I dunno, define "few"? It's easily 20 minutes+ each way to get to a non-tech company building (maybe more if you're embedded in say Crittenden).

Neat bit of history! I'd have enjoyed seeing one of these for whatever group dmr et al. was in (doesn't seem to be in this one of the "Design Engineering Center 375"). The title got my hopes up that it was all of Bell La

Yep! I'm not saying I totally agree with the original comment there, just confirming that they meant it. If you own your clients, sometimes you can say "it's on you to retry" (deadlines and retries are effectively mandat

Their comment implies "are totally fine with stale data". Their argument is that the membership set for a service (especially on-prem) doesn't change all that frequently, and even if it's out of date, it's likely

Yes, probably but it'd be nice to know. Even the start of the rendering though seems to have some gas being ejected that I was curious about ("Is that the start of the process at 1 year out?"). I dunno, maybe an improved ca

It's too bad the rendering didn't include timestamps. For example, is that a year of data in 25s of rendering, or the last few months?

Some of this echoes Matt Levine's take on crypto and DeFi generally: you will repeatedly see the re-learning the lessons of hundreds/thousands of years of traditional finance. I'm not sure that the "mobile device can&#x2

I ran into John Madden a few years ago at A.G. Ferrari in Soma (he had a residence nearby at the St Regis). He cut in line in front of me, to get his seemingly daily sandwich. The lady behind the counter and I let it slide. I'm glad I

Disclosure: I used to work for Google and still work for Alphabet. That response is a little confusing: the management app is Internet only, but it doesn't drop all its routing tables or something just because the uplink is gone. Mor

Not that I disagree with using a traditional publisher and editor, but how would you feel about open-source / peer review of a manuscript?

Hi Nadav! Seems like a lot of the benefit also comes from "Intel processors since < X > no longer care about aligned vs unaligned loads and stores" (so older code that spends effort lining this up doesn't benefit in the

Xi is used non-stop in the probability / Monte Carlo community! I wonder if this is a sampling bias of arxiv versus AMS (pun intended).

You'd recommend Vulkan Compute over "CUDA" though for a path tracer? (I don't assume Cycles has any hybrid rendering in it, so there isn't much value in the traditional pipeline)

Yes, good point. I should have probably included that section too (or at least said "risk of occurrence"). It's also highly treatable, medical practitioners know to look out for it and so on.

That would be clear. Except "1%" isn't some "small number". The actual rate of myocardial problems, in young men due to covid vaccination is nearly 100x less than that at .014%. [1] https://www.cidrap.u
