It shines the most in "soft computing"; computer vision, etc. These also tend to be the least-important areas to explain or audit, partly just because they're so trivial to verify with nothing but human intuition. Where it be

That's exactly what I'm arguing against: I think the "eating the world" part is a hype-cycle. I think DL has truly revolutionized a handful of very narrow cases - computer vision and speech recognition/synthesis, fo

I honestly think this would do great things for the country. Politically, I believe a major factor in our divisiveness has been a lack of cross-pollination with people who are different from us. People in the city stay in the city, and peop

Personally I think deep-learning is a bubble, and it will soon collapse to its natural place in computer science. Which is not to say that it's a fad that will disappear, only that it will retreat to being just a regular tool among the

You're making a lot of incorrect assumptions about my worldview, and I don't appreciate it. No matter how grounded one's perspective is, each person has a finite amount of emotional energy to spend at a given time. This is a

This question isn't so clear-cut. Go is still garbage-collected, which means that depending on what kind of program we're talking about, some well-memory-managed WASM code could conceivably still be faster.

I doubt there's anyone in our society who hasn't heard that adage at one point or another. Not that it isn't meaningful, but I don't think hearing it repeated again justifies the toll on mental health that comes with it

I'm going to go out on a limb and request that people not post this sort of thing here. HNers, I believe, have a higher-than-average rate of anxiety and psychosomaticism (myself included). Articles like this that don't include any

I've barely used Next.js, so take this with a grain of salt, but to me the whole "hybrid" approach where you statically-render-and-hydrate has always felt like one big heaping pile of hack. The amount of grotesque complexity

Node is best-suited for when your API itself does very little CPU work. When it serves mainly as a task-delegator to a DB, other APIs, local disk I/O, etc. All of these are non-blocked by JS and automatically handled by underlying nati

It seems like there's a real story here, but it's nearly impossible to get at through the cloud of hyper-dramatized storytelling.

split() itself is externally safe. Lots of stuff in the standard library is unsafe under the hood, including some of the core data structures.

I think it's more just that you have to go grab the console piece separately, in the same way that Ubuntu can't include the mp3 codec as part of its distribution even though you can trivially go and install it yourself for free

That's great to know about, thank you!

They compete with each other. Imagine how many indies one of the major consoles would draw by making it so much easier to develop.

That explains why they locked their platforms down, but it doesn't explain why they need to do that at the API level. They already totally control the storefronts and all software run on a console must be signed by them. That should

by _bxg1 6y ago
It's wild to me that even just the API would be so controlled. Is it not enough that they control signing of the software? Does this not shoot them in the foot when it comes to courting developers?

Godot really seems to be taking off lately. It would be very exciting to see a true open-source competitor to Unity and Unreal. Unfortunately I think it'll be held back on that front until it supports console builds, but still, it&#x27

That's surprising to me; I've always heard that it's better in Europe. It's possible that our definitions of "great", "good", "okay", and "a joke" are different. "Good" i

Most people here probably don't need convincing, but our friends and relatives might. My own mother sent me a link to the original video, I'm sad to say, and this (extremely well written) breakdown saved me a lot of time doing res
