Neat! I think the website could use a bit more information about how the "global" Effect handlers work, and whether it's possible to opt-in to that functionality yourself when writing Effects. That being said I took a look at

I don't think this is an accurate characterization of the error magnitude? Their error plots (from appendix 3) are all showing `log_10(|Y - \dot{Y}|)` as having a median of ~-3 (difference of 0.001) and a max of ~1.5 (difference of 0.0

Would you like to elaborate why the math doesn't work out? An article explaining your position would be nice, but I'd settle for some broad gestures.

If you click into the code you can see that it depends on `wgpu`, which is a wrapper that uses whichever native API would be appropriate for the platform you're working with. If you run the native compiled version you won't be usi

Fun article, but the repeated use of what I'd call "AI punch-up language" is a little distracting.

This was a thought-provoking read. I'd be interested to see someone walk through an application designed with some of the duplication mentioned towards the end.

I'm curious. Aside from this general criticism of Doctorow, do you have any specific criticisms of TFA's contents? Any thoughts about whether reverse-centaurs are something that should continue to exist? Perhaps something about ho

No-one can know that for the next dozen hours or so. There were no early review copies, which means no-one knows if Silksong benefits from knowing the story, mechanics, or world of the first game
