Block based automated signaling can technically be implemented as a primarily local system. Each block needs to know if there is a train in itself block (in which case all block entrance signals must show stop, and approach signals indicat

Why would this be? I'm probably missing something. Don't these LLMs fundamentally work by outputting a vector of all possible tokens and strengths assigned to each, which is sampled via some form of sampler (that typically impleme

Historically from a revenue perspective essentially all the tarrif revenue came from bulk imports (trucks, ships, etc). It is important to also capture tarrifs from high value parcels, as for small but high value items a parcel can very muc

I'm confused. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is clearly meant for data that would otherwise be in a configuration style dotfile. This is the sort of configuration that that users may well want to sync between machines such that a dotfile manager sho

The European Commission's proposed interim solution for age verification (ageverification.dev) is actually pretty good vs the shitshow of the US and UK. It works like this: 1. You contact an age verification provider (e.g., national eI

For simple tail recursion, expression as a loop is pretty simple, just define the function with the same parameters, and mutate the parameters, possibly creating local copies of the original values if you need the previous value to evaluate

I'm not sure that it necessarily follows from the overlap they are not linearly independent. As far as I can tell that alone would simply make them non-orthogonal basis vectors. The issue is more that there isn't really any freque

Yeah, while large portions of the online logic puzzle communities tend to agree that puzzles should not require backtracking (after all one can often trivialize the intended logical solve path like that), it has proven difficult to define w

That can vary. A fair number of institutions would consider an undergrad paper that consisted mostly of cited quotations, with only a small amount of original analysis and conclusion drawing to be a form of plagiarism, even while a similar

Honestly, health insurance has a lot wrong. Things like the 80/20 rule can create some weird incentives. Normally an insururer would want to minimize the costs of what they insure, but if non-claim overheads plus profit has reached 20%

In my experience not many OTG devices actually used (mini-/micro-)AB ports, instead using just normal (mini-/micro-)B ports. The adapters generally just used a (mini-/micro-)B plug with the id pin wired like an OTG A plug. Th

Kick has a pretty bad reputation in the streamer community. It first became notable when twitch banned certain gambling content, which kick allows. This gave it an initial reputation of being a site that allows content that Twitch does not.

The PostgreSQL's devs are fine with that. Such use cases may not be quite as optimized as relational usecases, but they should be possible. If you are doing that then perhaps a different database would be nicer or faster for that scena
