Turns out we had the Fermi paradox wrong all this time, it's not the all intelligent space faring civilizations we had to fear, but space MRSA.

Imo there's a difference between criticizing industry use and learning. If you haven't learned to code, but just to tell an LLM what you want, you will not be a successful software engineer. There's no difference here in my m

Avoiding a large part of society isn't a practical response. Besides, many may not know of the forced arbitration, despite it negatively impacting them. People are famously bad at these coordination problems.

I don't think they meant cost, I think they mean like replacing your PCI bus with optical interfaces.

If your only problem with a quantum computer is the energy required to run it, then you have a very good problem. edit: it might make sense to be worried about the feasibility of cooling it, since I think the infrastructure required for kee

I think their goal is to capture large debris before it becomes small debris.

There's a convoluted process that they can game to extend their exclusivity with the FDA see e.g., https://time.com/6336840/patent-manipulation-insulin-prices/

This doesn't make sense. Pricing could very reasonably vary by country in order for a company to try to capture more revenue though price discrimination. This says nothing about whether this is done to cover the costs of development or

Ground truth data is generally something used as an offset for some other data. e.g., if I told you that you moved 1 meter to the right and your old position, you'd be able to tell your new position from the ground truth.

Most of the cost of an L3 miss comes after the miss itself, for most architectures I've seen. E.g., on Skylake an L3 hit is 80 cycles (~20ns) whereas a RAM access is 80 cycles plus 50 nanos (~70 nanos). See https://www.7-cpu

I don't think this is quite accurate, browsers won't treat PUT requests as safe the same way it does a get request.

It seems to me like removing a non negligible amount of biomass from the ocean would be infeasible, so it's difficult for me to see the impact this could possibly have.

Not exactly, these meshes are cubes, while marching cubes generates non cube meshes.

Would it ever make sense to pour foundations of some kind rather than put in poles? I'm thinking maybe a trench making machine could be used and concrete poured into the trench, and then the solar panels could be secured by putting a w

Was the multiplier high enough for this block that it would have made sense to rent GPUs to mine it?

This is like saying an image is or isn't open source. The model itself isn't a program, so asking whether it's open source or not is a bit of a category error. So it's a bit silly for anyone to claim a model is open sour

Quantum computers are only tangentially related to P=NP, in that some problems in NP may have solutions that are polynomial time on quantum computers, but this says nothing about the rest of them. This class of problems is know as BQP. Is i

Yes, I agree. I'm saying it's not a coincidence that 60 has many divisors, but rather an artifact of the way it was derived. I don't think we disagree.

by foota 3y ago
If you're deriving a number by repeatedly adding (e.g., 5 12 times), you should be bound to have a greater than average number of divisors. So in some ways it's not entirely coincidental. In fact, 12 is derived the same way, 4 fin

Do you know the downside with RWKV? Based on how they present it, it seems like the best thing since sliced bread, but I would have assumed that it would have been widely adopted if that were the case.

I wonder if AI could be built to continually adapt, so that instead of playing an optimal strategy, it instead chooses between various suboptimal strategies. If humans train to play against the optimal strategy, then maybe the AI could do b

It's often talked about how new sql databases offer better scalability than standard SQL databases, but I think it's maybe sometimes underappreciated how (some, not all) of them are also much simpler in terms of their consistency

My understanding taken from someone smarter than me is that the issues with coroutines in C++ can be worked around for a good and efficient implementation.

Is there any way to comment past the date? This seems like a horrible idea.

So... for what it's worth I think I have a fairly good spatial reasoning ability (probably from playing lots of games that involve building things, math, and building things as a kid), but I don't have any imagery that comes with
