Is there a study showing that eating X amount of apples or Y amount of banana does what you say it does in your last sentence? I never saw something like that. Extracting the fructose from fruit and then drinking it is completely different

Interesting, for some reason I translated the Croatian word "kolačić" for "small cake" to cookie. I guess cookie is not a small cake. In Croatian the expression is "madeleine kolačić".

China can't meet its own energy demands with its current pace of nuclear/coal plant production. http://www.withouthotair.com/ provides a really good analysis of why nuclear must be included. The energy demand can&

Exactly the same thing happens with mpv if you shift the audio manually. I experienced that recently. After shifting, whenever I go forward or backward it gets out of sync + the performance decreases ( without the shift going forward or bac

These measures that disallow use of antibiotics by humans are inhumane. For example, a chart in the article below shows huge growth in number of admissions after 2002 guidelines to replace full antibiotic therapy for acute UTI with 3-day an

What are hardware requirements to run this? I see the mixture model is ~ 300 GB and was trained on 256 GPUs. I assume distilled versions can easily be run on one GPU.

Anyone knows what happened to the 10-part documentary that was supposed to be released in 2020? I'm really interested in the whole history of the Blue Brain project.

I always wondered how IMX377EQH5 sucked in some devices and was incredible in others (Nexus 5X has really good video/picture quality). Some devices use it for 4K video and it looks like upscaled 480p. Yet 1080p on Nexus 5X looks very s

Hmm, interesting that single threaded C++ is 25% of Python exec time. It feels like C++ implementation might have area for improvement. My usual 1-to-1 translations result in C++ being 1-5% of Python exec time, even on combinatorial stuff.

Yes, it's a question with a silly trick. Completely useless if one knows the answer, hard to spot if the person feigns struggle. Although, n•(n+1)/2 formula is not necessary. One can start with an xor sum and find the duplicate by

You could do it through Pandoc. Pandoc can process multiple data sources (citations, chapters, yamls etc.) and output a pdf. You can turn on citation linking (in the text), you can apply a custom latex template. Once it is all setup, you ju

Hmm, interesting, I went through the guides and I have no idea what this game is about. Is it just regular Pokemon game but somehow you play against others online?

My first response focused on problems that do not require knowledge of any named algorithms, data structures, math or tricks. I even mentioned I do not care about heaps, linked lists etc. I'm not sure how we're back at LeetCode. O

It is just an attempt to shortly evaluate the experience listed on paper. Thinking is only one aspect of programming. Are open form questions for which the candidate can give an honest answer or that start a discussion better, or do you fin

The proof of their experience is publicly visible. That is not the case for most individuals, including me. FizzBuzz is not a puzzle solvable only with an obscure trick, and easily maps to real world, the buses problem too, and I can list m

But that is not a mental puzzle. It's a straightforward march of thinking. Programming as a craft, generally, does not have a "great filter" like medicine, civil engineering or aerospace. The longer one survives in these fiel

Without leet coding, named algorithms (binary search, dynamic programming, and other esoterica) or data structures (only requiring knowledge of arrays, assoc arrays, loops is enough), coding interviews still allow you to demonstrate your th

Yeah, I guess the conclusion is that humans are still much better than DL. :D

I wonder can they construct a deep learning model that encodes human languages from script shapes and then somehow figure out the God language from which Linear A script/language is derived. There's too little data for Linear A. B

To improve your suggestion, it's very easy to also get triglyceride non-fish omega-3 (DHA+EPA), so now there shouldn't be less worry about other stuff getting into it.

When stuff has that much asymmetry, it is seriously broken.

Same can be said of Donald Knuth. He even made a shorter proof than the proof that was considered to be a proof from the book years ago, moments after the original proof was published. I mean, they all might be outliers for as long as they

It's going to be weird to live in an age when pyramidal schemes (pension systems, academia etc.), that have been foundation of the modern civilization, start falling apart (given that they are based on a healthy population pyramid).

Hmm.. wouldn't all those plants be fed to animals? GMO in EU is only allowed as animal feed. Those plants get treated with the same pesticides (if not stronger), but now a cow eats through tons of grains while you would never eat that
