Yes, many cameras have a setting called "ISO Auto Min SS" which lets you set a focal length - minimum shutter speed multiplier.

On many Sony models, you can set the camera to aperture priority instead of auto, set ISO to Auto ISO, and then change the max ISO to whatever you want; this is what I do in your situation.

There are IDF troops on the Egypt side and a Egypt was forced under military threat to a sign a treaty allowing Israel to veto what comes and goes from the Egyptian side.

Paying 1m/week is objectively a waste when you're refusing to pay 100k for a year, though. Healthcare is paid through insurance, so there's real meat to the loved one distinction - you're not actually making that decisio

Quebec (ARTM/STM) already uses electric buses from Novabus (Volvo), so no.

Quebec already has electric city buses built in partnership with Novabus and Hydro-Quebec, they are pretty widespread in Montreal. This is something else, a startup that I've only ever seen schoolbuses from.

Immigrants legal or not that are issued SSNs cannot use them to get money unless they pay into Social Security for at least 10 years and then retire, and only if they don't get deported by then. It's a non-issue that doesn't

I wish this myth would die. Anyone who picks up a camera would know that it isn't true, there are many things even very expensive cameras can't do that humans can. Specifically, the mix of high acuity when needed but wide angle, l

3rd wolrdism also exists in Europe. I'm pretty sure it's far more popular. The reason why they feel overrepresented in the US is simply because a real, progressive leftist political project is essentially impossible, so the most e

I'm pretty sure there's an issue in the first equation. A Nm (Newton-meter) is the cross-product between a force and a distance and is a vector quantity (more specifically a bivector), while a watt is a dot product and is a scalar

Sure, that's also predicted by a logarithmic scaling law, you have extremely rapid growth until the inflection point.

I mean the scaling laws were always logarithms, and logarithms become arbitrarily close to flat if you can't drive them with exponential growth, and even if you do it's barely linear. The scaling laws always predicted that model s

Basically every activation function throws away half of the dynamic range at every neuron, which across a deep network is a lot. You make a good point about LayerNorm, it's probably even worse.

The activation function throws away much of the dynamic range of floating point numbers, it's relatively clear that having a lot of range where the activation is already saturated is unlikely to be useful.
