There's been plenty of studies they measure bit flips in memory. If you really wanted to measure, you'd find them without much difficulty. Yes though, when you have gobs of memory, you're unlikely to see the effects of bit fl

I realize that it's easy to reach the forgone conclusion that yes, he's guilty and a criminal. You'd have to really tie yourself into knots to find out how he could be innocent. But our legal system still treats people not ye

I remember the hard part of the GREs for me was the essay section. Especially since in all my education, writing something short and concise being graded primarily on the prose and not the content was something that really didn't come

I'm confused why it matters. If I heat something with 2J of energy and it released 1J of energy, it's like the matter has been heated with 3J of energy. If I can extract heat energy with 80% efficiency, I can extract 2.4J, more en

They lasers are about 1% efficient. The actual energy required is hundreds of MJ.

I'm fully willing to pile on, but I don't know that it's an example of a policy violation. It's linking to things people are doing on TikTok, not promoting a specific account or TikTok itself.

I think we've come to accept the externalities of wind and solar (land area, visual changes to landscape, etc) because the costs of those externalities are so much less than the alternatives. They still exist though. Fusion is probably

I found the default jump table implementation to be quite costly when using something with a very small flash size such as the attiny10. Luckily gcc now has goto label support for inline assembly. https://gist.github.com/rus

I fully support such communications from the government entities being made public to the full extent possible, just as with DMCA requests. But just take a step back for a second. Are you arguing that the FBI headed by a Trump appointee str

My personal favorite is a screenplay of a scientist named Jim who has invented an AI named Hal. Queries with "Jim:" are directed to the AI. Without are "facts" that can be used to modify capabilities and rules. They are

People are angry and they aren't seeing the immediate consequences they want. It's not just an SBF thing though, I suspect that various police dramas have given people a very skewed view.
