Interesting, I want to read more about this.

I wouldn't bet against him. "The Bitter Lesson" may imply an advantage to someone who historically has been at the tip of the spear for squeezing the most juice out of GPU hosted parallel computation. Graphics rendering and A

This is the first I've heard of oklch. Here's the perspective of somebody who writes a lot of shaders: It looks similar to Hue/saturation/value encoding, which as tons of uses, but with saturation replaced with "chr

Reminds me of something from like 2007ish(?)~ called (fluxus). It was a lisp text editor with a render target in the background and some nice standard library for making 3d objects appear or sfx play. Everything was constantly evaluating&#x

There's quite a few monocular depth estimation models out there, have been for years. This one looks pretty good. That said, the temporal stability seems pretty wobbly, I don't think I'd use it for a self driving car. The mos

It's a cute package, but that resolution is wild. 24x24? I suppose it might have a place in manufacturing automation tasks. I don't know where you'd have room for one of these but no room for something like the D435 which has

My technique is just to barrel in without expectations. I just checked your webpage, I see a lot of overlapping tech. Are you still interested in WPF? I had a blast using it a decade ago, but my career has taken me in a different direction.

I don't find these kinds of predictions convincing. They tend to extrapolate forward linearly without factoring in human will and degrees of freedom.

What do we have to do to be skilled to you? Build a ship in a bottle while juggling flaming bowling pins?

If you started with SAS for statistics like I did, you'd see how absolutely civilized R is in comparison.

Almost everything matches my gamedev heuristics. I even have empathy for choosing JS. I'm making a game modding framework right now that operates on a lispy kind of s-expressions. Optimizing to accelerate creative iteration time > *

Didn't say it blocked it, just said it added friction.

> TL;DR: The tooling is bad. I make my own tools. KV makes it really easy to stop having to care about the database layer really early in a project and live entirely in code. It's fine.

I agree with you but maybe for different reasons. (Depends on how you defined embeddable I suppose). The primary purpose of a scripting language for gamedev is for mod support. If end users can't open the scripts up in notepad, play ar

It's an opinion. IMO key value stores tend to live in the space between a third normal form ultra relational UML diagram database like the college textbooks assure you exist and a high chaos cowboy document storage system like mongodb.

Something I've played with off and on is using blender for all the key bits engine editors provide. You can encode metadata (components, pipeline steps) on 3d objects with the extra properties fields. Every GLTF importer I've trie

Would, at the very least, need a carve-out for your primary domicile + a lockout period. It sounds rife for yucks. Imagine making a megarich person mad online and they buy your house out from under you. So you move to another one. They do i

All good points. I haven't encountered an implicit deal breaker/an issue impossible to mitigate yet while thinking about it. The devil would be in the details. I would need to do some deeper analysis to fully convince myself that

Since you know more about this than me, are there any proposed methods to prevent manipulating value in order to reduce tax burden? I'm thinking of schemes like, and more sophisticated than, "I'm selling 250,000$ T-shirts, bu

I did a little maths on this at some point. If you divide the government's revenue by how many acres are in the US, it turns in to ~2,200$ per acre. Not too shabby. If you charge 3,000$ an acre, assuming everyone could pay it (big assu

Eigenvalues are a topic in linear algebra. They're coefficients you can put in front of some matrices or vectors that change their magnitude. Linear Algebra was the most useful and fun math class I took in college. Highly recommended i

Dungeon Crawler Carl is outstanding. My partner and I blew through the most recent one in mere days after it came out. It's going to be a long wait for #8. If you haven't, I highly recommend Orconomics as well. J. Zachary Pike is

I think this is largely a consequence of the escalating commoditization of human attention, political polarization, marketing yadda yadda. Communities disperse, and are drawn to solutions that make them a little trickier to bot into and be
