How do you even create an object without any vertex data? The texture has to be stretched over something . Is this something just the center point of the object?

It's called swap.

My point is not that there are no insights coming from SUAC, but rather that explanations are not a required thing of science, because predictions work without them, and the accuracy of predictions, and making new predictions makes science
246.
by rhn_mk1 4y ago
A hypothesis is not necessarily an explanation. There are fields of science where you "shut up and calculate" to get the prediction rather than try to interpret and explain.

The second halves of your sentences are easy to verify to be true. But how do you go from them to the first halves? Naively, the assertions about capacities presented here contradict the observations about the outputs.

You don't need to encrypt anything to verify those images, you just need to sign them. See how Heads does this. https://github.com/osresearch/heads

Repeat after me: ZRAM is not swap. ZRAM uses the same OS interface as swap does, and that interface is called "swap" but really is more about composing system memory out of tiered backing memory. One of those tiers can be swap. Wi

How do you know if you're willing to read a book multiple times before, you know, getting acquainted with it by reading it? Do you have a 100% accurate method to ensure you never ever start reading something not-awesome?

Is this a problem on the gender axis? Or is it a problem across the board? It's entirely unclear, and it'd be a mistake to conclude that women get penalized [while men do not]. > The survey was sent to contacts in Women of Infl

IIRC some Retina displays use fractional scaling like 2.1. I can't find any confirmation though.

Except in games, where it seems common to run games at resolutions other than native, which means that you have a choice between some pixels being different shape than others (nearest-neighbor) or even overlapping (interpolated). And when y

Let me alter this a bit: "So if you argue that we can use a human to make a fact checker then I agree. It is unclear how accurate they would be, but at least then we have someone that tries to evaluate truthiness. But the human itself

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
You're conflating what ChatGPT does with fact checking. It's as much a fact checker as a human is a fact checker. It's not their purpose to be either a grammar checker or a fact checker, so you can't make assumptions abo

I don't mean that fact checking correlates to structure. I mean that there is no definition of "structure" I can think of that is not entirely dictated by facts (knowledge/training data). Grammatical structure is stretch

> factful texts That might be the problem here. Humans can't agree on facts apart from some very basic ones, so I'd argue we don't have truly "factful texts" at all. We have our own definitions of truth, and they

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
This is why the difference between "truth" and "grammar" is relevant: because if they are instances of the same thing, then processing one is equivalent to processing the other. Thus, if we can find a way to move from &q

Well, it's a shame, because I thought you were really on to something. No, I don't see a qualitative difference. There is a huge quantitative difference because the facts that describe the world overwhelm the facts that make up la

The difference between spell checking and fact checking is in what you're checking against: the facts of grammar or the facts of the world. I don't see any qualitative difference between them. The data is facts, the output is eith

What does a model of truth imply then? The ability to perfectly classify a statement between "truth" and "lie"? If so, then it's not needed for thinking, because humans can't do that, either. The only definitio

The solid way to do it is to have a backup, like another second factor enrolled and stored in a safe place. Or to have recovery codes. Without those options, now that you lost the only second factor, you have to reach out and convince the s

How much could the rights to a game like that cost? Depending on whether it's in range of the average person's disposable income, this could be a cool thing to do as a preservationist.

That's what LLVM is today, but IIRC their goals were the same. It might be worth it to look at what made it turn away from the minimal idea and into the heavyweight that it is now.
