You’ll find that the number of ways to shuffle a card pack (52!) is about 8 × 10⁶⁷, so even if your RNG returns 64 bits, you can’t use a single call.

Also, you’ll have to make sure you pick each permutation is picked with equal probability. random() % factorial(52) likely won’t work because your RNG won’t return integers in a range k × 52! for some k > 1 (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10984974/why-do-people-s...)

I was asking beacause a friend of a friend has the similar condition after catastrophic motorbike crash. He spent a month on a medical bed and then had to learn walking again. During that, he had to rest a lot after a minute of walking. I can't believe that COVID can make the same near-death effect on a body.

Note: I had mild-to-serious COVID myself with severe fever and 12% of lungs damaged, and was literally one day from rushing to the hospital. 0/10 will not recommend, had to fight with after effects, but nothing even near what you or OP described.

Yes, but that means the the scheme as a whole is valuable, not that a loss can rightly be called a "valuable commodity". See the follow-up[1].

This is like those Saturday morning commercials that say Cocoa-puffs is part of a balanced breakfast, and tyring to explain that by asserting how each component, including the Cocoa-puffs, is balanced. That's not how it works, the aggregate property is not piecewise reducible.

Sure, but you do need to take into account that often fitting a neural network consists of finding the maximum likelihood estimate. So from a Bayesian perspective you're ignoring the prior and you risk overfitting by not considering anything but the most likely alternative. Most attempts to avoid overfitting do not really translate well to the Bayesian perspective.

You can actually recover from this a bit. I saw a paper once where they used the Hessian to approximate the posterior as a gaussian distribution around the maximum likelihood. Can't remember what this paper was called unfortunately.
Also intrigued as to whether this could be a cause. I'm certainly not opposed to adding one, but I'd be surprised if it was necessary. But I'm here to learn!
Ah, I'm slow. Thanks

“Real users” is rather sterile when users were asking for mental health assistance in the form of emotional support.

Trying ChatGPT on a user base isn’t inherently bad. Doing so without their knowledge isn’t inherently bad.

This makes me think of something...

So, when a TV studio broadcasts, the electricity for everyone to watch it is paid for by the viewers. The studio only pays for the power to either broadcast from the TV antenna, or the power to send the signal to the cable company.

But when you watch a broadcast on the internet, not only are the viewers paying for it (their internet), but also the company is paying for the internet on their end (all clients connecting at once, using all that bandwidth), as well as all the servers to handle all those connections.

If TV broadcasts worked the way the internet did, a broadcasting company would have to be able to handle the incoming power load of every household's power bill combined, simultaneously.

It seems like the internet is poorly architected! The company should be able to send its one broadcast stream out, and it should be distributed to all the client machines, without the broadcast company needing to directly connect to (and duplicate) the signal across every client themselves.
That would make it a rational number, so we can rule that out

What do you want to verify exactly? Do you think Apple is lying about what lockdown mode does? Why would they do that?
Could you at least say what your opinion is based on?

But it is possible to verify what it does, the same way you would for an android phone (I.e. not just look at the source code and hope that it matches what’s running on your device).

But the nice parts of ChromeOS, as far as security properties go are the way it can be "power washed" between usages. Along with a desktop Linux system that has less binaries installed at it's base than most. And things that are built in are typically built atop chrome's sandbox.

I used to joke with my friends who ran TAILS Linux that my grandma with her Chromebook had the same threat model.
As wild as this may seem to some, I believe that stopping US offshoring is the best for the world.

1. It will help keep US manufacturing in US, as desired by political parties in the US. Not sure how the US will find the labor force (since the US is closed to immigration in any meaningful way and fertility rates keep declining), but it will keep the population happy.

2. Other countries will stop using US dollar for as much trade because the dollar will stop being widely available in the world. Most countries in the world would love nothing but to stop being affected by US foreign policy and US monetary policies. Today, the only reason why other countries are continuing to trade in US dollars is because there is no alternative. But if the US withdraws supply of dollars from the world by reducing imports, the US Dollar will cease to become the currency of trade (at the scale it is used in today).

Sure, the average American will become poorer by global standards because of the decline in ability to export inflation via printed money, but that is exactly what people in America appear to be asking for.
Yup - I am not quite sure! But I reckon it's fairly likely that the post contains the "how" of how I ruined my SEO. The hope is that a knowledgeable someone can say what I did wrong.

