Sorry, I mean, long before the iron age.

How amazing would it be to discover that an ancient civilization existed with a technology level on par with the iron age or so? I guess if we were finding dinosaurs though the odds we wouldn't have found anything from that time are ma

I mean, I certainly wouldn't invest all my savings, but like a year's or so worth of savings maybe.

Somehow this connection never crossed my mind between the UKs gun-hoeness and the assassination.

I'm surprised the employees aren't making a buy out offer at this point. I'd love to own a reasonable fraction of the company I work for at that sort of price and would happily throw in some of my savings.

The embeddings are used by algorithms, not people, generally. You could ask something like "what's the most similar place to X within Y", and it would using the embeddings (which cover a variety of facts) to calculate answer.

The approach seems to focus on selecting optimizations to apply for LLVM (e.g., imagime: should this be inlined as an example), but the worst case is that the code is poorly optimized, you can't select optimizations to apply and get a

This kind of application of LLMs is most interesting to me, since it's possible to evaluate correctness and performance quantitatively.

Your two quotes don't follow: > We increased crop yields multifold already With catastrophic effects. > Most of it is because of animal agriculture.

The terminology here is confusing, you could say it really grates on me.
911.
by foota 3y ago
The diffraction grate (not gate, it is gating but it's a grate) has a number of possible diffraction modes dependent on the angular range of the DMD (an array of tiny mirrors that flip back and forth between two positions). In this cas

White noise and other background sounds cause issues here.

by foota 3y ago
I don't think so, I think it's more like sweeping an image across multiple sensors over time using the grating (probably via one of the piezo optical effects?) But I'm not familiar with your terminology, so maybe that's

Heh, I guess there are board states that are not possible to reach through a valid sequence of moves, but I guess otherwise it's not possible that games are more compressable by definition, since any valid board state could be represen

I think this is more like caching the regex than creating it at compile time? Load time I think is basically runtime. I think lisp can be loaded and then rehydrated later, but I'm not sure how common that is.

I don't want to get in to deep. But they said "lose money on each sale" not that the fee would be greater than your revenue. If you make $1 in revenue, pay 90 cents in various fees, and then 20% (20 cents) to unity, you'

Pragmatically, many people enjoy indie games as much (or more) than AAA games. AAA games are more oriented towards making money and mass market appeal, and if we don't provide a market for indie games then we lose out on the specialty

I don't think there's anyone not using unity today that would use it tomorrow because of a pricing change (well, at least, for values of today and tomorrow from last week)

Wholesale electricity prices are based on the marginal cost of electrical generation. As a result, wholesale costs will generally be driven by the cost of natural gas generation.

I don't think a crowbar attack will work in this case, I doubt you'll be able to get the lock to talk. /s

Fwiw you could probably build this in a way that it continues to operate without internet. This creates a new attack vector (disable the internet and you can't revoke access) but that's probably acceptable given the physical attac

The real issue here (sorry for true Scotsman-ing) is that they were using an untested combination of configuration and binary release. Configuration and binaries can be rolled out in lockstep, preventing this class of issues. Of course ther

Aren't lock free data structures more about reducing the impact of contention than throughput under low contention?

This is really interesting, could you explain a little more? Is it that each of these mines is a different lithium compound, and there's no economical process to convert it to some base form?

Just hope someone doesn't have a good magnifying glass (I don't know if it's true of this, but many storage mediums leave a physical pattern that you can see, and randomness sticks out)

Tbh I feel like that's probably an underestimate, but otoh that's probably a fraction of the cost of maintaining the trees themselves, so I'm not sure it's worth fretting over.
