> how did they come up with that 2600mAh figure. The same capacity corresponds to different mAh at different voltages, maybe they are playing games with that.

Apple is already past that, with the entry-level 17e starting at 700 Euro. The midrange regular 17 starts at 950 Euro. And according to rumors those prices are likely to increase in spring if not earl…

Microservices are about separate deployment. Regarding separating the development/maintenance of components, you can achieve that in a monolith by composing it out of corresponding modules/…

Your argument in that quote is completely unclear. Why do you believe that deep understanding is going to become a commodity soon? How would that happen?

All common logging backends create a LogEvent or similar object for each logging call, and logging calls also typically construct new strings, which usually means a new StringBuilder object, its inter…

Copyright protects original forms of expression, not arbitrary data. It is very arguable whether it applies to model weights. However, it would likely constitute a license violation.

It would be easy to adjust the radius so that the area increase is proportional to the temperature increase.

When saying “6 = 9 mod 3”, the “mod 3” is changing what “6” and “9” are referring to: they are now referring to the equivalence classes modulo 3 that 6 and 9 respectively belong to, and the statement …

I like this, but to play the devil’s advocate: How does that mesh with usually having just one giant overhead light (the sun) outdoors?

That would create much more chaos, because every region autonomously decides on its timezone(s). You'd have different countries and/or timezones using different leap second counts.

It’s funny the EU hasn’t designated Cloudflare as a Gatekeeper yet.

It may be good enough to make me more productive, but only because I don’t relent on ensuring that the code is well-reasoned. Indeed, I don’t experience that when I do relent.

I don’t think that the logical reasoning ability of LLMs depends on the abstraction level. Their heuristic knowledge differs between levels, but that’s a different thing. My concern is the reasoning c…

What’s interesting to me is reasoning about the problem and its implementation. And that doesn’t stop at any abstraction level. Reasoning in the small is just as important as reasoning in the large.…

Not sure if they meant that, since the “awful” was referring to the original loop that had no x, but the generic solution in that case is: for (size_t i = size; i—- > x;) …

It works perfectly fine for size = 0?

People are doing something (e.g. [0][1][2]). That’s why Chat Control 2.0 hasn’t passed and is unlikely to pass in the foreseeable future. [0] https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/post…

“Chat Control”, along with the version numbers, is a naming invented by the opponents, not by the proponents.

It decreases legibility by breaking the norms of written communication. That makes it distracting and annoying to read, and makes me want to not engage with it. It’s like talking to someone face-to-fa…

The N100 supports "In-band ECC" (IBECC), which uses regular non-ECC RAM at the cost of less available memory and a 10-20% performance drop. It’s unclear how well it works, and almost nobody …

DDR5 on-die ECC is to achieve acceptable yields in the face of denser process nodes that decrease the reliability of RAM cells. It’s not clear how much of an improvement that is to what we had before,…
