I was robbed at a gas station in Jersey City and the police retrieved the airtagged backpack in 20 minutes. The police was fantastic.

I think it would be more effective if US establishes deterrence against punitive fines of its companies.

If Italians have no influence over AGCOM, then who does?

I don’t see what the benefit of most of that is, and why publication fees are a good way to pay for it. Take video recordings: why should we pay for them to develop a video hosting platform when perfectly good ones exist? In fact, conferenc

The peer review is all done by volunteers of conferences, not ACM.

That isn't the case. Conferences organize their own website to submit articles for review. Volunteers from the conference pre-filter submitted articles for spam, the rest is handled by the review committee. There is no cost to submit.

This is good, but they're now charging authors a publishing fee of over $1000 per article (and they say that that is the discounted price). It is unclear whether this is justified. In my experience publishing scientific articles with A

3blue1brown actually shows the usefulness of formalism. The videos are great, but by avoiding formalism, they are at least for me harder to understand than traditional sources. It is true that you need to get over the hump of understanding

That's the point, the regulation effectively locks in USB-C as it is.

The type of reasoning by the OP and the linked paper obviously does not work. The observable reality is that LLMs can do mathematical reasoning. A cursory interaction with state of the art LLMs makes this evident, as does their IMO gold med

What does this predict about LLMs ability to win gold at the International Mathematical Olympiad?

USB-c is absolutely not good enough. The connectors are often incompatible due to tiny manufacturing tolerances, cables from different manufacturers often fall out of the port after longer term use, don't make good connection so you ha

There should be no need whatsoever to convince your competitors and/or bureaucrats that allowing your new connector to be produced is in their interest. Only one should be convinced: the person buying the device.

This visualization is wildly inaccurate. The supposed 1000 pixels are actually 100x100 pixels, which is 10,000 not 1000. Secondly, on many screens they are not actually pixels. For example, on a macbook pro you're likely seeing 40,000

Money is not "hidden" or "hoarded" in tax havens, nor does hoarding money affect the economy negatively. Taxation is necessary for infrastructure (though that is actually a small fraction: about 3% of US federal taxes go

How does it hurt investment? Those tiny nations are only helping eliminate an inefficient form of taxation. The main problem is that only multinationals can make use of it.

Yes and that is bad, because cartels are bad. Competition between political systems is good, for much the same reason that competition between companies is good.

How would the incentives of that work?

A minimum tax is a bad idea. Taxes tend to creep up, and the main pressure against that is for companies or people to leave.

I don't understand how east-west arrays differ much from just a flat area. At the end of the day, don't they capture all sunlight in some large square? The east-west array only captures a bit differently around the outer edges. Ca

The universe is already modeled that way. Differential equations are a kind of continuous time and space version of cellular automata, where the next state at a point is determined by the infinitesimally neighboring states.

Nice post. Would the larger amount of code result in different performance in a scenario where other code is being run as well, or would the instruction cache be large enough to make this a non-issue?
