I think you can. If you have a neuron whose input weights are 100,-1,2, with threshold 0, you can know the output of the neuron if the first input is enabled, as the other 2 dont matter, so you can skip evaluating those. I'm not enough

Don't know about the others, but FFT is the classic case of common subexpression evaluation (its mathematically equivalent), which I think by OPs definition would fall under caching.

The idea as I stated it is super half-baked but > You could probably do the same thing with directories but I haven't thought about it. For example in the FAT filesystem, a directory is just a file with a special flag set in its fil

I think you went for a socio-political angle, I was talking more about stuff in the tech domain. Back in the mid 2000s, as a teen, I had a PSP, which was supported by the biggest studios and had amazing games - no equivalent device exists t

I think the article talks about nonviolent protests - the first two were anything but. The Slovakian incident worked, because Slovakia has a working representative democracy. In a deeply flawed, or downright nondemocratic system, like Serbi

I started programming on DOS - I remember how amazing was that you basically almost talked to hardware directly, there was very little restriction on what you could do, and the OS (which imo was much more akin to a set of libraries) provide

The fundamental issue is that actual information of what the fck is going on in the world/your country and why is so far buried and removed from the public eye that people either accept the BS narrative, latch onto crazy conspiracy the

You have a limit of 1k simultaneous open files per process - not sure what overhead exists in the kernel that made them impose this, but I guess it exists for a reason. You might run into trouble if you open too many files at ones (either t

HEPA filters stop dust particles and not those tiny organic molecules that cause the smells. Filters for these exist as well, usually used in respirators, but those need to be exchanged pretty frequently and are not cheap.

A somewhat unrelated thing, is I got bombarded with ads for a 'mental health mindfulness' service on one of the major international news websites. I decided to Google the company after a few days. I was immediately confronted by t

I think it would be more accurate to say, that technology went in the wrong direction and the further we go down our current path, the more people realize this. So some folks have decided to go back to something they knew worked, and the su

I don't get crypto - just looked up how a couple of most performant stocks did in the past decade, and I'm pretty sure you could outperform BTC with the same amount of risk tolerance. The swings on BTC price are absolutely insane,

In a lot of places, they point out the std implementation is strictly inferior to theirs in some way, so its not always organizational inertia, it's that the C++ standard types could have been designed strictly better with no tradeoff.

How stable is it? A couple years ago I tried installing it in a VM, and my experience was it would BSOD in 15 minutes whenever I tried to do anything with it.

I thought botting on ebay has been forbidden since forever, LLM or otherwise. This isn't so much a policy change as an affirmation that existing policy still applies.

Apologies, I'm kind of basing this on half-remembered forum posts from a decade ago. For the first, there was a certain color that was discontinued due to issues with the pigment (I'm fairly certain it was Citadel and acrylic) and

by torginus 9mo ago
I'm not an expert on this, and you might be right on the acrylic paints, but modeles use a lot more stuff (solvents, primers, glues, resin) when building and painting minis is dangerous as they often use toxic solvents with VOCs. Anyth

Imo the problem with SaaS products is that their revenue expectations are priced accordingly to the market they serve, not the money it takes recreating them. If I wrote the best word processor in the world, I could probably sell it for a d

Isn't painting one of the most hazardous hobbies? You're working with questionable chemicals all the time. Even the official Citadel stuff (which I think is reasonably OK most of the time) needs to be treated with a healthy dose o

Aren't most 40k minis cast resin? The process is incredibly simple, I don't think outsourcing it to China would save a lot of money, just bringing those minis over the ocean would probably cost 10x as much as making them locally.

Isn't it a huge issue for Europe, that stock revenue is heavily taxed, while pensions accounts (which make the same investments) are not? Which means it makes more financial sense to put the money into pensions accounts?

This is just a conspiracy theory of mine, but how credible is the notion that in Germany, the Greens who campaigned (successfully) for nuclear shutdown were in fact funded by Russia?

I just want to add that treesitter is a heuristic, incremental parser. The difference between regular parsers and treesitter, is that regular parsers start eating tokens from the start of the file, and try to assemble and AST from that. The
