One thing I don't see addressed in this article is that as far as I know, it's basically impossible to trust the reported price or volume of NFT transactions, because there's no way to distinguish fake wash trades from real o

It's right there in the middle section of the image: the Python program just appends your question to a prompt, sends it to GPT-3, extracts the code from the response, and calls exec() on it.

By "score", do you mean manually reviewing and rating the outputs from the evaluation set every time the model changes? Because it's hard to imagine an automated evaluation system that would be sophisticated enough to tell wh

Not really. It's idiomatic to use a single "err" variable for every error value in the same function body, and the compiler will only check whether that variable is used at least once; it doesn't perform a data flow anal

Standardizing outlets is a tempting idea, but there are a lot of 120V devices that are not designed to tolerate 240V and would create extreme safety hazards if they were plugged into the wrong voltage. So I think you would need to design a

Let's train a neural network to take source code in an arbitrary language as input, and produce a call graph as output. What could go wrong?

I mean, you could view any story as a "recitation of facts" if you're really determined to take that point of view, but I don't think it's at all fair to dismiss the Silmarillion that way. It's true that the fi

How so? Legally, I don't see anything particularly unusual about this. I don't think there's ever been any case law to suggest that online reviews enjoy some kind of blanket protection from libel laws. Whether a particular st

In my opinion, whitespace is fine when it's used to separate functionally distinct UI elements. What I find most aggravating is when white space is used to pad out lists of items. For example, I got in the habit of using Google Keep

330km is only when the satellite is directly overhead. Starlink's coverage is typically given on the assumption that the satellites may be as low as 25 degrees above the horizon, and at that elevation, the straight-line distance is mor

That explanation is, as far as I can tell, completely wrong. I think it's telling that it doesn't actually cite the sections of the AGPL's text that would point out the error. Copyright law -- at least, in the US -- protects

In Ceph, objects are organized into placement groups (PGs), and a scrub is performed on one PG at a time, operating on all replicas of that PG. For a normal scrub, only the metadata (essentially, the list of stored objects) is compared, so

Just to add to the other comment: Ceph checksums data and metadata on every read/write operation. So even if you completely disable scrubbing, if data on a disk becomes corrupted, the OSD will detect it and the client will transparentl

Yeah, I've been running a small Ceph cluster at home, and my only real issue with it is the relative scarcity of good conceptual documentation. I personally learned about Ceph from a coworker and fellow distributed systems geek who&#

That seems like an extremely pedantic complaint. Sure, the breathing gas for a crewed mission or habitat would need to include an inert gas as well as oxygen. But oxygen is consumed during respiration and the inert gas isn't, so oxygen

Yup. Just at a glance, I don't see even a cursory attempt to prove that the upper bound on the proposed algorithm's time complexity is actually a polynomial. It depends on the "serial numbers of [...] monomials, in the natura

That seems like a problem that could easily be solved by sending fewer notifications. Do I really need to know if somebody has joined Signal until I actually want to talk to them? Isn't it better to have a larger pool of people with

At least on Android, any application that I give permission to access my contact list can see email addresses for the client-side contacts that are synced with my Gmail account. Maybe iOS behaves differently?

After countless discussions of Signal on HN, I have yet to see an explanation for why Signal can use phone numbers from a client-side contact list, but not email addresses from a client-side contact list. Surely, in either case the identifi

It's not just a question of performance. OpenSCAD doesn't even begin to approach a tiny fraction of Fusion 360's feature set (even if you only look at the free "hobbyist" edition).
