    The manufacturer obviously, but they can sell the car in the first place because this defect risk is quantifiable for their liability insurance provider, who can evaluate how risky…

    The way I always remember leftmost and rightmost binary search (the C++ equivalents-ish of lower_bound and upper_bound) is to always have a "prior best" and then move the bounds ac…

    If this sounds like you, I highly recommend reading "The Problem of the Puer Aeternus". You can definitely skip a lot of the tedious bits where the author essential copy-pastes oth…

    I understand the sentiment, but disagree with the solution. PKMs can be overwhelming if someone nerdy enough to use one ends up using it ineffectively. The way I do it that I find …

    It's basically like having N of the most prolific LoC producing colleagues who don't have a great mental model of how the language works that you have to carefully parse all of the…

    It still seems to have the problems most other LLMs suffer with except Gemini: it loses context so quickly. I asked it about a paper I was looking at (SLOG [0]) and it basically lo…
