This seems...wrong? Let's say you can control voltage, cross section area A. Now, you want a constant power across a load P = V * I. Your net resistance R is C + D * L / A where C and D are constants and L is your cable length. I

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but if I insert all 32 bit keys, does that not take 32*2^32 space?

To be fair, I'm not sure if you can demodulate a 100MHz FM signal digitally. DSP at this frequency on an Arduino maybe be infeasible (you need a phase locked loop). I suppose if you used a bandpass + low pass filter you can pull it off

Wrong way to think about the problem. Lowering bits does not mean lowering model capacity. Its the opposite in fact - it allows you to you to fit more parameters.

This is not that relevant for ML. Each gradient pass will re-compute your cost function and the gradients so errors are not likely to accumulate. The main thing is to not make errors big enough that you end up in a completely different part

You want to ask the author to change the commit you are interested in and then review the diff to that commit. This is if course mostly valuable if you don't squash commits on merge. Otherwise, the extra rebase work isn't that val

That was my question to. 8cc is doing the heavy lifting of compiling C.

I think you can encrypt ethernet comms too using 802.1x RADIUS. That's as secure as Wi-Fi and removes the need for an isolated network (which, when unencrypted isn't as secure as you think, e.g. MiTM). Ideally you connect via both

I don't know if this guy really cheated or not, but from my glance through I don't see even an explanation of the mechanism he would use to cheat OTB. But this is a cry wolf situation - I would be surprised if there isn't som

Presumably the point is to do something with i rather than just printing.

I don't understand this attitude. Who is the judge of what ideas are great and what ideas are idiotic?

+1. You will find such positions often championed by people who don't understand how machine learning works - but maybe have tried out a fancy tool that used such a model (GPT-2, Stable Diffusion, etc). Classic example of "any suf

You are selling SQL way short. SQL has stuck around because, compared to its complexity, it lets you do incredibly powerful things.

You are mixing separate problems. People still bought 20M copies, that's a success in itself. That said people buying 20M copies of a "broken" game is certainly a depressing trend - same with people supporting games riddled w

Compile time and non-optimized builds aren't what you want to consider when you care about code that's going to run across thousands of cores or ultra low latency work - those are the cases where you should be considering C++ in t

It's hard to pull this off, if not impossible. A key attribute of proof of work systems is that the difficulty should be dynamically adjustable and that everyone has perfect consensus on what "work" is. Doing meaningful work,

> They realized suckers will pay insane amounts for the cards, even disregarding prior crypto. Press X to doubt. People are PISSED, and the 30 series is already excellent value. 4090 will sell but I have my doubts on the 4080 (esp 12 GB)

Crop rotation is agriculture 101 at this point. A diversity in crops being grown could very well lead to higher yields overall, including that of rice and wheat, even if they are not grown as often.

It's not about creating demand. It's about creating wild swings in demand AND supply. Miners buy en masse when profitable and sell when not. That's what messes up the market. Gamers won't do that.

I would like to see independent benchmarks for 4090 before making judgements. "2-4x" as claimed over 3090 Ti is not a small bump.
