Sharing of read-only pages from the executable is done at the kernel (page cache) level. I agree that for example JIT compiled code is not shared.

Tabs are sharing the code though, because it comes from the same binary. Every electron app instead has its V8 and Blink in a separate binary that has to be loaded into its own RAM.

At 300W there's only so much power that can become heat. With 80 kW flowing through the wire, if the insulation melts due to excessive wire resistance you call the fire brigade.

Those electrical code cross sections are for 350A at 230V, corresponding to about 80 kW (400V is the same as it's actually three 230V wires). Processors operate at about 1V. At 300W it's enough to use a much smaller cross section,

Interesting, in Italian it's a bit formal but perfectly acceptable ("vi diamo il benvenuto..."). It's something you might hear at the beginning of a theatre play, or perhaps in the audio guide of a museum.

Apparently the biases in the output tend to be stronger than what is in the training set. Or so I read.

If a generator cannot produce a result that was in the training set due to overly biasing on the most common samples, then yes. If something was in 10% of the inputs and is produced in 1% of the outputs, there is a problem. I am pretty sure

You could also go back to the 1965 Olivetti Programma 101 ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programma_101 ). It had labels and memory cells, and could be programmed in a kind of assembly.

Right, in the wheels locked scenario the dynamic coefficient is the one that matters, it's smaller than the static coefficient and that leads to a longer braking distance. For a rolling wheel however, the stationary object is ideally j

It doesn't change much, but note that unless you've blocked your wheels (and you have no ABS), you need to check the static coefficients. Wheels work so that from the point of view of the wheel the asphalt is still (i.e. there is
