This is especially true in business situations. Although there is a very collective decision making process, it can be quite hierarchical. Often, if a manager has stated a position others will not disagree even if it is quite wrong. This is

Unless the person has been going faster than 20mph at a turning radius of more than 30ft for more than a few seconds, it's unlikely to be a car accident. Whether the accuracy and sampling rate are always sufficient to distinguish these

They did quite well for 3G and even 4G which didn't have as many above 2.4GHz , but after 4GLTE, 5G has added a lot of mid-bands between 2.6-6GHz. Those tend to leak more since they have shorter wavelengths than microwaves are built ar

You might think of it as a tragedy of the commons. Certainly, there are many who rely on the "rudeness" of the travelers for their livelihood. New Orleans comes to mind, when I say that people who live there may not appreciate the

Indeed. Choose your level. Is accidental snuff ok, but child porn bad? White nationalist OK, but Nazi bad? Really, the only limit is whether it's ad supported. Friendster > SomethingAwful > 4Chan > 8Kun or Twitter > Gab &gt

I think the original title was better: "Bridging the gap between neural networks and functions" It discusses the standard backpropagation optimization method in differential form and the functional approximation of neural networks

The Yuan has roughly been pegged to the dollar @ ~7Y/$ for the last few years, but it rose (falling ratio) during the pandemic and it has been falling a lot (rising ratio) recently. https://www.macrotrends.net/2575&#x2F

Even more important, if you're on batteries as opposed to grid-tied, your battery costs can go down significantly. Since the worst days of the year tend to be winter and overcast, if you can install enough capacity to still generate a

Studying for the test and taking easy classes, especially as premeds, has been a (likely accurate) stereotype of the medical profession since at least the 1970s & 80s.

Yep, I find most of the discussion around it profoundly uninformed. California averages (corrected 127 thousand) --1.8Million-- acres of prescribed burns a year. They were happening in the 1980s and 90s (when there were mistakes that cost l

We have totally debased selling out. Back in my day Enron energy traders got a $50k bonus for turning off the power to "Grandma Millie" and making their bosses millions. Now a Gen Z kid would do it for only $1k! To be fair in the

I'm a bit more hopeful for the auto generated (stable diffusion) illustration lowering the barrier for a good human writer, but I suppose I care more about the quality of content than the originality of images. Wait until the children&

Well, that and the eternal damnation of your soul. They'd probably rehypothecated theirs already, but it's worth noting that: Absolution of an accomplice is a sin that incurs automatic excommunication.

I suspect we agree more than disagree. I was on the Driver/TCON development side. I remember the QD guys demoing new OLED TVs at DisplayWeek '17 that showed visible degradation of extreme (B&W bars and Logos) visible at 64 sRG

I agree those costs may not seem that high, and I think the transport costs in that case would be dominated by security. Daily BIS is ~$6T, and I'm not sure how much net would need to be transported, but even $1B/day in costs star

Nobody wants to transact in an inherently deflationary currency with high fees, unless they are speculators or money laundering. It's a store of value at best, which is more like gold than a currency. The gold standard was dropped for

Thanks! This is a great overview demo of current panels! You can already see some very slight degradation in some of LGs OLEDs, but many of the Sony/Visio (and Samsung) OLED panels. The others mostly look like standard LCD and DDI&#x2F

Sorry, but I've been in that industry (LCD and OLED) for over 10 years and this doesn't match with my understanding. QLED is basically an LCD technology with QuantumDot on top. It is just Samsung's marketing. Most all mid tie

Well, I had hoped the sarcastic comparison to cut heroin would make it clear. No, I don't think there's much change at all to GPT-4 (at the API level) and probably not that much at the pre/post language detection and sanitati

If people haven't seen it UT Prof Scott Aaronson had GPT4 take his Intro Quantum final exam and had his TA grade it. It made some mistakes, but did surprisingly well with a "B". He even had it argue for a better grade on a p
