The article answers to this near the very beginning. > Now, don't get me wrong. Trigonometry is convenient and necessary for data input and for feeding the larger algorithm. What's wrong is when angles and trigonometry suddenly

More like the opposite. Point cloud data captured with varying means has existed for a long time with raw data visualized more or less just like this. And SciFi movies/games use the effect of raw visualization as something futuristic&

Except it kind of fails at that too. The window corners seem to be either based on those squircle things or some kind of other varying radii curve which eases out into sides much more gradually than proper circles. The window buttons (clos

Not on a phone right now, but you have to type in sample text above and press check. Bad UI choice of showing bars before text has been entered and separating bars from the input field by additional text.

It is already way beyond double layer. The 4.8TB is achieved using 301 layers.

One of the 2 terminals in Cherbourg France, the city you reach by traveling from Dublin to France, but not the one I arrived in. It only had routes to England.

Bought a ferry ticket, it told me I am close enough to board. The usual popup for advancing time to leaving time didn't show up. Decided to speed up time and wait it manually it just kept going without getting in until 2am when out of

Similar thing here. Was in a ferry from Ireland to France and got a penalty for not being in a hotel. How is 20 hour ferry not considered an overnight transport.

It's not that different from "real 3d" renderers. Especially in deferred rendering pipelines the rasterizer creates a bunch of buffers for depth map, normal map, color, etc but main shaders are running on those 2d buffers. Th

I disagree with Apple caring about legibility. You can have legibility in simplicity but apple isn't doing that. Legibility requires contrast, the whole liquid glass transparent background thing kills contrast and thus legibility. Havi

Windows11 making it hard to create a local account is a separate topic. The fine print notes refer to to specific features. In this cases it's "4." for Copilot. You don't need apple account if you are fine with not using

I would guess that it also helps with accidental restarts due to power loss while repositioning the keyboard on your desk. It doesn't take much force to pull out USB-C.

Has it actually reached properly functional state? The showcase video didn't look very convincing and neither website nor the discord channel contained a lot more information. Although I didn't dig through discord history too care

Except your giant comment doesn't actually explain why it used uint64. Only place mentioning uint64 is integer promotion which only happens because you used 64bit integer, thus no explanation of why. Was it done because shifting by amo

If you had read the link you posted you would know those are various historic proposals for language reforms not something that's widely used. Same way there have been various proposals for English spelling reforms. That's not the

Ligatures like in "stuffing" isn't the worst case for mid ligature styling. You could introduce a split between stuff and ing preventing the forming of ligature and it would likely still look reasonable. That's actually

Few more additional ones, more about editing than just rendering: The style change mid ligature has a related problem. While it might be reasonable not to support style change in the middle of ligature, you still want to select individual l

You might want to take a look at https://diffusionillusions.com/ . You don't need a specialized models, little bit of traditional code for enforcing constraints on top of general purpose models can do quite a bit.

Industrial cooler manufacturers and DC PR teams have their ways to greenwash the truth. "40% of data centers are using evaporative cooling" doesn't mean that other 60% are fully closed loop water to air coolers or what would

Often it's less about learning from the bugfix itself but the journey. Learning how various pieces of software operate and fit together, learning the tools you tried for investigating and debugging the problem.

One of the reasons you mostly saw point operations and very few rectangle operations is because quadtrees aren't great for range operations. Quadtrees might look like natural generalization of binary trees, but some things that work ve

It's a chicken and egg problem. Lack of ARM PCs due to software support, lack of software support due to negligible market share. Same argument can be applied to Linux. Why not just compile the software for Linux. Not that the most co

That's not Intel syntax that's more or less ARM assembly syntax as used by ARM documentation. Intel vs AT&T discussion is primarily relevant only for x86 and x86_64 assembly. If you look at GAS manual https://ftp.gn