Depends on the loss function. Softmax final activation into cross entropy loss (or KL divergence) gives probability like predictions. This is a very common set up but there are many others that don’t have this property. I figure that’s what you mean by ‘almost always’. You can also use variational inference where you predict a distribution (usually Gaussian so a sigmoid activation with two values per prediction) and use a Wasserstein loss function and this can be used to get confidence intervals among other things.
This… this is not a logical interpretation of shadow ban, at best it’s a random guess. Interpretation implies some understanding of the data
Regardless of which language you write in, it is my humble opinion that watching the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) from MIT in the 80'es* is gonna make you a vastly better programmer.

Yes, it is cheeky in a uniquely 80's way

Yes, it is an ancient lisp that nobody uses anymore, but that is just syntax. The composition and data structure lessons of that video series is timeless.

And yes chapter 7 (and maybe others) most likely requires a few rewatches... even for a proficient programmer.

An no, don't try to read the book instead. Start with the videos, so that you can get the Big Ideas instead of fiddling with Lisp code, that you will not use ever again...

Disagree. If you truly understand something, you must have prooven it to yourself, everything is just a mental help ("donkey bridge" in german) that allows you to remember the statement better - weather it's right or not, you can only know once you've prooven it; and before you did that, it can often happen that your intuition on what's right is actually wrong.
Not the GP but I use ZFS snapshots for such things. Should the files be overwritten or deleted I can always fetch an older copy from snapshots.

The trick is to make sure nothing has access to the backup storage, which is obviously easier said than done.
Yep. I've sent a party mail and free lunch or snacks sponsor to the team. Have got them a couple of times as well. A lesson well learned...

My Facebook ad campaigns were repeatedly rejected until I made that one change. And they never said why it was being rejected. It was only that change that fixed it.
On the one hand, as others have pointed out too: People I know who are serious about car racing use games to develop their skills. The games are faithful enough simulations to be useful for that.

On the other hand, driving/cycling/skiing simulations are just simulations. I'm happy to just have a power meter on an indoor cycling trainer. But some people have fancy setups that can tilt for inclines and lean for turns. "Enough realism" is an interesting game design consideration.
It's very commonplace to build software yourself! How else do you make changes to the software?! Trusting build tools and sandboxing build users has proven to be very very difficult to do completely. Still, what's the point of OSS if you only ever download and use prebuilt images?

> if you engage with those people and don’t insult/berate them they’ll come round easily

Nope, 10 years of plain simple facts and it doesn't help. It's still Richard Branson that's stealing everyones money, if only the west coast mainline wasn't run by him then it would be £20 return for Manchester to London. HS2 of course will apparently cost £600 return for every journey and nobody will be able to afford it or something.

HS2 should be cheaper than current trains, if there is the demand.

Currently to run 1000 seats London to Manchester return takes two 11 car trains, each with 3 members of staff (driver, manager, shop) on a 5 hour return trip. That's 10 hours of train and 30 hours of staff per return.

To do that under HS2 will be 2h30 return for a single train and not need a shop, so that's 5 hours of staff and train costs, so should be far cheaper operational costs.

Track costs should be far cheaper than maintaining 150 year old structure

Whether those lower train and staff costs translate to lower fares, lower subsidies, or more subsidies elsewhere on the network, is a political decision.

I fear the government is killing demand though - for 2 of my last 3 trips to London down the west coast I've hired a car and driven, and it wasn't terrible.
Early on in the days of OS X (perhaps the first 10 years or so), Apple made a good habit of focusing on one particular subsystem for massive changes, and then tended to only make smaller scale changes across the rest of the OS. I wonder sometimes if that would be too hard to replicate as a Linux OS vender. Seems like the approach worked well and it could again.
This is 100% how I feel too haha. And everytime I loose the feeling of understanding them, I question if I understood them before.
Right, there is no advantage in maximizing rotational velocity.

Flywheels are the best when you need to store only a few seconds' worth of power, and may need to store or retrieve it at a very high rate.

Still, spinning spare "Starship" cans on the ends of a girder might be a good way to store solar energy on the moon, during the long night. Maybe the girder is made from basalt fiber.
I've seen the term "machine learning" used without criticism to refer to such a wide range of things that it seems pretty much synonymous now with multivariate discrimination and classification. At one time I would have said "machine learning" meant "deep learning models" but then it seemed to mean "computational multivariate discrimination and classification" and now the "computational" doesn't even apply.

