actually recycling steel is not 100% lossless in that everytime you decrease purity which leads to a point where the still can only be used in low grade products. building materials is usually one of the low tiers though.

You use case is exactly what hedy tackles, your experience is really similar to what the author of Hedy tells in conference and interviews.

good article, but I am very bother by the "standard basis"... it's called canonical in math. I don't think standard is the right name in any context.

This dev seems really inexperienced and has weird uninformed takes. The "functional vibe" but it's just using boolean logic, the "reference in a table" bugs that would happen in any language but C, the ignorance of

How to define "floating freely" is not easy to define. The potential energy surface of gravitation extends in 1/r wgich makes it a long range interaction. So if the earth attraction is small enough that you want to neglect it

It works better when there is some viable alternative. Research job market is terrible in Europe right now because our governments are trying to make a US like system (project driven and without stability) but without putting the money. The

> Seems like a good opportunity for other countries to recruit scientists. would be if any other country actually put money in research... Well there is China, but in Europe we already have more PhD than research position.

You have to distinguish the actual research from what is relayed by the article. These people are looking for proofs existence of a theoretical objects, the primordial black holes. Finding them would: 1. add proofs to the validity of the cu

I assume the driving of choosing low er level architectures over this sort of "smart" CPU was the overall complexity of the chip, but since the 80' with been piling so much abstraction and complexity that there is nithing &qu

Boomer facebook is filled to the brim with bad AI generated stuff and people actually buying it, so... maybe you're sample is biased.

I know you don't have a lifetime access to institutional email adress, but using a fake address is so counterproductive. You're only going to claim the paper once, and yuh ou should do it while you have access to your email. Then

But it's a very difficult problem. Am open forum offers a platform to troll and misinformation. You could pretend that the community will be able to filter this out but I seriously doubt this project is equipt to fight against bots

This seems unlikely because LLMs don't produce high quality code, they produce average code. So they don't contribute to a better dataset, they contribute to a narrower dataset around the average. LLM tend to self poison, not to s

Everyone need to stop comparing Nim with Python. Nim is closer to pascal, and the only thing it shares with Python is indentation base syntax. It doesn't have the expressivity and flexibility of Python. It's a nice language, but t

Obviously it's not about the 0.1% that are athletes, but about the 0.01% that are making big money out of it. And the one caring for those are the one governing us.

so a 5x speedup from using 8x threads? I am not convinced this couldn't be achieved with numpy+multiprocessing ( or even maybe threading sinc numpy releases the GIL I think)
