You probably can, but why would you? The main (only?) reason to ignore the CUDA-based stack is so that you could save a bit of money by using some other hardware instead of nVidia. So the amount of engineering labor/costs you should b

It all depends on what do you mean by "fast enough" - the self-correction mechanisms would trigger after the population has shrunk , not when it starts shrinking; and it would apply to the generation after that . Also, we might

That would be fine if we could somehow magically change the English language so that this would universally match how people call these symbols around the world - but that's not likely to happen.

Well, no, the above solution is to have a {} if and only if explicit scoping is desired instead of having just as many {} as there would be (). Sometimes you need explicit scope for a bunch of things and the code would benefit from it. Th

Not really - there are various self-correction mechanisms which simply aren't active (yet?) because the low birth rate isn't actually resulting in a shrinking population (due to immigration) so there is not problem to fix (yet). M

I'd (obviously? perhaps not) define the "size" of the simulation as the amount of information (i.e. uncompressible state) it contains, simply because for other measures of size many trivial simulations are infinitely large wh

You're allowed to make backups of your physical media with copyright-protected works and replace them with fresh perfect digital copies if they degrade.

Why only my lifetime? If I buy a copyright protected work, the doctrine of first sale asserts that I have the right to transfer it to anyone else, and if I die before doing so, whoever inherits me should have the rights to access to every s

It would help avoid these issues, but if you're a payments startup then you probably want to actually keep some control over your core business instead of just being a reseller intermediary for an actual payments company which holds yo

Your argument is much less effective at making me trust Waymo than the accident video could be.

Quantity of information - a simulator whose state itself can be expressed in X bits can't possibly have a simulation with X+1 bits of incompressible state.

Much of the supply chain was already on Ukrainian territory; in USSR, significant parts of the missile&turbine manufacturing capacity were located in Ukrainian SSR, and the same applies for nuclear industry.

Ukraine had various facilities and personnel used for manufacturing and maintaining the missiles. Not having the launch codes means they can't launch them at a moments notice, it wouldn't prevent them from taking the missiles to a

It's nice, but it does group them too aggressively - the places I care about were full of (2) entries where both actual spots wouldn't even overlap, and the (2), of course, was in the in-between spot where there isn't anythin

Why wouldn't it help? I think entirely the opposite, if they believe that SF city government has political reasons to misinterpret the evidence, then putting the evidence to the general public can act as a check to the SF government, p

It's not enough, because at least for me and a few others (e.g. the neighboring comment "If the footage is not released to the public I'm going to assume it makes Waymo look bad.") being able to judge the event personall

Yes, even for "western nations in the aftermath of WW2" we can look at Spain and Portugal with Franco and Salazar as counterexamples, as well as some post-war leaders in e.g. USA and UK.

For server applications, the trends of virtualization and microservices mean that having "machine" dedicated to running a single application is a very common scenario, and also for server VMs running a bunch of apps it is not obvi

Yes and no - the final skills can be acquired well in apprenticeships but for the basic knowledge it is more effective (or at least more efficient) to teach as universities do; if we look at the major professions where universities have t

That's kind of expected! A relevant perspective from looking at this is the Technological Readiness Level concept ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_readiness_level ) - you'd expect university research

I think that even if it would be trained on a large set of actual CSAM data, it makes a very practical difference that the "marginal cost" of new images doesn't imply more abuse. E.g. I have a local example in mind after a lo

I think this goes counter to the concept of CSAM - the entire reason to switch away from the earlier term of CP was to explicitly make a point and emphasize that it's not about titillating material involving children but rather that it

From the mortgages, just as they should, and just as the borrowers (i.e. "the willing participants") deserved to pay - it's not a burden on some unrelated taxpayers.

The 2008 bailouts were all loans and taxpayers made a profit on them as they got repaid - see https://money.usnews.com/investing/articles/2017-01-19/finan...

On the other hand if it doesn't pop, then it literally doesn't matter if the income documents were fake, as the bank has good collateral and giving the loan turned out not to be a mistake.

When people say crime is getting out of hand, while it's actually decreasing, all it means is that apparently the trends of average rate of crime doesn't match the trends of the particular types of crime or the location that act

This is generally true for primary production like agriculture, however, agriculture is something less than 5% of our effort, and for the majority of our economy we have the opposite effect where economies of scale enable much greater effic

It's $500m that went to "honest Canadians" selling their real estate. The house isn't gone, it's still there, and will probably get sold to Canadians when the bubble pops, possibly much cheaper.
