    Chrome has a browser extension API which allows plugins to access all cookies, but its use is considered suspicious and a red flag; an extension which uses it would generally get c…

    Revisiting this. Isn't it a bit of a red herring to enquire about the number of 2-faces that an n-simplex has? It still only has n+1 vertices. A 768-simplex may have 75.5 million f…

    I believe the answer is: (n+1)!/((k+1)!*(n-k)!) where n=768 and k=2 Or about 75.5 million triangular faces. Which explains a lot. Thanks for that.

    > The real problem is that in dimensions that high, the point set probably already is the hull and all this is a zero signal gain operation. Well, if I have 10,000 samples of a 768…

    I've been trying to use convex hulls to explore ML embedding spaces. However, the dimensionality (768+ dimensions) seems to crash established options like QHull[0], even with 64GB …

    Check out TIZIP SuperSeal zipper -- it was used on some "dry suits" I wear for offshore sailboat racing in cold-water environments and is truly water-proof. It's advertised to be w…

    Could you pirate the database, then hide behind the fifth amendment to not reveal that you're a pirate while simultaneously asserting that you never agreed to any EULA? I'm not sur…

    Your service helped me immensely when I was getting started with machine learning, but had no budget and just a laptop. For me, everything “just worked”, and I learned a ton about …

    Indeed. The old MacAddict magazine shipped a CD with every issue. The CD contained loads of shareware/games/utilities/productivity software etc. The CD also had a folder named "upd…

    Correct. To be pedantic, there is a built-in 16kB ROM starting at address 0x00000000 with RPi's open-source BootROM burned into it at the time the silicon is manufactured. There's …

    In fairness, many of these will end up in consumers hands shortly after a bit of additional value-add. On the bare-bones side, that's things like JLC PCB stocking them for pro-hobb…

    This could be incredible for us. We've been facing the same shortages of various STM32 ARM MCU's as everyone else, but most (all?) of our designs could theoretically be replaced wi…
