While this font looks kind of weird up close, I found it great for creating plots. It’s my default choice in matplotlib rcParams.

It also syncs config and plugins

This reminded me of Elixir’s GenStage at first glance. Now I wonder how the underlying libs OTP and core.async relate conceptually and implementation wise.

I guess the issue is having to store the intermediate state somewhere. It’s true for the PID example that numerical integration is easier to compute - if you look at the comment wi…

> If a company decides to lay off, for instance, 40 employees, German law doesn’t prevent this. At least this part is partially wrong. There is an entire law about how lay offs are…

No, they could literally not send on the frequencies they listen on in case of FDD. Enabling this would require extra radio hardware. Also there would need to be a some kind of enc…

They are not entirely orthogonal. You need a central base station with scheduling, high dynamic range and power control to maximize performance in an OFDM system. In addition, most…

You can cast video e.g. from the QuickTime app or a tag in the browser too which won’t just mirror your screen. In fact the cast video won’t even show on your device’s screen but o…

“That means the conventional predictions are largely inference—and worse, they result in unquantified uncertainty.” Wild claim given the fact that Gaussian process regression / Kri…

That’s one way to frame it. The other would be the candidate being able to understand that the “apart from money” part is implied in the question and the answer given the social co…

Maybe “an automated thing that moves to do stuff”. Generally there are manipulators and mobile robots like vacuums. An interesting edge case would be a CNC machine which has degree…

The German federal government alone will pay 1.28 billion Euros to Microsoft until 2025 [1] so I’m pretty sure they do care about their government contracts. [1] https://amp.zdf.de…

I don’t think commonly used LLM architectures have internal state that carries over between inference steps, so shouldn’t that be none? Unless you mean the previously generated tok…

You could also use a single receiver with a small antenna array (GPS wavelength is around 20 cm) to estimate the angle of arrival of the incoming signals.

I’m listening to some podcasts published through Acast and 95% of the time, my injected ads are about how I don’t have to listen to said ads if I buy Amazon prime.

I appreciate the build step in setups like Vite/Vue because the development server can automatically and accurately hotpatch the application when I make changes. I don’t think you’…

The subscriptions page can’t be filtered to show some subset/group of channels. I use PocketTube as a plugin-based alternative.

FWIW regex are also a DSL for finite state machines acting on strings, so in that light it’s a straightforward jump

I had similar issues with the Dask scheduler a few months ago. The docs say it encourages depth first behavior in the computation graph but in my case it kept running out of memory…

I’m not familiar with the Python lib but it could be waiting for streams to acknowledge each message reception/persistence before sending the next one. Some clients allow transacti…

From a European perspective: regulation is just catching up. Risk assessment and safety frameworks have been established and (non-autonomous) beyond line of sight operations are sl…

If it’s just off the coast as in “territorial waters”, there’s the concept of innocent passage in international law ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocent_passage ) - although th…

Wouldn’t {excuses} be reverse engineering all of Lightroom’s adjustment tools to be able to develop the same picture from a given pair of raw and sidecar files?

Another possibly related difference is the training managers get. There are military careers where you know on day one which leadership responsibilities you will take several years…
