But you must drive a line somewhere. If "a cosmic ray could mess with your program counter, so you must model your program as if every statement may be followed by a random GOTO" sounds like a realistic scenario software verificat

Did not know Patreon's tech was lock-in. I subscribe to a podcast on Spotify and they give you a private URL that you can feed to any app. If you are worried about malicious customers sharing the URL you may likely enable some form of

Patreon and Spotify already implement subscription-based podcasts, and I am positive they use RSS/Atom under the hood. So the tech is already out there, you just need to turn it into a self-hosted solution.

I recently started to look at this the other way around. A functional paradigm allows to describe very precisely what a function does through its type. In imperative languages, OTOH, the type signature of a function (which really should be

I agree that a) rejecting a paper that has been recommended for acceptance by _all_ reviewers (something that routinely happens in, say, NeurIPS) is nonsense. However, in-person conferences have physical limits. In the case of, again, NeurI

I don't know. Trinity might be a good starting point. Zork on the other hand is often suggested but I find it so annoying, if you don't solve a certain quest early you're automatically locked out of victory.

Yes, in the sense that they can be formalised as such. Given n tokens t1..tn, a transformer computes the probability p(t') that every token t' has of being the next. Each of these probabilities are arcs from a state t1..tn to anot

Okay but that is still not good copy. You always say your _new_ product is the best one yet (see Apple), you don't badmouth your old ones.

The "No bulky boxes. Just 3D presence." tagline must come from an LLM, right? Crazy they chose to go with such cheap copy for a 10kUSD-range product. I am not saying you must call in Don Draper for every single landing page or her

You can do this in Python, today. Whenever you need a package, just add its code in a directory under your project's root. And good luck.

Mozilla is in extremely dire straits right now, so unless this "lot of people" make a concerted donation effort to keep the lights on I would be hardly shocked by the sunsetting.

I can see the point, but repeating the same action for which you are currently being prosecuted will hardly improve your standing before the court. Quite the opposite, in fact.

A big advantage of QR code is that it's just a square, whereas URLs occupy short, wide rectangles of space. They are also robust to a number of situations where OCR may struggle: small size, low light, fading... And they are human-insp

`printf`/`str.format` are also prone to nasty failures: if you forget a variable (e.g., `str.format("{} {} {}", 0, 1)`), you only find out when you crash with an IndexError at runtime.
