It may be incompetence. Most of big tech today no longer understands why someone would build an app, a business, or a project for reasons other than seeking to extract money from the market. It is ironic, because most of the big tech compan

This is definitely at least one contributing factor to the situation. But another one is that many medics sadly refuse to learn from a patient. Even when the patient is an expert in practice. A cure for these kinds of issues in medicine and

I completely agree with the author. T1Ds must take care of themselves. Doctors and nurses suffer from Dunning-Kruger massively. They will quite often be confidently incorrect. I’ve seen this living in large cities in the US and Europe. Or y

Doesn't matter. ASR is FSR2-based. It's just upscaling and sharpening with a proprietary shader. No neural nets are involved.

Maybe that was once the case (possible), but I played Fornite for a while and I never had to pay for it, nor did I feel confused by whether I’m paying for something or not. The game is very successful and well-made. It is AAA-quality. An AA

Maybe for the moment it would be better if the AI companies simply presented their chatbots as slightly-steered text generation tools. Then people could use them appropriately. Yes, there seems to be a little bit of grokking and the models

I don’t know. It could be a misleading step. Take social media like Reddit for example. It has a filtering mechanism for content that elevates low-entropy thoughts people commonly express and agree with. And I don’t think that necessarily e

Yes… is knowledge with lower entropy in society more true? That sounds to me like saying ideas big echo chambers like Reddit or X hold are more true. They kind of have a similar low entropy = higher visibility principle. But I don’t think m

by caseyy 2y ago
This makes sense. Low semantic entropy probably means the answer was more represented in the unsupervised learning training data, or in later tuning. And I understand this is a tool to indirectly measure how much it was represented? It’s an

I think you may be projecting, because you are acting a bit like a keyboard warrior — telling others to see therapists. Consider that other people have different views, that is all. To some, the cause (principle/life goal) of exploring

Not bravado at all, if I was given those odds today, I would put all my effort into it and go. There are many people who are ideologically-driven and accept odds of death at 50% or higher — revolutionary fighters, political martyrs, religio

A lot of people are taking issue with the fact that you need to say yes for progress. I don’t know how one could always say no and expect to have anything done. Every kind of meaningful success involves negotiating risk instead of seizing u

In the games industry, we generally try to write code that can be maintained by an average programmer. I would at least add more comments for context. Some teams have other ideas, like self-documenting paradigms with small functions and des

It could use more verbose variable names and comments to give the reader more context. So the bus factor is very low. If this programmer leaves the team and their large codebase like this is left behind, it will likely become a calcified le

I must admit, despite programming games for a long time commercially, that code is not very clear to me. If the code is perfectly legible to you, can you explain how R_DrawPlanes draws the ceiling and the floor, step by step, as a practical

It depends on the definition of "new". With some definitions, we may claim that nothing is ever new — we may say computers started with the Antikythera mechanism and abaci, or maybe before. With other definitions (like "new&
