The question is why is the embryo not “fit enough”. One way to increase the chance of success is by making the embryo “more fit”, but that requires an understanding of what that definition of fitness is, and that is what I understand this s

I think the SE thread mentions that he’s paid by the hour. Which for someone like Bob is quite a poor way to manage them!

Interesting! Thank you... I was trying to divide an area by a smaller area to get the number of widgets, and it insists on making that into a percentage. Is there a way to make it report a raw number instead of percentages when the two quan

That’s more like statistical inference, applying insights from known languages to it. It’s not really ML. Also, it can give you some broad clues, but decipherment is still a massive leap.

Of course it is! Look at fairy tales, Robin Hood stories or Aesop's fables. Not every adaptation is good, but every now and then, you end up with a classic. What's annoying is how often companies like Disney take a public domain w

Actually what's to blame for Bitcoin's high price is the finite supply of Bitcoin, and the fact that there's wild speculation on its price (which incidentally is what makes it really horrible as a currency, but that's an

And I've been involved in a project that's making heavy use of Bluespec: https://github.com/B-Lang-org/bsc/ Same problem though - you have to transpile it down to Verilog to use it in anything beyond a

Agreed. There are lots of downstream applications where these could do a lot. I just meant, GP's point doesn't add up.

These are 1-2k LUT devices. Even the smallest Spartan - XC7S6 - is 6K LUTs. It's not enough to even mildly inconvenience the leaders.

There’s a difference between MyBook and MyBook Live. The Live version (this article) is ONLY accessible over the cloud service for some reason. Even if you’re on the same LAN there’s no SMB, FTP or anything else. Only the cloud connection.

All other things aside, Modi’s first term started in 2014, Trump’s in 2016. Even assuming that one is similar to the other, it raises the question of who’s following whom...

I'm thinking of small prototypes or production runs of one or two pieces - had a situation last year when we needed to interface between a TCP connection on one side and a 12V trigger signal on the other - just a microcontroller with a

Question for anyone familiar with this: which CNCs work well with this?

by shash 5y ago
Me too, but this is interesting in and of itself. This could make a lot of small-scale prototyping projects that much easier - no messing around with Ferric Chloride and acetone, and no waiting for the PCB to be manufactured and sent back.

Also, this wasn’t a vulnerability found in existing code that was disclosed. This was an attempt to introduce several of them in the form of innocent looking commits. I don’t think the free vs commercial aspect is the main issue here; lots

However, when a vulnerability is found, you would expect that the path by which that vulnerability was introduced would be shut off, right? In this case, what they’ve done is to revert all patches from this group, pending further review,

The latest patch adds a null check around a call to gss_release_msg. The commit message says “ The patch adds a check to avoid a potential double free.” According to other people in the conversation, this is already taken care of by referen

APS-C might be a tough ask, but something like this[1] or this[2] might work - smaller sensor but at least you won’t get a ridiculous crop factor on APS-C lenses. The second one says it’s format is APS-like. But I’d say an RPi alone would b

Most of that isn't lack of power per se, but T&D problems. Generation is usually enough to meet the demand.

Yes, the full study explains a lot. I don’t think they can come to the conclusion that “increased nighttime sleep had no detectable effects on cognition, productivity, decision-making, or well-being” based on the data they’ve shown. 1. Thei
