Sometimes that is not enough: In this rocket malfunction, a part was installed upside down. It had arrows indicating the direction and only fit in its place in one orientation. Still, on finding that it didn't immediately fit a technic

Those criticisms arose from the preprint - the timing criticism (at least) was resolved in the final paper - both sides were given 3 hours (+ 15s increment).

Hacker News is ostensibly focused on programmers building cool stuff. A famous tech company doing something fairly minor will therefore compete with big news from a branch of natural science.

Kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared. So the 140mph car has twice as much KE as 2 cars at 70mph. It does depend how much of that energy is dissipated in the collision though.

What did you mean? You seemed upset to learn that they were still doing something ("Alas") - what did you mean?

Define "read" - you obviously don't mean "process" because that wouldn't make any sense. So you must be talking about something more specific?

How much of this is hindsight? The article seems to suggest that the 737 Max is poorly designed and incorrectly certified. Is the system really that broken? Who knew? Could anyone have known? Are other aircraft similarly flawed?

It may encourage energy to be generated unnecessarily, producing unnecessary CO2.

I wonder if we will discover that this tree is "hairy" - that there are thousands of isolated branches that departed from the main branch hundreds of millions of years ago. They wouldn't be "kingdoms", since they&#x

The author appears to fall into that category. They seem to acknowledge this: The above graph is misleading in one way though because it is dependent on a specific metric, GDT_TS, which only measures gross topology. If we care about high

Presumably this was timed to go with the start of the NIPS conference. Maybe they will present something there.

They don't remember all the previous scenes, just ones which are "novel" enough. But how do we decide whether the agent is seeing the same thing as an existing memory? Checking for an exact match could be meaningless: in a

I don't think that's a reasonable conclusion to draw from the fact the TV wasn't pure noise. Why would the agent not be able to determine that every noisy frame was one step away from every other?

But that would prevent the Go 2 compiler from using the given improvement to the runtime (i.e. moving GC).

I don't understand - as you say, cgo requires extra rules. Are you suggesting that extra rules will apply every time you cross a particular Go version boundary? This proposal doesn't seem to suggest that.

by Jabbles 8y ago
I'm not sure how this would work for changes that would affect a whole program. For instance, say Go wanted to introduce a moving GC, and say that required removing interfaces as map keys. How could a function that returned a map[inter
