The article makes no mention of changes to insurance claims.

My searches are mostly for esoteric error messages that I tweak a dozen times to get Google to stop returning unrelated results. Then I usually give up, get lunch, and the answer c…

True, bandwidth is a concern. It might be possible to copy memory directly from disk to the GPU, which may be more efficient.

Ultimately, the developers on Asahi are trying to play catch-up with massive GPU driver teams comprised of dozens of talented engineers. It’s not feasible to catch up, but I’d be h…

Bitmaps take memory, but are quite efficient from a runtime perspective because they aren’t encoded.

You still haven’t given an example of how coordinating the two agencies can lead to a bad outcome. If all that can be done is enforce the law, then there is no issue. You keep impl…

Having 10 officers beat an individual with clubs doesn’t exactly seem good either…

Normally people say that power is being wielded dangerously when the power is used to do something disagreeable. Simply enforcing the law correctly doesn’t seem dangerous to me.

This is just a small microcosm of what’s going on in the cable TV world. Many channels are raising their fees, but the cable providers are very reluctant to raise the price charged…

This would be more convincing if you had specific reasons, unrelated to the enforcement, that JPM shouldn’t be punished for this.

That’s not really an answer to the question. It would be nice if all situations could be de-escalated, but that’s obviously not the case. De-escalation also has its own risks for t…

How else would you subdue someone? You can’t expect all cops to be able to go 1-1 or even 2-1 with someone to subdue them physically. Cops also have guns strapped to their sides th…

Almost none of the reasons have anything to do with releasing the source. You can release the source but still maintain central control. They shouldn’t even have posted this. Obvio…

Why are they evil? Or at least more evil than humans? Humans have eradicated wolves almost everywhere due to the danger they pose humans, particularly children. How is this situati…

I think you’re generalizing way too much. Java is old. The libraries are old. There is a lot of bad old code out there, and very little glory in fixing it.

Maybe… but the article had an anecdote of asking Ian Goodfellow for ideas and none of those ideas working. I would assume Ian Goodfellow would have the requisite amount of experien…

This question was asked last time the author posted this few months ago. I’m surprised they didn’t update the benchmarks. Kind of makes me think Vaex is faster.

Mortality is often used when talking about the likelihood of dying.

You could write the above easily with a typewriter. The point isn't to use the most primitive method of writing possible. Rather, it's to acknowledge that writing on a computer has…

Your experience rings true to me. It's one of my biggest frustrations with ML at the moment. There are so many ideas I'd like to try, but I know only a small fraction of them will …

I don’t think this is a good analogy. Cars can get you long distances quickly. Having this ability means you can have suburbs outside of city centers, travel between cities in a da…

I’m not arguing. I was just highlighting that you could easily implement a json library that uses go generate instead of reflection. I was positing that such a library hadn’t been …

Hackers can easily get anyone’s phone number. Just Google phone number. There are so many data brokers out there happy to sell this information.

There is a more serious downside that you don’t mention: splitting things into modules takes time and involves making decisions you likely don’t know the answer to. When starting a…

Go could do something similar if you're willing to run `go generate` as part of your build process. For most Go applications, the reflection overhead is a fine price to pay for con…
