Think past quantitative reach and imagine qualitative. The New York Times reaches heads of state, business leaders, intellectual elites, etc. pewdiepie reaches an audience primarily looking to fill moments of leisure.

I love for loops because in one line I can grasp what the loop intends to compute and usually leads me towards what I should pay attention to when debugging. This all seems to require me to remember how it’s implemented and to think about w

Very difficult to prove that the simulation is an accurate and easy to grasp representation that holds up in a court.

Pewdiepie does not have a bigger reach than the NYT. That’s ludicrous.

Apple losing the image of quality engineering will effect their entire product range, with consumers less willing to pay a premium and second guessing engineering achievements by keeping in mind side effects. If the next iPhone is 20 grams

For business travelers in Chicago the last mile problem from the middle of the loop is at worst a 10 minute walk.

I don't think it's much of an incentive. According to Valve's hardware surveys roughly 3% of Steam's market is MacOS. Those type of numbers are similar across different distribution platforms that a Unity game dev will t

Every game developer I know turns off the metal rendering pipeline and uses the much more stable and refined OpenGL one unless getting every tiny bit of performance needs to be squeezed out. I’ve witnessed plenty of last minute builds be sa

This is some of the sharpest sarcasm I've ever read. Absolutely brilliant.

Conflicted between being all for a company like Facebook throwing their money at AI vanity projects and that these researchers are working on AI vanity projects rather than something else. Hopefully the patents don't get walled off.

Similar to how time travelers have to interface with our devices.

You just calculate the total load of the road and render enough cars appropriately with defined positions. Doing that logic through a physics system would collapse the entire simulation.

I remember reading people saying that insurance premiums will plummet for Teslas because of how much safer they will be on the road. Today I read Tesla is getting into the insurance business because premiums are getting out of hand. It make

There is no collision detection here, and consequently no hitboxes. It’s just a visualization of some simple game simulation data

No risk in getting shot either I suppose, except for the issues of bleeding out or puncturing a critical organ.

Who are you defrauding? Under what jurisdiction? The ability to be 51% attacked is a feature of the design. You expect all the actors to commit enough computing capacity to prevent such an attack as it’s in their own best interest.

Man, this would be great way to soak up a bunch of concepts and then hire out a team of full-timers if those hobbyist founders happen to gain some traction.

I wish I shared your optimism. I'm observing current government policy not being particularly forward thinking, e.g. massively subsidizing the coal industry.

When your customer is an executive who needs to sell their decision to a board or C-level then pitching "IBM Whatever Health Stuff" is a bit harder than "Watson Healthcare" because of marketing.
