Can highly recommend this article. I wrote a small chess engine for fun, mostly during a long plane flight back in 2018 when I had no internet access. My process for writing the engine followed almost exactly the series of steps laid out in

This article is pretty ideology heavy and information free for an article that claims to be ideology free and just focusing on understanding.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter what you want to call the law. If there is a law that requires you to do something when employing California residents, that is de facto an employment law, and the point still stands.

Thanks for explaining this. I actually wrote a SIMD implementation of trig functions years ago, using the techniques you describe. You can check it out: https://github.com/jeremysalwen/vectrig I compared several diffe

> Python bindings let you connect Python functions to your sqlite3 instance, so you can call them from SQL I think the idea is calling python functions from SQL to check 'matched letter in wrong place'.

The question is whether "[the police] are under instructions directly from Chesa Boudin [not to arrest people for property crime]" as you claimed. This claim appears to be a lie, the article you linked provides no supporting evid

You claim: "they are under instructions directly from Chesa Boudin" Article you linked says: Absolutely nothing to support this You claim: "His DA office is only trying ~50% of crimes compared to other major cities" Arti

I wish the comparisons allowed you to flip back and forth between the versions in a single location on the screen. That would make it much easier to spot the differences.

As a SWE working on Google Search, I can tell you this is not the case for Google Search (Nobody understands anywhere close to 85% of it). The amount of different moving pieces is enormous, and most parts are constantly being changed. The

That's a very interesting way of thinking about things, but I think unfortunately the search techniques we are using (gradient descent with certain datasets/self-supervision tasks) limit us to exploring a very small subset of that

Hmm, the examples given show local analysis, within a single function. Where this sort of analysis really shines is with global analysis where you can trace dataflow across functions, and even across abstract interfaces. I have only seen t

Not an expert on this topic but I noticed that the KLL algorithm (published in 2016) was not mentioned in this thread, which provides theoretically optimal performance for streaming quantiles with guaranteed worst case performance: http:&#

Ironically, I think the advice of "Personal Finance experts" (which are derided in this article) is probably perfect for you. Maybe someone else will have a specific suggestion of who to check out, but I think they are mainly try

My interpretation of that paper is that it is saying "We don't have hard enough bounds on the parameters of the Drake Equation, so one (or more) of the parameters could be much lower than expected". But without specifying wh

No need to be accusatory. The stories are different, just the learned behavior is the same. And not very surprising, considering your story was pre-empted by Pac-Man speedrunners, who already discovered this technique, which they call &quo

It seems like you have decided that sex is solely defined by gametes. Ignoring for now that this is not the sole criterion of "sex" used in most scientific and colloquial contexts, even on your own terms, it is not true that all

Pretty shocking that for all the discussion of this news article, yours is the only comment that looked into the actual "defamatory claims", and it seems the only one we have access to... was factually true (but heavily editoriali

You can actually put ~50k per year into a Roth ira using the mega backdoor technique. Still impressive.

I am not making specific claims about where specific individuals are classified in terms of sex, because I am not an expert. I am implying pointing out that the idea of sex as a discrete variable with two choices in humans is wrong. It is

That's actually a pretty interesting idea! The commercially available panels with the highest specific power are about 700 W/kg (with an estimated upper bound of 1.2 W/kg) [1], in comparison to gasoline which is 12.5kWh/

I think the opposite is true. Bad abstractions can be automatically removed with copy/paste and constant propagation. N pieces of code that are mostly the same but have subtle differences have no automatic way to combine them into a
