Because waiting for the time when you can apply the most leverage is a shitty thing to do? How would you feel if your house was on fire and the fire fighters went on strike only then to demand they be given bounties? They had a contract, wa

I'm somewhat amazed that companies releasing strategy games aren't using AI to test out different cards and what not to find broken things before release (looking at you, Hearthstone)

I couldn't find it after searching, but I remember reading about a company where they just relaxed and got done what they got done. To me, this would be the ideal workplace.

I realize this is far off, but I'm hoping that someday I can get gene therapy to get this.

I don't think they want to have thing broken in the steady state, but anything that relies on things building for analysis etc.,. Could benefit from this.

Is this because Google is compelled to report this to the authorities? I would have thought any company could voluntarily submit anything to the police.

Seems stupid to assume such strong exponential growth.

I think this is what you're referring to: https://twitter.com/JoelBurgess/status/1428008041887281157 Some discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28230305 , but half of it is com

Hm... technically they're saying that their algorithm performs as well as possible "for every single graph topology". Your special cased algorithm would only work for one particular graph in a family of isomorphic graphs (unl

TDH doesn't actually change the paths used, it only makes determining them more efficient. There's different names for this family of related techniques. There's an unfinished article (not mine) talking more about this here:

No, I don't believe so. It clarifies specifically what problem it is optimal for "We prove that our working-set property is sufficient to guarantee universal optimality, specifically, for the problem of ordering vertices by their

A different problem in the sense that A* is useless (it degrades to dijkstra's) when there is no admissible heuristic. So I think it's reasonable to say that A* solves a different problem (namely, path finding when there is an adm

I've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole on path finding in the last week or two (most recently, this isn't the first time). When you have some knowledge of the topology of the graph you can use different techniques to do better than

by foota 2y ago
I think A* is solving a different problem than dijkstra's, since it requires an admissible heuristic to do any better than dijkstra's. As long as you have an admissible heurustic, A* won't ever perform worse than dijkstra&#x2

In some ways, you could imagine repos might be more scalable than issues within a repo, since you could reasonably assume a bound on the number of issues in a single repo.

Fwiw, I'd say this falls under the guidelines "Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about

I don't think it'd be too hard to find something like private RSA keys in memory, for example.

I think this depends on the adversaries you're concerned about. It's unlikely that breaking into a DC and dumping memory is going to be worth it without a very high expected payout. For one, you'd need very high technical exp

The issue here is there's sort of a missing middle. The main cloud provides offer physical security without you needing fedRAMP etc.,.

I would have thought carbon would have memory safety from the get go, but having a language where memory safety is one of the primary goals is meaningful in and of itself (as opposed to C++, where memory safety is one of many competing prio

Perhaps if the bands were wider it would provide sufficient incentive for adoption, since there would be more channels available (and a wider band would presumably be easier than two separate bands that are further apart).

I was asking myself this as I was writing it as well. I would assume that the State Government can choose to do what they will with regards to their own ferries, but that it would not be legal (interstate commerce) for them to require other

I think it's a fairly inconsistent business, for one. I wonder also if state protectionism is at pay. Washington State for example until recently was only considering in state ship builders to replace the ferry fleet

Hm... I guess the argument here is something like: we don't build 10,000 F-35s because we can't train 10,000 pilots. But with drones, the pilots are no longer a limiting factor so we can plan to scale drone production beyond what

by foota 2y ago
This doesn't seem right to me. The limiting factor here is the ability of an air to air missile to hit a target (and to find the target in the first place). A drone might be more survivable (if it's better at avoiding missiles bec

Right. That's a bit of a nothing burger to me. I mean, it's not nothing, but if you control the contents of a website it seems fairly irrelevant whether you can get Google to generate a summary that doesn't match the real con

B-Trees are good for in memory data too because they have fairly good cache behavior.

The big asterisk here is, what did they prompt the AI with to generate the podcast? Was it "Generate a podcast based on the website 'Foo'", or was it "Generate a podcast telling the true story of the Space Race?&quo
