Amusingly, I had a third interpretation, which is "busted" as being too strong. I realized that when the author started talking about the Amiga though that's probably not what they meant (as busted is a fairly modern gaming t

For one, roundabouts turn what would be a T-Bone intersection into a glancing hit. I think that's the biggest safety benefit. They also improve the flow of traffic since there's no starting and stopping (think of it like a stoplig

I think you have to be a bit careful here, since if the profiles are too different from what you'll actually see in production, you can end up regressing performance instead of improving it. E.g., imagine you use one kind of compressio

I suspect you know this based on the detail in your comment and just missed it, but parent is talking about FDO, not BOLT.

Not even then, a truly fully connected network would have super exponential runtime (it would take N^N time to evaluate)

It's mentioned in nested comments, but (as you'd probably expect) meta does not intend to store passwords in plaintext. There was a bug where they were logging plaintext passwords for some period of time e.g., when someone tried t

But hey, at least you can reserve your 1.7 billion in batteries with only a $1,000 deposit! On a more serious topic, they seem to have their economics backwards a bit when it comes to battery prices. They say "And efforts to scale batt

On the one hand, sure, I like nice things. On the other, there is legislation to cover this, but you're exempted if you're making typical software engineer salaries (this varies state to state I think, it's not federal, but i

I would have assumed it would take many years longer than that to scale something like this up, based on how long it takes traditional CPU manufacturers to design state of the art chips and manufacturing processes.

I think the numbers in that article (the CAS latency) are the latency numbers "within" the DRAM module itself, not the end to end latency between the processor and the RAM. You could read the article on the latest AMD top of the l

I don't think it's ignorant to not invest in something that has a decade long path towards even having a market, much less a large market.

I think the real value would be in ease of use. I imagine the top N chip creators represent a fair bit of the marginal value in pushing the state of the art forward. E.g., for hobbyists or small shops, there's likely not much value in

Other industries seem to be fine competing with other countries. Would there be some greater investment in manufacturing in the US if there were no labor (or environmental) constraints? Sure, but the fact that other industries compete just

I imagine you'd be paying more in ML costs than YouTube makes off your views.

This is fascinating to me because I once tried to take a (vaguely) similar approach to generate a procedural city layout, taking a voronoi diagram, and then doing some modified flood fills to create buildings within the city while leavings

Don't you think "Ukraine's invasion of Russia's Kursk Oblast" is a bit of a weird take?

It depends afaict. OLED screens have a per-pixel light, and they turn off pixels to make black. LCDs have a single large backlight and pixels that the light shines through and they can change color (but not turn off) so in that case they tu

I would categorize them as either apathetic (almost all of them) or the privacy advocates.

It depends on your POV. Privacy advocates would argue no, but basically all the major players (google, websites, and the rest of the ad ecosystem) except for truly independent web browser developers (of which... I don't know if there a

I don't have access to the article, but they're saying the issue is due to client side ack processing. I suspect they're testing at bandwidths far beyond what's normal for consumer applications.

My understanding is that Boom is planning to implement technology that prevents sonic booms as we think of them.

They seem to be iterating on this (or less graciously dumping something and moving on). The latest thing seems to be called hydro https://github.com/hydro-project

I looked at the bloom repo and it seems somewhat stale, do you know if this is something still being worked on?

This isnt a cryptographic problem really. The loan checker is already trusting your bank to give them the correct information, it's only a matter of anonymization (e.g., they could return merchant types instead of merchant names etc.,.

Is the idea that you'll check replication status after making each write? Or I guess you could do this at the application level, like after completing a transaction to e.g., sqlite check that there's at least one other zone caught

This is replication between zones, not within a single zone.

Yeah, I realize this will never be useful for much in practice (although maybe as some kind of client side prediction for cloud gaming? But likely if you could run this in real time you might as well run whatever game there is in real time

I'm not certain where it would fit in, but my thinking is this. There's been a bunch of work on making splats efficient and good at representing geometry. Reading more, perhaps NERFs would be a better fit, since they're an ac
