There are many examples in anquity. Greek had a flowering in the Bronze age, then a dark age, before classical Greek took over. The Hittites had a major disaster including the dest…

What's also annoying is that sizes of the same clothes change. I have a pair of jeans that I ordered on Amazon in 2020. It happens to fit me great. So recently I decided to order t…

How do we know the Cambridge Philosopher is conscious?

I don't feel his overflow miscompilation example is a good one. A 64bit multiplication converted back to 32bit has the same overflow behavior as if the computation was in 32bit (as…

Thats the pascal kernel in all its glory. Its just a bare metal hello world KernelMain(); [public name 'kernelMain']; begin consoleClearDisplay(); consoleSetAttributes(White, Black…

chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans evolved intelligence too. They are smarter than most other critters in the jungle. Just all not as much as the lineage that leads to humans. It's …

This is actually not correct for Starlink. They did a lot of work to lower their albedo based on astronomer complaints, even though there wasn't any government regulation in this a…

If you would spin the whole structure you couldn't have multiple shells all with 1G on their surface. The required spin speed for 1G depends on the diameter. But their whole concep…

There are also lots of extinct examples like Ichthyosaurs, Mosasaurs, Plesiosaurs Modern examples are saltwater crocodiles, sea turtles or sea snakes

I suspect for most cloud providers you deleting data is cheaper because the data is not charged by the byte. But then they like having data, maybe just to train their AI models or …

Does the really need reinforcement learning? It seems like something that classical controller should be able to do.

Wish openssh would take that presentation to heart instead of constantly breaking everyones setups with new keys.

It is hard to say what the effect will be: If it's true that these indirect costs only contain expenses closely related to the actual research then they can just move to the actual…

>Secondly, if you think any compiler is meaningfully doing anything optimal >>("whole program analysis") on a TU scale greater than say ~50kloc (ie ~10 files) >relative to compilin…

Lagos can't use starlink very much because starlink has limited capacity in any given area. The future sats might improve that a bit with more sats and more capacity per sat, and a…

Relevant HN comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18463181 Apparently their software development processes are terrible.

Pointer to that index? Quick google couldn't find it

If its one adult per 10 kids and they each pay 700 the child care is making 840k per kindergarden teacher. Assuming the adult makes 60k a year thats 780k of overhead. Where is it a…

They didn't necessarily need gold. For example in bronze/iron age trading it was common to use relatively standardized small bars of other metals for payment. These were not coins,…

"And people with severe mental health or substance use issues were screened out of the initiative" Just to keep in mind. I assume that's only some (small?) fraction of the homeless…

I assume there are various variants of bladder cancer depending on what mutations caused the cancer. Is it more likely that she could smell some particular common variant?

Just for comparison the LOCs for some other small C or C like compilers. It's not that far away from Ritchie's C4x86 | 0.6K (very close) small C (x86) | 3.1K Ritchie's earliest str…
