Where's the performance on common useful tasks? What's the largest number it can factor using Shor's algorithm? What's the largest hash it can compute a pre-image for using Grover's algorithm?

Well, most non-surgeon doctors are already of limited use since for "easy" things information on the web is good enough or better and for "complex" things that need a lot of research the issue might be unsolvable and if

I think this works. You can buy two small dishwashers, keep clean stuff in one, dirty in the other, then run the dirty one and swap. Or you can also just have one plate and wash it by hand after every meal.

Why not use GraphQL instead of inventing a whole new protocol?

Why is live a lot harder? Aside from latency (which isn't much of a problem unless you are competing with TV or some other distribution system), it seems easier than on-demand, since you send the same data to everyone and don't ne

It seems obvious to me that Common Crawl plus Github public repositories have more than an enough data to train an AI that is as good as any programmer (at tasks not requiring knowledge of non-public codebases or non-public domain knowledge

Wouldn't dead reckoning with the accelerometer and gyroscope in addition to their machine learning improve this significantly? (constraining motion along the known tunnel path when in a moving train, constraining the user to be within

I like the way it works, and I'm experimenting with customizing Firefox to behave like browser.horse. Currently I did this, which seems to completely mimic what they show in the video: 1. Install Tree Style Tabs. This will give you hie

Doesn't seem fractal: the dots on the door become big as the camera approaches it rather than revealing underlying fine-grained structure.

It looks like none of the proposed approaches work well, and the problem seems to be much more complicated that it looks. I think what might work properly is: - A "fractal" dither pattern so that it can be zoomed out and in smooth

Presumably those services use Chromium codecs and perhaps standard WebRTC, so they have access to the encoded data stream as well (via JavaScript injection or patching Chromium to dump the data).

The problem seems to be that they are decompressing video in Chromium and then sending the uncompressed video somewhere else. A more reasonable approach would be to have Chromium save the original compressed video to disk, and then use ffmp

It's an approximation, but if you don't do that, someone creating and updating a container in a loop (or intentionally running wget in a loop) will skew the statistics arbitrarily. I don't think there is a more precise way to

Presumably they can use Cloudflare or similar for free or relatively cheap, or perhaps find someone willing to gift CDN service to a Linux distribution. Redirecting the requests to the closest existing mirror also obviously drastically redu

They can host all the default mirrors themselves, either by serving the actual data (with a CDN) or by redirecting requests to a 3rd party mirror by GeoIP.

They and can should count users only by updates. Make a package that is required and only changed upon each release (containing for instance /etc/os-release) and count how many distinct IP addresses download it.

The reason is that most developers have no clue and/or no interest about performance, and so they only optimize where there's a user-visible problem, which means that the program will consume resources proportional to speed of the

That's not a regular expression and it's a ridiculously inefficient way to check for primality.

Seems to me a more reasonable threshold would be at most 10^-9 probability of the conclusion being false (in the Bayesian sense of course), with the prior chosen by the editor and reviewers (and the models being selected upon also being agr

What about people who, with their current habits, are on the bottom range of what is considered "normal" weight (in the BMI sense) or already underweight? Wouldn't taking GLP-1 agonists (for potential non-weight-loss benefits

That's obviously impossible since it would break backward compatibility and the users' existing filesystems (and the Linux kernel will rightly never accept anything like that). The only reasonable fix is to enhance bash and shell

A* with a consistent heuristic is Dijkstra on a modified graph whose edge weights are the original edge weights plus f(target) - f(source) where f is the A* "heuristic". If the heuristic is not consistent, the edge weights aren&#x

That would involve a 100x slowdown in most cases, without dynamic code generation. It's much better to compile multiple versions of the code or multiple binaries. Also, any OS kernel could do transparent emulation like that with no nee

The C library uses macros so that the referenced symbols are different depending on ABI (e.g. open becomes open64, etc.), but most 3rd party libraries don't bother with that, so they break if their API uses time_t/off_t.

You can make the struct generic on the type to have a field being an impl Trait type.

I wonder why they did this, thus revealing that they compromised a lot of devices and losing that capability, instead of quietly continuing to monitor them and using their location to perform attacks via other means if needed. Maybe they ho

What? They say: "ARC-AGI tasks are a series of three to five input and output tasks followed by a final task with only the input listed. Each task tests the utilization of a specific learned skill based on a minimal number of cognitive
