Numpy recently removed Apple's Accelerate framework as a supported BLAS implementation, due to alleged bugs in Accelerate. The Accelerate framework is the only thing that has the Matrix co-processor support. https://github.c

Tell us how much, on a per-KWh, the design, build, and operational costs of a Navy reactor are please.

by jhayward 6y ago
You should know, then, that the cost to design, build, and operate those reactors was orders of magnitude higher than any commercial plant that would be competitive. The problem with nuclear is primarily cost, cost, cost, and then scale, se

There are plenty of backup systems that implement a retention policy. Basically everywhere that cares about their email retention policy has them.

In todays real world, where it takes 10 times the time and effort to refute bullshit than to transmit it, your request is nothing but support for the disinformation campaign. Academic ideals of debate are not what happens now. Please ada

The numbers I'm quoting assume a 50.1% majority of the voters in the small states, not some cherry-picked fantasy. I don't think your response is anything but trying to change the subject. If you think the union can survive the i

Why do you think that having 15% of the population controlling the most powerful house of Congress, and something like 35% of the population being able to control the executive branch will lead to less tension?

I haven't been back to rust since, so I don't have the specifics. But it was clear to me that this was not a helpful way to program. It was also crystal clear that, like C++, Rust puts many barriers to true abstraction. You have

I got the idea by following the Rust tutorials and then making 'simple' programs, seeing the errors, going to Rust resources and getting the advice 'just cut and paste the expected type'. The expected types generally ha

I'm always puzzled by people who see this as somehow a good thing. If the Rust compiler can figure out what the type should be, why doesn't it just do the cross-function inference, and leave the complicated nested implications whi

You might consider that the staging, framing, and scoring is all very deliberate and designed to appeal to a certain demographic. The kind that might be influenced by lots of flags, badges, sword imagery, and serious, somber GOP officials

I have a 2018 F-150. There are no class actions or recalls related to the rear window that I can find via Google or the NHTSA recall registry. Can you provide the information you describe above?

Guess what? Ford F-150 rear windows shatter spontaneously too. It's a known problem, truck owners hope it happens before the warranty runs out because otherwise they're on the hook for a $1000 replacement. Why is this on HN?

That is a lie. There is no "movement to ensure accuracy". There is a coup attempt to alter the honest outcome of a legitimate election.

As a foundation for the above, also add universal data provenance. I want to know, in exact detail and provable chain of evidence, how a specific fact or conclusion about me arrived in company A's database.

It is really unfortunate that the very commonly used numerical/scientific packages Numpy and Scipy removed[1] Apple’s Accelerate framework compatibility this year due to ‘errors in the framework’. It looks like Python users won’t have
