Unnecessary is a very realistic world. For lots of people in cities or large portions of Europe, going without a car is much better.

The form of the data pretty much forces this kind of analysis because fault is not reliably recorded (or even known, to be fair).

Not only that, it's going to happen every year. Most achievements only happen once.

According to the data, not very many.

Not really. We have lots of examples now of their model doing what they say is impossible. Now we have another example of something that they say is impossible or very unlikely. Do we take their word for it this time? Really?

In fact, the entire outline of the proof is very similar to the external team's proof. Details may be different, but the use of a very similar tack is very suspicious. Combined with thuggish comments "why would you ruin your caree

Attested TLS has had some rough patches lately which can be attributed to making big changes to a complex protocol. It really better to separate the attestation, the check against policy and then the TLS stuff. Solve one problem at a time,

The link between attestation and the key is nicely made with TAS. TAS gives you a cert and Spiffe then requires a cert like that to give a SVID that you use as a certificate for mTLS. This means that the root of trust threads through softwa

I think that is the terms and conditions of the web site, not the hardware product.

It's a nit. They made a typo.

How do you decide who gets to roll the single die? Gee, you need a way to rank the players to decide.

by ted_dunning 13d ago
You can take the product of the permutations as the result. The only problem with that is that you need to pick an order to roll the dice in order to pick the order to rank the players. But happily, we have a set of dice that pick the order

In legal speak "please forgive me" is pronounced "so sue me!"

It's not nearly that simple. Apple used Google frontier models in training Siri, but Siri is not just a pass-through to Gemini.

It also depends on your law. In California, some companies still try to put these restrictions into contracts, but that contradicts state law so it has no legal effect. The intended effect is intimidation, however, which may work with som

It may well become a safeguard that all bots must speak in a much less inflected voice to remind us not to particularly trust them.

More correctly, the insight is that this computation is trivial after you expand it.

The hydraulic analog is that you can weigh a volume of water (which is the same as computing its volume) by adding up the forces on the surface surrounding the water. This looks like it requires a dot product with the normal vector for each

Coal is particularly bad about large scale contamination. Nuclear has historically involved substantial contamination in processing plants (Hanford, Paducah, Oak Ridge, Rocky Flats and so on). Solar, wind, and battery do not have comparable

Just a note ... "mechanical" royalties are publishing royalties payable when a duplicate is created. Back when the duplicate was sheet music or a record pressing that made sense linguistically. Nowadays, mechanicals are due when a

IF you dropped dead a decade later, it would be a fantastic trade-off. Vioxx was a long-term problem. Having that problem instead would be a great trade-off relative to untreated melanoma.

As the article says, some processors only have an instruction that produces 1 bit of quotient per cycle. This gives a variable time for integer division which can be longer than the time it takes to do a floating point operation. This sort

The visualization for the aisle seat is much less interesting than for the window seat. Maybe that's why they built what they built.
