Ah right, youre right it's probably the interleaved bits (aka Morton code) in actuality. Or more likely, something tuned to the specific cache sizes used in the GPU.

Texture memory is still stored like that in modern chips (presuming they meant Hilbert curve organization). It's so that you can access 2D areas of memory but still have them close by in 1D layout to make it work with caching.

You don't get paid for solving the problem, you get paid for transforming the problem using software such that people become dependant on software to "solve" it. Now you can charge them for it. You can also insert software in

I don't care one mote about solving problems. I program because it's fun and I'm good at it, so I have no space for bullshit MBA puff like "solving problems" (it's not) "making people's lives better w

More or less, with the addition that many people are running the computer in near lockstep allowing a consensus on the true global state of such a computer and so for its execution to be trusted.

equating LGBTQ people with sex and sex only already implies you don't think of them as people. Nor do you care about the experiences of LBGTQ children

One can build a camera that captures the angle of incoming light as well as its brightness at each pixel. This is called "4D" photography, or now more commonly called Light Field photography (like the Lytro camera). This captures

I would argue that with further knowledge (e.g if we figure out Quantum Gravity), these interpretations will no longer apply at all, as they are equivalent descriptions of an incorrect (or, "effective"/approximate) theory. I

It's not that novel, they're just computing the "directional derivative" in a random direction. It's similar to the research OpenAI has done on Evolution Strategies - basically, trading off a more noisy gradient but

One outcome being more probable than another in MW can be interpreted as that outcome being more likely to have occurred in your past. That is also what the frequentist example is measuring, not which outcome is more likely but which outcom

It's not possible to distinguish between many worlds or any other interpretation, so it will never will be confirmed (nor will the Copenhagen interpretation). The only ones that can be confirmed are the "objective collapse" t

The issue is that to move 80x24 dots independently you need 80*24 physical actuators (or an enormous mechanical multiplexer), which is very expensive. Industrial looms and knitting machines have that but nothing much else does. However, the

No, because dark matter concentrates around mass, which requires it to be able to be at rest to normal matter.

Unfortunately, the makers of that wonderful technology neglected to leave a manual, process chart or even a blog post, so we have to recreate it from the mud our way.

Words are like letters making up ideas, not ideas themselves. Having more than 26 letters wouldn't make us more expressive, and having fewer (like many extant languages)... wouldn't make us any less.
