I basically said 'why pay if it's free?', Not 'why not pay?'. It's free to read as you have stated, yet you want to own it, yet you don't want to pay any significant amount for it. I suspect that if they c

My point was that in my opinion I did not believe the correction had value. I was categorising it as a pointless ornament rather than something actually useful. But I emphasise, that's just my view.

An odd thing, for a native English speaker to be given advice on the language by someone who is learning it, no? In English there is both essential plumbing and pointless ornament, and I wish for that distinction to be recognised because co

I'm a native English speaker. I don't personally like corrections like this, and I would never criticise anyone for using the 'wrong' term. There is too much convention in English which isn't useful because it bleed

Thanks, you clearly know your subject. I must say that without doubting your figures, I am astonished at how little heat can be lost radiatively. Given the 4th powers I assumed it must be vastly higher, but clearly not, much against my intu

How does one produce 'lossless' from 'probable' or 'likelihood'?
256.
by _a_a_a_ 3y ago
Of course you're not convecting but if you are radiating from a hot body into an ambient two Kelvin then you are going to lose heat really, really fast. IIRC heat loss by black body radiation into its surroundings is proportional to th

by _a_a_a_ 3y ago
Uh? GPT is an neural net, right?Which is a bunch of weights, surely, so how can you get lossless compression from that? (Complete newbie here BTW)

We differ in our definitions of that word :)

at ~2 kelvin I'd have thought you can radiate away a truckload of heat surely

But the parent was talking about lossless, GPT presumably is anything but.

I received 2 extremely bad books, same press, illegible. Maybe print-on-demand, not sure. Complained, got a refund. Was told not to bother returning the books.

I guess it's like this – implement interfaces, and common code comes with it when you inherit (then override to modify behaviour). A common interface really should have common code so this is appropriate. What is wrong is to inherit fr

I strongly agree, and the fact that the poster made no suggestions suggested he had none to make, it just being a nebulous wish for 'better things' . Nothing terrible about that but hardly actionable. Then again, if I was wrong I
