In the context of this paper it is interesting to remember that Rosenblatt's perceptron in the 60s was implemented in hardware with potentiometers for weights, tuned by stepper motors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

This article is critical of universal basic income as a solution for tech workers who do not get paid for the value they provide. I'm not sure what subgroup of UBI proponents the author is arguing against, because this is the first I&#

Ignoring the merits of that specific rule of thumb, it seems unwise to take advice from a VC on how much equity you should give to VCs.

An alternative would be something like a bag of rice or cherry stones. You can microwave them and they won't feel cold when they lose their heat. (See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30025026 )

I think not, because that would be a promise that the person would hold that office at least until a certain date. In reality, they may resign or pass away at any moment so you cannot make this claim. If there is such a property, "late

Very cool, thank you for your efforts! You mention that it is hard to check whether information is up to date on the CIA website. I see that Wikidata includes both a "start" and "retrieved" timestamp - as many offices ar

For sure - the first time I made popcorn on my induction stove I figured I'd put it on high heat for a bit to get it up to temperature like you would on a gas stove. Nearly ruined that pan.

I like induction cooking as well, but it's not _that_ fast. Assuming a 3 kW (usually it's less powerful) induction stovetop, 7 kg of water, 4 J/(g.c) specific heat and 90 C temperature increase, that would take at the very le

These are different problems that both need to be addressed as soon as possible, but for different reasons. Having said that, runaway global warming seems like the more pressing existential threat to me.

Truffles are more expensive in the US because they don't grow well there and most of them need to be imported from Europe.

A cookie popup allowing you to easily either accept or deny (you do not need consent for truly essential cookies) is legal and the intended way to do it, so at least those first two are perfectly fine - not sure about the last one. It is no

Not a silly question at all. Firstly, heat pumps do not need to extract heat from the ground, they can also extract it from the air or a body of water. The heat moved from outside to inside a building will always leak out eventually, return

Since the article doesn't bother to explain the regression method or its implementation, I'll assume this is ordinary least squares regression, a method invented over 200 years ago. It's only shown to work with two variables,

The undergraduate course was taught in Clean until a few years ago. Learning functional programming in Clean is a nightmare because it is impossible to find any helpful resources online about the language and the tooling is useless compared

What happens in the Midwest that makes it a carbon sink? Growing crops that turn back into atmospheric CO2 within a couple of months would be carbon neutral at best. "The strong atmospheric sink in the agricultural region is consistent

You can just use the ones suitable for induction stoves, though? I love my Bialetti induction moka pot.

I assume you're in the US. In most of Europe Whatsapp is the main communication platform. SMS is dead and Android is more popular than iOS, so no iMessage either.

You are assuming that it is possible to live cheaply within 25 minutes of a big city in The Netherlands. That's not the case.

As the linked article admits, it only sequesters carbon if it is plant-based, although I would wager that the production of single use plant-based plastics still results in net positive carbon emissions. Nearly all plastic is not plant-base

Not every part of the world has large amounts of cheap land available for wind farms. Land use efficiency is important there.

What is your definition of a "big tech company"? Do you only mean very young startups? Going by valuation, Revolut is pretty small. ASML is 40x larger than Revolut and 4x as large as ARM. NXP and Adyen are both about as large as S

The claim also applies to GANs as you can simply use a masking function to indicate which inputs were used for each optimization timestep, like the author suggests for stochastic gradient descent in remark 5.

Flash loans let anyone borrow a large amount of crypto with no collateral, provided the loan amount plus a fee is returned in the same transaction it is borrowed in. No collateral is required because there is no risk (assuming no exploits).

A quick calculation: space heating in food service normally uses 46 trillion BTU of energy [1]. That's 0.05% of all energy consumed in the US, which has dipped by about 10-15% [2]. So if these space heaters would increase heating energ

The plastics are made from carbon directly harvested from the ground (oil). Burying them is carbon neutral with respect to atmospheric carbon. The carbon in the paper comes from the atmosphere and burying it is therefore a carbon sink.
