Countable or uncountable? ;-)

Not really. One could argue some math is innate and we are just rediscovering it. See the disconnect between natural language and math which happened early 20th century because of material implication bringing vacuous truth, leading to &quo

How does GrapheneOS help with broadband chip firmware bypassing whatever it wants to prevent? All cellphones are rooted by default, just not by their owners.

When I think about it, rental e-scooters would be probably even better.

Moreover, there is no SLA on those FUSE adapters so putting it into any part of production is too risky.

I really hate these mathematical technicalities spawned from material implication, chosen way of making a definition and vacuous truth - why can't we even consider some questions to be marked as non-sense/non-relevant like in rele

Isn't it better to have a bunch of relay phones glued to random cars and making calls via them?

Vice used to be pretty innovative in the beginning, then something snapped and they ended up bland.

There was no hugely scalable approach before transformers, RNNs, the previous SOTA, were notoriously bad at scaling.

49 >> 9 but 49 << monthly ticket at any regional transportation company so one could assume most people will own it and trains will be packed again.

150 EUR vs 9 EUR and one still had to use slow regional trains once reaching Ulm so it was not that much different time-wise to justify much higher cost. Regional Express trains I used from Frankfurt to Ulm are also pretty fast (not ICE lev

While in Germany last summer, I used the 9 EUR ticket and regional trains to go from Frankfurt to Bavarian Alps. The trains were packed, one could not move there and it felt more like being in India than in Germany. I am wondering if that&#

I still can't forget how the immigration tried to disassemble my camera lens in Shanghai (not just remove them from the camera, but also tear them down), so visiting China might lead to some unexpected bad impressions. Also being barel

GPT basically showed that scalable brute-force trumps clever theoretical models which makes many academics salty.

Most doctors would laugh at vitamin supplementation even at pharmaceutic megadoses despite people reporting they feel much better. I have seen both GPs and a neurosurgeon laughing about it.

I read somewhere that gut can only let around 80mg thiamine/day and gut gets saturated over time, so only IM/IV would work long-term.

Is it because of thiamine dysfunction or because thiamine at 2000x RDA doses acts as a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, i.e. would acetazolamide work the same?

It's similar to swengs - before remote work one could be a king of their own place for a lot of money, now swengs need to compete for much cheaper with people from all around the world who might cheat in unimaginable ways to land a job

...which means your movement is completely predictable if your thrusters work within the specs.

by bitL 3y ago
That would be very near the surface and with 10x lower gravity one could afford some error.

Dumb laser distance measurement should solve that easily for you. You can literally use some very basic math with thruster output based on your downward distance/speed.

Frankly, why is it so hard? The article doesn't really show anything outside dust playing role in the very final stage but most landings failed higher above ground. These days we even have lasers to instantly detect distance to the gro

As a former 3rd party seller on Amazon, selling clothing online is a waste of time/money as return rates are enormous and people cheat all the time so no non-manufacturers can actually make any profit. That was in the US, I assume in I

I think the main problem was debugging tensors on the fly, impossible with TF/Keras, but completely natural to PyTorch. Most researchers needed to sequentially observe what is going on in tensors (histograms etc.) and even doing backpr

Can't you get them to sign a contract before the brain rape starts that they pay close to acquisition sum when features resembling yours based on similar decisions end up in their portfolio?

College education sometimes kills some major talents so one could also imagine that people who avoided higher education might keep some rare talents distinguishing their performance from the others. Tiny chance but it might happen.

Is it because of occasional skirmishes in Himalayas or something else?
