There are other sources on the record, but they contradict Musk's claim. Block quote from an Ars Technica article[1]: Some activists who attended the meeting tweeted to confirm that they never made such a deal with Musk, including Fre

I use the the bookmarklet ( https://pinboard.in/howto/#saving ) and save one page at a time. It only takes a moment so I've never felt the need to automate it, but I'm sure one could.

Forget the "social." Pinboard's utility is that it's a website that privately stores all my bookmarks, so I can access them on any computer. You can add tags to help you organize your bookmarks, plaintext notes or desc

My story? 10x developers don't exist. I've worked with incredibly smart people -- geniuses, even -- who contributed ideas and value that I never could, but they weren't "worth" or performing at 10 times the rate of

NVIDIA has a large autonomous vehicle software team and releases public products (such as Driveworks: https://developer.nvidia.com/drive/driveworks ) as well as custom products for specific clients.

Swap out NVIDIA for Netflix and you can still have AANG. And then the fire nation attacks.

Florida is the first-order loser here. They now have to pay for services like fire and road maintenance that Reedy Creek used to cover. Orange County (which along with Osceola is one of the two most affected) will see its taxes rise as much

The performance advantages of transformer architectures have little to do with "transformers" themselves, but rather other architecture changes that were made along the way. They can be matched or beat in performance by tweaked co

There were 2000+ COVID deaths a day for months. At its worst (January 2021) the US was seeing nearly 4000 COVID deaths a day.

You're almost certainly mistaken. An employment contract is a very specific legal document that ensures certain rights (including pay) and obligations. You (almost certainly) do not have a contract, you work "at will." Your

Very few workers in the U.S. have actual employment contracts. If you work in the tech sector in the U.S. you almost certainly don't. Instead, your employment is "at-will"; i.e. terminable by either party, with or without ca

That's a well-known aspect of "expert" level chess player thinking! There's a famous experiment that demonstrated this. Researchers briefly showed set-up chess boards to novices (little to no chess experience) and expe

You're far too pessimistic (or maybe you don't know the field well). The problem of estimating the relative poses of the cameras responsible for a set of photos is a long standing and essentially "solved" problem in c

You don't even need anything that fancy. Traditional structure-from-motion, or visual odometry gives accurate enough position estimations. If you want to experiment, take a bunch (~100) of photos of an object, and use COLMAP to generat

If you installed the drivers using the PPAs, you can't then update using the NVIDIA-provided binaries without doing a very thorough purge, including deleting all dependent installs (CUDNN, CUBLAS, etc.) I highly recommend sticking with

Those suburbanites were probably doing some variation of coppicing their trees, to keep them stunted and bushy for aesthetics. I lived in San Francisco, too, and helped to plant dozens of trees with FUF ( https://www.fuf.net/

You're probably correct. GPL is (unreasonably) radioactive to many companies.

The law includes language that says an employer must make a “good faith” determination of the lowest and highest salary it would pay for that position. However, the law itself law does not define what “salary” is; presumably that definitio

The purpose of that step is exactly the opposite: to use data that represents (as much as possible) the full generality of the space you seek to model. And on a more practical level, there are datasets that can't be used for commercia

Are you sure? I have a 4th gen iPad (A1460) and it's stuck forever at iOS 10.3.4, so I imagine an older one would also be end-of-lifed.
