They said "When I went on a trip this past fall and saw a very high percentage of people sucked in to these *short form videos* at any idle moment at the airport and out at public events..." Assuming it was all short-form videos (

That counts as doom scrolling to me. If while I'm watching short form content like Reels or YT shorts etc, I realize that if you asked me what I watched 2 scrolls ago and I couldn't tell you- I'm doom scrolling. This is the c

That's surprising to me. I'm 23 and Reels is, as far as I was aware, a big complimentary app to TikTok in my generation. To frame it as a Reel I saw; "TikTok is vape and Reels are cigarettes". TikTok's algorithm is

I would almost change 4 into "Binary search". Wheeler gets close to it by suggesting to locate which side of the bug you're on, but often I find myself doing this recursively until I locate it.

+1 house proud. Funny seeing it on this website haha. If you see a tall thin guy likely in a sweater/hat, say hey to me!

This rings in Minneapolis. The midwest definitely has a solid, consistent scene for house/techno/electronic with DJs bouncing between Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago for sets. The demographic is definitely millennial, wit

Anecdotally, negative sentiment definitely works. I've used f"If you don't do {x} then very very bad things will happen" before with some good results.

Yes, a lawyer could refuse your case after consulting them and their time considering the case.

There's definitely been plenty sources of hardware capable of running LLMs out there for a while, Mac or not. A couple 4090s or P40s will run 3.1 70b. Or, since price isn't a limit, there are other easier & more powerful optio

Did you think the same thing when photoshop came out? It's relatively trivial to photoshop misinformation in a really powerful and undetectable way- but I don't see (legitimate) instances of groundbreaking news over a fake photo o

This is a common survivorship bias fallacy since you only notice the bad CGI. I'm certain you'd be shocked to see the amount of CG that's in some of your favorite movies made in the last ~10-20 years that you didn't noti

The problem is that the answer was a really easy google. I didn't know what low background steel was and I just googled it.

Vision Pro, I think, is their first generation attempt at tackling this.

Why would a user-replaceable battery be better for the environment? Do you think that consumers are able to recycle hard-to-recycle lithium components like that _correctly_? Apple already offers battery replacements (comparatively) cheaply.

+1. In Ableton on Windows you can get your latency down to ~40ms without a dedicated sound card using ASIO. Mac's drivers are even better with sub ~20 ms on my m2 pro IIRC.

Why not? Whether you're running python code in your C interpreter or just running C code, the same memory restrictions will apply based on your hardware. CPython doesn't place a lower bound on bignums over a non-C based implementa

by PhunkyPhil 2y ago
Then C-the-language can be Turing complete, even if C-as-actually-implemented is not. Just implement a python interpreter. (Or you can also just implement bignums in C and use those for your computation)

> But C is a FSM even in theory, unlike Python Write a python interpreter in C and it's clear to see why your logic fails. You've reaped your claimed benefits of Python while remaining in C.

He put me on to Sun Ra and Azymuth, it's high praise coming from Madlib. Other highly individual/stylized artists also share the love for Ra; Earl sweatshirt and members of sLums New York group.

Surely it wouldn't be aimed at proving a 10 million line black box of code, right? In my mind it would have to be built from the ground up, sub unit tests for function proofs and maintain 100% coverage as you go along. As long as the c

London Brew is also a very fun album. A lot of elements of BB are clearly evident but they ramp up the chaos and make it more "scary", while incorporating some things like electric guitar and more modern production.

For me, the idea of nondeterminism was around a computation tree who's branches correspond to possible states of computation. In the context of a deterministic vs nondeterministic finite automata, a DFA has a linear computation path fr

This guy sent me the STLs for these and I tried printing them. I only have an Ender 3 and am a very light hobbyist but I calibrated for hours and got some really nice prints of them but still couldn't get it to be remotely working&#x2F
