For what it's worth, my understanding is that fentanyl is pretty bad as a recreational drug, which is why it started as a scam for people looking for heroin. It's too strong as an anesthetic and the effect lasts very little.

Both things can be true at the same time. The article mention switching to shorter reports and oral discussion but other courses may not have the luxury, especially the introductory ones.

Forest-related is "forestale" in Italian.

Interestingly, here in Italy a substantial part of grades in Italian classes is exactly in-class written essays.

You probably also want to run udev, and logind comes close. Everything other than these four is absolutely optional.

Decimeter is used occasionally for densities, because 1 g/cm^3 is the same as 1 kg/dm^3 but the latter is a little easier to imagine. The cube decimeter is also used under the name of... liter. Likewise, there is also deca- and he

Sorry, by two approaches I meant the two parsers generated by the LLM, recursive descent and graph based; not the ANTLR one. Sort of unexpected that you're keeping the old one as an oracle—but a very good idea for anyone that writes su

It can't be written down as code, that's the point. I am more familiar with taste in coding and it can at best be described—that the resulting code is too subtly different from something else in the codebase, that you're mask

I think you should clarify that (or whether) while you didn't look at the generated code, you are actually going to adjust it in the future. How did the two approaches compare in terms of code readability?

by bonzini 4mo ago
Note that it's not a particularly optimized algorithm: recursive descent + specialized subparser for expressions is simply the standard way to write parsers by hand. It's ANTLR which is super flexible but also dog slow.

With 6-7 general purpose registers you could have; since anyway only three of them were usable for addressing you constantly had to load from memory. just use MOV ES instead of MOV BX to load a pointer and you actually got to increase your

That wouldn't have worked, the point was to pack data in memory. Even on 64kb computers, MS-DOS 1.x loaded .COM files at the bottom of available memory and allowed using the "familiar" CALL 5 interface even if the program was

Shane Legg was in Schmidhuber's lab at IDSIA before being one of the founders of DeepMind, so he probably read the papers personally and knows what influenced him or not...

Yes, it's AES with a tweak based on the physical address. It adds some protection from RowHammer and the like because flipping a bit in encrypted memory is catastrophic, while it can be done in a controlled manner if it's not encr

It reuses AMX registers, so I think the only new state is the block scale register (1024 bits)?

No, they're implementing all functions, all matching etc. in Rust.

My issue is that Mathematica is essentially a term rewriting system. Reimplementing everything in Rust seems to go against the idea. The derivative computation is 400 lines of Rust and could be 20 lines of Mathematica code.

Italy has a long term residence card that is valid for 10 years, and renewable indefinitely, but the conditions for renew are absolutely not comparable to a green card for example. Just go out of the EU for a year and it's no more. ht

My understanding is that giving permanent residence means not naturalizing, and therefore this is a step towards compliance.

A more charitable case is that the source cannot be disclosed because it's an undercover agent or informant. What the parent describes is indeed evidence laundering.

What matters is the outcomes. If nobody is able to use a world-class healthcare system (for whatever reason, could be affordability as in the US or availability as in the UK), then as a whole it's as good as no healthcare.

Preventative interventions can; preventing obesity falls under the purview of healthcare departments like the NHS. But neither private insurance nor hospitals have any incentive to operate preventatively because insurance can just increase
