Right, but it's a well researched drug with a weight gain side effect, so it's probably a reasonable entry point for them to learn about the thing they asked (unless they happened to care about that cancer drug in particular, but

Prednisone is a pretty common drug with weight gain as a side effect, so that might be a good place to look further. It increases water retention (obviously not permanent or unbounded), increases appetite, and redistributes fat (giving the

Even assuming those are flawless, lifting keys is still O(n) in the key size, and the battle is just increasing the constant factor enough to make it unattractive. The problem is that lifting keys is attractive for reasons much more valuabl

That's the reason we have courts, to cut through those gray areas.

I'm not too familiar with NixOS, but I've been running Gentoo for ages and don't know why you'd need constant internet. Would you mind elaborating?

This is something I used to agree with, but implicit narrowing is dangerous, enough so that I'd rather be more explicit most of the time nowadays. The core problem is that you're changing the semantics of that integer as you chang

The thing it's being compared to (desktop software) had the same functionality with none of those costs, and it was easier to develop. That's somewhat like a grocery store hiring a dozen egg-sitters to keep the egg supply emotiona

Pick any compiled language and test it. Pick an algorithm making heavy use of a small (<10, maybe up to a hundred elements) hashset, and try using a linear structure instead. The difference will be most apparent with complicated keys, bu

In my mind, that's always been the point in dropping log factors. The algorithms are comparable enough that the actual implementation starts to matter, which is all we're really looking for in a Big-O analysis.

The normal claim is a bit weaker, that under caloric restriction the body situationally reacts by doing a lot less work. You also see reports of reduced cognitive abilities and whatnot, consistent with lower energy expenditures. I think tho

It's currently quite popular for various drone resources to claim that, but it's blatantly false as a general statement. Federally there are fuzzy (court-interpreted) altitude restrictions basically any place where a person might

It's often not legal for drones to fly too close to the ground too though (e.g., <200ft). Details are decided largely through case law.

It's similar, but the advice should be good for a software professional. It's an actionable, well-documented goal which takes you through the basics you're likely to care about. If any step needs some extra explanations, the

The FAA isn't the only relevant authority, even if it were you'd still find low-altitude flights often illegal, even if legal you'd still find some activities like trapping the drone with a net situationally legal, and none o

It depends on the value of x. I think it's safe to assume x <= 0.75, else they'd contribute negatively to their teams (happens from time to time, but let's be generous). Previously they'd be anywhere from a 0/10

Stupid? By paying 5x (normally 2-4x, but whatever) of a thing you don't care about at inference you can gain 2x in the primary thing you care about at inference. It's like handing out 4 extra bricks and getting back an extra lump

It works for a lot of families but not all. You need a high enough degree of sharing of model weights between different queries for that to make sense (memory access being the usual bottleneck nowadays, though smaller models see something s

It's the same sort of bug that killed that Mars mission and the same reason some people insist on keyword parameters instead of ordered parameters. People make mistakes, and implicit conversions allow those mistakes to silently propaga

The article mentioned that gcc and clang have such extensions. Having it in the language is nice though, and that's the approach Zig took.

In some fields, sure, cite the 4chan source, ideally with an archived link. Pure math tends to be much more conservative in citations than other fields though, and even when writing a paper about a longstanding math problem you wouldn'

The hyperreals don't fix the x/0 or 0/0 problems. Infinitesimals have a well-defined division and take the place of a lot of uses of 0 in the reals, but the hyperreals still have a 0, and the same problem posed in their comme

It's undefined because there isn't an obvious choice: - At x:=0, every real is a reasonable limit for some path through the euclidean plane to (0,0). Ignore the 0/0 problem, then x/0 still has either positive or negative
