  1. You could also chuck a bunch of ferrites on your PC power cord
  2. Instead of "surgically adjusting" logits within an existing model, couldn't you just build the slop detector into the loss function during the initial training stage?
  3. The EU tries something like this every few years. If you don't want this to happen, you have to win every time, while they only have to win once.

    It's an unsustainable situation.

  4. Most TV tubes aren't too valuable. Now if your TV was made by telefunken, that might be a different story
  5. Instead of re-engineering complicated systems to be resilient to thieves, what if we just got rid of the thieves?
  6. Seems misleading or at the very least incomplete to blame these fees on "the power of the free market" when the visa / mastercard duopoly exists due to regulations making the entry barrier to creating a new card network essentially infinite
  7. The loss of DEI programs is good, as it reduces the pressure for these companies to discriminate against white and asian men in hiring.
  8. Wearing a t-shirt with a prefabricated group identity marker, whether purchased or self-manufactured, makes one a curious sort of "non-conformist".
  9. IIRC they have never defined "substantially similar" and they don't actually go after people who sell etf X and immediately buy etf Y with an identical price graph
  10. Are you kidding? Even if you're a very skilled sculptor, you don't get an extremely accurate sculpture of a human body without a living reference in front of you. A muscular person doesn't look like a non-muscular person with various regions puffed up
  11. It's worth noting that the anatomic accuracy of classical statues like Laocoon, the Farnese Hercules, etc. indicates that there were at least some men walking around in antiquity with an amount of muscle mass that could only be developed by deliberate hypertrophy training of the whole body, as opposed to just getting muscle as a side effect of specific athletic training. It seems like these people were doing something quite similar to modern bodybuilding, goal-wise.
  12. The key assumption is that T and H may not have the same probability, but each flip isn't correlated with past or future flips. Therefore, TH and HT have the same probability. So you can think of TH as "A" and HT as "B" then you repeatedly flip twice until you get one of those outcomes. So now your coin outputs A and B with equal probability.
  13. Isn't this a huge security vulnerability for the client?
  14. So it's a Caesar cipher, which is trivial to break. You don't need OCR or any computationally intensive solution.
  15. I'm not an exit node.

    You can buy a vps with xmr if you're worried about privacy from law enforcement.

  16. I started a tor relay on a spare vps about a month ago and it got guard status around 2-3 weeks in, so that info seems to be out of date.
  17. With v3 hidden services, relays can no longer see the plaintext of the hidden service's url.
  18. This is an "argument" against demolishing any building ever.
  19. Cool. How necessary is the type system? Could you make something similar for lispy languages?
  20. AM sounds painfully awful
  21. You have some very confused ideas about risk and the concept of voluntary behavior.
  22. If they're aware of that, I don't see the problem?
  23. My favorite part is "The derivative resembles the rhythm of a heartbeat."
  24. The part in which FLT is derived from the binomial theorem, lol.
  25. Why post this? This appears to be the writings of a crank.
  26. I don't see how you do a fair comparison. How do you even drive a CRT with a modern graphics card? Presumably you have some sort of digital to analog converter box, but wouldn't that add a touch of latency and defeat the purpose of the CRT?
