That's a very old idea that never really worked. There are two main objections against that concept: * Any tree structure would be highly language-specific. Your VCS wouldn't support experimental or new or propietary languages. Ev

This demonstrates how any algorithm, software or not, works: Start with something desirable or necessary and add complications until you end up with a mess that can be used to yield arbitrary results, drive outsiders into madness, and sum

Huh? Who's been playing with fire? Fedora ships 15k packages. They don't develop them. They're trying to modernize hundreds of packages on a volunteer basis.

Germany today (massively rainy and windy day) had a peak of over 50GW. Surprisingly we still had 2GW solar peak even today with the worst possible weather and over 9GW just two days ago.

Certainly a cool achievement and something to be proud of. Maybe even a very important step towards real usable fusion power plants. But: > The facility’s laser system is enormously inefficient, and more than 99% of the energy that goes

Interestingly, you don't give a source for Germany, which according to this source has much lower emissions per kWh these last days: https://www.agora-energiewende.de/daten-tools/agorameter/cha... And even th

Looks like a very interesting paper for everyone trying to test any kind of tool that works on a (functional) language. Love the Acknowledgement section.

Maybe I am missing something, but when you project every content into a fixed-size space, you have to lose information at some point, don't you? Did somebody ever run an image of a scene vs some parts of the scene in e.g., CLIP?

I sometimes use the term for children in a joking manner. If you're a large male, especially if you sport a beard, you will probably experience that smaller children react to you with shyness or fear quite often. I have seen children c

I assume these are mostly procedures, not functions, (that is, they have side effects) as applying a function 1.3M times per minute immediately raises the question of caching which doesn't seem to be important for them. But if you exec

The initial landing would have been successful, assuming German air superiority and an actual will to execute it, of course. There's simply not enough time for the Royal Navy to interrupt the landing unless they're already assembl

Please, please, please, make sure that it uses a context-free grammar. For the live of Knuth, correct that one stupid mistake he made and allow other people to parse your syntax. Good things will follow!

Resistance against antibiotics cannot come free for bacteria. If we stop using some, the resistance should vanish as quickly as it turned up, shouldn't it?

I've yet to see a convincing new business model for LLMs. They are impressive, don't get me wrong, but right now they only seem to augment many already existing businesses or workflows in one way or another. Unless that change

At least in theory, HDCP keys can be revoced. Manufacturing non-compliant devices could become extremely risky.
167.
by choeger 3y ago
That's not true, AFAIK. The DRM module (e.g., widevine) has to negotiate keys with the host and will decrypt the stream for decoding. The HDCP keys are static and independent from the streaming service. That decryption can happen wit

by choeger 3y ago
Realistically, no. You don't have access to the device that contains the decrypted content. Of course, you could try to open up or bypass the DRM module (e.g., via the GPU driver during hardware accelerated decoding), but that won&#x27

There's a huge fraudulent scene when it comes to scientific papers, IMO largely driven by the "schoolification" of universities. Many authors seem to consider writing and publishing a research paper as just another form of an

First of all: I always have and always will be a proponent of statically strongly typed languages (although I would argue that "statically strongly" is redundant here, there are only typed and untyped languages, IMO). But there&#x

Could that be a consequence of TikTok's raise in popularity? AFAIK, it's much harder to share a link there compared to FB/X.

Did anyone ever attempt a recursive architecture? So you take the first window or logical separatation (chapter, paragraph) and let the model summarize it into one or two sentences. Then you repeat that with the next window (and that derive

"exceed the mass of tailpipe emissions" - that implies all tailpipe emissions.

by choeger 3y ago
They compare "particulate emissions" to "tailpipe emissions". That's at the least very sloppy writing, at the worst it's intentionally misleading.

> Indeed, the scale of these emissions is significant. Particulate emissions from tires and brakes, particularly in the PM2.5 and PM10 size ranges, are believed to exceed the mass of tailpipe emissions from modern vehicle fleets, as per
