Besides that it's a very synthetic example that I don't think makes sense in the context of a city simulation, I think that it's also a bad design. You shouldn't have multiple authorities on the value of x, C shouldn&#x2

Dai hasn't moved an inch, what you're seeing is the collapse of investment vehicles that were stable in name only.

Why would you need a clock for causal ordering? You don't need every actor to respond to a change at the same time.

Yup, it's the one you already watched if you've seen a teardown of a 100ghz scope before.

It's posted on a Nintendo fansite. Amongst Nintendo fans it is known that amongst all the awesome creative products Nintendo has created and enabled, it has also always been ruthlessly controlling of its ecosystem. It basically invente

Just so no one's deterred, it's actually not very difficult to do this. The rustc and ruby patches I submitted as an exercise. I went to the issue tracker, sorted by oldest first, and then picked the first issue that had little&#x

Bonus points if you're either not asked to transfer your copyright, or asked to transfer it to a non-profit foundation. Personally, I'm ok with doing the work myself if I didn't pay for the product. It gives me a feeling we&#

I'd be very surprised if Microsoft's development process is more thorough than that of Rust or even Rails. These are not your average hobby projects, it is imperative that changes go through the proper due process there. It takes

You are unaware of how much better it is with the other ecosystems. Probably all of them except the ones controlled by Apple, Oracle and IBM. You want to know what's better than having actual MS developers interact with your issue on

I really liked the book "Super Founders" by Ali Tamaseb. It has the information you're looking for at least, as well as a lot of other interesting stuff. Most significant property of billion dollar startup founders is that th

I went in 2021, and I had to fill in social media accounts, they didn't say to which sites so I listed a whole bunch of them.

I think recent research showed that microplastics are caught by waste management processes, and I think dumped in land fills so not much of a threat to the environment if they get into the sewage.

Sample size of 98 is pretty large for this kind of study. What sort of sample size would you suggest, and why?

Ah yeah, like in the article where it says China went "backwards" and cut their pm2.5 pollution gaining an average 2 years lifespan. All those Chinese are now poor and starving.

As a teenager I worked an evening job at one of the largest banks in the world, processing mail-in credit card orders. I would sit at a computer, run an app that could query any bank account number, and I'd get their current balance (a

I did that, and then rebought at 130 and sold again at 175, and so on until I only had a couple and then MtGox happened and I lost 80% of that and lost interest for a couple years. It's definitely possible to get in early and not becom

I wonder how many examples it would need to respond with "hah, trick question!". I wonder how it would do if you managed to frame the question more neutrally. To be fair you might trick a 7 year old into responding with a fantasy

Right for sure, I'm just trying to get to a better argument. I definitely agree that there's a great deal more consideration in your comment than in one that GPT-3 would come up with. I do wonder how far these language models can

by tinco 4y ago
We are only not executing the same task because GPT-3 has no motivation to do anything else than memory recall. And precisely because it does so it does give you real data about the world. I think you maybe misunderstood what GPT-3 can do

The problem with asking it what its favorite theme in Les Miserables is is that it has no reason to have a favorite theme, its interpretation of Les Miserables did not trigger any of its reward functions except the only one it has which is

I'm sorry but you completely fail at explaining what the difference is between GPT-3 and a human when generating sentences. And frankly I don't believe there is any significant difference. If you inform GPT-3 of what it has eaten

I've heard you can polish out logo's with a sugar cube. Never tried it myself but the idea is it's hard enough to scrub off a printed logo but soft enough as not to scratch the plastic.

You do realize the worst case scenario for this stuff is that the house is no longer smart right?

No, they're saying they've implemented something that's even more simple than an embedded database and it still works fine for them. If you can stand several 100s of milliseconds of latency on every write then writing a 1.2gb

In my highschool maths grades were always 100% based on tests. I get the idea of motivating students to do their homework failing them when they test perfect doesn't make sense. I like it when the homework allows the students to skip q

IO isn't checked by the type system if errors aren't checked by the type system. Haskell could be better, Haskell should have been better.

by tinco 4y ago
Yeah, but even better Rust has `except`, but that's besides the point. Rust doesn't pretend to by a pure language, it just promises to be a safe language as long as you don't use `unsafe`. Haskell makes a big fuss about how i

by tinco 4y ago
Mostly irrelevant but those runtime errors are the main reason why I stopped using Haskell. Haskell is a great language with a great booming ecosystem, but if you can have uncaught exceptions in IO monads, and even unchecked errors in your

That makes me think of calculus in freshman's year. The first week the prof explained all maths we had learned in highschool, and then seemingly continued that same pace every week, it was rough. Especially for some of the smart kids w
