I recently changed my mind on this: being able to use phone numbers as identifiers also has some benefits: Last time I was on vacation, it was easy to get in touch with service pro…

> > The first part is true of all statistical models: To improve performance by a factor of k, at least k^2 more data points must be used to train the model. The second part of the…

Those are exciting news. Both for Rust and for the project -- I think that's a really cool direction. The web becomes more and more a commodity to execute code remotely, and I thin…

I thought that's exactly the point of Scientific Reports: to publish "reports" (i.e., not proper "papers") without caring about their impact or importance, as long as the science (…

No, it definitely isn't. Why is audio quality so much worse when I connect my headphones as headset instead of as audio-sink (even when I'm not speaking). Why is it so hard to conn…

So that's an order of magnitude more than what OP suggested and one less than what I suggested. But I still think that 100 is a more realistic estimate to get stellar results.

> So I decided to create Fun Facts about Ruby — volume 1. This volume contains 30 cards.[...] My goal is now to release a new volume per trimester. I can't help but wonder how sust…

Not one or two, more like one or two hundred. But otherwise: yeah.

No, it isn't. The b/v tradeoff is not the same thing. The efficiency of an estimator is a different from its bias.

This guy: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/James_Corbett ? I'm sorry, but that is nowhere close to a credible source

Sci-hub usually helps you get around paywalled research articles. Otherwise, maybe just drop the links you found here for posterity's sake?

Did I despise MS od the 90s and their business tactics? Sure. But wether he pays taxes on his philanthropic endeavors doesn't really matter, what matters is that they exist and do …

There isn't, but some of the proposed vaccines are entering (or very close to entering) phase 3, while this proposed inocculation by common corona viruses would have to start at ph…

> I'm still appalled that they know it causes blood issues and are not connecting the dots between that and the feet issues. I feel like you're jumping to conclusions prematurely. …

While the app might not be able to harm your phone, your grandma or daughter might not be as tech savvy and grant permissions more freely. Also, even though sandboxed, if you can d…

Arguably then, the documentation needs improvement. Most people learned the ropes on MS Word, and never bothered to unlearn habits/explore whatever else docs has to offer. So whene…

With its long incubation period and asymptomatic spreading, I don't see how sars-cov2 would benefit by becoming weaker.bthwre is little evolutionary pressure for it

After taxes, health care and Solidaritätszuschlag, your taxrate for 100k ist closer to 42% in Germany

Which ones would you recommend? The ones I've seen so far looked like extended bootcamps. Which I guess is fine if you're looking for CS knowledge. But lutise of that, any recommen…

I disagree with keeping fonts inline in the page. It means an additional 100kb per page at the very least. Which adds up very quickly. Remember that most of the world still doesn't…

Could you name a few companies in Berlin that pay "close to faang" level in Berlin?

They did, the papers behind their tech are published and available free of charge (someone else here linked to https://deepmind.com/research/publications/safe-exploration-... )

Maybe you feel out of place because you're thinking in terms of "alphas" etc., which to me sounds like a totally douche/"bro" thing to do. Most people I know that don't lift don't …

I don't see how the fact that he's a youtube engineer is relevant at all to this lsd-trip-gone-(very)-bad story
