It's not that common for tools that have been around for decades, and don't have system dependencies (like your network configuration examples do) to change. egrep and fgrep are used on ad hoc command lines daily, and option alter

Or the counteroffer is to retain the person until the completion of an immediate project. It could be that the short-term loss of an individual exceeds the extra cost of a raise, but the long-term cost exceeds the benefits. More likely, it&

Thing is, companies aren't just a web of contracted individuals. Companies gain efficiencies from reduced transaction costs; this is the basic theory of the firm, the reason we have firms at all. One of the big ways transaction costs a

It is absolutely a counter offer and they also don't want to give their employees the idea that they sometimes do counter offers. Counter offers are discretionary and usually you only get one chance at it - it burns a chunk of trust if

Here in Switzerland, you are likely to pay through the nose for a mediocre product / service. Caveat emptor, particularly since consumer laws are weak.

If it takes 8 years to move 10%, does that mean it takes 16 years to move 20%? Would it take 80 years to move 100%? Doesn't really make sense, does it, given that it didn't take 80 years to ramp up originally. Apple couldn't

The AI would need to lead the target under any reasonable implementation. Just clicking the mouse when crosshairs are over a target would scarcely deserve the name AI.

7ms isn't going to be the bar. Human reaction times are in the 150+ms range, you have 20x your budget. I agree it's still tough though, most I/O paths on generic hardware will have buffers at every step that you'll have

I would worry a little about going above 90% space usage. ZFS slows down fairly dramatically when it starts running out of contiguous space and there is no defragmentation tool. On the other hand it's not that hard to export and re-imp

Care to give us some insights, rather than a list of transactions? Why did you buy again? Why did you buy the older set when you had a newer set, and why did the same reason not apply after Wikipedia matured? How would you contrast the old

I've only ever found those to be simple physical switches. I use a spare credit-card sized object from my wallet, e.g. a loyalty card or an enomatic charge card (I have a half dozen of these), but even a stiff business card will do if

For now, we use prompts to explore latent space. I don't know that we'll always use prompts. They're better than trying to carefully twiddle hundreds of dimensions manually, but I can't help but think there's a bett

In the 80s, your VCR would frequently be plugged in, and it would keep pumping out a placeholder blue screen at a minimum, particularly if connected via antenna passthrough. However startup time would be minimal - a couple of seconds - comp

I think your ontology encompasses too much to be useful in classifying games. All single player games without a random element can be modeled as graph search problems with varying degrees of cycles permitted.

A nice meal is an experience, and the significance of experiences is amplified by sharing - instead of a taste and texture you had once, almost impossible to describe, it becomes a touchstone of a relationship which can be referred back to

I think of artistic endeavour as a bit like the inverse of txt2img, but running in your head, and just projecting to the internal latent space, not all the way to words. It's not just aesthetic, it's about triggering feelings thro

24h x 30 days x .5kW x 0.25 CHF/kWh gives me 90 CHF a month to run my PC, assuming it never sleeps. Have you run the calculation? It's worthwhile configuring suspend for PCs these days. My 3090 never seems to go below 120W, for on

Mashups is the wrong way to think about it. It's generalizing at a higher level than texture / image sampling and it can tween things in latent space to get to visual spaces that haven't been explored by human artists before.

I was looking at GPU graphs and neglected my physical RAM. This machine only has 32G and I didn't notice I was hitting a ceiling on memory allocations too - I took the error message about GPU memory allocations at face value. I bumped

That's almost exactly my off the cuff suggestion. Of course my brain is seeded by both bitcoin (finding a hash as proof of work) and HLL (which counts leading hash digits to estimate set cardinality).

Oh I know. The point is something hard that the sender needs to do. Ideally it wouldn't waste lots of power, but it must consume some scarce resource, or else it wouldn't cost anything, and the cost should be borne by the sender,

Something different: a hash which is expensive to calculate but cheap to verify. E.g. calculating a string of bytes to append to a hash stream on order to produce a hash with a certain number of leading zeros; you provide the hash and the b

Where the 1080 would do about 2 it/sec, the 3090 does about 10 it/sec. When I do batches, it slows down but not linearly; if 1x does 10 it/sec, 2x does about 6 it/sec. Batching is the other upside of more VRAM.

It's more tedious in C derivatives, where loops and switches share the break keyword. Where that isn't the case, it's much harder to justify multi-level break. Refactor to a function and return instead.
