Idk about the op study, but I could imagine confounders with instant coffee consumption.

Well yes, but the vast majority of changes (~95%, by either changes or lines) seem to be from contributors supported by employers.

This is neat and I don't want to be too snarky, but I had to chuckle as the specificity of "However, extending 3DGS to synthesize large-scale or infinite terrains from a single captured exemplar—remains an open challenge.".

Sure, but their company's 4.3 trillion valuation isn't based on how good their GPUs are for general purpose computing, it's based on how good they are at AI.

I think hydro storage is a lot less disruptive because you don't need as much space. Traditional hydro reservoirs have to last all season.

* until you get caching layers more complicated than the more complicated implementations :) Imo strong implementations can be much simpler and more predictable than caching.

Fwiw this is why I was thinking of a hardware solution, with some sort of hardware code shared via Bluetooth you could make it so it can't be shared online. It doesn't even have to be super cryptographically secured against someon

It's interesting to me to think about a possible system where people in say roblox can only chat with each other by exchanging physical keys somehow. This way, they would be able to chat with their peers from school etc., without the d

*It disregards the importance of ports. Even if an architecture isn't widely used, supporting multiple architectures can help reveal bugs in the original implementation that wouldn't otherwise be obvious." Imo this is true fo

Yeah, all I'm saying is I felt the description of how it worked was missing a few pieces.

I've found it interesting to think about trying to adopt data structures like CRDT designed for distributed systems to the problem of local consistency between CPU-local data structures spread across cores for parallelism.

It would be nice if before each box where rejected energy is an output, the inputs were split by rejected and non-rejected inputs.

Am I missing something? "This was the answer I needed! Rather than visiting all the live objects, I wanted to only visit the dead ones, and reference counting would let me do that. So I added a way of maintaining a reference count for

This seems like it could mess up local weather by bringing up water of different temperatures if deployed at scale (and if not at scale, what's the point?).

Jokingly, something about the idea of taking NP problems and making them into games seems cruel to the optimizer in me.

Many years ago I built a D3 graph based explorer for movies using the IMDB API. You would start by entering a movie title and it would pull up the similar movies from IMDB and you could click them and see more similar ones and they would al

Async code isn't supposed to be simpler than sync code, it's supposed to be simpler than doing thing like continuation passing.

This isn't far off from their point, albeit without the geoengineering. Reducing the green premium solves the collective action problem.

It's a fossil fuel, but burning it doesn't produce a greenhouse gas. It's similar to nuclear in the sense that it's a limited resource, but doesn't produce emissions.

As someone who was once a child trying to figure out how to compile and link things to use SDL, I think there's some educational value in letting people make games without having to dive deep into how to use C++ toolchains.

An interesting observation: "At that time, ensuring maximum CPU utilization was not so important, since you’d typically be bound by other things, but things like disk speed has improved dramatically in the last 10 years while CPU spee

Fwiw C++ has the exact same problem with moving/referencing into closures, see "Lambda capture" in https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/lambda.html .

User experience (for most things, unless you sit there encoding video all day) isn't really related to raw performance so much as latency. Processor power can help there, but design and at the limit memory latency is the key constraint
