It's not answering quite the question you asked, but Shannon - who invented much of this stuff - has some really nice practical arguments in the start of his amazing paper that introduced "information theory" [1]. It's a

Practically speaking, it's a simple measure of how similar two probability distributions are, minimised (with value zero) when they are the same. So it's often used as a loss term in optimisations when you want two distributions t

I think it's the usual meaning of shape, it's just perhaps that we don't typically think about what that really means. [I was an author of the Imperial study mentioned in the article, and I had some long arguments with my col

One of my favourite contributions to this debate: https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.10987 "On the Impossibility of Supersized Machines In recent years, a number of prominent computer scientists, along with academics in f

Behind in the "controlling or responsible for (an event or plan)" sense was meant, perhaps?

Dropping a link to `rlwrap` in case anyone is not familiar with it: https://github.com/hanslub42/rlwrap Note that I've never tried it myself with the mysql/mariadb CLI, but I have used it with other tools, an

I've tried that and while the laptop sleeps, I wasn't able to get it to wake up again. Which of course undermines the utility of it sleeping quite a bit :-) I didn't persist too much with it, so it's quite possible that

You can disable network connected standby with group policy. I did try that when running Windows on my machine, and it didn't improve the randomly-getting-hot-when-asleep for me.

You're right, checked my notes and it loses 8% on average over 8 hours. Agree that 900mW is high given that it's not supposed to be doing anything . It is what it is though ... haven't found a way to improve that. Re. the co

I have an XPS 9500 and have found this infuriating. I think there's two separate things going on: As others have noted, S3 sleep isn't supported, only S1 "sleep to idle" sleep. But I don't think this is the direct c

If it were 10 cores/CPU then 220,000 cores is 22,000 CPUs. At 100W per CPU that's 2,200,000W = 2.2MW. So more like a train than a Tesla!

I wonder if they've fixed the coil whine problem with this iteration. That's the sticking point for me currently.
