...What? You're saying it's not zero sum because to make it zero sum you should include the big profitable corporations that are pumping in money? True it's not zero sum but that's like saying a casino isn't zero

Not sure that's Occam's razor any more. Regardless lazy loading needs widespread use to be most effective so having a unified syntax and no extra dependencies makes a lot of sense.

Official is a weird concept though. Turns out Dutch law never really bothered to define an official language, Dutch simply is the de facto standard and is required for a lot of things making it effectively the standard. This makes Dutch Sig

I don't even begrudge them the money but I'm not giving them reasonable cause to bombard me with emails again.

I'm also inclined to believe the reason for the decision was intelligence and not politics, because if it was political the parties responsible likely wouldn't shut up about until the next election. As of now there's been eff

Can't wait for the time when everyone is running an LLM on their phone so you can ask them to write their own rebuttals as well.

I'm not seeing De Morgan. I am seeing inclusion exclusion, which is just a neat trick all round. Highly recommend remembering it. I imagine negative filters to be a bit inefficient as well, though maybe not for a simple count.

That's the difference between illegal an unreachable. To reach that position you'd need to start from a different point (start both sides with 16 pawns or w/e), but you wouldn't need to break any other chess rules.

The accepted solution is to have a constitution that says otherwise. Which is a bit complicated here, as the EU has no real constitution and this 'law' (really a regulation) is a blatant violation of the constitutions of countries

Of course, but fraud/theft prevention is easier to defend legally. There are exceptions for exactly those use cases.

Took me a while to figure it out but is the last graph supposed to display both addition and multiplication as '. * .'? It makes it a bit hard to read which expressions are equivalent. And for visualisation purposes commutativity

Technically the article is saying the graphs are dense. Which might make sense, but using sparse matrices to represent sparse graphs is not unusual.

This looks interesting. Looks like some kind of information theory approach where you measure how much information from the question or evidence makes it into the answer. Sadly it's very hard to figure out what this is doing exactly an

They could, that very qr code is on there and contains the product number and serial number inside a URL query that links to qr.electrolux.com. The page loads but doesn't offer to register the product, which is probably for the best.

I feel like if you're worried about picking the right abstraction then this is almost certainly the wrong one.

More to the point, why would anyone outside of Mississippi need to comply? What legal grounds do they have to dictate what other people do outside of their state?

No you see chatgpt is doing the thinking for us now, instead of using your own brain to struggle with a puzzle that is trivial to solve for a simple algorithm you can let a language model struggle with it for you! You get all of the enjoyme

I'm a bit curious why some times like 190ms don't get even slightly highlighted as an outlier when regular traffic is clearly 125+/-5ms

Proof of useful work feels like it's one and a half steps removed from discovering seigniorage and reinventing money.

Sure, but letting the UK government block wikipedia makes things _much_ clearer for everyone.

You could go a step further by putting the suffixes themselves into the trie and then identifying identical subtrees. If you can use gzip there's bound to be a clever way of using a suffix array as well, that might end up being better

I'm not 100% sure if it's just load balancing. It would depend on the details of the setup but that situation also allows you to throw more resources at each request. I mean obviously there is a point where splitting up the instan

Technically it doesn't, it's just really hard to implement leastconn correctly. If you had perfect information and could just pick whichever was provably lowest that'd would probably work. However keeping that information up

To the right people a university education can be an asset rather than a barrier to entry.

Not being subject to the UK and US surveillance laws seems as good an argument as any. Though I'm not sure if the GDPR allows for data to be stationed in Switzerland. It's not EU but it is party to a lot of treaties so it's n

If reading your code requires navigating complexity that human cognition wasn't designed for then something has gone terribly wrong.

Might be a bit late now to start telling people that maybe using software for everything wasn't a good idea.

How am I against it? I'm just pointing out that 75% of the turbines needing major disruptive maintenance within 6 years is not evidence that a 0% failure rate is possible. I'm hoping for a good renewable energy source as well but

That's like saying if I roll 4 dice and one of them lands on a six then it should be possible to make one that only rolls sixes.

Yeah I'd definitely explain that one as "I study ways to make wifi faster", doesn't cover all the nuance, but it's definitely better than the alternative. Convex shapes, well, annoyingly it's too broad. It has
