To answer your last question: it depends! Cranking up property tax or land tax still sucks. Sure, maybe you can buy land now, but what if you want to live on it? Your house doesn't earn you income (i.e. what you build on your land is n

I want to congratulate the author on this, it's super cool. Making correct automatic parallelization is nothing to sneeze at, and something you should absolutely be proud of. I'm excited to see how this project progresses.

If Copilot significantly increases your productivity, you're either: - statistically, a below average programmer, or - a really, really, slow typer. Writing code is the easy part. Copilot, and transformers in general, are only able to

Linked lists are, by definition, a value with a pointer to the next. That's what makes it "linked". The API you're describing is the iterator pattern, which indeed can be backed by almost anything (be it a linked list, a

Realistically, you'd train your model the same way it's done today and then custom-order analog ones with the weights programmed in. The advantage here would be faster inference (assuming analog circuits actually work out), but cu

It's not a terrible idea... This doesn't "trust" the client, it just interprets the data that the client sent as an array of pixel values. In a memory safe language (e.g. JS, C#, Go, Rust, ...), that would make it basica

No. Kagi uses the MS Bung index iirc, so it',s not a curated list.

The cannabis black market in Canada is actually _more_ convenient than the legalized stores. Not far from where I live, there are _tons_ of illegal/unregulated dispensaries. In many cases, the only tipoff you get that these aren't

Well, I said _need_ to stream it. I think that's slightly different: I _want_ to stream data almost all the time, but I _need_ to stream data (e.g. due to RAM limitations) fairly infrequently. If you have so much data (e.g. 8GB+, yes m

I'm going off the assumption that you're an average-ish suburban american, so if you're not that, then this doesn't count... Cars use fossil fuels to run, and rare metals to be manufactured. These are inherently limited,

One particular downside to using an actual array instead of something like JSON lines is that you can't really stream the data. If you have so much data that you need to stream it, you probably shouldn't be using JSON, though...

Can you elaborate on how this is "fake" open-source?

PWAs work _great_ on everything that isn't an Apple product. Linux and Windows support PWAs without issue. MacOS, iOS, etc. all do not. Chrome (I think any Chromium browser, but I'm not 100% sure), Firefox, and most other browsers

I might be missing something here, but why would alien (or any) civilizations continually expand at a constant rate? While I'm not an expert, it appears that by observing life on Earth (not just humans), groups of living things do not

1. This is not true. IPv4 address exhaustion has not been "solved". NAT _works_, but causes tons of problems. 2. Also false. Upsides include more speed (due to ISPs usually having newer infra for IPv6), cheaper addresses (for peop

I would posit that making some AI-controlled weaponry on par with humans at target identification/recognition is not too hard, and definitely doable with today's tech. Making one that's _better_ than humans though, that'

Your examples of "choices made as an adult" (religion and joining the military) are quite commonly not choices, nor made as an adult. Most kids are introduced to being religious because their parents are, and in those scenarios th

If every tile in the game ("tile" being some discrete unit of walkable/not walkable) is 8px by 8px, then you're doing 64x the work you need to. The tile data will also be stored somewhere anyways to handle player collisi

Also not a lawyer, but that sounds more like "if another company acquires us, we will give your info to them" and then separately "Stripe might sell your data; we're not responsible for them". Which is rotally reaso
