We don't see them because they are so good at it, obviously ;) Yeah, those stealth games never really clicked for me, with their absurdly imperceptive professional guards standing around everywhere.

Read about it back then in what might best be described as a kid's annual hardcover magazine and loved it so much (a few years later they had a long article about the Porsche 959, it's almost a tie for me). "Das Neue Universu

Do you find it hard to max out, or do you find it hard to productively max out? It's like paying drivers per gallon of fuel consumed and then acting all surprised that you see them revving their engine while waiting at a red light.

Same thoughts exactly. I wonder if Google is aware of its identity crisis? Even long after "don't be evil", Google was still "we earn so much from a healthy web that making the web a healthy one is almost a straight forw

So give harder guiderails? Sonarcube and the like. But I guess then the failure mode would be appeasing the linter while slowly forgetting the requirements... (or not so slowly, because the try/fail loop won't be nice to context a

That's just how perception works. It's rarely fair. People who keep their car running perfectly fine for 20 years will appear like they don't care, people who return a young but worn out near-wreck every time the lease runs o

My perception has long reached the flipping point where sun-facing roof without any solar installed makes the house look like a house in bad maintenance.

Fukushima hit hard in (West) Germany: Chernobyl was mostly explained away with "because Soviet", it wasn't that hard to convince people that much safer nuclear was possible. But Japan, of all countries, not being able to safe

We don't know what to what fraction that peace movement ran on being propped up by KGB. Those things are not mutually exclusive, genuine protest and getting propped up by a foreign power just for destabilization and giggles. Just like

When the iron curtain fell, there were big plans and a formal contract about modernizing the rail link between Prague and Nuremberg (a hugely important connection on the days of Charles IV). The Czech side eventually stopped electrifying th

Can anyone from the region comment on the status of plans for the landside linkup on the German side? Last time it made the press it was because the project was at risk of seeing the Danish tunnel finished before Germany could tell not even

Sealing is really not that difficult if you have access to the high pressure side. The hard part is identifying the location of the leak. In sum, this means that they have to absolutely nail it, on the first attempt, for the bottom part tha

Some form of "increment authority" that simply appends to a list of hashes whenever it encounters a commit not yet on the list? Then you could use URI like $authorityhost/orderedcommits/$number as synonyms for the hashes

When in doubt, dogfooding: "make us popular with the Internet crowd, take a look at what popular companies have done. Here's a budget you can use" Chances are they were expecting the agent to spoon-feed hundreds of influencer

Would the world be inherently different if hardware cost was 4x of what it is per unit of training done? The world would be inherently different if we did not burn through fossil stockpiles at the speed we do, or not at all. It's marke

With unlimited money, you'd be able to do unlimited over-build. At least that's what we thought until recently...

And the sad part is that ai would be a perfect fit for intermittent energy sources: run inference 24/7 (on whatever you can muster, even if it's fossil it simply does not consume all that much compared to training) and over-build

The trade-off between having the field-swappability feature and going the lean way (it's not just cheaper, also smaller, lighter, less to go wrong) shifts though: when regulation forces companies to go 20% of the way towards field swap

Is it just quantization or is it also rearranging the weights to get clusters with (almost) the same factors? If it's the latter it would very much be training in full precision (but also hardly any precision lost by the compression).

Status LED and button placement, those would be the the major benefits over conventional boards in non-exotic fields like putting circuits on plants. Would be fantastically valuable for the one-off tinkerer. But yeah, substituting home etch

I guess they consider that a solved problem: when you can drop arbitrary connections without meaningful heating of stuff outside of the connection, just glue your SMD parts wherever you consider convenient and fuse lines to its connection p

Only when the prices raise to the point that low demand leads to actual flight cancellations. The demand for fuel is much less flexible than the demand for tickets.

Bootstrapping will be near-impossible (or incredibly costly) unless they offer inference consumers models with established demand arriving at some least-cost router service where they can undercut the competition (if they actually can). And

In stock markets, insider trading is a big no not because it ruins someone's gambling habit, but because the entire concept of the corporation requires a certain amount of trust of financiers in financees. That whole pooling of capital

And if the police actually catches the accused and puts them in jail, is that kidnapping? Most verbs have far more semantics than just the most basic before/after state diff.
