    What would be the point of embedding Redis into an application? What's the advantage of using Redis over using the builtin (or third party) data structures of the language the appl…

    Using this sampling-based approach you get correct covariance modeling for free. You have to only sample leaf values that are used in multiple places once per evaluation, but it lo…

    Yes, the `regex` crate is also the regex engine used by ripgrep, both were developed by https://github.com/burntsushi .

    Out of curiosity, why are you still using 32-bit architectures?

    That switch-case gets optimized and compiled down to logic gates by the synthesis tools. It'll be a different set of gates from the original netlist (which might also have used a m…

    Matlab is one language that chooses the second. Every assignment a=b where b is a matrix creates a distinct copy of the matrix. The interpreter is slightly more clever and instead …

    Look like this was generated by an LLM.

    It means that instead of (only) doing convolution in spatial dimensions, it also(/instead) happens in the temporal dimension. A good resource for the "instead" case: https://unit8.…

    Could you share the paper(s) about "backdoors" in physical constants? That doesn't make much sense at first sight.

    Sure, it's all slightly fuzzy. I don't think that detracts much from the my point though.

    Interesting, what could power companies use this for? Checking for overgrown power lines? Checking for roofs to place solar panels one?

    Could you share the repo? I've been curious what nontrivial parsers look like woth nom, I always lose the overview pretty quickly.

    It's important to note that these probe models are very simple - they're "trained" by just doing a linear regression between the hidden activations and the desired output. This mea…

    What value does this label have for English localization?

    Comment #37432706

    That sounds interesting, can you give some examples? Is this limited to classical RL Q-learning type stuff for turn based games, or full AlphaStar-level agents for RTS games?

    I'm not an expert, but some thoughts: * The problem with large vectors is that they have large dot products with every other vector, which would imply that they are more similar to…

    That sounds interesting, what does the JVM do for tree structures and linked lists? Is that just about compacting memory?

    Tokio is using the Rust async features, which are not green threads. In the former code has to explicitly mark potential yield points, in the latter green threads can be scheduled …

    Yes, a perfect recording of the amplitude of a function at a frequency of at least 2B contains enough information to perfectly reconstruct that function. Reaching this frequency is…

    They're talking about the fact that recompiling the rustc compiler itself is very complex and resource intentisive. That may not actually be a problem though, since the current com…
