I also implemented essentially this algorithm. For guesses I always consider the full list of possible words, not just the list of possible answers. Doing so requires a check so words that have been excluded are only used if they're be

Mathematica is available as a non-recurring license, though you'll have to pay for upgrades if you want to upgrade in that case.

Mathematica also has the more specialized packed and numeric array types.

I'd wonder if the Mathematica code was using fast constructs to begin with. It's best to think of Mathematica as being similar to Python + Numpy. If you want your code to be fast, you want to spend as much time in the kernel (Nump

But then companies that make their money by upselling to SaaS really don't like it when Amazon comes along, takes the software, and undercuts them in the cloud. The company then scrambles to change their license to disallow that. Wolfr

Removing it doesn't change the results for me. I have a 5950X also; what are you getting for the benchmark result? I'm getting around 4.06.

The "Wolfram Language" name is essentially just a rebranding of Mathematica to highlight the fact that it does way more than just math now.

On AMD with the MKL_DEBUG_CPU_TYPE hack still in place, it's about the same as 12.3 for me.

The Pi is built on a foundation of binary blobs. As I read it, https://www.raspberrypi.org/about/ is a lot more focused on free-as-beer than free-as-speech.

But how easy is it for that to evolve?

If only they had a cash cow, like how Microsoft has Windows and Office, so development of the language could be subsidized.

I've heard they're working on creating an uncurated paclet repository, and the new paclet tools would appear to be the first step of that. Once that is complete we should finally have something similar npm.

If Python is a "batteries included" language, then Wolfram Language might be a "nuclear reactor included" language. Its functionality covers a broad range of domains, and keeps growing. The principle behind much of it is

You don't need to store the entire blockchain to know that from scratch. Download yes, but not store.

With Bitcoin, the miners can be expected to pay for large ASIC mining rigs, but can't be expected to pay for a couple of TB (for 10x increase) of extra storage every year?

I still use it daily due to one killer feature it has: the Nullsoft Signal Processing Studio DSP plugin that it comes with. I have my own preset in there that I use on all of my music. The preset combines: 1. Playback rate control, affectin

The former lets you use media queries to make it responsive, and can help impose a design system versus having a bunch of random sizes and colors.

I've longed considered doing a diet based on mass rather than calories, as mass in vs mass out is a tautology. Maybe I should actually try it soon. It would be pretty simple: 1. Come up with a post-meal target weight goal, like say 5 p

by carry_bit 5y ago
You can just weigh yourself periodically, weigh what you consume, and then compute how much mass has left your body. As a diet, you could plan out what you want to weigh over time, and then before each meal calculate how far below that goal

by carry_bit 5y ago
"mass in, mass out" is another truism, yet not many people plan their diets around that.

It could be a case of implicit vs explicit knowledge. In the context of evolved culture beliefs, the foophobia may serve some real purpose, even if most/all of the enculturated individuals can't explicitly state what the real purp

It's not carbon emissions that are directly the problem, but rather the emission of fossil carbon into the biosphere. Hydrocarbon fuels and the like can be produced from carbon already in the biosphere.

It probably just is DNSLink, only instead of you going out and buying your own domain name and setting the record, they create a subdomain and set the record for you.

In general if you the highest throughput you'll also get long pause times, since the techniques to reduce the max pause times depends on inserting barriers into the application code. Ignoring pause times is fine for batch processing, b

If misinformation is a drug by that definition, then truth would be a drug too. A potentially even more potent one at that. We've already seen some drugs be restricted for political reasons. Do we wish risking that with truth also?

The main advantage of a hardware synth is the user experience. Its controls are tailored specifically for that synth. If it has a built-in keyboard, it also has the benefit of being a self-contained unit, and can feel (psychologically) more

What does this mean for the future of CPU design? VLIW and other advanced designs never went mainstream in part because the AOT on install/JIT everything future never arrived. But with the success of Rosetta 2, has that future finally
