That’s normal evolution, go ask a biologist about junk DNA.

Do votes affect conversation at all in here? I just tend to ignore them.

I just saw someone else posting a similar statistics, but the number was 75%. Not sure about the reliability of such polls.

I’m not an expert in polling, but 1000 people seems like a minuscule number to me.

A random sample is one in which everyone in the population has an equal chance of being selected. Sample sizes regularly consist of over 1,000 respondents.

In fact, they’re not complaining about not selling American cheese. They are complaining they are not allowed to copy European products and then sell those as European.

Recently happened that I was asked to fix a problem in a thing for some collaborators. It was quite some time I didn’t look at this thing, but I opened it and fixed it.

Apparently we had 3 of those things and I fixed the wrong one. Oh well, went on vacation the following day and eventually got to fixing it a couple weeks later.

Nobody died.

We are however using the same tools from the 90s.

Hey man, take this data, clean it up and load it in your Linux machine. Do some parameter optimisation and variable selection on a set of different models, among which also include a neural network. Then come back with a strategy to perform sensible model selection and comparison.

You can go back further if you remove the constraint on using Linux.

Tools were there, TBF I have seen MATLAB libraries from back then who were much better than your current scikits and the likes.

Quantum computing would be revolutionary in certain fields. It could completely change certain calculations we do. I do run stuff that takes weeks while using several GPUs, that could plausibly be done much much faster with quantum computers. Accurate and complete quantum algorithms for such calculations are not yet available, but I know there is people working on it and making progress.

What we’re missing is the computers. Kinda difficult to do all this quantum computing when you have no quantum computer. Or when your quantum computer has like 8 qbits and after 100 operations all you get is noise.

Regarding the latest article by that guy on this subject, it seems like this is the last article.

The ‘after you’ gesture in a bird

Wow, this guy loves tits!

Looking at the last author, this seems to be the last article on this subject. OpenAlex is a decent tool in my opinion to check this kind of things and it is freely accessible. Web of Science allows for more complex queries, but in most cases those are not really necessary.

Unsung Songbirds: Advances in the Study of Corvid Communication

He did not make clear he doesn’t want AI slop in the kernel, but he always made clear he’ll rather kill you rather than pull your slop into the kernel. I believe he said he doesn’t care too much whether programmers will use AI to contribute to the kernel because he assumes that will undoubtedly happen. Code shall be pulled into the kernel evaluating the quality of the code itself rather than the coding process.

What even is the objective of doing this?

I read it three times perfecting his voice, then I read your comment.

I travelled a lot and met people from a lot of countries. Plenty of them were stupid. The country from where I met most stupid people is the USA, both in quantity of people and in how stupid they can be. They win over any other country by a very large margin.

It’s not 2006 anymore

Not really, if disrupted it would just bring down SSL encryption, which wile important it is not critical for the services to work.

Besides, if the block perdured more than a few days, people would switch quickly, I guess within a week, to other services.

It is not something I’m too worried about.

I mean, it’s your house and not a product you’re selling. After a couple weeks you likely know which switch does what. Whenever a host comes you can show them the switches.

Seems very cool!

Now that I’ve seen this I’d really like something like this but to manage HPC queue managers like slurm and the such remotely.

Not Valve, they were busy working on HL3.
