I'm not sure what to feel about this. The app seems worth than facebook to me. I've not used it myself, but from the limited information I gathered from friends, some of them would mindlessly watch it for hours and not be able to

Somewhat off-topic: I have this weird problem that if I close my eyes and imagine walking towards a doorway and going through it, I can't. I can get pretty close to the door, but just can't go through it. It's like the brain

For anyone having many good shower thoughts but easily forget them due to bad short-term memory: buy some water proof note taking papers. It's among the best things I've done for myself recently.

Could you elaborate on how you find new papers that you are interested in? Do you just subscribe to RSS sources and going through all of them? Or do you have some way of filtering?

I feel the question is unnecessarily convoluted. To really answer the question, you have to recursively refer to the question itself. So to parse the question, I'm calling a function recursively without a stop condition. They could hav

Question: with this kind of optimization, how does the program run different functions on different CPUs? Like the ones that don't support AVX512? Some kind of runtime dispatch based on CPU ID?

In case this is not clear: the dataset does not include the raw audio of the songs, just extracted features.

Totally off-topic. Is it just me, or is this "People also search for" the worst feature ever? For those who haven't noticed, this is the box that shows up under a search result when you return to google from the page you&#x27

Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but it seems to me that once you have the model trained, it should be possible to partition it somehow when inferencing, to fit smaller machines. At least for a proof of concept it should be possible.

This is cool. Since they released a 11B pre-trained model, can we finally reproduce "unicorn-level" text generation now?

Serious question: I've heard great things about iTerm2. I'm on Linux running xterm and a tiling window manager. What am I missing out on?

Unrelated question: I went to my bank for a wire transfer. And I was horrified to find out that after verifying my info, they had full access to the same web interface I use, with my accounts. They even showed it to me, asking me which acco

Basically create a group and add an iptables rule to it. Something like: iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -m owner --gid-owner no-internet -j DROP And then when you launch the program: sg no-internet ./something_fishy

> You could completely trust this app if you could ban it from accessing the internet. Yes. I have a "no-internet" user group on my linux system. Whenever I want to run an untrusted app I run it under that group.

Anecdotal only, but in the 15 years that I've used cell phones, I was never once unable to make a phone call when I had full signal bars. That is, until I switched to Google Fi on my Pixel XL 2. After the switch, I was constantly missi

Too bad the total amount is fixed. I don't care about the $125. I want them to lose a substantial amount of money so that they and everybody else start taking this more seriously.

I know this question might not apply to the article, but in general, how does Crispr work on adults? Does it change the DNA of all the cells in the body?

Yes. Also as mentioned in the post, strlcpy (when it's available) is safer.
