Congrats! I was recently considering again hosting a chat server, tried out dendrite and conduit (efficient matrix homeservers), but the admin api are still not there yet (they don't seem production ready yet). So i'm gonna stick

I never measured anything, but i'm running a recursive resolver on my laptop since a couple years (knot resolver) and never had any performance problem.

Kolmogorov complexity kinda does account for "prior knowledge" (that's why it's not computable). A shakespearian sonnet will have low kolmogorov complexity (there's redundancy).

There's only so many groups that can leverage and profit from costly blackboxes that predict people's behavior. Additionally, i view ML as a hyperscaler version of science: you're trading money (training hw) for expert time.

I'm all in to ban SUV. But by doing that you're gonna threaten the masculinity and sense of identity of a large set of people. Intelligent politicians will use this to drift the debate into elite green progressists vs working clas

Surely that's much easier and less ressource intensive than using less planes and helicopters.

For haskell programmers most likely! Just like there's only the obvious way in which groups are useful for speed cubers.

You're pointing to something saying that power-law distributed noise can be generated by filtering white noise (and doing the filtering in the frequency domain, but that's really an implementation detail). OP actually wants to onl

This feels to me like "is there any non rubik's cube example of group?". Category theory is a mathematical tool used by mathematicians and built for mathematicians, so you'll have trouble understanding why it's conc

You'll find that you are indeed correct and that it is the point of the article that neither C nor assembly are compelling low level programing languages.

At the end of the day you can always record the video buffer in some way or another (hdmi capture device, etc). The problem is that screen recording isn't what you want: it's lossy because you'll re-encode the output of a los

Seems weird to me to frown upon python and then being ok with perl.. but whatever floats your boat! Perhaps check out https://github.com/iawia002/annie which is Go so you can get a static binary.

yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl, it's being throttled exactly the same, they just merge the fixes quicker. It's mostly a "cutting edge" branch of youtube-dl (not sure how much gets merged back tho).
