For example poor people who have never thought about rising out of it... I obviously don't have numbers on this, but I strongly doubt there's a poor person on this planet who's never thought about "rising"

You can probably get better angular resolution with lenticular sheets. You see one image if you're dead on, and the other images if you're off to the left or right. Some napkin math says a couple inches of precision should be achi

Then it crashes in a nice, obvious way as soon as you execute one of them? Illegal instructions aren't usually that hard to debug unless they're related to memory safety issues.

Either you're writing embedded firmware and know exactly what core you're using, or you're writing an application that runs in an operating system and that system has a minimum ABI like RVA20 or whatever. It's

It's a little weird to truncate the history [0] of your open source project and lock the v1 commits in a separate repo with limited access [1]. Are the authors embarrassed of the commit history? [0] https://github.com/R

The description you've given for apt just sounds almost exactly like SAT, a problem that's very efficiently approximated. That's exactly how the --solver 3.0 flag on recent apt versions works [0]. [0] https://blog.

The challenge of hard rules like this is that they're always overly restrictive. I've made multi-thousand file PRs that needed two lines of description including the title, and 5 line PRs that needed a 1hr presentation to fully ex

Part of the point was to hand out copies to wealthy allies as a visible sign of favor. Physical arches are a little bit harder to dole out that way, or distribute around the nation. It was also cutting edge technology in a way simple arches

The general answer to this is Byzantine consensus, which cryptocurrency blockchains are designed to solve. If your nodes are willing to fail a little more politely (e.g. no lying, immediately crashing, etc) you can use something cheaper lik

States have been individually regulating gambling within their borders since they were English colonies. No one interpreted it as interstate commerce until PASPA in 1992, which was gutted by Murphy .

I think it's better to think of the hutter prize as a challenge to see how close people can get to efficiently approximating AIXI without the exponential cost of AIXItl. The fact that winners don't generalize well is just that the

It might not be optimal, but it's not wrong to call it the best available guess. That's basically assuming Occam's razor / Solomonoff induction. Hutter published a bunch of work about what it means to have an "optim

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If police treat every situation as a potentially dangerous engagement, they're actually actually increasing the likelihood that dangerous engagements occur.

Most of that volume is air, and I use vacuum bags for storage/laundry organization. My jackets only take up the volume of a few t-shirts en route. Sweaters are more difficult, because I don't want to put handknit fabric into a vac

The description is a bit exaggerated, but I regularly see families with a large overhead suitcase + personal bag + secondary bag per person waiting at the carousel. I don't think many of them are diving in the places I go to, but who k

I'm not sure what you're considering "heavier" clothes, but my layers work just fine to about -20C. It was a bit chilly the times it was <-40C, but I don't think that's what you meant? The comment covered sp

I really don't understand what people are putting in the 2-3 large suitcases I see them struggling to shove in overhead. For one, rolling luggage is usually a mistake for anyone who's not flight crew. I bring a week's worth o

What are the proper permissions for an agent? An agent shouldn't be able to read ~/.ssh, but that means a bash tool that spawns `cat` is different than one that spawns an ssh client. I don't allow my agents to use git commit,

I'm also not sure you can really learn chip production from widely available public information. It's a hugely complex industry where the details tend to shape larger strategies. For example, you can't really understand the r

You can do better than O(N^2) if your changes are monotonic /independent (or you're able to cache for basically the same reason). This usually requires either luck, a huge amount of programmer discipline, or very different program

If your CEO is going around talking about how your product will "most likely lead to the end of the world", people are right to expect you to be pretty careful in what you're doing. OpenAI allowed bidirectional communication

Isolation is a pretty standard requirement for lots of networks, especially gov. AWS provides isolation domains, and used to have a unidirectional cross-domain service called AWS diode. Or you can just configure your gateways properly &#x2F

It's entirely possible they're using something like block floating point, where most of the hardware is simply fixed point. AMD's NPU does this, for example.

Another year or two of RAM shortages should go a long way to closing that gap.

Even if that's the case, max_user_watches is never less than 8k unless you've set it lower for some reason. If the editor is prioritizing currently open files as it should, there should basically never be a problem even if project

Not exactly a strong argument if you need like 5 qualifications to demonstrate the issue. If the right node fails, if it happens right as you walk up, if it's raining, if your porch is uncovered, if your door doesn't hav
