Would you disagree that, given the choice, a solution to every problem is strictly better than a solution so only some problems?

Pronounced like “groom” makes for a nice analogy with slimming down the model size too.

In his dissent [1], Justice Kavanaugh states: > Given that the phrase “adjust the imports”—again, in a statutory provision that did not use specific words such as “tariff ” or “duty”—was unanimously held by this Court in 1976 to include

Can an industry insider confirm this tracking? Interesting take, thank you. I hadn’t considered the privacy implications of tipping.

In my research I take notes exactly as described here. I use plain-text files, one per week, with dated sections using markdown-ish notation where convenient. Display is never a goal; approximately 80-char column plaintext is the target for

I recall a paper from many years ago (early 2010s) describing methods to estimate the camera motion and remove motion blur from blurry image contents only. I think they used a quality metric on the resulting “unblurred” image as a loss func

This is... hard to follow. You seem to be implying that Cloudflare is covering for USG's failed military op-sec surrounding a malicious BGP leak, and judging that this is such a bad action (on the part of Cloudflare) to undermine your

The scientific report is much more detailed: https://cdn.realfood.gov/Scientific%20Report.pdf I agree with siblings that nothing jumps out (to my non-expert eye) as "very extreme". EDIT: Removed long-winded snark

I’ve never heard of this. Are you saying I could enter “MyLocal Bank” as the payer name instead of my own when transacting online with a credit card? This seems like the kind of fact that should be essential privacy knowledge if true!

To be clear, I'm not disagreeing with antirez at all. I feel his argument in my bones. I am a smart programmer. I want simple, powerful systems that leave the kid gloves in the drawer. The unfortunate reality is that a large cadre of p

Thank you for the many tool links! You seems to know this space well. I have come to pick your brain for more. I have been searching for a while for good tools to split/regroup diffs in a patch series. hunk.nvim looks interesting. Do y

An underrated reason to remove eligibility testing is to make programs accessible for people in poverty. Navigating a means-tested welfare program is byzantine in the worst way-- accessing and submitting countless forms with confusing, ofte

I used Tcl at my very first internship for test automation. Coming from a self-taught Javascript/Java/C#/C++ background, Tcl really stretched my concept of what a programming language is, especially how it plays with stack fr

You’re right, shallowly — the quality of their implementation bears on these results. One could read this paper as Salesforce publicly weighing their own reputation for wielding existing tools with competence against the challenges they met

Certainly! The limit is your creativity. My first idea: generate very large scale 2D noise. Choose a threshold to divide it into regions. For each region, choose a direction of motion. Design a “mountain envelope” function that considers di

You're correct that the Supreme Court ultimately has final appellate jurisdiction on matters of immunity, but that's a long way from enabling dictatorship. To get there, we would need to assume that the Supreme Court, including on

That opinion specifically defers to lower courts to define the precise limits of the President's immunity. I refuse to believe that the collective effort of the judicial branch would construct those limits in a manner that enables dict

I'm no legal scholar, but sure, I'll elaborate as a layman. During the Presidency, impeachment and judicial review are the important checks. During the transition of power, state-controlled (as in, not federally controlled) electi

> Many good ideas have been destroyed by too-rigid applications This is an interesting perspective that I disagree with. You seem to be saying that a general misunderstanding or misapplication of a good idea degrades the idea to a point
