In my own experience with data science work: On multiple occasions I’ve seen noticeable accumulated rounding error crop up by the end of a cumprod over very long timeseries of floa…

Graphics drivers roulette Will this update get me over 30 fps, or break my ability to boot into a GUI? There's only one way to find out ;)

Excellent catch! I had to go back and take a second look, because I completely missed that the first time.

This is a really neat idea! I never thought about taking emissions into account when provisioning infrastructure. Only a small subset of my cloud workload is performance sensitive.…

Oh yeah totally agree, I was thinking of the king as separate from the pieces. If a lone king cannot move, that changes the dynamics considerably.

Interesting. Hmmm, I have to think this through. I believe that if the game followed normal chess rules, except for replacing the pieces with queens, then games where the captures …

I tried to find some way for white to force a win, but no obvious forcing sequences jumped out at me. Like you said, "I don’t see one, but do not rule out one, either."

Python package management infrastructure and tooling works fine for me, and I use python frequently. There is a relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1987/

I use a few different distros on a routine basis. Out of those, Ubuntu would probably be the best fit - it generally works right out of the box, the UI is intuitive for day-to-day …

edit: nevermind, it's sage code not python code

> I suspect what's happening is they've got some rule against the word "spectrum" or something I've avoided this by using only the first few and/or last few letters of the service …

This is awesome, I had no idea about my total move count and puzzle stats. If you're already logged into Lichess, you can go straight to your own recap here: https://lichess.org/re…

Nice find! I was able to reproduce this. https://chatgpt.com/share/675518bd-7044-800e-992a-c0b3c49b9b... The response is extremely similar, though not quite verbatim.

Yep I found this approach works great. I have a personally-owned domain name connected to my [paid] account with a smaller email provider. The domain is managed at a large well-kno…

You might enjoy learning Lean, which is a functional programming language specifically for theorem proving. You can tackle interesting types of questions, and it is actively used i…

Back in 2018 I spent a week or two messing around with this idea, and produced a hacky proof-of-concept.[1] It's not intended for real-time or production use, I just made a prototy…

For personal correspondence, I've exclusively used Proton Mail for the last 7 years or so. I have been happy with it, no plans to change. I migrated from Gmail, and initially set u…

In addition to what others have mentioned, I find it really helpful to temporarily switch my IDE to high-contrast light mode, when working outside in bright conditions. Otherwise I…

Politely mentioning that you don't want to work on holidays could be a great answer if they ask why you're looking to change companies. You could just say something like: "I'm look…

If you want an answer from the model itself instead of search results, you can frame it like: "Without looking anything up, " For example: (today, GPT-4) > "Who won the physics Nob…

Note that at time of writing the “ask the code” plug-in does well with describing repo structure, but hallucinates file contents (I tested it on one of my own repos)

Just find one or two temp agencies in your area - they’ll probably get you placed into the type of gig you want quickly, and there will be no expectation for long term commitment. …
