    These are extremely high prices. In Texas, we pay 12-15c.

    The story is actually quite interesting. The Serbs observed that a nighthawk would routinely fly the same route but their radar couldn’t lock on it unless the missile hatch were op…

    This seems to be incorrect. The correct way to combine measurements with various degree of precision is to use the inverse variance weighting law

    Large cloud providers could offer that solution but then, crawlers can also change cycle IPs

    Can you expand? What is “poison” referring to? Surely, burning coal as Germany’s current pace can’t be seen as a success, can it?

    This is not how it works. The interviewer knows 1-2 problems and there is no time for profiling since they are rushing through their day, probably focused on their day to day work.…

    Note that it's not done for performance reason but rather to generate clear feature maps.

    Interestingly, FAISS does exactly that before doing Product Quantization and it works very well (errors are much lower compared to no rotation). They call it “optimal PQ”. During t…

    I actually think war driving progress is a strong argument. Not to use any obvious examples (e.g. internet), I would argue war has a profound effect on the psyche of nations (wheth…

    The ability for the government to spend money it doesn’t have doesn’t cease to amaze. The deficit was $1.6T last year (over 5% of the GDP) but 2024 is starting strong.
