Or the connectivity between universes is sparse, so that we only have direct connections to a few universes. I guess the set of all universes might still be a closed system in this arrangement. This is overall kind of an interesting idea, b

People seem to miss that Hue and Tradfri both have local APIs too (http and CoAP based), they work without an Internet connection. The bulbs themselves are ZHA compatible as well, you can pair them with your own controllers instead of the g

Even further back, arguably ed is the progenitor of vi and dates to 1969. Ed and ex were where vi got its terseness from. It was designed for a teletype or very slow modems, not an interactive terminal, which is why it was so terse. Emacs&#

Random or custom squads also add a lot of diversity, though I do agree that Into the Breach doesn't have quite as much replayability as FTL with its greater element of randomness in encounters. I love Into the Breach and have played it

I'm really hoping for mobile, Into the Breach would work really well on mobile due to its bite sized battles and clean UI.

Screenreaders usually break it down into chunks it can pronounce or spell it out character by character, with added cues to indicate punctuation and some other things. It's not as slow as it sounds though, most blind people have their

I wasn't suggesting buying a modern plotter, I was suggesting using a printing service as modern large format printers are expensive. Similarly I know pen plotters probably aren't totally out of use, but I can't find anywhere

by gh02t 9y ago
Pen plotters are pretty much extinct in commercial use as far as I know. They've been almost entirely replaced by large format printers, which are also called "plotters" but are really just large laser or inkjet printers. I j

For me it's more of a time issue. I'm really light sensitive, if I didn't have the window blacked out I'd be woken up at dawn every day. I don't have to get up that early for work, so instead the lamp does its thi

It's worth it to me. I like having my lights automated to respond to my schedule and coordinate with other sensors so that the lights come on and off automatically, fade to keep light levels constant, adjust color temperature to reduce

by gh02t 9y ago
For some people dimming/color changes/automation features etc are worthwhile. If you don't want that or the added cost isn't worth it to you then of course it doesn't make sense to buy something like the YeeLight,

I think another aspect of the current boom in AI is that it is model-less curve fitting (to use your description), and that this is both revolutionary and regressive. On the one hand machine learning algorithms let us solve fuzzy problems

Wow you're right, not sure how I missed that. Guess I just got too used to all those years of Broadcom chips being giant clusterfucks of patches and old kernels.

by gh02t 9y ago
I mean upstream support in the Linux kernel. The Allwinner chip is supported by the mainline kernel, the one in the Raspberry Pi is not. To me that's a big plus in its favor. Also in terms of support by the creators, if they're se

by gh02t 9y ago
Performance wise they are very similar, but you mentioned upstream support. That is actually a major point of differentiation between the two.
798.
by gh02t 9y ago
It's not identical to the RPi 3. Raspberry Pi is using a Broadcom chip, this one is an Allwinner H5. They are similar, but at least the H5 has far better support in mainline Linux. Still Mali, though. Which I totally agree is crap. And

Mathematica still has some parts that are nice though. Especially interactive plots (which you can do in IPython but not as simply) and some of the neat metaprogramming stuff. A big thing is that Mathematica (the language) is homoiconic, wh

Article says they are phasing out the old notebook interface but will support both for a while. Which is fine I guess, the main panel in Lab is basically the old notebook. The other kernels and stuff will still work, I've used them so

Space too, NASA turned to origami to design folding panels for radiators on space ships. Makes sense if you think about it, they need to compact a large sheet into as little space as possible and in a way that it can be unfurled smoothly. &

Is it just me or is it not animating correctly? It loads and I can pan/zoom around the sheet with the crease lines, but it doesn't actually animate the folds. I tried dragging the slider like the instructions say as well as trying

They're closely related though, since if the perf per watt is lower then Google can charge you less doller per perf. The price they charge you is ultimately tied to the operating cost.

Numba is nice, but it's another large dependency to pull in. If I can avoid it I will.

Honestly, NumPy is gonna be hard to beat even for someone knowledgeable in certain use cases, especially ones where the overhead in Python is trumped by time spent in library calls. It's the same reason that it's hard to beat MATL

Yes, as I said, that part of the business is now Keysight for the electronic test equipment and Agilent, which focuses on life sciences equipment.

Ah you're right, I had that mixed up. matmul should generally be the desired behavior anyway I'd think, the previous behavior of dot was a bit weird IMO, especially the behavior with a scalar. It's not backwards compatible, b

It's a bit depressing too, considering what the HP brand used to be. They used to be synonymous with the some of the most cutting-edge, best engineered test equipment and other electronics gear you could buy. Gear from that era like th

What do you mean? `A.dot(B)` and `A @ B` are the same thing for NumPy arrays. You might be mixing it up with the weirdness of `array` versus `matrix`, but that's totally separate.

Scopes and digitizers are actually extremely demanding in terms of throughput, plus they do a lot of specialized processing on the samples. Even mid-range models are using top-grade FPGAs and custom ASICs. Keysight's mid-range scope is
