One does not need to be able to create it themselves to evaluate if the output is correct. Consider for example that you can easily determine if a meal tastes delicious without being an expert chef, or the fact that NP problems are very difficult to solve but make for easily verifiable solutions.

You can use ONNXRuntime with a TensorRT backend, so one does not exclude the other.

What exactly is the opposite side? Is it actively managing a portfolio? Because most people don't have the time to do that.

Are we reading the same reddit thread? It looks like most of the people in the comments are against the decision.

Useless because you can use a camera to take a photo of a synthetic image.

I actually thought it was a joke comment, but I'm worried now that it's not the case.

You cannot deny that telling the entire world about this vulnerability before it is patched won't cause a lot of abuse that would not have happened otherwise.

Any program on your computer can just run "sudo" to escalate itself.

>unless the label is something too low signal to predict

>Also, crashes are statistically rare events on arterial and local roads, so it can take years to accumulate sufficient data to establish a valid safety profile for a specific road segment.

That is exactly what this article is about.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did this to lower the support workload, since I have several 2.4Ghz devices that fail to connect to WiFi at all if I put both bands on the same SSID. I intentionally separated them for that reason and portable devices like phones know how to switch between multiple SSIDs based on signal strength anyway.

No, Hacker News is generally about technology and startup news, not businesses in general.

Mullvad at least is funded by their VPN subscriptions.

In my experience Chrome does not just load faster, but it also uses less memory than Firefox because of its more aggressive tab hibernation that is enabled by default.

On my laptop I had to switch from Firefox to Chrome because it kept filling up all of my RAM resulting in other applications crashing.

You can install uBlock Origin on Firefox mobile; it's the only reason I use it.

It is the desktop where Firefox has a 4% market share right now. Once you consider all traffic it drops down to 2%.
