Unfortunately from https://peterxjang.com/blog/ it seems that this has not been updated to reflect advances (like ES6 modules) that make things a bit more sane (for dinosaurs).

Yes - the answer from "Glorfindel" is the important one. Another way to think about it: when you're inside a web browser, you're using "code". When you're inside an airplane, or driving a car over a bridge

Here's an informative google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22finite+element+codes%22 I don't know about a recent uptick in "codes", but I know it is incorrect to attribute using "codes&qu

"Codes" is absolutely standard and common in settings like numeric or scientific computing (like, fluid dynamic simulation, large matrix linear algebra, constrained optimization). You could say this is because that community more

Cool game. I support and sport grey and gray hairs. The increasing number of words means increasing the length of the game, which seems like too high a price to pay for errors, even when errors are initially unavoidable. You might want to c

2019 is a long time ago in this space. I would be more interested in a recent comparison that uses WASI instead of Browsix-Wasm.

Thank you. Haidt is peeved that his professional org (SPSP) has a new anti-racism stance, and he finds one articulation of anti-racism (from Ibram X. Kendi’s book How to Be an Antiracist) problematic, so he’s bailing on SPSP. And you would

As the saying that is widespread in the business has it, “You can’t get lox without a note from your mother.” Fascinating!

This is from July 2022. Now that Stadia is shutting down [1], does that mean anything bad for Vulkan, I’m curious? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33022768

Nice find! So it was trained with dreamstime images. Do the output images come with licensing and copyright images, so that dreamstime can be compensated for downstream commercial use? What a legal mess.

Thanks for pointing that out, maybe I’ll try it. The question is, if I say “icosahedron” will it actually make a (3D) icosahedron

by an1sotropy 4y ago
None of the text-to-image tools seem to really understand 3D geometry, so I feel safe for now. Look at examples for icosahedron [1] vs dodecahedron [2] vs octahedron [3] None of the images were actually geometrically correct - is that quib

Seems very similar to the https://killedbygoogle.com/ that I learned about from other HN comments, and maybe not as up-to-date?

Yea this seems to be written to perform and provoke, not convince anyone: “Why does government continue to fight these battles that it is sure to lose eventually, and tolerate such carnage along the way? I suppose that is the great mystery

I was hoping for some explanation of how this is envisioned to augment or coexist with HDF, a popular existing format for scientific data (but didn't see one in the docs). Did I miss it?

The one-pager [1] ends with some points about auditing, but when I search for "audit" int the full-text [2], I'm wanting more details. It refers to GAO audits, and ensuring that arrest photographs are not stored, but I would

right, and the fun only really starts when the black frogs stop mating with the green ones; I don’t think that (speciation) was mentioned in the article

and it happened in about 10 generations, which is zippy for evolution

Thanks for this pointer. I’ve gone through the alt.2600.mbox files and it looks like they only cover 2002-2013, so only after the more interesting times alas.

My memories of using Tcl are that the language was shockingly simple (every line is a command, everything is a string), but as long as your goal was also simple, you could bang things out and be happy. As a C programmer, writing the extens

We know better now The archive.org alt.2600.mbox covers only 2002-2013. Maybe after google gets broken up, we'll discover that this data is still preserved, and can be liberated. We can dream.

Thanks so much for sharing the older MULTICS report; this is fascinating stuff.

Isn't this just a case of over-fitting? Recent LeCun has perhaps been over-fitted to Marcus's past writing. Maybe some augmentation (with new ideas) will resolve the issue?
