They also said that theur hardware scales faster than Moore's law, when in reality it is way slower than Moore's law. Which I guess at least is a good thing for hyperscalars because it helps with their decision to write off their

An autonomous car in front of me can still act in a way that I or my car can't predict, as long as we haven't eliminated humans and animals completely from being anywhere near roads.

Seems I got terms confused. Thanks for clearing that up.

A line of constant bearing will always be a great circle. A straight line on a mercator projection of the earth does not constitute a great circle (in fact only the equator line is a great circle and each vertical line is half of a great ci

Once a hash table has outgrown all caches, it should have linear performance. It's just that caches accelerate it at sufficiently small sizes.

Arguments I heard that make no sense to me: - Autonomous cars will improve traffic because stopped cars can start going at the same time at an intersection -> Then you have no safety distance. And while theoretical improved reaction time

Well said. I would say in general there isn't "the best" OS for everyone and never will be, because each OS makes different trade-offs. I for one want primarily what is understood to be "general purpose computer". O

It would still be a (albeit convenient for google) bug, as the setting indicates closing all windows as the trigger for deletion.

The misspelling seems to be consistent (>200 times), though it seems like a quite common one. A 1982 DOS game was even titled "Missle Strike", long before Metroid was released.

It will contain the same or different syntax with or without it. Also multiple runs without DFlash2 will contain the same or different syntax. And multiple runs with DFlash2 will have the same or different syntax with the same probability.

It is usually 10-15s per month. And the annoying thing is you have to notice it and I prefer a watch that I don't have to double check.

If you assume that the RNG generates true randomness, then the two are identical. Only if you care about the determinism of the RNG (for example you want to use identical seeds and get the exact same generation between the two) it makes a r

I recently thought I could probably go back to a not-smart watch to not have to charge the watch all the time, but I don't want to deal with setting the time regularly either due to quartz drift and dst. So a bluetooth watch with two y

Not OP, but you can influence how deterministic your LLM behaves using the temperature setting. The neural network doesn't directly output tokens, but logits which are then converted to probabilities and then a token is chosen at rando

There is a native reasoning effort setting. It defaults to xhigh, I guess to get the best benchmark results, but you can just run it on medium or low instead, or for simple things even disable thinking outright.

Makes sense. The only exception - tail call optimization where no (new) return address is pushed - relies on cleaning up the stack before executing the tail call.

So what if several functions that use less than 4KB each call each other before using the stack variables in a way that the first access skips over one page?

I don't know if an optimization is allowed to "invent" a write, but I would be surprised if an optimizer goes that far because I have to believe that the number of cases where more writes improve performance are pretty slim.

Funnily I can't reproduce the effect at all. I am using Firefox and with sidebar the content of the page centers on the remaining viewport width, like any other site does. I have also tested with Edge, same result. With Edge's aut

817 kWh here. Though june last year was the record at 904 kWh. Maybe the effect is that solar panels lose efficiency when too hot.

No, I don't know if they do and honestly this isn't why I wrote what I wrote. But what if I don't want to buy anything from them? I want to de-google and my only choice seems to be to have a device with a google logo on it th

The whole GrapheneOS thing is a bit of a joke. So you either have to buy google hardware or you run google software. Anyway, looking forward to the widespread introduction of Wero. Maybe there will be some options for third party roms in th

I think you were able to buy VS Pro perpetual licenses for one time 500-1000 at all times. Of course they had higher tiers and a subscription model which were more expensive but in reality for most people there was little to no added value.

I strongly suspect that the horizontal and the vertical strength are not perpendicular. I suspect having a very wide knowledge gives you access to patterns that reproduce across fields that an expert would lack.

I think the point is that: 1. Yes Windows must have "approved" the drivers 2. Windows Update runs automatically and not (usually) manually 3. Automatic update can't even be disabled, only manually postponed a bit At least 2 a

Obviously nobody is incentivized to do that. Nothing to see here.

Possible. Though I think open source innovation of hobbyists is currently hampered, because of open weights releases by chinese labs. I believe once the labs stop doing this, a globally coordinated open source ecosystem will fill the gap.
