That's part of the exemption process: you still need to prove that you aren't likely to have covid.

Your friend would qualify for an exemption. Rare groups that are "not able" (or not recommended) to take the vaccine can file paperwork for an exemption. That's been the requirement for the law / guidance since the begin

(Too late for edit) Looks like Eigen also defaults to EIGEN_FAST_MATH which makes Eigen's psqrt ("packet sqrt") use _mm256_rsqrt_ps instead of _mm256_sqrt_ps [1]. Interestingly, the thing they're trying to avoid (long

Yikes. A lot of code uses _mm_rsqrt_ps (sometimes) followed by a Newton-raphson update to compute a "precise" 1/sqrt(x). Here's a good example of NEON's rsqrt being sufficiently different from Intel, that more itera

I actually unflag after corrections. I think one-off flagging doesn't end up triggering any badness for the poster (and the rules for comments vs posts are different). Only once enough people flag something does anything happen.

To be clear, I find the automatic edits to usually be useful. I left my comment to explain why I flagged the article (assuming 'dang looks at flagged posts and then has to wonder "Why is this flagged?").

The entirely bit from the title was unfortunately auto-removed, but that's the key to the article's removal of libc.

Whoa, thanks! My data was based on the initial announcement. Judging by this article [1], the bidirectional charging is maybe part of the $1000 "Pro Power" add on. Either way, sounds like we can get a 100-ish kWh battery backup fo

The data seems to be mixing a small portion of the Golmud Solar Park land mass with its latest power generation (2.2 GW). This article [1] says: "With a capacity of 2.2 GW ac (3.1 GWp), the new plant in Qinghai’s Gonghe County is the w

One amusing point is that much of Gelman's post has an error itself (that someone pointed out in the comments a couple weeks ago): the NPR interview was in 2017, so "Ariely, as a coauthor of this article, had to have known for at

The optimization problem at the inner loop of these methods doesn't handle latency very well. This is covered a bit in the DOTA 2 rerun work [1] (e.g., Figure 5b on staleness). So for both large models (which are split up amongst multi

I'm not sure about the 400 A comment either, but there's at least two "catches" to the F-150: it's ~$90k for that configuration and it's unclear how the charge/discharge duty cycle will affect it. To be cl

The distinction seems to be that there are two flavors of timeshare: shared deeded ownership and shared lease ownership interest [1]. The second one (leasing) is just the "right to time" and a separate company owns the property. P
