You're right, though tolerances allow for up 253V since 2009. I usually measure between 235V and 242V from the wall.

Right. I forgot about direct imaging. I'm not as optimistic about future telescopes, though. If projects like the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope or the (now cancelled) Terrestrial Planet Finder are anything to go by. Despite receivi

The results look very impressive. The prompting however, is a bit weird - there's suspiciously many samples with an "8k"-suffix, presumably to get more photorealistic results? I really don't like that kind of stuff, when

Ok. How about something more constructive then. One of my concerns with generative AI is that it will be abused for both content spamming and misinformation. In order to superficially test what current common implementations of LLMs do abou

Just curious: how would that help exactly? So far we can get two relevant data points for exoplanets: mass or if we're lucky size and maybe spectra. That's one Uranus size, one Uranus mass and the atmospheric spectrum of Uranus. S

It's not the solution (plus they have an "aware"-mode that doesn't shut you off completely), it's a possible solution and a rather simple and cheap one at that. Depending on the circumstances it isn't alway

The article oversimplifies things a little, IMHO. It's not the open floor plan office that's the main cause of the problem for DnD type work, nor are offices with doors a general solution. It's all about policy. A separate of

The original source features a frametime-based rating as well. Surprise, surprise, Windows 11 and Arch are both identical in terms of performance, while Pop!OS and Nobara are about 9% behind.

Funny. I have the exact opposite experience. Type hints tell me what the code actually does and what kind of arguments functions and methods actually expect. It's all sunshine and rainbows if you work with well documented libraries, bu

I wouldn't think so. The difference is that in the past 200 years we've used actual experiments to confirm or falsify our models. There's a stark difference between coming up with an an hypothesis and just roll with it and sc

Regulation for non-profits in Germany doesn't prevent employees from being paid competitive salaries for comparable positions. So if the average salary for a given position is about 100k€, nothing would be stopping a non-profit from pa

I think you are confusing the Sumerians with the Hebrews here. It was the Sumerians who have the oldest documented reference to a 7-day week, not the jews.

What does that have to do with incompetence, though? Incompetence would imply that the feature either didn't work or broke things, which it didn't. It triggered a very specific anti-cheat mechanisms of one specific and relatively

Why doesn't there need to be a why? Outside of art (and even there I'm not sure), there's always a reason - especially if we are talking about an advanced civilisation. There's also no reason to believe this hasn't

Well, there are a couple of problems with that. The god-like alien hypothesis is basically useless, as they would have no interest in us and would be undetectable anyway. The exploring civilisation falls into a similar category: if they are

Why, though? I hear this argument a lot, but never ever is it backed up by actual facts aside from assumptions (i.e. that technological civilisation build Von Neumann probes in the first place). So first question: why even Von Neumann probe

The paper actually lays it out pretty clearly. Yes, you can just pipe 16kHz audio into a tokenizer, which is exactly what they did (kind of). They just treat the input as 8-bit ASCII (which in itself is technically not a thing, since ASCII

What's the difference between 0x2e and .? You can easily transform between representations of data, be that text or binary in any encoding you'd like. The model input token vector (or LUT index) is still the same. I don't see

There's two types of game developers: those who finish and publish games and those who write their own game engine. Every minute spent on re-inventing the wheel for the umpteenth time is time lost on actually writing and polishing the

Incidentally, this also causes the tidal effects to weaken to a point where calculations show that tidal locking will actually never happen.
