I think part of the matter is that people who can program have much better alternative career options. Making money from art is much harder than working for an established company. Video games and animations are essentially computer art, bu

I have started to prefix my actual comments with another character after the comment character, e.g., #: in Python. Then I know which comments are “real,” and which are just garbage code that can safely be ignored/deleted.

Is that illegal? If not, their actions are not exactly nefarious. Sharing unpublished knowledge is a boon to humanity. (Not that the Chinese are publishing their “findings” openly.)

I use icecream: `ic(debug_expr)`. Not as concise, of course.

Ignoring them is pretty easy. The beginners should learn the art of selective attention anyway.

Publish it under AGPL, after your paper has been accepted. If criticism surfaces after your paper has been published, great, you can now write a paper about your V2. Science progresses by criticism, after all.

My guess was the DOM, too. But why does the DOM only exist in the web UI tech stack? There aren’t analogous constructs in other UI stacks (e.g., Windows Presentation Foundation), are there?

FYI, mpv can open youtube links directly (using youtube-dl under the hood, I think).

Is it possible on iOS as well?

Why are web apps so much worse performance-wise than cross-platform UI toolkits? Is it a result of the web’s historical baggage, or are the tradeoffs inevitable?

Iran uses comprehensive standardized exams to sort university admissions (the population of the test takers vary between 100k and 600k), but pretty much anyone with a STEM high-school degree can get admitted to some university. The worst un

That’s fair. If someone wants to get a degree in a “field” that is not contributing to the society’s GDP, the degree is most likely only good as a signaling device for its holder. Paying their signaling cost out of the tax payer’s pocket is

You know who else brings up the boogiemen every time they are caught red-handed? The Islamic Republic of Iran. Why, they are currently saying in their own media that they hitting the Ukrainian airplane with missiles was a heroic act that av

Between public “popular” forums, it very well might be. What alternatives are there? I don’t know any big subreddit that has as smart people. Lesswrong has more intelligent people (probably), but it’s a much narrower, more technical forum.

I guess the OP means that it would be too late to replace the AGPL code if the company has already published a version including it. My unexpert opinion agrees with the OP.

Not really. I recently played with HuggingFace’s biggest (around 6 billion?) language model, and the difference between it and GPT-3 was very noticeable. I think that if the models used in typical applications are much less powerful than Go

My Brother printer's Bonjour server is wonky, and sometimes the only way it works is if I myself start advertising its IP on Bonjour. Even that doesn't work perfectly, e.g., double-sided printing does not work.
