There is still no computer program (with or without “AI”) able to play bridge decently.

Unregistered migrants cannot buy a car at all, because they can’t register it and get a plate (details differ between countries, but legal residence is a requirement everywhere in the EU). Registered migrants can get a bank account.

Codenames are alphabetically ordered, it is easy to guess the release date.

Physicists haven’t added new particles in a long time.

Chief economist of the DG, not head of the DG.

I didn’t remember correctly. PG&E had just above a billion tower. 21bn is the total capacity of the new California Wildfire Fund, that provides liability insurance to the California utilities.

PG&E had a 26b$ insurance tower IIRC. It was completely blown by the wildfires.

The first three pages are a summary in relatively plain language.

Is the IMAP/SMTP connection not encrypted?

TFA makes exactly this point. The lemma that Dafny proves is true, the reversed one is not and Dafny can provide the counterexample (the empty list).

Do you have CPU or memory heavy background tasks? On my M2 spotlight is instant and Notes opens in less than one second.

It doesn’t really matter. Nobody brings their car overseas, and the costs for having different chargers in Europe and NA are negligible.

Adobe has a much larger reach in the target market. Under Adobe, Figma can potentially double or triple their sales, bringing that ratio to more reasonable levels.

(Of course Adobe’s ability to execute that is far from certain)

“Reciprocal licensing” is not precise. I think ShareAlike is more descriptive (and consistent with CC licenses).

Some years ago there was the option to remove a domain from search results (I don’t remember if it was a default or an option). Google removed it without giving a reason. I assume that it was not working as expected.

But the web has changed in these years. It would be interesting to have it again.

Professional pianist practice hours every day. The main differences in posture, compared to an office chair, are:

1. A flat seat, without back

2. No wrist support.

There is plenty of land, but not where most people want to live.

Strict liability is extremely rare in criminal matters.

Which Apple product?

I have implemented a convolution (using radix-2 FFT) as an intermediate step in Bluestein FFT.

The naive method is slow because it repaints the image several times. A faster way is a sort of double buffering: copy the image to an array, perform the fill on the array, copy the array to the canvas image data.

The method in TFA is however faster for static images, after the preprocessing.

An AI may be more likely to hallucinate the wrong comment, but also much less likely to forget to update the comment when the code changes. The net result could be better comments.

That’s exactly how itvwas calculated. A0 is defined to have the right proportions, rounded to 1mm. The smaller formatsround always down, because this way it‘s possible to make two A(n*1) sheets by cutting an An sheet in two halves and possibly cutting away a thin stripe from the long side.

Do you tip for takeout (without delivery)?

Dropbox can be at the same time the best solution and nevertheless hard to use, if the other solutions are less powerful or more confusing.

It”s only mentioned at the end. If you use some regularization, you have many ways to fit the data (almost) perfectly, and you choose the one with the smallest coefficients, which is often one that generalizes well. And even without explicit regularization, some training methods implicitly apply sone form of regularization, when the number of parameters exceeds the number of data points.

I know it’s common in Switzerland, Italy and France.

It’s more than clickbait. The intent of the proposed legislation in not to make volunteer open-source contributors liable for bugs, but the current draft may set the boundary between commercial and non-commercial developers in the wrong place.

In many places the notice period is enforceable, with a standard period of three to six months for senior positions.
