Really? I bet in a few years we'll have tools that can inspect a model and tell you exactly what parts do what function and how they do it.

For anyone else who's wondering why a RISC-V soldering iron is special, it's not necessarily for soldering: > This means you can use the Pinecil as a platform to create something completely different based on this platform, suc

I've never heard the term Cali-Mex, but I'd say that Taco Bell is way closer to Tex-Mex than any other taco places in SoCal, which are generally much more authentic.

If you haven't seen it, watch Ex Machina. I don't want to give away anything but it covers that kind of idea.

Sorry yep I was a bit wrong on the swamp coolers. The water can cool the air through conduction down to the temperature of the tap, but the actual evaporation process warms it. (I may still have it wrong, please correct me) In the link you

Ask HN: How do I get a two-stage (indirect) evaporative cooler?

In "Contagion" almost everyone who got it showed symptoms immediately and died within a few days, so testing wasn't really a solution.

So this basically boils down to keeping your training data in memory? Is there something else I missed?

Elon Musk can afford it and is the only one known to tweet crazy stuff.

Yep, it was a struggle even when I thought I was supposed to be writing pseudocode. I've had some really great interviews using coderpad and similar software (including the company I'm at now), and it's such a better represen

Totally agree. I learned to drive in LA, then moved to Silicon Valley and could not stand driving there (a combination of bad drivers and bad traffic light, intersection, and expressway design). I moved back to LA and it's a relief, ev

I had a very similar experience interviewing for Google. I was asked to do a task that eventually boiled down to a topological sort, and I thought the question consisted of recognizing that the answer was a topological sort and moving on be

Interestingly, I've seen infinite recursions get optimized to infinite tail calls. This makes debugging harder because instead of a stack overflow you just have an infinite loop and have to manually go kill the process and get a breakp

Yep, it honestly never occurred to me that the name of the tool wasn't godbolt. I just went to the site and noticed "Compiler Explorer" for the first time, which seems so generic that I never thought of it as a name.

I totally agree with this. I'm relatively new to SQL but have recently had to start messing around with it. In all other CS domains I know exactly what will happen under the hood for any given action, but for SQL I have zero clue. I wo

Even if Ghz haven't changed, IPC is much higher so you'll still see huge increases in single-thread performance!

I think you're misunderstanding how this flywheel operates. It doesn't provide 50hz AC in the same way the grid operates, it just is attached to a DC motor that provides electricity which can then be converted into AC to power the

Smaller batteries are absolutely VC-backable. If they're developed for any application (phones, cars, power grid) they'll spill over into every other area.

There are a ton of Youtubers that do exactly this for unboxing/reaction videos.

I believe any time you paste with the native keyboard UI up it doesn't go through the app. You only need to snoop the clipboard if you want to proactively use the data without having the user paste.

Yeah that makes sense. I don't use Snapchat much so when I go on every few days I just like to see everyone's stories in a row then exit.

Any time I try to order food on the web I feel like I have to make an account for some service I've never heard of and manually enter in credit card info. I fully welcome just being able to choose my order and pay with Apple Pay, nothi

When viewing people's stories all at once I feel like I get semi-NSFW ads in between every person's story, which makes me want to just leave the app.

If you take every particle in the universe, let’s say there are 10^100 of them (probably an overestimate of a few orders of magnitude), then say that each one interacts with every other one once every plank time until the end of the univers

Such a great trilogy! I hope we'll send out noticeable signals into space at some point down the line, and I wonder if our descendants in a few tens of thousands of years will look back on it as self-destructive hubris in the same way

As an FYI, any number that is grounded in counting the occurrences of any event across the entire universe and until the end of time won't even come close to Graham's Number and any other "immense numbers" in math.

Game developers might treat PC players like that, but never console players. If an optimization boosted performance on PCs but was detrimental to consoles they would never implement it.

What apps do they not let owners reinstall? I got iDOS on my iPhone during a brief stint on the App Store and was able to redownload it on all my new devices until they dropped 32 bit support. It was a pretty cool party trick to run Windows

The TV by itself might do it just fine! They often have good analog to digital converters built in as shown by Technology Connections: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC5Zr3NC2PY
