Isn't it by far and wide the most common use of taxi services? It certainly is basically the only time I ever use one. Waymo getting into that space seems like a pretty big step up in market penetration.

Yes, but you could also say that it was created so that advertisers stop doing complete nonsense like tracking pixels and other roundabout ways of accomplishing the same thing in ways that are sometimes (often?) detrimental to the user. Sur

Nah, you're good. I've just been burned by Poe's law one time too many.

I really hope this post is a joke, but I can't tell for sure... "Powerline Ethernet is a simple inversion of POE" is like saying that an internal combustion engine is the simple inversion of an oil well.

Wait. Do people run agents as their own user? Does nobody setup a dedicated user/group with a very specific set of permissions? It's not even hard to do! *NIX systems are literally designed to handle stuff like this easily.

In this instance, I think "bootstrapped" might be appropriate.

What do copyright laws (which, don't get me wrong, have a whole kettle of issues for sure) have to do with this? DRM is just a thing that authors choose to put into their media. The fact that they do it because enforcing copyright via

I've been bearish of these efforts over the years, and remain so. In my more cynical moments, I even entertain the thought that it's mostly a means to delay aggressive regulatory oversight by way of empty promises. Time and time a

The issue with that reasoning is that it fails to take into account that risk is a commodity now. It's often more profitable to go for short term profit and offload your risk to an insurer who amortizes that monetary risk in a pool con

You make the distinction between something being in the standard library vs an arbitrary external package sound like a minor detail. It's not. It makes a world of difference. Having a hard guarantee that you are not dragging any tran

The whole "tries all possible combinations" thing is a very misleading oversimplification in the first place. Instead, think of it more like a completely different set of operations than classical computers that, if you were to

No, these are the proper laureates (for that topic anyways, whether the topic is appropriate in the first place is another matter). LeCun and Bengio's works are undoubtedly immensely impactful, but there's no denying that they are

The original value-proposal for Chrome was: The more people browse the web in general, the more Google profits. So the mere existence of a good free, fast, and safe browser would inherently benefit Google at large in general. And that ratio

You typically want a mix of UDP and TCP (or sometimes a weird TCP-like monstrosity rebuilt on top of UDP). Taking great care to design your data streams to be self-correcting (e.g. transfer a world location where characters are going towar

For me, at least, it's not so much the crypto ads in of themselves that puts me off Brave. The issue is that they are a manifestation of Brave's fundamental problem: It's a for-profit endeavor based around offering a free pro

The embedded RP2040 is really interesting. I wonder what the CPU<->MCU latency looks like. You can pull off some really neat stuff with very tight timing using that chip. Also an interesting addition for a platform that is clearly mea

Not necessarily either. It's not particularly hard to create a vector where in-order addition is the most accurate way to sum its terms. All you need is a sequence where the next term is close to the sum of all prior ones. There just i

Not necessarily. If the array is large and the values are similar, using accumulators would yield a more accurate result than a single one.

I used to (early 00s) be super big into GA and GP until a professor of mine at the time described the whole class of algorithms as "Marginally better than brute forcing". That really resonated with my experience, and was just too

by Chabsff 2y ago
It makes intuitive sense, but intuition is often misleading and deserves to be double checked. In this particular case, while there does exist a set of alleles against which you can cluster populations in a way that maps roughly to the set

by Chabsff 2y ago
Genetic clustering segregates people into a different set of groups than the ones that are involved in discussions such as this one. It's a different definition of "race".

I don't mind them omitting this particular set of numbers because the very strong correlation between race and socio-economic status tends to change the picture considerably when you control for it. The raw numbers are misleading in a

At the risk of repeating myself. The issue with Hot Coffee was that it cast a huge shadow on the ESRB system itself .
