You can come up with all kinds of fancy stuff, but if they're disjoint I don't think you're going to to much better than storing them in an efficient data structure for ordered data. Something to look into would be to ensure

How would one write a 0 bit value into registers?
303.
by shiandow 2y ago
Sure, and passing it zero arguments is exactly what it means to evaluate it on the single value of the unit set. I mean surely we can agree that a pure function of 0 arguments picks out exactly 1 value, and that a function that accepts n di
304.

You encounter the same problem with zero argument functions. A function on a zero type would be unable to return any value, since there's no value you could apply it to. To have a function of zero arguments you should use the unit ty

It's also precisely what will show up if you use Lagrange multipliers to maximize entropy given a fixed energy. (though for that to make sense you're no longer looking at a single state, you're optimizing the probability dist

Overall that seems decent as far as privacy is concerned, though there are 2 things I don't like about it. 1. It relies on an 'aggregation service', which you'd better hope is trustworthy because they seemingly get all i

I am partial to a project to keep the moon from drifting away. Mostly because I like eclipses and want them to stick around for a while longer. Otherwise I'm happy with the moon staying where it is.

Parchment? How modern, used to be that you could simply send someone to shout your message at them.

Honestly I'm a bit confused, the descriptions seem contradictory or require an extraordinary level of fine tuning. If you just insert a capsule of radioactive material, it's easy to make it (extremely) poisonous, easily detectable

Not surprising, google apps regularly seem to be slow to respond when I just type stuff.

Not quite sure what part you disagree with, but indeed that's more or less what's happening. Though also the fact that it's a finite number of pieces is important.
313.
by shiandow 2y ago
The trick is to cut it up to an extent that you can't meaningfully assign area (or rather volume) any more. The only real trick here is the low number of pieces, if you allow an arbitrary number of pieces it's simple to split the

It's very easy to write programs solving some unsolvable problem that don't terminate.

It's case insensitive for what it's worth. My main problem is trying to figure out which utilities they've bundled into which command.

One could of course try to keep the library, its 27 branches and its website up to date without connecting anything to the internet. But I think it's understandable why they chose not to.

If you'd read the aticle you might have noticed that generating answers with the LLM is very much part of the fact-checking process.

Do tell me if I'm completely wrong but isn't part of the problem there that you're simply expecting too much from MOND? I mean a theory that is a modification of classical dynamics is not going to work well in a relativistic

by shiandow 2y ago
I'm getting interested now, the comments have alleged several predictions MOND made. On the other hand I'm pretty sure the evidence for dark matter is pretty strong as well (I believe there are several ways to calculate the amount

The easiest prediction you can make is that it's going to have an impact in unexpected ways. It will be some time until we get to grips with all the implications of computers grokking language. Then again sci-fi has had computers under

Not sure about the equation at the end. Looks like you may have incorrectly thought that e^(x/y) = e^x / e^y. I get wanting to get a sense of the runtime compared to the time spent checkpointing but the equation as stated is wron

This just tells you the speed, not the variation in speed over time?

Not sure how much this will help but simply picking the centre of each pixel is causing severe aliasing. Using a more random selection would resolve that (it would get rid of the moire), but wouldn't prevent much noise. Some structured

Provided we still have search engines that can search for literal text a few years from now, I think it should work.

Using Firefox you can use the PIP mode to put the presentation wherever you want at any size.

It's fairly quick and supports !bangs, and it actually works right now... I'll give it a try.

I mean clearly having Scarlett Johansson on board was plan A. Bringing the voice offline and then revealing it was a recording of someone else who coincidentally sounded exactly the same is definitely plan B or C though. I don't unde

I think you may need to update the figures in the rest of the article. At some point you mention it should take around 128ns but with the new benchmark that's probably closer to 64*1.25=80ns.
