when I got my first vaccine, they gave me a paper card, and they put stickers on it to record which vaccines I got, and I put it in my wallet where it's been ever since. I haven't (yet, I guess) had to show a "digital vaccine

The difference is that in the former scenario, the one OpenAI is supposedly protecting us from, the danger is that OpenAI is "too good", possible of doing damage by supposed nefarious actors: something generating hundreds of fake

I mean, just 7 years after the Bill of Rights and First Amendment in 1791 were ratified, came the Sedition Act of 1798, which was a law, passed by Federalist Congress, prohibiting certain kinds of speech critical of the government. You migh

Why would Cowen want to actually empirically test their skills? They're getting articles about their supposed mystical powers written up right now. Why risk tossing that away and find out for real, with very limited upside?

I wouldn't call "display a chair in a web page in an inexact and implementation-defined manner, with air quotes 'interactivity'" a "very basic need". This seems like a very specific use case, which I think

Years of trying to treat models like images shows us it's a poor idea. Maybe now with Disney/Epic PBR being the standard material model it's closer but, that Panic truck? Good luck defining the exact lighting for that so it r

The DoorDash UI prevented you from giving a "really big" tip. It topped off right at the point that drivers would actually start getting tipped in your math.

012345 is the old way of doing octal notation in Python, which has its roots in C. I'm guessing they want to prevent ambiguity by making it so that it's an error for "012345" to be a decimal literal.

Quite a lot. Also, confirm() prompts for input from the user and returns it; can't really do that without blocking execution.

Flutter started with Ian Hixie and a few other Chrome people going "what happens if we remove all the 'junk' from the HTML spec". Of course, what's junk and what's not might be controversial, but that's wh

I know you don't really want to hedge too much on your example, but do note that in your attempt to simplify, you accidentally turned an API which can, in theory, draw many triangles into one that only can draw one triangle at a time.

As someone who's developed and maintained platform backends for all sorts of obscure platforms (actually, it's still my day job!), I don't think wgpu backends are going to be difficult to develop for any of the remaining plat

It's really not lzma+gzip+lz4, except by if you mean "it's an LZ-alike". It's a modern LZ with repcodes (kinda LZMA-ish, but more like LZX honestly), and it uses a novel arith coder system (Huffman/ANS) instead

In my experience ths issue with this has always been asset download speeds, not web frameworks. The lack of a storage solution means we can't ship game quality assets and have things be instant load.. I run a large WebGL application an

emscripten ships a "desktop GL" emulation library [0], which can have quite a bit of overhead. If you want something faster, you can use the native WebGL bindings [1] [0] https://github.com/emscripten-core/ems

Ah, so you're @0xca0a. Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first. The examples and documentation I'm quoting at you are your own; my mistake. That said, I don't know why you entered into the conversation by asserting proper

No; that's not the test in question. The tweet I started the conversation with [0] shows a bunch of cubes, not text geometry. It's not the text geometry test. It's just creating and manipulating a bunch of cubes. Unfortunatel

As I said, "schedule" just means "defer work to future frames". That's a valid strategy if you have severe load, but it's not globally applicable: one might imagine that two components need to be updated toge

You have to remember that this 700ms overhead is not the renderer. It's just setting fields on the underlying Three.JS Cube objects. The Three.JS renderer runs fine, and I don't even consider Three.JS to be a fast renderer. So y

In most production renderers, you have a soup of objects. Sometimes it's a tree, but much more often it's a graph of nodes pointing to each other. One of the first steps of this is to gather all the nodes in the graph, flattening

The creator of React-Three-Fiber has come out with some extremely bizarre tweets, like claiming updating 2,000 cubes at 60fps is an "impossible amount of load" [0]. The solution it uses for performance is... punting your calculati

As far as I know, the Future concept for async/await started with Twisted's Deferred, which is a framework for Python. It's not really from functional land.

You often need to use signals, unfortunately, and they stink. The only way to spawn multiple processes and being told when each of them die is SIGCHLD. I mean, I suppose you could spawn N threads and call waitpid on each one but it would be

I apparently cannot parse decimal places, thank you for the correction.
