Not living in US so it's fun to see people poking at big corporations like the mouse-and-cat chase of ad-blockers and anti-ad-blockers. Unfortunately, in the end, it is usually the big companies that have both the moral and technical h

The US reports GDP growth as annualized growth rate, which is the annual rate that would occur if the QoQ rate is maintained for a full year. To get the QoQ rate, we need to roughly divide the rate by 4 (not exact but not far off). This m

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but how on earth did the EU pass a regulation[0] with such far-reaching implications? First Apple opening up to third-party app stores and RCS, now Microsoft giving users a bit more leeway. How come none of

FWIW, the current king of single core Geekbench is the M3 chips. Even the base M3 scores as high as the i9-14900K and higher than the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, at less than half their TDPs.

The restriction is that it requires an activation function depending on the function it is approximating. Hence, if you want the NN to emulate an uncomputable function, the activation function probably has to be uncomputable as well.
