Nice. That wasn't on my radar. I was already happy when Blender made significant progress in parametric modelling with geometry nodes. Together with CAD Sketcher, it looks pretty usable for modelling. I hope the whole thing improves qu

Blender is great, but it still can't replace a CAD program. I tried using it for simple CAD tasks (before geometry nodes were released), but the experience was so poor that I quickly switched to FreeCAD. It was worth it, even though it

Nice site! I have a suggestion for a prompt that I could never get to work properly. It's been a while since I tried it, and the models have probably improved enough that it should be possible now. A knight with a sword in hand sta

Regardless of whether she's right or not, isn't she the same person who recently said that Europe needs to invest tens of billions in foundation models as soon as possible?

I have tried it and it is very usable, if a little bare-bones. Unfortunately, Bluetooth doesn't work for me, but everything else works fine. Development seems to have slowed down a little, which is a shame. There is still no good wides

I think remote work will continue to grow because it is so attractive to employees. It will just take time to be fully normalised and it is not available for every job. As for mass transit, well, some countries just like 26-lane highways ri

Yes, there are a variety of methods that could work. It should be seriously studied to see what works best. I hadn't thought about remote work and you're right. It's an excellent solution, at least for the jobs that don'

No, that's not what I'm saying. At the moment, cities are too attractive, and this is largely due to the availability of jobs. What I am suggesting is incentives, in whatever form, to encourage companies to move to less populated

The businesses wouldn't go away. They would just move to less densely populated areas. Businesses would perhaps take a small efficiency hit because of the reduced availability of labour in the region, but even this would probably be co

It seems paradoxical to me that the only "solution" to housing shortages, which exist because the area is too attractive in large part because of the availability of jobs, is to build more houses and thus make the area more attrac

If account settings are not possible because you could fingerprint users, then client-side filtering or reordering might be a solution. Safe-search or not, just transfer both result lists and make the client only show the one you want. The

The downside of this is that if you are not on a larger network, the IP address will probably deanonymise you. Kagi knows you are logged in, and if you open a private browsing window to do a spicy search, they could link the searches. Fast

We're going round in circles because you're just responding to points I didn't actually make. Please read my comments carefully before replying.

Your point is valid, but that's not really what we were talking about. You said that using data centre heat is an alternative to reversible computing. This is not the case. Neglecting efficiency improvements and instead moving the data

by Klaus23 2y ago
istjohn is right. Using a heat pump instead of resistive heating (which is basically what a data centre is) is many times more efficient. That doesn't mean we shouldn't use the heat a data centre provides. It just means that it is

I am no expert, but I like the aesthetics, especially the colours, much more than the superhero comics of the time.

The chances of the rocket reaching orbit on the first attempt are not too bad. Ariane 6 did it and only failed on the third engine relight. Nailing the landing is a lot trickier, but if they have any early problems they would ditch it in th

New Glenn has the throttle range to hover and they test more than SpaceX. You will probably be disappointed.

Because it is a book download site, which is illegal in every country that has copyright, and revealing one's identity with a bank transfer would be a stupid way to go to jail.

Oh, it's 100% trustworthy until it suddenly isn't. I have driven a number of level 2 cars on the motorway and almost all of them can do extended zero-intervention driving, but that does not make them safe. The failure rate compare

After a bit of research, I found out that they apparently did. Obviously every manufacturer would like to be able to use only proven technologies such as cameras and radar because they are cheap. One of the early Mercedes prototypes seeming

I doubt it. Yes, FSD is more flexible and can also drive reasonably well on city streets, but there is a reason why it is not certified for level 3 on motorways. It would most likely fail certification. With a level 3 system, I can take my

I ignore the Chinese because it is difficult to get reliable English information. Apart from those, these are the only level 3 systems available, and level 3 is the most advanced system that private individuals can currently get their hands

Blue Cruise is level 2+, not 3, and does not rely on lidar.

by Klaus23 2y ago
This is simply not true. Let's look at the best autonomous driving features available today, i.e. level 3: Mercedes Drive Pilot: Uses a lidar (and a dummy unit) up front. BMW Personal Pilot: Uses a lidar (and a dummy unit) up front Hon

As Starz0r said, one of the main reasons is that the market is just very small. I think it was CSGO that had basically no protection on Linux for years, and the developers just ignored it because the small number of players didn't make

If it essentially calculates the area of the polygon inside the pixel box and then assigns a colour to the pixel based on the area portion, how would any spatial aliasing artifacts appear? Shouldn't it be equivalent to super-sampling w

I'm a bit surprised by the RISC-V cores. I thought the ARM investment would kill any such aspirations. The investment was made nine months ago. Is a hardware design locked in at this point? We will see what happens in the future and wh

GPU memory costs about $2.5/GB on the spot market, so that is $500 for 200GB. I would speculate that it might be possible to build such a LLM card for $1-2k, but I suspect that the market for running larger LLMs locally is just too sma
