Everyone forgets about Hydro. Not only can it be a great source of baseload power, but it can also be turned on and off very rapidly to provide peeking capacity. Pairs very nicely with Wind and Solar if your country has the right terrain fo

They are theoretical money that might become real money in the future. They don't cost the government anything unless a power plant fails and defaults on it's loans. And even the it's not the full $40 billion. Just the shor

ARMv8-A (aka 64bit ARM) is a completely different instruction set, with basically zero relation to the instruction encoding of 32bit ARM. They redesigned it from scratch. And it's an instruction set designed for high-performance applic

The government isn't paying to build it. They are only providing loan guarantees, not actual money. And they only have to pay to shut it down if a future government forces it to shut it down before the plant stops being commercially vi

First, the inverse square root function is not high entropy. At worst it's only medium entropy. Second, it's like the complete opposite of "one-off". It's a block of code that has been copy/pasted into so many

Probably not valid. With the way machine learning networks work, they don't really learn one-off high-entropy strings like API keys. The weights powering the models are only so big, there simply isn't enough memory to waste storin

It's most likely a hardware availablity issue. They have run out of sensors, and they don't want to pause production until they have produced more.

Keep in mind, that's actually the wrong question. The correct question is: Does Putin think that people who he things might stage a coup might be taking the Nordstream pipeline into account. We are so many levels deep with this line of

It's certainly possible. But Putin has been operating with good internal logic this entire time (even if the assumptions driving that logic have been flawed at points). And I'm not really sure what logic would cause him to attack

It makes sense to stop selling gas to the EU, but Russia already did that weeks ago. What makes little sense is then blowing up the pipeline. Russia were already not selling gas, why would they take the extra step of blowing up the pipeline

I wonder how much of that 59% gain comes from the 512bit registers/instructions themselves, and how much comes from the new instructions and modes that come with AVX-512, and can still be used with the narrower 256bit and 128bit regist

Government ownership/operation is rarely a problem by itself. With the right management structures and incentives, they can be as productive and efficient as privately run businesses. In some examples, they can actually out-preform p

The problem with that plan is convincing someone to be interested enough to actually take the subsidy. In this example, the old owners were retiring, and nobody wanted to buy it. There isn't a lot of revenue for a Grocery store in a to

Not quite what you want, but Michael Abrash’s Graphics Programming Black Book is available for free online, and covers the software rendering side of computer graphics in the early-mid 90s, ending at Quake, just before 3d accelerators hit t

There isn't really a "concession" you could give that would make Putin happy. Whatever you give Putin, he will want more. You could give them all of Ukraine, and Putin would start plotting his next invasion on whatever countr

Surely you don't need to? Just over-expand the mask and let stable diffusion decide what it's going to keep and what it's going to replace.

It might not be quite correct to describe it as the final nail in the coffin, but it absolutely was the killing blow. Flash had been on shaky grounds for years. It was obvious that it had a limited lifespan, and that it eventually needed to

The article is wrong, Apple don't really use ARM's Cortex cores within the M1 They already have a their own custom low-power arm64 core design for running these firmware tasks. They have about a dozen of them scattered around the

Yes, ultimately it's just a really good statistical model. But it does a really good job, and it's not just matching code it's seen before. You can use any variable name. You can do this in a weird programming language which

What's worse, is that if you make a mistake in the code leading up to it's completion (even one picked up by Intellisense), Copilot will now assume that you actually wanted the mistakes, and it's autocompletion will give you
