When profiling slow queries/code I often collect the elapsed time of a test where I take 5-10 runs and calculate the mean/average, standard deiviation, min, and max. As well as using line charts on the average, I've used a bo

The unrealistic squares issue could be resolved by using legal moves for the piece. You could then evaluate the best for 1 move, 2 moves, up to e.g. 4 moves. You could also eliminate moves that visit a square already reached by a previous

That was my point, though. Don't worry about minor possible changes to the code where the performance doesn't matter. For example, if the ++i/i++ is only ever executed at most 10 times in a loop, is on an integer (where the c

Premature optimization is about not making a micro-implementation change (e.g. `++i` vs `i++`) for the sake of percieved performance. You should always measure to identify slow points in expected workloads, profile to identify the actual sl

I recall some Minecraft tests being saved worlds with redstone logic that will light a beacon green if it is working or red if not. That's usefull for games like that. For games like Starcraft 2 with replay functionality, you could pro

January -- The item for January is ‘0’ = 0 February, March -- The item ... for February or March (the 3rd month), ‘3’ = 3 December -- The item ... for December (the 12th month), ’12.’ So these all use fixed values. The `(10-place)+days mod

From the TinyStories dataset card [1] the dataset is generated by GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. Reading the discussions in the community tab [2] it looks like there are a lot of incomplete or misspelled words, incorrect grammar, and even Chinese chara

Starting with a 0 dimensional (0D) point: 1. create a copy of the point and move it a fixed distance along a specific direction (which we will call the X-axis) and join the two points together -- this is a 1D line; 2. create a copy of the l

For language: 1. `getLanguage` should return the 2-letter ISO 3166-1 language code, or an empty string if missing. -- e.g. en, ru, fr, etc. 2. `getISO3Language` should return the 3-letter ISO 3166-1 language code, or an empty string if miss

I signed up for a trial for WoW back in the day. It was about 3 seasons in, and the way the install worked was that you had to download and install each update separately, each of which was 2-3 GB each. I was using a slow dial-up at the tim

I've experienced LLMs forgetting details (no memory). This is expecially a problem when the information is out of the context window, but I've seen it in other cases as well. I've experienced LLMs lacking spatial awareness, s

IIUC, it's trained on LibriVox audio mainly, along with a few other sources. I'm not sure how it is handling spelling as the spelling will depend on the source content being read, unless the source text has been processed/edi

Isn't the issue more that traditional ASR systems use US (General American) phonetic transcriptions so then struggle with accents that have different splits and mergers? My understanding on whisper is that it is using a model trained o

The default voice sounds robotic for several reasons. It has a low sample rate to conserve space. It is built using a mix of techniques that make it difficult to reconstruct the original waveform exactly. And it uses things like artificial

That's effectively what eSpeak-ng is doing. For the CMU flite voices they represent the data as LPC (linear predictive coding) data with residual remainder (residual excited LPC). The HTS models use simple neural networks to predict th

The parent mentioned avoiding the dispatch of a virtual function call used to evaluate the AST/bytecode so I was assuming it was a minimal JIT instead of running the resulting bytecode in an interprative loop. But yes, if you are inter

by rhdunn 2y ago
Which is why JavaScript engines (and JIT compilers for other languages) are typically designed to: 1. start interpreting the code once it has been parsed, and start jitting a function being called; 2. generate naive bytecode for the functi

by rhdunn 2y ago
Another advantage to that is that it avoids the branching of the while loop in the interpreter that iterates over the AST, providing better instruction pipelining with having all the run code next to each other. The downside -- especially f

Ah, ok. I wasn't able to get the last row working right with flex, but didn't experiment too much as the CSS grid approach worked. You could look through the other answers in that StackOverflow question.

No, just: main.books { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, 180px); grid-gap: 1rem; justify-content: space-between; } That will make the child items 180px wide, repeat as many

CSS grid makes it possible to implement wrapped content that is uniformally aligned with the last row keeping the same number of columns as the others, and have that scale correctly to different page widths. This is useful in things like bo

Thanks. At the moment forgejo does not have features I'm interested in as I'm not making my internal gitea instance public. However, I'd be interested in it if it provides support for things like hierarchical project grouping

I'm using Gitea locally. I haven't come across forgejo before. It seems to be forked on the basis of providing a fully open source solution (it states that some Gitea enterprise features are not present). Do you know what the main

You can say the same thing about Patreon, donations, etc. Sure, you don't have to pay to watch them but its a way of giving back to them. And on platforms like twitch, being subscribed to a channel does things like remove ads and acces

by rhdunn 3y ago
Yeah. That's something you would expect databases to be good at. Expecially as normalization and many-to-many relationships make multiple JOINs common, which was my point.

by rhdunn 3y ago
Doesn't that happen when you use a highly normalized database table design, though where you create tables to avoid repeating data? Or if you have a lot of 1/many to many relationships in mapping tables. I.e. you'll end up wi
