This is a fantastic use of the D-Wave technology and really highlights the ability to use annealing for a wide range of use cases. I'm definitely going to follow this development closely! It will be interesting to see how this works on

I've been seeing Mac folklore posted to HN recently - this is a fantastically well produced podcast that goes through folklore.org and other articles from the time period, with asides, tidbits, interviews etc. that help paint a picture

Well, if your system elastically uses GPU compute and needs to be able to spin up, run compute on a GPU, and spin down in a predictable amount of time to provide reasonable UX, launch time would definitely be a factor in terms of customer-p

Same here. It's barebones, but it's also cheap and plentiful on the used market, has enough functionality to be useful without being overwhelming, and fits easily in a backpack. Did some noodling around with it connected to my iPh

So go to the website and use it. Many of us simply find it as a way for more propaganda to be fed to us unasked-for when we open up a new tab (at least, until we remember to turn it off).

Some of us would love to work on a team like this. It would be nice to have the option. Your definition of "acceptable" might not actually result in teams that can take on the big challenges we face as a species as men who did fin

Correct. The availability of cheap credit + higher than normal resale values for vehicles of late has led to a situation where people are overextending themselves and buying vehicles that cost 80% or more of their yearly income in order to

Yes, if you have H.Pylori it can cause all sorts of problems, acid reflux, bad breath, gastritis, ulcers, etc. I'm no doctor but I have been tested for this in the past; I think it was just a blood test, nothing invasive, and it's

I'm no farmer, but I'm all ears! If you have dry useless soil and can't water it, does it not have some residual value as an export product? I suppose this is assuming that there's not going to be water in the future, an

Sounds like they should just start digging up and selling the soil, no?

There are real, usable, near-realtime Quantum Annealers, which are different from gate model quantum computers, but have proven to be much more amenable to physical implementation. These are more geared towards optimization functions, which

I'm not suggesting running your own mail server. Hosts like Hostineer do that for you. Setting up forwarding takes three seconds in a web UI.

by mikewave 4y ago
Sure, but unless your family is growing rapidly, it shouldn't be something you have to do very often.

by mikewave 4y ago
You can easily get hosting for ~$20/yr from classic web hosts like Hostineer and just set up email forwarding to people's personal Gmail and get the same functionality with a little bit more control and flexibility on your part.

Yes, have done DEB and RPM and Docker and Makefiles with `make install` and IMO the differences for a packager are pretty minimal and not worth having a holy war over. Anyone smart enough to manage one format can probably manage any of them

Worst part about discontinuing the Focus is that the Focus Electric went with it. Sure, it was a regulation-requirement car, but it drives well and does what city folks need; 100KM range is enough for most people's day. Works well as a
