There is that one shot where his marble divider tips over and 100 marbles fall out. You can see the tears welling up in his eyes... my guess is that he was at the brink of depression if not full on depressive at that point. He addresses tha

Funfact: you can probably JIT compile that using JAX for an easy performance gain.

Can you recommend some resources to go from step 3 to 4? So far I have been successfully using GLMMs where appropriate, but then jumped to implementing completely arbitrary models by fitting them to the data (plus bootstrapping). But that t

One thing that immediately jumps out to me is that he had to increase font size a lot compared to what you'd use on a normal screen. I wager the guess that this is due to the "low" resolution that HMDs have. The last HMD I us

The question is: where do you draw the line? * The SAT wrapper? * The SAT library? * The math library the SAT library depends upon? * The LibC? * The operating system? * The processor? * The lithography machine manufacturers? * The guys tha

"Blondyhacks" on YouTube is currently in the process of build model steam locomotive. You might want to check that out.

Yeah ... As an exclusive Linux user for almost 20 years being forced to work in Windows for the first time is super weird. The two things that trip me up are that you able to move windows to a position that you can't move them away any

And, in the case of Toyotas eCVTs, keeping the ICE in the most-efficient-rpm sweet spot longer by allowing the ICE RPM to be pretty much independent of the wheel RPM. It's somewhat strange because RPM noise barely correlats with speed

No, but on some level line and plane equations are similar too. It's more about splitting bodies into convex parts to speed up the calculations. (tbh it's been 20 years since I did that by hand ... but I would assume that the unde

> only 2d is considered I guess that's because the concepts transfer nicely from 2d to 3d. E.g. the math for circle/circle collision is basically the same as the one for sphere/sphere collision.

Do you have some resources on that?

I guess at some point a (modal) GUI is more space efficient than individual controls. At some point cars had screens, surrounded by physical buttons. I always thought that was a great compromise.

I guess the thing with sound systems is that Hifi has basically not evolved in the last 30? Maybe even 50 years. I think the last tipping point was the introduction of Class-D amplifiers which provided "unlimited" power compared t

If I am not mistaken those touchscreens in cars are cheaper than the buttons they replaced (citation needed).

That statement made me laugh a bit. On some level a lot of games (e.g. those repetitive "open" world games) seem to b structured around wasting time. Collect 10 herbs, raid the hideout, activate the lighthouse, etc. Haven't p

Nope, a 2013 Yaris (XP13). To be fair I am mostly on rural roads (70-100 km/h) during my commute. But if I am not doing WFH I M doing 100km per day and with our family car that equated to >10€ Gas per day. So getting a used car with

As "someone with a Toyota hybrid": I consistently use about 1l/100km than that. (The dash keeps a "best milage" number, which is 3.8l/100km for me right now. At some point it becomes bike shedding, but a 20% re

There are economies of scale at play here. One large powerplant will be more efficient and easier to maintain than tens of thousand small ones. Distributed solar is also a regulation nightmare. If there is a fault in a powerplant you have e

TÜV should be relatively unbiased, that's literally their job. E.g. they post extensive reports on Total Cost of Ownership. Toyotas have less TCO than most VWs in those reports.

Yep ... Energy required scales (at least [1]) quadratically with speed, but time to target only linearly. We noticed that while commuting between two cities over the German Autobahn (A2). I could go 100 km/h and be in sync with the sem
