MacOS user: what's a driver ? Seriously though, one of the pleasurable things about using macOS is that you don't have to worry about hardware compatibility. Because there is none, outside the small list of parts officially suppor

Even this restriction costs them money, as the advertisers have either worse targeting, so lower ROI, so they'll spend less, or they'll have to do the targeting work themselves, which removes part of the value chain from Google, s

This is strictly about the win32 GUI API. There are other win32 APIs that are quite interesting: * the networking API (native proactor servers, something that Linux doesn't have yet AFAIK) * the security and process API, which I had th

An example given in this thread was that current Passivhaus practices specify that embodied energy (one time energy cost that goes into the materials and the construction) be no larger than 50 years of operating energy costs. Stricter ener

Oh, an enterprising prosecutor could subpoena his way to the foreign buyer of the number, but it's sooo much work for such a little scam. The prosecutors, like everyone else, have to optimize their return on effort.

It's all fun and games until you get a GDP drop. For the areas affected, 3 day = 1% of yearly GDP drop. But don't forget the knock-on effects.

You should do customer development and find people willing to pay for your product. If they're willing to pay, they'll even tell you why they can't use the open source tool.

This is great work, I could not believe the fact that it keeps state (like the current epoch number, and of course all the current model state). Makes Python even more dynamic. Nice that you could condense it to less than 100 lines of Pytho

His point is that coal costs are just as high, if not higher, but we prefer not to think about them that way because it makes us uncomfortable. Just have your pick of examples of this thinking among the comments containing "uncomfortab

Batching just uses hardware capabilities efficiently. Either vector instructions in CPUs or batch capabilities in GPUs. For the same hardware load, you can process several samples instead of just one. Pre-computation means running your mode

That's basically mesh opaque to visible wavelengths. The effect would be that you can't observe limb or limb part movement inside the skirt, but only how they move and deform the skirt volume. I think that's still enough, giv

If you sew metallic mesh that's reflecting at WiFi frequencies in the skirt, yeah, that should hide some of the gait.

Its neighbour to the north, Romania, may be in a similar situation, for the same reasons. It lost 6 million people since 1990, with several million each living in Spain and Italy.

We actually don't know if a modern economy can give up on using fossil fuels. It's a hypothesis we're currently testing and hoping it will hold.

This is a cool example of an ML project accessible to hackers. Furthermore, it offers the way to combine SDR and ML for automated, almost industrialized attacks. Now you have a repeatable pipeline that works for many models of target device

At a maximum 5% increase per year, it takes 37 years for a $500 unit to catch up to the $3000 market price. So this law doesn't help that much with that particular case.
