Spoiler alert: As with almost all headlines of this form, the answer to the question is "no". The author seems to be telling us that something they did is hard, but they did it anyway... Because.... Humble genius? I've found

No. ImGUI could not be the future of GUIs. GUIs are multi-process, multi-system, multi-clock, multi-network entities, or at least they have the potential to be. Immediate Mode GUIs are almost non-scalable by design. Imagine a multi-system

This feels like a joke. As a San Francisco parent, this almost certainly drives us towards private school, a luxury that not everyone has. I took algebra in sixth grade, and I'd learned the material in fourth from mother. Holding unt

I know plenty of losers that were hired by Google, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, etc. I don't actually know of one golden company that has never hired a dud. Not one.

I have a simple answer: I will never use Instacart or Doordash again, ever. Even if they change their policy, they are dead to me as companies, and any company that acquires them is similarly dead to me. If you're out there, upstart

I did read the paper (now). Their question is of “learnability”, which relates to aggregability/compressibility and dimensionality. This stuff is all in the same ballpark. Having read their paper, I do appreciate the formulation and ap

Read the paper. I have (now). They’re discussing “learnability” as related to VC dimensionality and compressibility. It’s absolutely related to aggregability.

One doesn't need to go back to Gödel for this to make it a "huh" moment. Instead, go back to 2006 to make it a "duh" moment. Aggregability is NP-Hard: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&

1) Lithium Hydride? That's battery chemistry right there. 2) Marketing buzz from being seen as a forward thinking research company instead of a place that engineers their way out of costly regulatory compliance. Given that this came f

I hear that. I'm working on multi-channel ADC hardware right now, and there is no way that we're going to use an FPGA (per unit cost). At my last gig, we used FPGA's for several low-volume products.

How huge is huge? The rest of the chain sounds pretty straightforward, even at 5MHz. That's not to say that an FPGA is wrong for the application, but nothing in that list screams "must use FPGA" to me. However, the whole pr

The aluminum tube claim was pretty obviously bogus. The tubes were narrow in diameter, variably finished (often rough inside), thin walled, and would result in laughably inefficient uranium hexaflouride centrifuges. It just didn’t make an

As an audio professional, I think you’ll find some interest, but it will be limited. Massive channel count can be useful in beam forming cases (e.g. Shure MXA910 array ceiling panel) or spatialization/impulse-representation cases (e.g.

You can do a mix of the two to reduce server traffic (especially for abandoned sessions) and user latency. Give the client a client ID that you generate that should be properly random... Have them submit that ID along with their self-gener

Rereading my original comment, what I meant was "it's impressive that they can get away with not retesting and recertifying when making material changes to safety-related elements of the vehicles."

It's impressive to me that they can make running changes (like reducing the number of spot welds in the Model 3) without having to retest/recertify.

Fuji did this with “Super CCD” sensors in the early 2000s. They used micro lenses, which had some overall sensitivity and angled aliasing challenges, but the results were impressive for the time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w

Is it not practical to just saddle the dataset and compute request with a canary payload that is easily computable by the requestor? If one can spoof the canary payload effectively, one would have broken the FHE scheme, probabilistically, r
