broadcast to every player. You can optimize this with clever tricks like

I'm not sure why the author didn't attempt to dive deeper into the error message he saw. amd_vcn_dec sounds like it's an issue with the GPU's video decoding logic. If there's a timeout when trying to process a decod

1. For the vast majority of CRUD apps, active sessions will be a very small fraction of the actual storage requirements. A SaaS with 100K MAU may have only 100 or so active users at any given time. 2. Sessions by definition are ephemeral. A

Queues fix throughput volatility (not throughput mismatch) at the cost of added latency. If your widget producer is producing 1000 widgets every half-hour and 0 every other half-hour, and your widget consumer needs to consume 100 widgets

The government may use as wide of an interpretation of commerce as they can get away with. We've seen this happen before [0]. Sure, Let's Encrypt isn't taking money from the entities they offer certificates to. But the OFAC d

One of the important functions of a government is to act as a backstop for capital-intensive investments with long-term ROIs. The interstate highway system started as Eisenhower's proposal, GPS and the moon mission were funded to one-u

No. A mistake is unintentional. Go's rejection of a C runtime dependency is a deliberate trade off, and one that has served it well for its design goals.

That's because of people who treat AI like a magical "give me a finished product" button. Someone whipping up PowerPoint slides tends to care more about saving time than maintaining quality - the (usually watermarked) stock p

The inequality doesn't come from the creation of wealth so much as the destruction of it. Inflation and rising prices of staple goods (there is some covariance, but the latter seems to be outpacing the former) impact poor people dispro

SQL was designed with tabular data and a relational model in mind, and free-form documents have neither of those properties. You can shoehorn full-text search functionality into SQL - that's what the likes of MySQL/PostgreSQL&#x2F
