A stable company that pays out their profits as dividends is reasonably valued at some x*profits. A company that reinvests these profits in things which investors believe will result in growth is valued x*future_profits, which is much large

Well, in any scenario where you need to verify someone's identity, privacy and anonymity not only aren't goals, but they aren't acceptable. Now you could argue that in many situations you don't need to verify someone&#x2

Interesting! Can you explain why OSes don't use it? I'd expect that it would be more efficient than doing the same thing with different instructions.

That is a valid use case, but IMHO the proper mental model for it would be not "SQL statement that returns a database" but rather "a synced partial mirror database instance", i.e. you have a local database server (likely

The key part of curriculum design is prioritization because you generally have a fixed amount of hours for a degree - every important thing you put in requires taking out something else, and learning a topic in more detail requires learning

It looks like you're talking about fuzzing, which has applications in both reliability and security testing.

UML is a tool to do something (namely, formal and detailed specification of systems) that in many places nowadays isn't really done. I think it is totally plausible that over 7 years of professional work OP has never been in a situat

If you switch to a different framework that does the same things slightly differently and makes something more convenient, and do that three times over the years, that's still perfectly consistent with "Software hasn't change

I think it is generally fine to not have out-of-cloud backups of data as long as you still have the primary copy locally (as opposed to data being only in the cloud), so you're screwed only if the cloud provider loses data the same d

It's interesting that on her LinkedIn profile she instead states that in Beijing she spent those 9 months in "intensive Mandarin Chinese language training" at a Chinese language program in Tsinghua University, not studying i

The parent post question presumably was about the impact she has had as an academic or researcher (as " the leading academic on the issue of AI safety"), where the political actions on some board are not relevant.

As an academic from a different field, this is not a publication record that would be anywhere close to someone being " the leading academic on the issue of AI safety". It indicates that she has had been one of very many partic

It's not a legal way to "launder" copyrighted images, because for things where copyright law grants exclusive rights to the authors, they need the author's permission, and having permission from someone and plausible den

If their legal assumption is it's not a copyright violation to train a model on some image, then it's logical that their ToS doesn't mention it, as they need the user's permission only for the scenarios where the law say

To add on to this - I just tested with my home microwave - I get 35-38dB attenuation, but I can still quite reliably get wifi packets to/from an ESP32 in that microwave.

You generally don't structure it as having a webserver, you'd structure it as an app (you run a single app on the device, there's no separate OS involved) that can react to HTTP requests - i.e. my mental model is that you don

The commonly used cheap devboards have everything included on the board, you just plug in USB and that's all you need. There are also 'premium' devkits with smaller and nicer packaging e.g. I like m5 devkits that are inch-by-

Thing is, 30-40dB is not sufficient to properly block wireless connections, they can still work with 40dB attenuation.

Sure, but if one in a million people bothers to check what it is actually sending through their router, then any malicious activity would get detected and disclosed to the public - and since that hasn't happened, we can assume that it

There definitely is a difference. For example, he is alive - in countries around me there are similar cases which didn't end that well.

We're talking lighter than minihttp and shizaru - instead of a separate process on an OS, you'd use library that allows your firmware to respond to http requests, but that still allows you to run all the relatively complex UI&#x2F

Alternatively, you can go high-level immediately - instead of accepting a UDP packet to set the color, run a webserver on it with functionality to change the RGB LED color that you can access from any browser. Modern microcontrollers have e

We needed a large highly isolating cage for a project and the cost-effective (but still costly) way to do that was to build our own, having local welders make a custom steel box and lining it up with rf anechoic pyramid foam, otherwise the

Many modern games that have only a single-player mode are still intentionally dependent on the servers staying up, and games that have both single-player and online modes will prevent you from playing the offline mode if they can't c

The difference is that you bought a perpetual, permanent license to that thing, not an ephemeral one. Revoking that license should be impossible without a full refund+interest.

Obviously, not all bots will be held to such standards - these are the standards which apply to western corporations who offer free bots for PR and marketing purposes, since 'politically incorrect' behavior stunts that goal, howev
