I enjoyed reading this, but had to filter so much overhype out of the article. The author should consider reducing the dose of caffeine. One thing is that the ideas noted here aren't really unique to Miyazaki. The game industry once sh

Not really sure, but I can't stop thinking that, perhaps, simpler models can perform similarly, and that this is just an attempt to find a problem that fits to the existing solution. In this specific case, the problem space is so well

“Make” is too general to be distinctive. Say, they have to compete with GNU Make, makerspace, and all the online forums related to general creative hobbies. Quoting “make” would not help your google search.

The context here is that, when AI was overhyped last time , the whole field collapsed to the level below ground. You see, overhyping doesn’t exactly help the field: (1) researchers need consistent investment over a long period of time. (2)

Yeah, that's kinda sorry state of Deno right now. We have more than pure JS/TS ecosystem that NPM used to thrive on. The backend market is already leaned toward Go. It's the best language for microservices. We also have WASM

Yeah, I know. I'm just a type of person who (over-)reacts to blind appraisals and optimism, which never dig into the actual details. Many people lick the surface, wow, party and leave - which is in the direct collision course with peop

I don't know. I'm very skeptical about the recent TUI approaches. At least that's NOT what the current infrastructure is designed for. I personally believe we really should graduate from the terminal infrastructure that w

by esjeon 5y ago
Yeah, there's some discrepancy that doesn't make much sense to me. It's more like terminal is a fashion to those people, rather than a practical choice. The fact that their SSH website is painful to use across the pacific o

Kicking ass is one thing, clearly it's an expensive hobby to following through the chipmaking history. The dedication is impressive, but, as long as his hobby doesn't affect the current paradigm, he's not kicking ass, but jus

I’m highly skeptical about AI-replacing-subtitle-as-a-whole. We all know what’s the problem: the quality. We already know that translation is difficult. We already know that acting is difficult. The only feasible outcome here is deepfaking

OMG, who coined "the term"? "web3" is a name of a project, not a general technical term that people agreed upon. This is a marketing scheme, and mere delusion from a cult of people that never clearly and strongly defined

"Analog" AI computing? Maybe this one? https://analog-ai-demo.mybluemix.net/ The concept isn't that difficult, and there's a cool demo on the page.

Yeah, you're right. I was somehow assuming RSA. For anyone not familiar with this, 256-bit ECDSA is considered to have the same security as 3072-bit RSA. A lot of large shops use 2048-bit keys, and GPG folks think 4096 is "unneces

The title is misleading, but it gave me a good time. Imagine all companies are sending sensitive documents encrypted with 256-bit keys. Oh, shit, that's a true gold mine. Park near a corporate HQ, scoop up some WiFi traffic, decrypt, a

Hmm, I believe someone should've already worked on a pure-software solution for this. I mean, when you say KVM, you gotta double tap Scroll Lock.

You can use `udevadm monitor` or venture into `dbus-monitor` to capture events from udev.

Mathematica is the worst when it comes to pure number crunching, because they use unstructured arrays. Much more flexible, but much slower.

by esjeon 5y ago
Yeah, so I usually consider Mathematica as a fast prototyping tool. It offers some optimization tools(i.e. packed array, compile), but I find myself rewriting a significant portion of the program while trying to apply them. They work, but o

BT, as a community, is actually being challenged by cheap streaming services, like Netflix, Spotify, Youtube, Steam, etc. They are so cheap and convenient that even simple torrenting feels very slow and cumbersome.
