Those are multiple-choice questions. If some of them are "trick questions", where obvious answer (e.g. the value taken directly from question's text) is wrong, bad model might perform worse than a dice. On the other hand, not

Especially when the page source actually contains all the content (so no need to fetch it in JS), part of which is even presented in title.

Selecting parts of the code (in F7 mode or with SHIFT-LEFT/RIGHT) highlights which individual pixels corresponds to the actual letters.

No, I mean Visual Studio (the IDE), not Visual Studio Code (the editor).

Is there a way to use this (or similar) model in Visual Studio? Extensions on Visual Studio Marketplace are clunky and sluggish at best, if they even work at all.

If one node kept transmitting non-stop, it could push data out at 3.5kbps and no one else in that range can transmit at the same time. However, in EU there is a legal limit of 1% duty cycle on 868MHz band and collision avoidance mechanism,

Hard limit is 3.5kbps with 148dB link budget (Medium Fast preset in Meshtastic [1]). In practice - a packet worth of hundred bytes every half a second or so. [1] https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/radio-settings

> if you run it at the full 262144 tokens of context youll need ~65gb of ram What is the relationship between context size and RAM required? Isn't the size of RAM related only to number of parameters and quantization?

If RTL-SDR is a good reference - when demodulating FM it produces pretty much the same noise you'd expect from a mistuned oldschool radio.

by magnat 1y ago
The separate noise source is a bit of surprise here. Why is it necessary? Wouldn't RF noise produce same results?

Mostly for I/O, e.g. mmap requires file offset to be multiple of the page size.

It feels like an interpolated Street View imagery. There is one scene with two people between cars in a parking lot. It is the only one I have found that has objects you would expect to change over time. When exploring the scene, those peop

If your data/leaf/heap pages hold indexed cells PostgreSQL-style [1], 16-bit in-page offset limits your page size to 64KB. On the other hand, physical memory frame size usually is 4KB or larger, so going below that is not really p

C-like equality (==), inequality (!=) and assignment (=) is such a missed opportunity here. One could go with "=", "=/=" and "<-" here while both preserving some sanity and shock factor.

BetaFlight doesn't deal with over-the-air bits, it just receives PWM/PPM/S-Bus/whatever signals your receiver provides. There is no point to have encryption in firmware, because connection between RX and FC is hardwired

Lots of no-name or DIY drones use flight controller running a BetaFlight [1] firmware, which is open source and quite hackable. If you want low-level real-time programmatic control (like manipulating servos, lights or camera), that is most
