No, can't say I have. Does your SSID disappear for some time, or is the 5GHz setting turning off permanently? I've read about routers disabling 5GHz when they detect RADAR, because 5GHz can interfere with that use, and RADAR has h

Or, if you're in Germany, get a FRITZ!Box. It's been my favorite product purchase ever[1]. Solid performance, and the software is a bliss. Here are some niceties available out of the box: - Traffic prioritization (real-time, prior

OP, did you use OCR or find/replace on this email? Every occurrence of "OpenAI" in their message ends in lowercase L, as in OPENAL (with an amusing exception of the name in quotes). That includes the email to reply to. Also,

Ah, that's exactly what I've been doing, and unconsciously assumed here. I can attest it works very well, hence my confusion.

My feeling is that we won't see another Flash because the artists went to video platforms[1], and the developers are trying to make money on the app stores[2]. Flash was the most attention grabbing medium at the time (because of bandwi

That's a fun problem, here's a half scientific way to solve it: given a dictionary for every pair of languages, the "most succinct word" is the one with the longest definition in other languages. Technical terms like &qu

I really dislike the spare key solution. It forces users to either carry both keys with them all the time (and risk losing them together), or introduces massive friction into the account creation (have to fetch the spare key from whatever s

I think the DNS resolution is only one feature. The screenshot shows active connections, including duration and the local process path. That's a lot more powerful and interesting than a local PiHole.

The problem is that XML is a markup language, which is entirely incompatible with the way data is usually structured in programs. Your example is simple enough, but consider the following: <root> This is some text.

I installed LineageOS on my OnePlus 6 also because of lack of software updates. My experience was mixed: it works great, even my banking app. *Except* for the camera. The default camera app took blurry pictures; Google Cam from the app stor

That's much better, but like the original implementation it's still missing the -n flag for sort, which extracts numbers at the beginning of lines and sorts them numerically instead of lexicographically.

by BoppreH 4y ago
It's also not performing the numeric sort ('-n'), which is arguably the hardest part because it's not a Python built-in. A bad example all around. Here's my attempt[1]: import re lines = list(set(line for

The code is all custom and there are no instructions on the page itself, so its very unlikely a stranger would ever find and figure it out. But if it gets popular, that's a good idea! A few more details if you want to make your own: -

It might be just constraint propagation, but my Sudoku solver didn't have weights, the concept of close and far neighbors, an entropy calculation, or rules derived from examples. For those reasons I still liked the article.

I've heard it's because GPT's input is whole words/tokens, not characters. So it has little insight into their spelling or letter positions, unless it's explicitly mentioned in the training set (e.g. rhymes are easy

I still see problems with recovery. You either have to (a) carry your primary and backup devices with you and risk losing both; (b) lower your security by using non-hardware-protected keys; or (c) be unable to create new accounts on-the-go.
