There was a bit of a song and dance when Whatsapp adopted the Signal protocol. Certainly if you choose not to back up your Whatsapp messages, your old messages aren't available when you switch phones. If they're not end-to-end enc

This particular instruction - XSAVES - isn't the sort of simple building block that most user code is full of like ADD or MOV. It does quite a bit of work (saving a chunk of the CPU state) and is implemented more like calling a subrou

In this case it seems like the "modified optimization" is where the bug lies.

It's erratum #1386 (see https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/56323-PUB_1.00.pdf ): The XSAVES instruction may fail to save XMM registers to the provided state save area if all of the following are

glibc goes to great lengths to ensure binary backwards-compatibility. If a binary interface has to change it uses symbol versioning to keep around the old interface - for example if you have a program compiled against glibc2.2 on x86-64 th

Further to this, as I understand it the "embedding" is mapping the tokens into vectors in a space where tokens semantically similar will be close together in the space.

And of course it is not unheard of for a native English speaker to correct themselves if they change their mind about which noun to use. You can imagine being asked to very rapidly verbally classify fruits ("it's an apple, it&#x2

The word is "historic" either way, the commenter was using " 'istoric " as a way of indicating a particular pronunciation. There's a few words in English that begin with the letter h but not with the consonant

I think that's essentially right - if it's already "thinking about" apples, then ' an' will be significantly upregulated at the expense of ' a', then if it does choose to output an ' an' t

It'd probably be just as effective to require that every version of the car software that is made available to the fleet must also be provided to the NHTSA. There's no sweeping shoddy versions under the carpet then.

It's funny because if 2 months ago you'd been given the brief for a comedy bit "ChatGPT, but make it Microsoft" you'd have been very satisfied with something like this.

Even 20 years ago most of that plotting work had been taken over by large-format inkjets - I used to be involved with a few print shops around that time.

It's at least plausible that running them faster means servicing is more expensive (assuming these were supplied under service contracts / leases which seems to be the usual case for office copiers).

The fission primary of all the bombs in the US arsenal is mostly Pu-239, which has a half-life of 24,000 years, and a small but substantial fraction of Pu-240, which has a half-life of 6,500 years. They're both alpha-emitters, but Pu-

I believe by the time the processor has halted, the IP has advanced, so when the interrupt returns it will resume executing after the HLT. An infinite loop would resume executing the loop.

The novelty claimed is directing excess remaining heat in the refrigerant on the normal heating cycle, after it has passed through the heating coils in the house, to the buffer tank. Not the idea of the buffer tank itself.

It's perhaps a minor point, but I don't believe Wolfram Alpha has the distances between each pair of cities in its store of facts: it has the locations of each city, and it knows how to calculate the distance between two locations
