jQuery provided a DOM manipulation API that was the same in all browsers when there were lots of differences between browser implementations. While you could do everything using standard web APIs, that would be incredibly error prone and te

The paper is about biases in GPT-4. They're not talking to GPT-4 to determine things about the real world. They're talking to GPT-4 to determine things about GPT-4.

That “game loop” exists in the browser too. It’s just the main event loop, and it’s been there since the inception of JavaScript. Not saying everything that web developers aren’t reinventing the wheel, but I think the reason for it isn’t a

There’s a difference between your own democratically elected government spying on its citizens and some other government you have no control over doing the same. Not saying that it’s good that the Dutch government was spying on its citizens

I’d never seen this explanation of what a cross product is before. It really clicked for me, even just reading it as text. Thanks!

The 1999 equivalent for Nvidia stocks would have been something like Sun (as mentioned in the article) or Cisco (because they sold routers which everyone thought were essential).

A full body scan is a bit like p-hacking. If you have a hypothesis of what might be wrong and perform a specific test to see if some value is within normal range, there’s relatively little chance of a false positive. If you test everything

A NeRF is not the same as an SDF though. NGP (the paper by Nvidia linked here) can train NeRFs and SDFs, but I don't know of any straightforward way of extracting an SDF from a NeRF. And while it's true that there are methods for

Amazing work. I think there's a whole host of apps that just store some small amount of data for each user that could work entirely on something like this. Some nice things: - Anyone can host their own Matrix homeserver, which can then

For some additional context, when the original NeRF paper ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.08934.pdf ) was published 2 years ago, it reportedly took at least 12 hours (depending on hardware used of course) to train on the sc

For most people, having only the equations means they cannot build an intuition for what a fourier transform actually is, because they don't have a solid enough grasp of math notation to easily make sense of what the dense equations ac

That example you mentioned would be just a couple of lines of html with css (which you could inline if you wanted), and there are plenty of drag and drop tools for the web (WebFlow is a modern example, but they have been around for decades)

I think part of the problem is also that it's sometimes more difficult to implement a nice and usable design. Instead, it may be easier to write code that does everything it needs to, but forces the user to jump through hoops to get wh

Before Airbnb, your neighbour couldn't just start renting out (a part of) their house to tourists. In many European cities, and I imagine other places too, zoning laws and permits were in place that prevented that from happening. Then
