I read that section as comparing what they logged before vs what the player experiences: the time taken for an input to be registered and it's effect communicated to the user. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think the intention

I see them as fulfilling different needs. An e-bike lets you go further, faster, travel more safely on mixed surfaces, and carry more cargo. An e-scooter is smaller and more portable, making it easier to store in apartments, at work, or int

If I remember correctly the fully connected layers after the attention block are [?, a*h] * [a*h, b*h] (for some scalars a,b and hidden size h), which means that transformers also scale with h^2. I don't know what fraction of the total

From someone with no knowledge of reverse sear: Why does that seem like a mistake? 130F is how you get medium rare with a sous-vide setup. If you're talking long and slow using an oven, it seems reasonable to me that you'd aim for

You're correct, they are advocating that stroads be removed. The difference is that in your comparison to computers you assume that roads, like computers, have a quasi-linear trade-off between performance and power (ie: alpha x perform

From the article: "[...] the BBC has not been able to confirm the claims, [...]" I don't see a problem with the word "alleges" in this context, regardless of the pedigree of the publication.

I see. My understanding was that part of the purpose of the deal to switch to Intel foundry was to set up for acquisition, so I think you're probably right there, but I'm not sure what the other strategic reasons were, if any. Tha

The better example of an abandoned route through the Cascades is the old railway route through Snoqualmie pass, which connects the metro Seattle area to the east side of the mountains. It's now a state park, and you can hike or bike fr

Anecdotally, it's 3/3 for me, one of which was Kids by MGMT. I'm seeing some fairly divergent results here, I wonder if it's highly sensitive to the particular user's voice.

There's a lot of this that I like, but wouldn't the auction just create a single market rate for H1-B employees that's independent of the market rate for the position they're filling? The clause where the employer has to

I had the chance to use one at a hackathon, and can confirm the device barely worked. It had huge difficulties differentiating between different input gestures, and the employee who demo'd it admitted as much.

I don't think the stock options would be public, since it's discretionary at most companies, and varies from person to person. Anecdotal as it is, from my experience at Microsoft the stock sign-on and annual bonus don't corre

Do you have a source for that "the pay is always lower" comment? As far as I know, visa status doesn't affect compensation for employees in the same full-time role at FAANG + Microsoft, though I only have direct experience wi

Some people use it for everything, but I think it really shines in writing documents with heavy mathematical content due to the straightforward math syntax. There was a paper posted here a couple months ago that claimed that even expert LaT

You probably only ever hear of the success stories. I can think of Terry Tao, John von Neumann, and Erik Demaine off the top of my head, not because they were prodigies, but because they have gained enough name recognition that I Google&#x2

My high school education (Canada) worked like that. Calculus was taught in grade 12, so there wasn't any time to specialize more than that in the curriculum. My experience (granted, not in math, but in an abnormally math-intensive engi

The author also published a short summary of the findings in a link on his twitter as well, which includes a GitHub link to some of the code used for the analysis and figure generation (no data though). It's worth a read.

This, and the fact that they're a technical school by nature. Politics and business garners more news cycles than hard science, and hence skews peoples perception of the prestige of a university or success of their alumni. Look at the

The phenomenon you're describing gives rise to the last mile transport problem, which is notoriously hard to solve. You either want something which is compact enough to fit on existing transit systems or exists in a sufficient quantity

Perhaps the raw number of jobs isn't the best denominator then, since many of the jobs in tech likely pay more to acknowledge this fact. A better measure would be something like the total of wages payed, or total of wages payed for the
