What if I want to allocate only 4 bits? I bet this is better optimized in Rust.

It's a pity those IMX and ISOCELL sensor chips are unobtainable from Digikey. Anyone with experience buying them in smaller quantities?

Yes, but sometimes the right question is "do I know enough about this subject to be asking questions about it?"

But the AI can teach you to do theoretical physics, by guiding you through materials it selected for you, helping you with questions, etc.

It's the other way around: the kickstand is on the left because people jump on their bikes by swinging their right leg. Therefore looking at a bike from the other side feels awkward because you don't feel the same urge to jump on

How they will approach it eventually will probably be to let a diffusion style model render the image, then run some algorithm to convert that to svg.

It's all relative though. The rules of playing bridge (the card game) are much harder than understanding the rules around SIMD instructions.

> ASML moved to camera-style anamorphic optics that magnify the mask by different amounts along the two axes Does this mean they do high-resolution designs in the center of the lens and low-resolution designs in the periphery?

Yes, let's put the Overton window back where it used to be.

This is exactly the point. If storing random data was the norm (formatting utilities would offer it) then it would be hard to make a case against it. And it actually _does_ make sense for formatting utilities to offer it, as this is a good

Someone should write a disk formatting utility that randomizes the bits on your drive. Now you can claim that any encrypted drive (which just looks like pure noise if done correctly) is a drive that was just formatted.

The moat is the training data. But somehow we've collectively decided that it's not.

Apple may be on the side of privacy, but since they are competing everybody out of the market with their slick consumer products they actually form a threat to privacy since now the government has to only implement a backdoor at one vendor.

Maybe, but changing the font size of individual chars could already help.

Because they can. U.S. law and governance structures turn out to be completely broken. Hackable by the first administration that tries.

Another nitpick: why are only the button outlines having a jelly effect and not the texts written on them? This makes them feel physically unconnected.
679.
by amelius 3mo ago
No because touching the items cause the effects to become occluded by your finger. Also, the buttons on those spinboxes are way too small.
680.
by amelius 3mo ago
Too bad that most of the effects become invisible behind the finger that is triggering them.

You didn't say what kind of problems you solve with AI. It matters a lot if you are doing HTML versus C++, for example.

Next step: "the AI can't find a counterexample, so the conjecture must be true!"

Yes, Bash has no place in modern software engineering. The only reasons people still use it are historical and laziness. If it was invented today, professionals would cringe at it.

Yeah, folding sheets requires 4 hands. With a large distance between each pair.

It says "Small phone". And it is indeed smaller than most smartphones. Apple never made a small smartphone, presumably because they need the big screen for their vending-machine-in-your-pocket to sell more content.
