I noticed this interesting fact during my secondary school education. Additionally you can use this to prove that e is the point where a change in the exponent causes a larger result than a change in the base. E.g. (x+d)^y > x^(y+d) when

QOI caused a huge burst in interest for image formats. Audio is a little harder to work with and understanding so I can imagine less impact for QOA (still good though). What I'm really looking forward to is QOV (video).

Maybe by asking the AI to be concise they're reducing the server load? It has been running awfully slow recently, probably due to a surge in mainstream awareness.

Three is widely considered the worst mobile network in the UK. I think they have won #1 worst network for years in a row.

Wouldn't it be better to save the publication datetime as a Unix timestamp, then convert it based on the reader's timezone?

In their examples section they mention how a double agent was charged with tax evasion based on $2m of undeclared income from bribes. But if the agent WERE to mention the income on their tax documents, even as "Unspecified due to 5th a

The performance hit is quite unacceptable in games such as CSGO. I cannot really think of any competitive game where the performance hit is justifiable.

It does seem possible, e.g. rather than sending an uppercase alphabetic message as 8-bit ASCII bytes, you can send their position in the alphabet instead, so 01000001 becomes 00001. Of course this only works when you're limiting yourse

After reading this, it seems clear (for most users) that the paid REST api for GPT-3 is a good deal.

I've always imagined that voxels are the pixel art of the 3D world. Much easier to create from both an aesthetic and development point of view. Hard discrete edges that fall along the XYZ planes are much easier to program for (think co

Money laundering? Fundamental incompetence? Pick any reason honestly, they all make the same amount of sense. I've never understood why Mozilla bought Pocket.

These free-speech reddit clones always seem to descend to far-right Nazism. Maybe you have to ban all political discussion to survive as a reddit clone on the modern internet.

Yeah honestly this blog post just seems to be highlighting a bug in gcc when it is compiling to an older version of C. Not sure why the author chose to frame it as some big point about the printf function.

I tried: "When is the first full moon after October the 18th 2021?" It should have said the 20th of October but it said: "November the 19th 2021". Big AI models have quite a way to go I think...

I'd say "right-wing dystopia" is putting it too strongly. The USA is definitely further right than the UK, but the main perception I'd say is that the politics in the USA are toxic, highly polarised and all-consuming (ve

This is an interesting project, I made a somewhat similar NN to C "compiler" but that was for feedforward networks only. Could this in theory be extended to support models saved in common formats (such as H5)?
