I hate to be so cynical, but I'm dreading the inevitable flood of AI generated video spam. We really are about this close to infinite jest. Imagine TikTok's algorithm with on demand video generation to suit your exact tastes. It

The important thing is that multplying a polynomial by a constant doesn't change its roots.

I don't think we talk enough about the state of the world. Is our society creating the conditions for a life worth living? You can look at an individual and say, "Find meaningful work. Explore your passions. Connect with others.&q

Is this crankery? Seems like most of the content on the website ia written by one guy, but it tries to give the appearance of a large foundation. His bio says he works on "Unification Theory."

Exactly. And it's hard to overstate how little the average user cares about the AT Protocol. "You can change providers!" "You mean sign up on another website? Like when I moved here from Twitter?"

That's a good point. I meant "technical" in the narrow sense of working with modern or cutting edge technology. For example, to my knowlege he was not an avid or early user of the internet, yet he seems to have a good sense o

Ballard, like William Gibson, is one of those people that despite having zero technical know how, seems to intuitively understand how people interface with technology. Crash is often seen as completely outlandish, but it's hard to se

I don't know Ansible well enough to say for sure, but the macro example seems like more of a C preprocessor style "macro." I don't see how it's doing anything more than filling in a template.

Are there any other outlets broadcasting in Israel that have correspondents in Gaza?

It's performing the projection in real time. It has to because you can change the perspective of the projection by clicking on the map.

Does this result apply to all LWE problems? Does this approach care about LWE vs Ring-LWE at all? If so, it's a big blow to systems like FrodoKEM that banked on unstructured lattices providing higher security.

Has there been a serious attempt to define an html/css subset that achieves these kinds of goals? Something that a mere mortal could implement and would cover the vast majority of web designs? I understand the urge to throw out the ol

I don't think they're arguing against abstractions. Just this one in particular.

The issue is that sometimes poeple just want 'X by Y'. To get a question answered, you shouldn't have to list every constraint and design descision that led you to that point. Comes up all the time when people ask how to do t
