Can't have context if the file never loads.

This seems...wrong? Let's say you can control voltage, cross section area A. Now, you want a constant power across a load P = V * I. Your net resistance R is C + D * L / A where C …

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but if I insert all 32 bit keys, does that not take 32*2^32 space?

To be fair, I'm not sure if you can demodulate a 100MHz FM signal digitally. DSP at this frequency on an Arduino maybe be infeasible (you need a phase locked loop). I suppose if yo…

Wrong way to think about the problem. Lowering bits does not mean lowering model capacity. Its the opposite in fact - it allows you to you to fit more parameters.

This is not that relevant for ML. Each gradient pass will re-compute your cost function and the gradients so errors are not likely to accumulate. The main thing is to not make erro…

You want to ask the author to change the commit you are interested in and then review the diff to that commit. This is if course mostly valuable if you don't squash commits on merg…

That was my question to. 8cc is doing the heavy lifting of compiling C.

I wonder how well WPA3 fares here.

I think you can encrypt ethernet comms too using 802.1x RADIUS. That's as secure as Wi-Fi and removes the need for an isolated network (which, when unencrypted isn't as secure as y…

I don't know if this guy really cheated or not, but from my glance through I don't see even an explanation of the mechanism he would use to cheat OTB. But this is a cry wolf situat…

Presumably the point is to do something with i rather than just printing.

I don't understand this attitude. Who is the judge of what ideas are great and what ideas are idiotic?

> But sometimes, especially along the periphery, the right choice is to just make the change and be okay with perpetuating a bad pattern, if it is going to bring disproportionate b…

+1. You will find such positions often championed by people who don't understand how machine learning works - but maybe have tried out a fancy tool that used such a model (GPT-2, S…

You are selling SQL way short. SQL has stuck around because, compared to its complexity, it lets you do incredibly powerful things.

This blew my mind. Fantastic explanation.

Personally, I love cheesy dialogue in games like this.

You are mixing separate problems. People still bought 20M copies, that's a success in itself. That said people buying 20M copies of a "broken" game is certainly a depressing trend …

Compile time and non-optimized builds aren't what you want to consider when you care about code that's going to run across thousands of cores or ultra low latency work - those are …

It's hard to pull this off, if not impossible. A key attribute of proof of work systems is that the difficulty should be dynamically adjustable and that everyone has perfect consen…

Except that there's sooooo many instances of parents being abused by the "not-weak" to rent seek and prevent innovation outright.
