If a model demonstrates being good by winning on prediction markets I may want to ask the same model questions which are too niche to have markets. That said I don't know if niche …

Yes, exceptions should be written into the law in the first place. I assume the government is very comfortable with getting to draw the line themselves.

I happen to come from that part of the world where something radically different has been tried out, and will also tell you capitalism is good (considering the alternatives).

Technical nit: if average is 48 hours, median cannot possibly be higher than 96 hours.

How are you so sure? Is the environmental impact of the pet rocket program of his really so significant?

Also at top of the list: “We care about your privacy” (and not that we are required by law to give you these options that follow)

Although you can use a lot of latex commands to enter math, which is useful when you are starting with texmacs after exposure to latex

Why would the commentators have a stake in the matter?

Does anyone have a link perhaps to an archived mirror?

Well now write that with E-Prime

Don't they, really? I was under the impression that they do implement OS-level sandboxing and the ban on JIT/arbitrary execute is another level of security.

Regarding the FTL acronym: "To hide the complexity of SSD internals, the controller usually contains a piece of software called an FTL (Flash Translation Layer); the FTL provides t…

“saneyaml” would not make for bad PR

The question is about design of chips, not manufacturing. That is quite the difference in the market that has developed.

To nitpick here: You need less than kilogram of electrons to screen a kilogram of protons (roughly 2 grams it seems)
