Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all kinds of UTF, including 16 and 32, support arbitrary length for a single effective character. This would be because you can stack modifications as long as you like.

By being the first to offer a convenient solution, and pushing it heavily with ads and subsidies, I suppose. Then economy of scale kicks in and you're set.

Just one example: Facebook is mandatory for school/university in large parts of Asia. You cannot trivially block them. They should be considered an utility.

> Or are these TVs auto connecting open WiFi or the neighbor’s Xfinity WiFi? Yup. How does that make you feel? Because for me, it was the moment when the border to not only blatantly, but also actively evil was passed.

You'll be delighted to learn that this exact reasoning had, in fact, been used by the copyright industry against (illegal) movie streaming websites. If I remember correctly, this was in Germany and was, after a relatively short time, n

It is simply unethical, period. Knowing that a solution exists is a gigantic advantage when working on a solution. Normally, noone can abuse the knowledge fast enough to gain an advantage, but here, they could. This is fraud and as a journa

No, the parent is exactly right. I've seen it countless times and I am so sick of it. The poor, poor CEO has to be evil, it is his duty.

Depends on where you put the perfect play ceiling. I think each side has good points in their respective favor. There have been strong pushes by both humans and computers in improving their best play in the past few years. A 2 stone handica

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to name the source on this here, but someone very familiar with the top Go program scene explained that there is a fair chance that a perfect game has been played already. This is based on the probabili

If I remember the numbers correctly, your setup seems to be wrong if you only get 1.4k e/s with 4x 3090. What network did you use?

AlphaGo is a bit difficult to compare because their parallelism efficiency was abysmal. You might as well consider it a regular 8x or so GPU machine.

The tree search in KataGo does not use Monte Carlo simulations at all. It is purely policy/value network based, and works insanely well indeed.

I've not looked at the specific game in question, but in general, doubling the thinking time leads to a very notable strength improvement regardless of the base level of play. The increase becomes slightly smaller at higher levels but

In Go, we had an extensive documentary on this, based on the strange case of a man possessed by the spirit of an ancient master Go player. I'm not going to spoil the results here; it's an enjoyable series and includes many small i

His chain of thought has a length not beyond his nose. It's typical for dementia, and I have to see it all the time with my parent. Only the very last sentence is kept in mind, all other context is mostly gone. I wish a reporter would

This is not the job of the postal service, but of the government. There is zero reason to outsource verification, and the postal service ought to vehemently reject this attempt to shift responsibility. Though I guess they won't, seeing

To my own surprise, I think that the nouns are less interchangable than the verbs. The verbs are way more commonly interchanged, even in my native language. Curious!

ESL here. To me, there is a very clear distinction between these terms, which also applies in my native language: A thiefs tries to steal without you noticing, a burglar is a thief that additionally enters a building, and a robber in contra

Not a player myself, but I recall there were some articles about a player organization that helped people who were stranded, or something along these lines. It sounded quite wholesome and fun.

I built a dual epyc server with 64 cores and 1 TB of DDR4. Draws around 800W or so under load. I used off the shelf liquid cooling. It is audible but not noisy. The trick is to turn on the cooler's RGB in your 6000€ server to get a fre

In the case of antifa, the content and the label are congruent. They are, literally and practically, anti fascist. That's not the case for the NSDAP.

Do messages have a visible receiver address of any kind? In that case, you're out of luck. The only way to do make this statistically sound would involve an insane amount of messages, rendering it impossible.

Sounds to me like you would hire 20 barely-paid interns instead of 2 competent programmers.

It's better than the alternative. Don't complain about someone offering an imperfect improvment, if you don't have something even better to offer.

You don't need to block the airway. Air and sound move differently, so you absorb on paths that sounds likes to travel and minimize obstruction on the air path. Something akin to a Tesla valve. I'm willing to bet that you can make
