Yeah, but you would need to run an API server in each of those to reach that latency, and even then you're well into eventually-consistent distributed system headache if you accept the POST without synchronising with all the others fir

The last '.' is essentially the equivalent of the first '/' in a file path: it refers to the root of the DNS and marks it as an absolute name (otherwise, in principle, it could be treated as relative even though it

Also, four points of failure isn't a particularly enticing feature for an already slightly terrifying aircraft if you're actually going to be in it.

>more than 95% of my returns are from just a small handful of individual stocks Yeah, but did you know which ones from the start? The whole point of index funds or diversification in general is that you don't.

Yes, this is often wildly overstated. Executives and managers have a pretty broad leeway to run the company how they want, and while shareholders can in principle replace them or sue them, it is pretty rare for them to be particularly activ

Well, when there are formal notice periods, you do generally get paid for the notice period, even if you're not working it.

It seems like Google culturally can't deal with products that aren't overwhelming, gigantic successes, but they also really struggle to put in the effort to actually create those. Multiple times they have spent a lot of resources

How could writing code possibly cost that much? And yet tech companies spend significantly more than that per year on it. You need a lot of highly paid, experienced people to do it (negotiating regulatory frameworks is pretty much its own p

Linear no-threshold and ALARA are pretty objectively overly conservative, to the point of potentially doing more harm than good (Fukushima is mentioned down below. More people died as a result of the evacuation than would have resulted from

It is worth thinking about, when you're buying something, how much of what you're paying is the supplier's margin. And whether they have efficiency advantages over you doing it yourself. But for large LLMs it does seem like t

Sure, for integration with some specific hardware, there may be some limits (though I would ask if that could be simulated for most testing, or if multiple could be made available). But it's a goal that should be aimed for and is achie

Can QA not do the same thing?

IMO having a test environment is a bit of a failure: you should be able to spin up and stop a full test environment easily, ideally (and feasibly for most systems) on the developer's local machine.

Most PKGBUILDS are stupidly simple, they're probably easier to read than a set of tool calls. See this for a randomly picked recently updated example: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?

It is a reasonable strategy if you have some non-intermittent generation that is significantly more economical than the other options. It's not a requirement for all grids in all technological contexts.

I mean, Scotland has more wind power than it can use (or transfer to England) at the moment, so solar is probably not the main focus. The price of nuclear plants also means you can afford to overbuild renewables by quite a lot to make up fo

by rcxdude 3mo ago
Yeah, nuclear wants storage (or gas peakers) just as much as renewables do.
351.
by rcxdude 3mo ago
The largest build-out, which is in renewables, features plants that can go up very quickly, at least. The grid upgrades are the bigger bottleneck.

I would appreciate this as well, TBH. Window's handling of remote desktop has been well ahead of linux's for a long time, but there's an irritating artificial limit of one active user on most versions of windows. Last I looke

It depends on the DE and the application to some extent. The touch events are seperate to mouse events and the mouse cursor moving, but AFAIK usually there is an emulation layer for compatibility with applications that don't support to

Also, wouldn't normalisation tend to produce a mean of zero in the weights, anyhow?

I get the impression they are getting less viable because the extra cost and maintenance outweighs just putting more panels down. There are some calculations that suggest even mounting them on angled frames might not be worth the cost, depe

Re: the slightly strange shape of the curve. The drop at the beginning could be due to the matching between the panels getting worse. Solar panels in a bank don't like being in different conditions. As a rule of thumb they will all per
