Robotics is already taking off. It’s just not evenly distributed. I think several companies are being highly optimistic in their projections of millions of humanoid robots in five years. But, I think it’s the common mistake of overestimatin

It is a bit of a silly term. It was made mostly to contrast against the somewhat more adhoc methods that preceded it. The new technique was parameterized more around physical properties where the older ones were more about visual descriptio

In my use cases, I’ve appreciated how easy it is to cut out most of Lua’s standard library and run only the bare language. As a game engine guy, I’ve been setting up Lua to be used by semi-technical game designers. I know I’m going to have

I love Lost Highway . But, you have to watch the whole thing confused. Then have someone explain what's happening in the last scene. Then watch the whole thing again amazed. Also, the soundtrack was one of the first produced by Trent

Mark was nice enough to invite me to his home studio when I was a new high school grad to talk working in games as an artist. He told me the story of the fight over dithering. I give him strong partial credit for ending up a game engine

Some 15 years ago I recall some schools in California bragging about their success in flipping the school schedule around. They had students watch lectures at home as videos. Then during class they did "homework". Seems like this

AFAIK, a lot of mobile ad blockers work by proxying your traffic through their servers. There may be more, but the only one I know works totally local is Firefox Focus. You can install it, set it as the ad blocker for iOS Safari and never a

For quite a while now David Holz of Midjourney has mused that videogames will be AI generated. Like a theoretical PlayStation 7 with an AI processor replacing the GPU. But, I didn’t expect this much progress towards that quite this fast…

Yep. ROS is great if you are an academic or a garage startup who needs to get anything at all up and running ASAP because it is extremely flexible and has a huge volume of community modules. But, when it comes time to deploy serious busines

GPUs have much more memory bandwidth than CPUs. Meanwhile, the ALU:bandwidth ratio of both GPUs and CPUs has been growing exponentially since the 90s at least. So, the FLOPs per byte required to not be starved on memory is really large at
