I think that the author implicitly relies on the unstated assumption that for business related databases the vast majority of non-integer data is money (which is quite well served by fixed point arithmetic with limited precision) and any ot

No, no, that's the whole point - assuming standards-compliant users and attackers who follow this RFC, this simplifies firewall operation so that all packets with the evil bit off are not evil and can safely be forwarded, as any malici

Almost every society in the world does literally pay money to mothers in the form of mandatory paid maternity leave. The only exceptions are the United States, Papua New Guinea, and a few island countries in the Pacific Ocean (namely the Ma

Contrary to the definitions in the other answers, I'd assume that this refers to selecting positions from the database where that's the only difference in material - so "clean up a pawn" means that all the other figures

IMHO it absolutely does not matter what the internal investigation determined and how the doorbell interaction went, it is unacceptable to disable the purchased equipment no matter what - even if they were literally convicted of a felony. I

If you want a constraint for such a column, then due to nature of our complex writing, it has to be separate from the actual field type and physical storage allocation - it's the equivalent of an integer field having a constraint that

I often used google to search for technical things from documentation sites - and what I've found out is that ChatGPT provides better answers than the official documentation for most tools. So it's not about a searchbot doing bet

The way I see it, it's clear that human-level intelligence can be achieved with hardware that's toaster-sized and consumes 100 watts, as demonstrated by our brains. Obviously there is some minimum requirements and limitations, but

I understand that the attitude towards overseas "military adventures" can reasonably be quite different, but coming from that region, I feel that it's morally good (not even acceptable/neutral) to volunteer and join the

In my opinion there's nothing wrong with being part of the military-industrial complex - as recent developments have shown, defence industry is a fundamental need for any modern society including democratic ones, and we're voting

Now that is a solved problem. The issues the grandparent post raises about rewriting the text to be shorter or longer are real, but changing to a totally different reference format is what Latex does automagically for you when you apply t

In many fields of science your ideas don't really matter, it's about reproducible data - sure, ideas and motivation matter for choosing the experiments and interpreting them, but any reader is effectively expected to read your ide

As the parent poster states, the key thing is that everything is structured about incentives conditional on delivering measurable results e.g. the quantity of published papers; but that implicitly includes a very important thing that "

Sure, abstracts are a good thing and we do want such compressed information about the article - however, recompressing a 'compressed' abstract from 300 words to 200 words or from 200 words to 300 words (which is usually mandator

I can see the theoretical advantages of such a concept, but I think a key limitation is that we don't have appropriate amounts of data with accurate phonetic representation. The potential advantage of using a phonetic representation

Sure, the concept has been explored; for example see the classic 2015 Karpathy's http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/ as a cool description of a character-level model. IIRC the ea

Thing is, when you consider the tasks you actually want to optimize the models for, quite a few things mentioned in this discussion - e.g. correctly learn how to capitalise, make all-caps, count syllables, act on specific counts of letters

I've often seen TV series translations (both as subtitles and as scripts for later dubbing) done by handing over the text to be translated - without any access to the show itself. So the translator has zero context what is on the scree

It's "the" use case because of the scale. There are all kinds of niche use cases that constitute $0 billion of turnover, and thus don't contest that fraud is the use case.
