Size is an important factor because the extra crush room allows for more gradual deceleration in a crash. Mass is an important factor because in an inelastic collision, the lighter object will experience greater G-forces.

What I could see fine-tuning being very useful for is efficiency, either getting GPT-4 Level performance out of a smaller model or pruning GPT-4 for your specific needs. After all, if I just want to detect from text what color and brightnes

I had somewhat of a similar experience treating a different condition I had. I wanted to take the scientific approach of taking one supplement at a time and measuring my response, but I ended up taking everything at once, and that worked wo

Potentially. Devs might get up and running with Scratch even faster than Go. But I'm assuming the OP already determined that Go or Clojure would work well for the task. Go probably has a leg up on Clojure for reputation in production p

A 33x in Bitcoin price would put it just above the value of all the world's gold. Obviously not really realistic but if you're a crypto-piller and believe Bitcoin will be the next Gold then it's a decent benchmark moon price.

This ruined Facebook years ago for me and continues to make social media unappealing. I used to open Facebook every day, scroll down to see all my friends' new posts, and then close it once it said "all caught up!" Of course,

It's pretty easy to make a Robinhood wallet these days and start transferring crypto, and it uses Polygon by default. No knowledge of ECDSA required.

You are correct, similar to any other money transfer service it needs to be redeemed somehow. USDC is probably more trustworthy than an individual bank if you own >$250k because of their active treasury management.

Ok, so if it's already copyright infringement then what does writing "permission is not granted" at the bottom of your post do, exactly?

by tornato7 3y ago
That's not really true of crypto if you consider any chain but Bitcoin and Ethereum. You can send USDC on Arbitrum (an Ethereum L2) for <$0.10, or Polygon for <$0.01. Also, as the article points out, international transfers are s

Why do you think it would be illegal? You can state "permission is not granted to X" on anything you want, but that doesn't mean the law is on your side. Regular rules of copyright still apply. P.S. Permission is not granted

If technology is not the problem then why is technology in traditional banking so bad? I do banking operations as a big part of my job, and can tell you that there are close to zero banks today that have even heard of APIs. The only ones th

For better or worse, Crypto is legitimately the easiest way to create a financial application, derivative, exchange etc... any programmer can create interesting, useful, and novel financial instruments like Squeeth, crvUSD, PoolTogether, et

FTX, 3AC, Celsius, etc. took the crypto pill and believed their investments were going to the moon with no way to stop it. That's why they took such risky bets (with customer money, too) - because in the certain case that Bitcoin hit $

You're correct. I do think login/security is mostly solved if you're OK using Google/GitHub/Apple login. It's the moderation that's a tough part. Many forums end up with over-eager spam filters or captchas

Xenoforo is OK, but it has the same problems of any other forum: - Time-based comment and post ordering means you're reading a lot of spam like "bump" and "first" - If there is more than one conversation in a thread

To make this happen, we need better open source forum software. A group of us have been searching for a good self-hosted forum to replace /r/BuyItForLife and have trialed quite a few, but they are just... Really bad.

Odd choice of categories, and the actual categorization doesn't work all too well (like putting an article about DisplayPort under entertainment).

I've worked with many excellent programmers over 40, some over 70. You might want to look for companies that are run by older folk, and maybe in more established companies. Anecdotally, I haven't seen a lot of 40+ engineers in Sil

However, if you're running a computer with a 16-core CPU, power usage doesn't scale linearly with cores. There's a lot of overhead, especially if you're talking about a laptop/desktop with display, HID, etc.

A couple years ago I wanted an item in-stock at the Apple store but the soonest 'pickup appointment' they could give me was a few days out. What's worse is they have you choose a specific 15-minute window. That's not ver

Just use HTML5 Canvas. Ask GPT-4 to set up the basic scene for you and you'll be up and running in minutes. ciechanow.ski uses pure Canvas for all his demos.
