Technically, "missing gravity". The mass is inferred, but not absolutely required. (Though it is by far the simplest explanation.)

As a person who finds CUDA extremely easy to write and integrate, what does Triton have to offer?

I had the same thought. Couple it with a source fuzzer to generate a large training dataset of valid source, and you could make a very nice disassembler.

Or maybe hardware overkill. I have a soft spot for small, dedicated computers like the Apollo Guidance Computer that have physical buttons and simple functionality. The DDIs on jet fighters are another example.

I find it hilarious that all the money pumped into Glassdoor has created less useful information about companies than the Better Business Bureau.

Yes, this would be fast assuming the vectors are pre-normalized, obviating the need to repeatedly calculate two square roots.

No, I have. I don't consider abuse of the format a problem with the format. Though I can see how having to delimit with special characters will help the type of person who writes print(','.join(stuff)).

One does not normally consider trigonometric functions fast to compute. Would you mind elaborating?

CSV is honestly not that problematic. Figuring out if an field contains and comma and then properly quoting it is trivial. And fields without commas don't need quoting. Sometimes your application even guarantees no commas, especially i

For years, it has been the case that, when booting up the Roku, the highlighted item would often be a link that would install an app. My kids have accidentally installed so many things. When I tried to remove YouTube, it suggested it below

Somewhere aliens are making fun of how shoddy our simulation is coded.

One generally accepted feature of life is maintaining a localized entropy anomaly, at the expense of dumping excess heat to an outside reservoir. There is no evidence that the Sun is doing anything like that. All of its MHD processes follow

Robert Forward wrote a series of sci-fi novels about life on the surface of a neutron star. The first was called Dragon's Egg [1] and is a decent, if tropey, read. Some of the same issues are addressed in his books, of course making a

Mathematically, yes. The probabilities involved are different, however.

Do you think tearing apart a working airplane and putting it back together in order to inspect it between every flight is a safe practice? Did you see the 737 door plug accident? You are missing part of the picture here. And that part is no

Doctors make mistakes. Procedures carry inherent risks, such as infection, allergies, blood clots, etc. Even driving to the doctor to discuss your blood glucose carries a risk of car accident. All of these are low probability events, but n

If you knew which signals were false positives, they'd be true negatives.

False positives in medicine can cause unnecessary interventions that carry their own risks. Believe it or not, there is an optimum level of ignorance for maximum health.

This is tangential, but that paper has some amazingly good plots for an ML paper.

Why?

Not the parent, but NNs typically work better when you can't linearize your data. For classification, that means a space in which hyperplanes separate classes, and for regression a space in which a linear approximation is good. For exa

Reading a book exercises a part of the brain that listening does not. And that same part of the brain, the quiet focus, is necessary to solve hard problems and reflect on your choices in life.

That's too early -- we'd have no reason to care about him by then. But that would work as the second scene potentially.

The Sci-Fi channel Children of Dune miniseries is highly underrated as well.
