Correlations don't have to "work" as they don't imply causality. Orange Tsai is indeed quite talented at both competitions and research (but it would prove as little as my own anecdotes). If I'm biased, it might be

Anecdotal, but I have noticed a similar correlation between achievements in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions and performance in the cybersecurity industry. As some people have pointed out, this effect appears when observing just people w

I don't think the WebNN API is trying to solve this problem, are they? Skimming through the specification, WebNN provides a way of describing the topology of a neural network, and compile+run it on different hardware (DSP, NPU, GPU, et

Thank you, I didn't know that! It feels scary to see that all these NN APIs are appearing around the fact that we cannot talk to DSPs, NPUs, GPUs, CPUs under a same language. By creating such highly-specialized APIs it feels like &quot

Why making this a Web API, rather than a library? We have WebAssembly threads which allows high-performance multi-threaded CPU code and WebGPU for general purpose GPU code. Please correct me if I'm mistaken (not a ML expert): On top of

That makes sense. But thinking about OP's analogy, the information of a simulated trajectory of a rocket to the moon would also need to be delivered through a 2D monitor with finite resolution/framerate. Simulations will always be

JavaScript is often delivered minified without the corresponding original sources. If preventing reverse engineering is a goal, it could even be obfuscated, which certain sites already do. In practice, there's nothing that WebAssembly

The apparent difference in steepness arises from different scaling in both altitude ("typical flight" reaches almost 12 km, while "test flight" reaches almost 6 km) and time (the 5 minute intervals are twice as large in

Maybe I worded it wrongly, sorry. I didn't mean "why does it matter?" as if people shouldn't care about those questions. It was rather a rhetorical question, to show that the "simulation" might not depend on an

Whenever the simulation hypothesis comes up, there's always the questions like: Who is simulating us? Where is the power coming from? What happens if they pull the plug? But why would any of that matter? In the end it's just a blo

Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for! I might overlooked it last time I checked around May (was that documented at that time?). Thanks a lot for pointing it out. :-)

Microsoft's WHPX is closed source: we are stuck with an incomplete instruction emulator, no guest debugging support and other shortcomings. All of this locked to a single host OS. Same thing goes for Apple's HVF. Each vendor seems
