Not sure if this is that good of a metric given that I've read before that in recent history, precious metals have much higher demand where there is crisis and instability - and 1944 is certainly one of the peaks for that. I guess sinc

It's "Elo", not "ELO" (it's not an acronym).

I was flying to Mexico recently (from Germany), and went for a $100 more expensive flight just to avoid taking a Air Canada leg (on a 737 MAX).

I was playing a bit with embeddings in 2021. I'd played codenames online with friends in lockdown and we often had interesting boards we'd talk about, so when I saw papers like this ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2105

That approach works well for a game like [Codewords]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codenames_(board_game) ) where you're trying to find a single-word common hint between many of your words (that doesn't hit an

Would you use Chinese remainder theory on all possible configurations of the cycles, or something else completely?

by noxvilleza 3y ago
I haven't spent that much time thinking about it, but my guess is that there may or may not be: * a "tail" -- some initial part of the path before you get into a true cycle (like the 002, 004 in the example above) * an inner

So in Question 8 part 2 you had multiple cycles through a graph. You started on all "A" nodes and you had to find the first time at which you were entirely on "Z" nodes. The intended solution was seemingly to calculate t

The same is true with part 2 of problem 8 and problem 21 which both are generally much harder problems which are made easier by carefully constructed test cases. I also find it somewhat annoying, but par for the course with advent given the

One thing to note is that periodicity need not all be prime numbers, so you can't always find the product of their periods -- you might need to find their LCM.

This wasn't some new policy of Lufthansa though, apparently it's their SOP for basically all airports. Outside the US, I'm not sure if visual approaches are all that common for (heavy) aircraft at night. Overall, the reason t

I've used it with Forza, Ride, and some emulated games and it's been great for me.

I use mine docked almost exclusively, the only thing I do is (funnily enough) stop Steam since it uses quite a chunk of RAM which I'd rather have for more Chrome tabs.

You could use the Steam Deck, and for more demanding games you can use Steam Remote Play from your main PC (it's great!).

They said the Steam Deck 2 will likely appear in 2-3 years time in this interview: https://www.polygon.com/23951070/steam-deck-2-valve-intervie...

Gotcha, so if there was a big update during a party you'd have to either let everyone update themselves; or delete their overlays, download the update to the primary, and then make new CoW overlays for everyone.

Do you run your own Steam content caching server, or do weekly Steam Backups to have local kinda-recent images of the bigger games (or do you just download it fresh post-wipes)?

Most of the pros stuck with 1.6 instead of moving to Source (and most existing tournaments stuck on 1.6 - although notably CGS went with CS:S). In Source the movement was clunky, the sound system was awful, and the shooting & spray felt

Seen a few Youtube videos on Brooklyn Seltzer Boys over the years, found them pretty interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agAkMbk20y4 (for example).
