It's not (only) a cultural thing. It's primarily an economic one! Getting a $THING fixed requires typically: 1) Getting a technician out to identify the fault 2) Order the required replacement part and wait for it to be shipped 3)

The point isn't about a change of legality. It's about a change of enforceability! In the normal regulated financial system _every_ entity you can interact with is known to someone who is a) good at keeping paper traces and b) ext

How many tokens did you use up and what did you pay for them?

by hnaccount_rng 1y ago
Not sure if that does help you though. A business that only exists because it doesn't have to pay taxes kind of shouldn't exist in the first place. At least not as a business

Interesting thought. Yeah.. the whole LLM-generated thing might end up being a boon. It is (reasonably) distinctive. At least for now. And rightly or wrongly it triggers defensive reflexes

Came here looking for this comment! I think we will need to find a way to communicate “this code is the result of serious engineering work and all tradeoffs have been thought about extensively” and “this code has been vibecoded and no one r

It's an interesting video, on the other hand it's also 80$ a piece. And I'm pretty sure they do not recoup R&D with those prices on reasonable compensation rates...

The number of photons themselves is not too restrictive (i think the voyager probe still emits 6ish photons per second directed at the receiving dish). And we easily build sensors that detect every photon (far above 99% levels). The tricky

Isn't that a rather trivial result? Or at least expected? Unless you manually encode the "this token consists of those tokens" information those are completely independent things for the model?

Do you have numbers for that? Because the higher-end munition also has (rudimentary) steering capabilities? And higher end stuff obviously has the same or better honing software

The estimate is 20 FPV hits for one kill right? But sure, the last one kills it
72.
by hnaccount_rng 1y ago
Then again the payload of an FPV is much more comparable to the mortar round than to the 155mm one

But ambiguity with respect to weapons production has to be taken as a confirmation of an intent to develop weapons of the opposite side. Which makes this equivalent to just having a nuke program. It doesn't even give you a bargaining c

They always immediately stop their conflicts once the building opposite of the one with the nuclear command center blows up. So... it seems to work for them

Do you have any source for the "they are loosing customers"? I always thought, that they consciously decided to have that shit of an interface because no one relevant to them (i.e. purchasing departments) cares?

That and a crap trackpad. Mean people could call those two point more than 90% of the reason to choose a Laptop ;)

They don’t need to. It’s totally sufficient that they can correlate your chat history with your identity. That makes other identifiers more valuable, if they can extract your interests

I spend significant parts of my PhD maintaining the packaging and deployment infrastructure of our group. But yes, I have close to no computer science and reasonably little intrinsic interest in the problem space (though I have a deep appre

I had one of those for a bit.. It has like half a day of battery power. And in about 50% of the cases it didn't hibernate properly. That being said: It's probably one of the better Linux laptops. Which says about everything that n

I’m very sorry. But for a person that tries to get into Nix this reads like pure gaslighting. I haven’t even found an official description of what Nix vs NixOS vs nixpkgs tries to achieve vs what they do not want to achieve. There is a near

Isn't the problem the "labelling" of "privacy-sensitive" in the first place?

The irony of course being that Hubble's original data is, at least in modern scientific analysis, very well compatible with "no expansion". There is _a lot_ of community flavour involved in how we talk about measurement resul

That’s a difficult example. I don’t think anyone would reasonably expect the engineering artifact twitter.com to break. But the business artifact did break. At least to a reasonable degree. The Ad revenue is still down (both business news a

But that resonance is a form of surprise. You are just using different words for the same context. At the same time: You are correct in the sense, that this "surprise" is completely ignored by today's LLMs. They only use this

There is an interesting analogy that my Analysis I professor once said: The intersection of all valid examples are also a definition of an object. In many ways this is, at least in my current understanding, how ML systems "think".

Basically none of modern optics would exist without astronomy (well at least astronomy is a convenient cover for military/intelligence interests funding better optics). Most of statistics and efficient cameras originate in astronomy&#x

I'm not sure if you can separate this as easily. In Germany for example a lot of funding comes through Max Planck institutes (and Fraunhofer and Leibniz centres and I' forgetting one), not sure if those are counted as government,

Installation costs dominate largely due to one-off things (getting the contractor/customer, roof access, adapting to bespoke roof layout, etc) which are disproportionately larger for smaller installation sizes. However for new construc
