They got the soft-glove Republican run investigation treatment and they still ended up charging 30+ people, including those closest to Trump. They also proved _numerous_ extremely suspicious ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, and p

With Dynamo it seems to depend a lot exactly what you're doing. If you're careful about your queries, it's pretty cheap.

Great advice. Hard to take when you're broke and trying to make rent though. So they should have basic, agreed standards of what appropriate agreements look like, negotiated as a group.

There currently isn't much that's exactly comparable. I'm personally giving the more open competitors more time to improve. I refuse to get excited unless it's something I can conceivable run myself once whatever company

With today's hardware there's not a lot of difference. If you keep things cool and maybe unlock a limit or two, you'll get better performance automatically. The parallels seem pretty good :)

This isn't even the start of the problem. Most of Asimov's work in this area is having fun poking holes in the 3 (or more) laws. Only someone who didn't read ~any of it and didn't think about it much would think that the

Thanks. What happens to it over time though, won't it just build up like crazy in the place you spray it continuously? Or it dries up and blows away or breaks up in the sun or something?

Considering it doesn't do shit for the intended purpose here, seems like a good parallel I guess.

They talk about that, but how would that work? How would you do that without just inundating the entire area with soap? I don't want mosquitoes but I also want my yard to not be a permanent soapy mess.

How much of this is just to bury everyone in useless data, similar to how in discovery for lawsuits, one tactic is to just send hundreds of boxes of paper in the hopes that nobody will find the actually bad stuff?

Yeah, that's kind of the point I was trying to make. It's an innapropriate compuational model, so the answers you get out aren't meaningful.

You can indeed make the distinction between polynomial and pseudo-polynomial stop existing by enforcing the inputs are in unary. But you haven't made anything faster, you've just made almost all of them worse.

As with everything in algorithm analysis, it depends on your model of computation. That is, it depends what you're counting. For sorting (comparison sorts), one fairly typical model is to just count how many comparisons you do. Which,

That's very reassuring nuance for any several-million-year-old societies hanging around. Doesn't do much for us though.

There's already other ways to reinforce concrete, one I know of is embedding kind of fiber-glass mesh in it instead of rebar. I quick google suggests that this might be called Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcing, or possibly tha
