I wasn't conflating distillation. You are basically repeating what I said - you're describing quantization. The OP was talking about changing the computation. The article says the 8- and 16-bit integer approach actually had higher

Quantization compresses the model’s parameters and you lose precision in the process. My understanding from the article was that precision wasn't lost - 'It actually had higher resolution than Extended-precision floating point mat

"especially people already intelligent/capable enough to immigrate anywhere else that doesn't have these issues or stay in their own country" Isn't that the point? Come here legally or don't come at all.

"That's higher than any other president by a massive amount" - Any modern president. Abraham Lincoln had a 2859.40% increase. Martin Van Buren had a 1458.32% increase. We've had quite a few over 200%.

I'm pretty ignorant about these kinds of things so how does this work? If Valve can specify the court to be used couldn't the company always choose something like Alaska or Hawaii where it would be difficult to show up?

24 billion dollars for 184,000 homeless people (United States Department of Housing and Urban Development estimate). That's 135k per person. Where is the money going if not the homeless industrial complex?

Why not keep everything transparent and make lobbying illegal? I know neither secret voting or making lobbying illegal will ever happen but it seems like you're just putting a bandaid on an issue without regard for the consequences. Pe

I don't think we need to do it for every number. Account number, for example, could still be HTML. Balance could be converted, though. The harder we make it for scammers, the worse it is for them. I'm not claiming this is fool pro

Couldn't alt-text be used to address accessibility? Web scrapping shouldn't be a requirement of personal banking websites. Am I missing something here?

Wouldn't banks have content security setup?

I've tried a few different sites and I can't make it happen. I'll keep trying.

If you're interested, I would suggest watching some Kitboga. I don't actually know anyone that has had this happen but there are plenty of stories around the internet. I will try doing some img replacement with my own text and see

Had to look up FINTS. You are right about accessibility.

I'll give you accessibility. I tried changing images in the browser on the fly and it just hides the image. That's probably because the browser would need to make a new GET request.

They ask a person to login to their bank account with screen sharing. They then take control of the mouse and edit the HTML on the fly making it look like they transferred a large amount to the bank account. Now they ask the person to wire

Ask HN: Why don't banks render numbers as PNGs instead of using HTML?

Just upgraded an old system to solr 9. I've been very impressed with it.

There's a link in the article where Google says they are not phasing out third party cookies at all - https://privacysandbox.com/news/privacy-sandbox-update/ .

Third party cookies are not just used for tracking - they are also any cookies set in an iframe. There are legitimate use cases for third party cookies. Chrome recently rolled out partitioned cookies which addresses part of the problem. If

There will always be "haves" and "have nots". That's been the case since forever. Standard Oil ruled the world. AT&T did, too. I agree that monopolies are bad. We should pressure our government to break them up.

That could be viewed as a piece of "late stage capitalism" but that's only one part, right? The problem with the term is it's a catch-all for any perceived problem with capitalism. Maybe that issue is just a capitalism s

by 4RealFreedom 2y ago
"Late stage capitalism" implies that capitalism is doomed to fail. In reality it is a system of constant change. Wealth inequality has always existed. Some problems like housing are newer problems that require solutions but don&#x

The goals are a little different but I think it's worth pointing out ElasticMQ. I use it simulate sqs in a docker environment. https://github.com/softwaremill/elasticmq

The first thing I looked for was text and saw they used cars in an example. I thought the same thing as you 'this can actually get readable license plates?' I don't know enough about ML to understand the associated paper, tho

Yes. Nothing is perfect. The remedy they've chosen is to rely on insurance. There is a reason we call doctor's offices 'practices'.

I have a hard time with window resizing on my Mac all the time. I have to go slow and find the sweet spot.

Not exactly the same but an engineer I was working with wasn't handling a failure case properly and leaving transactions open. It was reported that the DB would stop working after a certain amount of time. I knew transactions were hang

I read about the viscosity difference in hot/cold water a while back. Every time I think about it while drinking water, I put my water down. I don't know why it bothers me so much but it does. I feel like I peered into the eyes of
