    Its about the angle yes, but the main thing is basically for every square unit of solar radiation gets projected onto a larger surface because of the angle- meaning radiation per u…

    Would be really nice. Seems like even android is getting more and more locked down

    Yes, except for the odd anti-cheat that needs kernel level access

    Threadripper is a good alternative. No point having a lot of dual channel ram for LLMs, too slow

    In any functioning sports body testing is random and unannounced

    As long as you tune the JVM right it can be faster. But its a big if with the tune, and you need to write performant code

    Agreed. Also, it takes time to understand a domain properly- so the innate slowness of coding helps with letting things “simmer” in the back of the mind.

    I found swift way more enjoyable than rust as a C++ alternative. It even has first class-ish interop now.

    The sad part is the “buddy hackathon” is kind of redundant now

    I find this to be a bit “easy”. There is such a thing as bad tools. If it is difficult to determine if the tool is good or bad i’d say some of the blame has to be put on the tool.

    I assume these needs to be indications on overall diet. Edit: i.e a bacon eater consumes a higher than average caloric intake, hazelnut eaters have more greens/vegetables in their …

    The huge difference with f1 is that each team more or less make their own _bespoke_ car (except engine). With indycar is much more of a spec series where Dallara(?) makes the chass…

    A common pattern is to offload (most of) the expert layers to the CPU. This combination is still quite fast even with slow system ram, though obviously inferior to a pure VRAM load…

    1. Have you seen the Qwen offerings? They have great multi-modality, some even SOTA.

    Assuming your hardware premise is right (and lets be honest, nobody really wants to send their data to chinese providers) You can use a provider like Cerebras, Groq?

    > Valuation is not based on what they have done but what they might do Exactly what I’m thinking. Chinese models catching rapidly. Soon to be on-par with the big dogs.

    I genuinely do not understand the evaluations of the US AI industry. The chinese models are so close and far cheaper

    Did you mean list -> b? To my mind a transducer is a tranform + reducer

    Ive always found the silversearcher defaults (or perhaps -Q) to just work better. Any alias/config tips?

    This is really old now (I think 2000s) but even the jacks they lift the car with doesn’t drop with gravity alone - that’s too slow. They have some mechanism that actively drops the…

    Recently they’ve done some shenanigans with extension support. it seems to me like a change only for the worse?

    IMO it’s really hard to argue with the quality valve software is putting out. I can’t really name a game that isn’t considered a must play that they’ve made
