Applied research consists of taking theoretical findings and applying them to a specific application. As such, applied research requires fundamental research.

While this perspective has merit, it is hampered by the fact that all of the examples used are polar equations, and the illustrations are therefore unnecessarily dramatic. Given that a Cartesian representation of a polar relationship is alw

The only person who presented any evidence is the GP and it affirms my claim. Can you present the evidence you so speak of?

Hear hear! Thank you. People are downvoting like mad because they want to drive their own agendas and are afraid of reality, except reality stands undefeated. Everyone wants a piece they call their own. Fighting against it is fighting again

Sure, that's your personal preference and to each their own. The market speaks otherwise. Detached homes are the most desirable section of the real estate market based on consumer surveys, see the greatest growth in value compared to o

Your proposal flies in the face of what people actually want. Everyone wants a detached home with a yard. No one wants to live in a condo, an oct or a quad, or even a row house, as a permanent life-long dream. Not the people who currently o

Yeah, MS took that lesson to heart with Office, and now it's a disaster to use for everyone, not just power-users.

We can call wikipedia content facts by consensus. It's hard to say the same for LLMs since the input is not curated for accuracy, even though the wikipedia content is a subset of the entire training corpus. In short, the curation is th

Uh, internet dude, you must be new to finance. Banks have been doing this for centuries. Best business in the world? Sure. But it's even better when you invest in things that earn more, right? Like equities. That's what banks do.

Why is Tether a bubble?

by glitchc 1y ago
Cash doesn't earn interest. T-bills and money market funds earn minimal interest compared to equities. Given the size of their holdings, Tether is paying a huge opportunity cost for their position. I don't consider that good busin

The difference is hardware. A large part of the explosion around Linux in desktop computing is based on the fact that IBM's patents for desktop architecture expired and IBM clones proliferated in the marketplace. Also, busses like ISA&

It sounds like a great opportunity to poison the well. Create a bot farm that points the browser to every dank and musty corner of the web ad naseum: Old Yahoo, Myspace and Geocities pages, 4chan, 8chan, etc. Let's flood the system wit

Git Extensions is amazing. Too bad it's only for Windows. As nice as Magit may be, it would be even better as a standalone TUI application. I don't want to have to learn Emacs to use it.

I've had electro-acupuncture to as part of my recovery from shoulder surgery. One possible side-effect is that nerves can occasionally misfire or auto-fire. It could manifest itself as a tick or a twitch, where a specific muscle fires

It requires an application. How is that not eligibility testing? Did you read the article?

It sounds utopian except you still have to pay for a cell plan on said device, no? How else to obtain a phone number for MFA?

It's a great idea. Why not join forces with the PinePhone and Librem folks? They're building the hardware and I'm sure they could use more software folk to help out with the firmware and OS.

Perhaps better rephrased as "software that's been running for a (long) while is more reliable than software that only started running recently."

Sure, I can get behind that statement for certain things that we consider essential to a person's dignity and safety. Demanding access to Gmail or Facebook doesn't sound like it.

Isn't the author confusing closed platforms for closed software? There are open platforms out there (Mastodon, Bluesky), but they lack traction. For any closed platform, the owner of the platform gets to decide what the stack looks lik

But what's the prompt that led to this output? Is it just a simple "Write code to divide a by b?" or are there instructions added for code safety or specific behaviours? I know it's Karpathy, which is why the entire prom

So who will pay for universal healthcare? And if we spend on universal healthcare, what do we give up in return? If we don't exploit resources and capacities, we have less money to go around. Standards of living suffer, mostly affectin
