I don’t see the problem you’re describing and my Steam library has over a hundred games. I think in general that as long as the game developers keep their individual files relatively small it all patches efficiently. I remember Starbound (i

I’m not saying it’s expensive, but that the service they’re offering is obtuse and anxiety inducing because you’re economically “punished” as soon as you stop playing. And they offer this service under their own brand and never leaving thei

Sure but now we are talking even more time and effort to spin up/down a computer whenever I want to game for a little while. Installing a Windows VM from scratch and then No Man’s Sky is still probably 20-30 minutes from start to gamep

(Edit: to clarify the below is about their cloud offering user since I'm on Mac and don't have my own PC to stream from) I've been using Parsec to play games like No Man's Sky and it's really impressive technologica

That's the one I show in my example above :) The final example shows how paired with variadic arguments very "weird" things can happen since your slice may come from an entirely different codebase and you may get very difficu

I was really expecting the slice WATs to carry on to talk about what I consider a real WAT: you have to perform robust checks on your input slice's capacity and length if you use append in a function, because append makes its own choic

Thanks! That clarifies a few things. Too bad this isn't covered in the blog post which was specifically about how Go implements maps efficiently. Here are two interesting things the post doesn't cover: 1) How the insert works and

Yup, that looks simpler than what I put in my comment. Do you know where the actual implementation is so we can confirm?

by blixt 8y ago
The article explains how you can get arbitrarily typed values out of the map using unsafe pointers, but it never really explains how they're put in. The insert example in the article uses a function that doesn't actually exist in

As you two have somewhat opposite memories/knowledge on the historical actions of media and science, maybe it'd be good to get some sources out in terms of old reports and articles?

Dasher is really impressive. I really like the idea of bringing it into VR and maybe it can be taken even further. If you turn the exploration into a 3D graph of X/Y options into the Z direction as opposed to 2D graph of Y options in t

The entire English dictionary has evolved into its current state, and there's several words that used to have the opposite meaning just from stubborn ironic use by the masses. As much as I like to be correct about my use of words, I th

I think that ship has sailed. The term "AI" for any behavior by a machine that changes based on input has been in use for at least over 60 years now. Whether it's the ghosts in Pacman, or a disembodied voice that tells you th

I'm not sure I'm reading the same thing you're reading. Yes, OpenAI has a mission to work on ways to make AI safer (that is, prevent AI from completing goals in unexpected, "hacky" ways) as it becomes more capable.

Would this be similar to past studies[1][2] in how stimuli responses (e.g., fear to smell) can be inherited between generations? The question is if we can ever transfer complex structured memories (knowledge, past experiences) or if these t

I don't think you'll get far with analogies to bots killing people. Maybe there is a narrative for automation leading to direct harm to humans, but Google Duplex is not currently close enough to that. Instead, I would change your

What is "smartly comparing lists"? To describe further (as I'm an ex-Spotify employee I have some outdated insight into how it works): Spotify has historically used machine learning to tweak a predictive engine that can conve

As someone with diagnosed celiac disease, it took a very long amount of time for me to get diagnosed. Already when I was around 10 years old I would go to the doctor and he'd say I might have irritated bowel syndrome but really, no tre

I see. The confusion on my part is that they used the term "e-paper" which I've now learned is an umbrella term including e-ink and any other technology that works to electronically replace paper. Based on cursory research I

I thought so too but the Pebble Time had snappy, colorful animations[1] that looked really good, and changed my perception completely on what is possible with e-ink. With regards to touch feedback, MacBooks come with a pretty hefty “haptic

I wouldn't be so dismissive about this. It doesn't really matter what bucket this security issue falls under. It also doesn't change much whether it's "idiotic" or not. The fact remains that the coding practice

I was thinking you can create a byte buffer of fixed size instructions that you can pass from Rust to JavaScript. With for example DataView you can fairly easily inspect that data in JavaScript. Or to keep things even simpler, if every clas

Cool! One question – you are moving a lot in and out of the JavaScript and Rust "worlds" in your render function. Have you measured the difference of just creating a simple data structure with the render instructions and passing t

The arm on the previous version was detachable so I think it’s fair to assume you can attach one to this new version too. Also I presume it’ll have all the same use cases as other bi-/quadpeds such as rescue mission reconnaissance and

My point is not about whether or not it's possible because just about anything can be done eventually. It's simply a case of what is more likely: 1) Bleeding edge algorithms that can not only separate multiple speakers in parallel

It is possible to see all traffic it sends, and possibly even fake certificate authorities (depends on how resilient the Alexa is to this tampering) and trick the Alexa into giving you the data it sends encrypted using a key that you contro
