I think this is incorrect. Don't centuries start with the 00? In that case the first year of a century is 0, and the 76th year would be 75, not 76 as the author writes: > starting in 1776, not in the 76th year of the 18th century.

I'm not disputing that they used OCR. What's wrong is that searching text in PDFs doesn't usually involve OCR.

My expectation would be that you have to enter insert mode first before you can type, no?

Rust 1.67.0, which is likely what OP was looking at, gives: https://godbolt.org/z/4Y61d9seh I ran the benchmarks locally on the same hardware, using latest nightly Rust 1.81 (aggressive loop unrolling): no difference.

Don't miss the 2023! The article really is already a little outdated: since Rust 1.78, the compiler uses some more aggressive loop unrolling (and a little bit of SIMD): https://godbolt.org/z/zhbobW7rr OP wrote: &q

Just checking who's connecting at the moment (via sniffnet, cool tool!), I see 2 Iranian IPs, 1 Chinese and 1 Russian. Each sent a few hundred kB through my proxy.

Nice, recent, paper that explains exactly how Snowflake works and how Iran/Russia tried to block it. I had a Raspberry Pi lying around and wanted to do something useful with it, so I set up a snowflake proxy. Works well. I could see mu

That would be very helpful - I also find it hard to trust without seeing code! I've been using Paste which charges something like $20/year. Maybe you can set up a donation link/Github sponsor or so.

Maybe a mistake? I would usually read "mts" as "minutes".
918.
by croemer 2y ago
It looks like minutes but it can't be. It's milliseconds if you look at the numbers: "1.4 mts/day/century (0.5 sec/year/cty) historical slowdown"

Mixing seems like a straw man, why would one? I don't see what's wrong with Frequentist approach with alpha spending. The downside is one needs to understand alpha spending. But doing Bayesian without understanding it can be just

The context is A/B testing, so all the data will be on a computer already. It makes sense to abort early when the results are clear. This happens all the time in clinical trials.

Deliberately wasting your time on mobile, taking 10 seconds before telling you to view on desktop. Doesn't even respect desktop mode. Hard down vote. Very unpleasant experience.

My strategy is to wait and see. Initially downvoted questions can become quite popular. The people doing the downvoting on new questions are a minority. Majority of traffic and votes comes over months from search engines.

Looks like it yeah. Simplifying along the way. Results are not bad.

For that to make it into Wikipedia you'd have to first write an article in a reputable source.

Aren't accidents natural as well? If 1% of people die non-naturally, people would get around 100 times as old. If it's 10% they would get 10 times older.

Azure kindly provides free CI infrastructure for the bioconda project (conda-forge for bioinformatics packages). Unfortunately every year it breaks because some bit expires required for "hosted parallelism". This year the bit hasn
