You are technically correct, the best kind of correct. However! That would be a terrible UX/UI experience. While showing distances on a linear scale is accurate, it fails to capture all the information a person in an interstellar ship

For something like a transfer between Starships you can resolve a lot of those problems by (very) gently spinning the 2 craft. It won't take much force for the liquids to settle at the bottom of their respective tanks where you would p

Assuming you are talking about real physical dice and not an imaginary function that generates perfectly random die rolls. They are actually pretty poor random number generators. For starters, dice are chaotic, not random, the outcome is ba

It's not academic, it's a real practical reality. Alice runs many services and has a rather large attack surface. I don't want Alice to persist those secrets, only to have them briefly at startup (think joining tokens). Bob h

Sadly, the problem isn't the TPM or Remote Attestation. It's Google et al choosing to only talk to devices and software they like without concern for what the user wants or trusts. Compounded by everyone else just going along wi

I have 2 servers, Alice and Bob, Bob has a secret, I want Bob to be able to share that secret with Alice. However, I want Alice to be able to prove to Bob that it is actually Alice, that it is running the correct AliceOS, and that AliceOS w

Apparently TDP is 30 watts¹, according to the product brief. I would imagine it's a single PCB with flash chips on both sides then thermally bonded to the aluminum chassis. That should keep all chips at approximately the same temperatu

It mostly comes down to the consumer market not being significant enough by itself. A consumer may not notice a 10% increase in performance per watt or dollar. A large office building probably will, and a datacenter definitely will. I don&#

An Arc B580 will just about fit Flux.2 Klein (At FP8). However, you can also easily get much larger GPUs on RunPod or Vast at $0.25/hr. I would strongly recommend exploring that option, renting an RTX 5090 for an evening of image gener

And you're trying to rename unregulated gambling as something that is good for society. Exploiting people with gambling addiction is not a reasonable replacement for insurance.

Yes, but the examples where it's good has a name "insurance". It exists, it's generally well regulated, and is not easily exploited. The reason it works better is because in a prediction market, the person betting agains

I would assume somewhere in both the companies there's a Ralph loop running with the prompt "Make AGI". Kinda makes me think of the Infinite Improbability Drive.

They didn't exactly intimidate them down last time either. Piracy decisively won the war on piracy.

All TOS essentially boil down to "we owe you nothing and can change the product at anytime to anything we want at our sole discretion" Obviously it would be unreasonable to accept such terms without further context. The further co

My interpretation is that they built a simple virtual machine directly into the weights, then compiled a WASM runtime for that machine, then compiled the solver to that runtime.

Yes! Nixpkgs straddles both worlds, like a system package manager it provides a way to install packages and their dependencies. However, like most language package managers it also imposes a locking mechanism so that every input into the ni

You can, and it might make things a bit better. The only real way I've found so far is to start going through file by file, picking it apart. I wouldn't be surprised if over half my prompts start with "Why ...?", usually

Of course they did, in what world would they not have? You can't get any of these companies to take a single person-minute to look at an issue that affects you. However no problem putting a small country of people to work invading, rev

Ya know just today I was thinking around a way to compile a neural network down to assembly. Matching and replacing neural network structures with their closest machine code equivalent. This is way cooler though! Instead of efficiently runn
