Um no. I am saying one of those claims might be true. I'm trying to make a logical argument about their commonality, not give a personal opinion.

The claims inside the framework don't need to be compatible, they're just religions.

They all exist in a common reality. We're going somewhere no matter what we believe right?

Yes, that they reject the framework doesn't really matter does it?

I prefer to use the trustee's watermark which reflects the value of Bitcoin after the price manipulation of fake Bitcoin being sold by MtGox had been taken out of the market at $460. But your point is made even stronger if you consider

Why would it not fit in this framework because of something they claim?

Yeah that's true. Though many (most?) religions believe their path/destination is the only true one, so believing there would be different outcomes for different groups would be a new religion those religions would vehemently disa

Well of course they'd vehemently disagree, they're on a different path and they believe that path goes to a different destination, while in reality necessarily all those path lead to the same destination. A Hindu might believe the

Weird one, "How to talk to anyone" by Leil Lowndes, bought because someone else recommended, no idea about the scientific merit of anything in it. It helped me not just make sense of how to navigate social situations, but also how

Let the record show that I have always supported (explicit) regulation of cryptocurrency. In addition I have always held the opinion that Ripple is a security, not a cryptocurrency, and that it should never have been tolerated by the SEC. T

You can say that, but when MtGox went bankrupt, and also lost 4 fifths of its stored crypto, the court just heaped together all assets into one big pile and all creditors into one big pile and let them fight it out. So now there's a b

I hired an intern. Pair programmed with him for a couple months straight out of a code bootcamp. Nothing will keep you in the zone like pair programming, especially on boring tasks.

That's certainly true and describes my circumstances at the time. But it's also good to note that it is great for C/C++ dependencies as well, our GIS applications require PROJ, and our machine learning projects various Nvidia

My apologies, I meant relevance to the problem that Docker solves, which is enabling developers to neatly specify and package their dependencies. I am not trying to diminish jails and zones usefulness to system administrators. I'm just

Just for clarification, because zoltan isn't making very compelling arguments. Docker made containers easy and effective. Solaris zones were not as good as Docker is, BSD jails are/were not as good or easy to use as Docker is. Pop

No, and keep in mind the map paints a much rosier picture than reality if you're concerned about climate. Just grid electrity is but a fraction of total energy use, and nearly all other energy is gathered from burning gas, oil and coal

Yeah there's research being done on multiple solutions. One of them is painting one of the blades a different color which helps somehow. I don't see how there couldn't be a technical solution, it's not like these turbine

True. About 50.000 birds die due to windmills per year in The Netherlands, so according to this stat we should have 500M birds. So the odds of it killing a specific bird is roughly 50.000/500M=0.01% chance. So we'd expect it to ha

Afsluit = "close off". Dijk = "dike" (pronounced the same too). It's a 20 mile long dike we've built that closes off what used to be the South Sea from the North Sea, turning it into a big lake that's call

Not sure if it's a false claim per se, as "smelten" is Dutch (Jelle being Dutch also) for melting. A device that melts things in Dutch would be called a "smelter". Of course, in his description he does use the Engli

Interesting that they're saying they have a target of replicating GPT-3 with 175B parameters, but since the RETRO paper it should (in theory?) be possible to replicate GPT-3 with a tenth of the parameters. Are they not planning to use

When CoffeeScript came out, I vowed never to write plain Javascript again. I kept to that vow for a couple years, but eventually broke it when ECMA 6 came out. Really the only thing that put real technical justification behind CoffeeScript

Could you explain a bit how your project is different from the one in the article? Why did they implement the SM83 in HDL when you already have such an implementation? Also, I don't see any specific FPGA's mentioned, what sort of

The word unsafe has a specific meaning in Rust. It doesn't mean every C program that uses argc and argv is unsafe. In this specific case however I don't think it would actually require much unsafe. The only unsafe thing I'd i