I personally believe "machine learning" is a term that could be removed from use and nothing would suffer (and clarity might even be improved). I feel somewhat similarly about "data science" although at least that captures some intersection of database engineering and computational statistics that is useful when discussing very large data problems.
Interest rate and monetary policy articles on HN never produce productive discussion, for various reasons, which are quite obvious if you scan the comments of these types of articles so I won’t elaborate on what they are.

I quite often write and post a comment to correct a misconception and just end up deleting it because the person I am replying to is going to dismiss what I am posting anyways. Now I don’t waste my time.
I’d beg to differ.. if we’re talking about customer support, it wouldn’t be that interesting. But closer to the realm of mental health, the lack of notice qualifies as concerning in my book. Given the error rate of ChatGPT, it also not assured that it wouldn’t respond with something inappropriate or dangerous.
It’s sad that we live in a world where politicians just blatantly lie about their campaign promises and we all accept it as normal and award them with high approval ratings.
Do you pay for SSL certs for your websites to help give customers confidence that you are who you say you are?
Raspberry Pi 4's SoC is widely known to have a very bottlenecked GPU, which simply can't fill the screen fast enough to ever keep up at even 1080p.

VisionFive 2 claims to have 4x the gpu performance, thus assuming acceleration on both SBCs, it would be very easy for the VisionFive 2 to perform better.
Not exactly.

Computational context in this sense is like, is this computation of the type that can either fail or succeed? (Maybe monad). Or is this computation of the type that can produce multiple values of the same type? (List monad). Or maybe this computation can produce value of one type or another (Either monad). Or a computation that can interacti with inputs and outputs (IO monad).

So these are computations in differend kinds of computational "worlds" in a sense, with different rules on how such a computation in this context composes.
While I agree, I can also see where the creator is coming from here. He is working on making his very unfinished language, and someone else comes and starts making an optimized LLVM version of it. The creator certainly doesn't want the language to always look like it does today—after all, he is still actively working on it, adding new features every week. But he is afraid that the LLVM version will be so much better that people will use that instead of his work-in-progress compiler, and so they will be stuck with an old version of his language.

I think he should have handled it better. Maybe explaining why he didn't want a fork (he may have done this, I haven't watched his porth series specifically), and maybe asking the guy to put out something in his README.

Yes, and as essentially a "hidden flat tax" it burns a lot more for large quantities of lower end hardware vs single bigger iron. Looking back at the records, at the time adding their iLO/M.2 comm card (needed to have a dedicated iLO port on those servers) was $65 from Provantage and then the license to actually do basic stuff with it like a web console was and $227. So ~$290 all told extra. We've got a few higher end systems, $10-20k NAS or larger hypervisor systems, and at that level sure an extra $300 stings a bit but is against a lot of other stuff. At medium range, more like $3k-5k, obviously worse. But some use cases called for say 6x $500-600 systems instead of a single $3k-6k system, and for a few projects someone was trying to go as cheap as possible and grabbed some still pretty new (gen10) plain vanilla ones off of used/bankruptcy sales for like $300-400 because the price seemed so attractive. But then using iLO properly could nearly double the price, and at the lower end there is a big difference in the hardware you can get for $600-700 vs $300-400, and then multiply that per unit.

Meanwhile competitor systems all have dedicated ports out of box. SuperMicro does have a paid "full unlock" for their BMC, but the only thing it does is add bios updates and such. All the core normal management functionality is there by default. It also only costs $30.

Granted HPs had other irritations like really wonky proprietary fan control (heck, proprietary fan cables too) that would mysteriously fail to function with different flavors of the same OS, and couldn't be overridden from the BMC (then what's the point!?). Also they were slow with EPYC options when that's what a lot of us really wanted to be switching for, the performance and value propositions were getting really good vs Intel who were also jerks.

Like lots of big players the experience may get different if you're buying hundreds to thousands or more units and have a dedicated account manager who takes care of all this for you etc etc. But x86-based servers is a pretty damn competitive market and at some point one has to stop and ask why hours are being burned futzing with stuff when literally the entire basic point of getting "server class" hardware with remote management functionality is to save man hours by NOT having to futz. So yeah there's a little rant I didn't even know I still had in me years later :). HP you silly goofs.
