If it's this important, does the onboard computer of the car not check this and warn if needed? If not, why not and why did humanity end up in a state where clunky apps are needed for this when the car already has all the electronics i

Not even a low battery warning icon when it's getting low?

Why do 100k people need a car battery monitoring app? The dial is right on the dashboard of the car, what does this app possibly do?! And drain your phone battery continously as well, is that really worth the ability to see on your phone sc

But might this physical stretching then also allow room temperature superconductors, if not why not?

The Stirling's approximation is a good way to implement an accurate gamma function approximation on PC/calculators/..., but it's just a formula to implement, it doesn't necessarily mean you think about fun facts lik

Every number is a power if you allow non-integers. But it seems indeed like it means _near_ an integer power in this case. The factorial of 3 is 6 but 6 is not a non-trivial integer power of anything. I don't like the title either. The

Not all sound is created that way, e.g. rain falling from the sky is not, do you intent to mean all physics, including rain, originate from consciousness in some way (such as in theories that everything is an illusion, ...), or rather, that

> Why would something that has no consciousness make up that it has consciousness? You can make a computer program `printf("I have consciousness\n");` But I actually also didn't follow the rest of the argument. How does wh

Can you please elaborate why point 2 does that? You can never prove others have consciousness, no matter what they say (I'm not saying they don't).

Surrogate pairs are such a useless thing to exist. A unicode character is just a number (of up to around 21 bits). The encoding of this number, and the unicode value itself, can (and should) be made completely independent. Note how UTF-8 di

Github could cache it then to improve this?

This depends on your editor color settings though. C++ can look very handsome

Isn't the main component for AI matrix multiplication? What makes it so hard to create a good alternative API for matrix multiplication?

Is HN slow because everyone who was normally posting on reddit is now commenting on HN instead?

I simply already dislike it because this means when creating a website you can't even rely anymore on the browser showing the image you as website designer intended. What if I'm deliberately showing a comparison of compression art

Could one in theory then game on it by installing Steam on linux? And run all the LLM's with the largest models you want straight from github repositories?

What kind of CPU is the CPU part? The link doesn't tell. Is it like ARM or RISC V and can it run a general purpose OS like Linux? Do you plugin in DDR memory somewhere for the 480GB, or is this already on the board? EDIT: found answer

I guess that's more for airplane simulators then. But I'd also think any physics engine where things can rotate arbitrarily need to work correctly here. I also think, despite various sources on the internet saying "quaternion

The main thing is how when representing the 3D looking orientation as multiple angles (pitch=up/down, yaw=compass direction), you lose control over the yaw axis when looking straight up.

Hmm, I usually find polar coordinates harder to reason with due to the gimbal lock :) In 2D there's no gimbal lock of course, but there's still a number that behaves differently than the others, the angle wrapping around in range

" In all my time of coding, there has only been one situation in which I used cosine: games, games, games. function move(obj) { obj.x += obj.speed * Math.sin(obj.rotation); obj.y += obj.speed * Math.cos(obj.rotation);

What I actually meant to ask is: given what you said, is supporting it then even a language feature, and not a compiler optimization instead? If rust says they don't support it, does it mean they don't even allow the compiler

For this particular form of demo, modern hardware is just too powerful, and the quality of the demo is purely the quality of the assets. So a demo for a modern platform would require the same scale as what big AAA game or movie studios prod
