I think these memecoins are basically just gambling. People hop onto short lived hype trains in the hope of cashing out before they collapse.

Yeah, it's still the same point of "if only they know what I know". And no need to shout, so have I.

Speaking from my own experience I'm not so sure that printf debuggers just have "incomplete knowledge [...] of modern debugging tools". I use printf (or the file-based equivalent, log files) quite a lot, but nobody can accuse

I remember seeing a guy selling his book about practical software engineering and project management at a trade show some 25 years ago. One of his claims was that he had a statistic that showed that a closeable door and muteable telephone r

Right, it gets even worse: Air pressure in not only altitude-dependent but fluctuates even at constant altitude. The pressure (altitude) dependence is comparatively weak, though.

The trick is to make sure the recursive dependency stays linear, that's how you enable parallel training.

Chechnya (or the Chechen Republic) is a republic of Russia (or the Russian Federation) so it seems to me the title is imprecise, but not wrong.

No it is exactly the point, not the counterpoint! State actors and probably big corps and rich people will have access to any kind of AI they wish, regardless! The question is only, what will the common people be able to lay their hands

Nah, while cycles/instruction where indeed fixed in those days (and for some time yet to come), it was not necessarily 1 cycle but rather depended on the instruction.

I think the lesson is, if you should ever find yourself in the role of a BD and plan to give up control in favour of a committee or suchlike, always retain the option to throw them out and re-assume control, in case of need.

Well, that's a mutual misunderstanding then. I meant quite literally neither assertions nor unit tests prevent you from breaking things. Of course they'll help you to catch those mistakes before release. I didn't think th

That's a very relevant thing you bring up: The way we design our society changes not only the outomes for roles of certain fixed probabilities - it changes the probabilities as well. If you lock up the rapists and murderers, there'

Maybe fuel might play a role. The Raptor burns methane, the F-1 refined petroleum. Another possible reason is that the designs may make different efficiency vs power trade-offs.

No, "usable" product cannot be quite the correct expression. The macros per 100g of dry pasta are for the dry, not the cooked product. I'd venture to guess that few people eat their pasta dry.

It's maybe not what most people would recommend, but I'd suggest you read up on regret minimization and best arm indentification for multi-armed bandit problems. That way it'll probably be useful and fun! =)

It works if it is given the right way, even if unsolcited, I think: Help the advisee to make the crucial deductions themselves. If you don't have the time for that, just leave them be, or you'll probably do more harm than good.
