There's a fair chance that discordant voices in the Parliament will grow increasingly stronger, party affiliations notwithstanding. It wouldn't be the first time that the Parliament has asserted its power over the Commission.

And macOS, at least my keyboard layout, has both en and em dashes easily typeable with Alt+- and Alt+Shift+- respectively.

One gossamer-thin silver lining in this current geopolitical lunacy is that it's likely to show the current Commission's pro-corpo anti-citizen endeavors like this, to bend the knee to US corporate interests, in an increasingly ba

Such irony that the site has difficult to opt-out cookie/tracking settings sharing everything possible about you with hundreds of "partners", and flashy, distracting ads between every single paragraph…

Nah. He’s an asset of his American handlers. Stephen Miller is the person driving this Greenland thing (but what are his reasons?), Trump himself would’ve forgotten that the whole island exists if not reminded about it. Now, of course, it

I think you’ll find the essay much more nuanced than that. It only incidentally discusses what you’re thinking about. > Think of AI software generation: there are plenty of coders who love using AI. Using AI for simple tasks can genuinel

Whataboutism. The truth is that neither China nor India will ever reach the cumulative emissions of the US, probably by a very large margin. Those who have already put the most CO2 into the atmosphere have the greatest moral responsibility

It does discuss that? Basically it has good grasp of finances and often knows what "should" be done, but it struggles with actually building anything beyond placing toilets and hotdog stalls. To be fair, its map interface is not e

Yes, but tech is special. And even in tech I presume you're only talking about computer tech, or even more specifically software tech? There's the entire rest of the business world which uses Word because what else would they use

And a (the?) solution is using an algorithm like k -means clustering to find the tileset of size k that can represent a given image the most faithfully. Of course that’s only for a single frame at a time.

I don't think so. Because LLMs aren't legal persons (yet?!), they can neither have copyright to anything nor violate someone else's copyright. IANAL but the most reasonable legal interpretation is likely that any IP violation

Yeah, we should probably standardize on "assuming the conclusion" or just "circular logic" when talking about the logical fallacy.

I think a charitable interpretation is that given that the Rust code will be less forgiving, it will "break" C code and patterns that "used to work", albeit with latent UB or other nonobvious correctness issues. Now, obv

Why do you think the prof even used bash? I highly doubt his ancient SunOS machine had a GNU toolchain. `test` and `[` are both POSIX, but if there was no `/bin/[` I doubt the shell in question (original Bourne? Some proprietary S

I'd love to see a modern interpretation of Terra Nova or Heavy Gear. There are few games about infantry equipped with powered battle suits and heavy weaponry, which I find sort of odd given how cool the concept is.

I think this can be seen here up north, where people fall through ice and drown every fall and (more commonly) spring. It's not a new thing – these people are almost always male, at least in their 50s, alone on the ice, and taking stup

I think you mean "NVIDIA and data centers have gotten enormous value".

China will almost certainly never reach the cumulative emissions that the US already reached in the 70s.

Not entirely coincidentally, given that both are Remedy games and share some key creative staff, in particular Sam Lake [1] and Petri Järvilehto. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Lake

They were dynamically tessellated on the CPU. These days we can of course do the same thing on the GPU, using tessellation/geometry/mesh shaders or even compute shaders, depending.

> when will we finally have quadratic surfaces or some other solution for that? Truly quadratic? Not with any technology resembling current GPUs which are all about computing strictly linear (/affine) functions as fast as possible.

As someone who played the game back then, I didn't read the article as suggesting the techniques were surprising, particularly innovative, or unique to Max Payne. Just as a case study of one of the games that used those tricks to parti

The iNaturalist app is incidental, merely a means to an end – an end that's fundamentally social in nature. Like Wikipedia. The software merely enables the mission. This is his (very valid) viewpoint, I believe.

Mostly, it's retro aesthetic for people who actually did not grow with CRT displays.

People have varying sensitivies to flicker, but the refresh rate of even basic cheap CRT monitors was something like 75 or 85 Hz, which most people found essentially flickerless. Higher-end monitors would go up to 100 or 120 Hz, one of the

Unfortunately I don't think there's any reason to assume that you're a representative sample of LMArena users.

To be fair, they also made several infamous hardware design choices back in 2016, all of which they’ve later reverted.
