Disclosure: I used to work on Google Cloud. This is why BigQuery offers both models and lets you control the caps [1]. Buying fixed compute is effectively buying a throughput cap. Hard Quotas provide a similar function, but aren't a us

The linked [1] blog post is more structured and easier to follow for context. After that, I think you could parse much of geohot's stream of consciousness post. [1] https://blog.comma.ai/end-to-end-lateral-planning&#x2F

Some (a lot?) of those got cleaned up in the 2008 revision [1]. And for many practical purposes, once x87 went away as part of x86-64, we now have a world of much more sensible agreement. We're likely coming back into a period of diver

Getting edge equations done right / consistently is certainly important. That's not actually a floating point vs fixed point argument though. There's always going to be rounding and clamping. With fixed point code or fixed-

Hmm. Did you end up studying differential equations? I feel like the most clear statement from that article is "it's the base of exponential growth", but that (for a math inclined audience) the best way to show that is via eq

The $300-600/week/person benefit counts as part of that sum (plus the one off checks). So you could have Federal taxes of say $2000 and then benefits of $10000, resulting in a net transfer (sum of "zero" is probably not

Fwiw, the survey design missed an important aspect of "don't care about location": most people are probably assuming a lot of time zone overlap. So they might say "don't care about location" (true in some sense

That's not what your link says. The final rows are "don't pay either" (20% of tax units). The one you quoted is from the 2020 data for "Zero or Negative Sum of Income and Payroll Taxes". Your total tax liabilit

Hmm, is that just because of the template resolution? (and so wouldn't apply to constexpr in C) AFAICT, something about the template declarations is making the call of f(x) to be "who could know" (which should just be fail )

IANAL, but there are two "problems" with this claim. One is that "just create a bunch of shares and only give them to the founder" is true, but has tax consequences. (In your example, you just gave ~90% of the company to
