- "Recall" statistics are a factor in new car purchases. I don't particularly care if the fix is OTA, but I do care about a brand's propensity for releasing safety-critical garbage. Skirting around those aggregations and

It's even better if you have anything automated executing your tests and whatnot (like popular VSCode plugins showing a nice graphical view of which errors arise from where through your local repo). You could own a developer's mac

That's an interesting point as well, but the entire article seems to me to be focused on programmer speed rather than program speed. What about it spoke to the latter rather than the former for you?

How kind! Thank you. Current applications are just ML/adtech, and the only parts of my job that have really used any PDE skills have been understanding the phase space of autoscaling and optimizing for a set of parameters that have min

1. Those methods are coarse. The interpolation they provide is worse than what a PINN provides, meaning that equivalently performing PINNs (compard to coarse numerical methods) can easily and cheaply serve as better initializations for your

It depends on the PDE and what you want to do with it. A PINN requires: 1. Some example data or other way to add boundary conditions 2. Autograd over PDE constraints 3. A training loop incorporating both of those And it produces a. An appro

That's a service most (all?) post-paid phone numbers provide in the US. It's one of the reasons FB won't (or didn't used to) let you create an account on a lot of the lower-cost cell providers.

Disclaimer: I don't have a lot of comments on TDD as a whole, other than that most software I write is very exploratory (I'll throw away the first 3-10 drafts, and by no means does that mean it takes 3-10x as long to write), and t

The difference also comes from the grippier tires on the Model 3, the total tread volume on those tires compared to a smaller car, and that the Model 3 compared to the average car isn't apples to apples if you're looking at tire w

Maybe, but the average Tesla tire lasts half as long as my tires typically do, and the extra weight from the battery combined with the high onset torque are likely culprits (the former of which you can't fix with current battery techno

To be fair, they had demand and were lacking supply at the point that they made their first large purchase. It was a bit risky, but probably not near as bad as an ordinary startup's chance of failure.

Kind of. Imagine it was a physical good instead. Tax havens might not be a bad example. The UK can absolutely demand that a UK citizen or corporation bring something or another back to the country, and if the laws of that other nation confl

Sorry if this comes across the wrong way; I'm just trying to stay in the loop: Is that referring to the DOGE boys who were caught between months and years ago, or is there a confirmed leak of the new information?

It depends on a lot of things. You could just as easily wash off the wax that was applied to the orange and make it spoil faster that way, and the extra moisture will cause delicate fruits (like berries) to spoil more quickly than any gains
