Wouldn't that require also including the hash of every dynamic library in the system, the environment variables, configs etc, as all that can affect the resulting file ?

I certainly liked that the added the problematic query to the list of tests, which I think is a healthy sign.

Yes, that was a surprising requirement when submitting a bug report. (I understand patches may need to be like that due to copyright issues)

I was/am a fan of duckdb, but I recently discovered a bug in 0.9.1 where a fairly innocuous query was silently returning wrong results (issue 9399 on github). That made me much less confident about duckdb and how well tested it is. May

It is a pretty cool result. Basically the lay summary (from my understanding) is that a multivariate function with n-arguments can be perfectly represented by a network with 2 hidden layers (one having width n and another width 2n) and two

Thank you for providing the links, but I don't buy that. The first link cites three papers: Almasoud, S., & Fowler, S. R. (2016). The difference in the academic achievements of homeschooled and non-homeschooled students. Home Scho

Most of mass estimates of the MW in the outskirts come from measuring motions of stars (just not in the disk of the MW) dwarf galaxies, globular clusters or stellar streams. These measurements have their own issues, but now many of these m

This observation clearly contradicts multiple other measurements of the MW mass which is not really explained. Given quite a complex set of assumptions that went into this particular derivation, I am personally quite sceptical about this me

Yes, I had the same issue previously. It was constant mixing between flat 1 building 2, vs flat 2 building 1 (2/1 vs 1/2). I think trying to be explicit 'Flat N, M X street' helps instead of using the A/B notation.

I was about to believe the results as they caution that it's only showing the benefits for northern countries like UK and they control for exercise, but then I saw in the paper that they characterize 'sun-seeking behaviour' v

My opinion (which partially matches what the article says). * The country chose austerity at the time of negligible interest rates. They should have used that to make infrastructure reforms. * The austerity not only prevented infrastructure

I think you can now disable algorithmic feed, which was my main gripe as well. But the lack of website is still a show-stopper for me.

Many here already pointed at the fact that likely P(buying mattress in the future|googled mattress) is much higher than P(buying mattress in the future) thus for an advertiser with a finite budget it makes perfect sense to target users who

It was on time, because they forced it on us before it could actually work. Regarding on budget that's not really true anymore as: "The institution has confirmed implementation partner Inoapps and software company Oracle will see

Do you think that the average temperature is calculated by averaging across weather stations ?

I am personally not switching to passkeys unless I see a clear description of all possible failure modes. I.e. Google blocks you, you loose your phone, you want to migrate from one provider to another, when passkeys offer more security and

Also because just this year broadband companies raised the prices by inflation + several percents. I.e. my monthly bill increased by > 10 quid. And in the same time I'm in a contract (till the end of the year), so I can't even

I can certainly understand that maybe the salaries should not be claimed back, for for sure the bonuses must be given under some condition that if the bank/company fails within X years of receiving it, the bonuses should be returned in

I absolutely agree. Probabilistic statements are fine and useful. Assumptions X equals Y in speech probably not. How to exactly address this is not quite clear, that's why I thought the article was quite interesting. (and obviously fix

It isn't wrong to assume that strongest human are men, but I would argue it is not right to assume a professor is a man, Nobel Laureate is a man, nurse is a woman and so forth. I don't think it is very high in the list of prioriti

I wonder what are the local climate effects of fully covering the desert by solar panels (that's not exactly what will happen here but still). Presumably the temperature will be reduced, but I wonder if it's possible to use this t
