I would challenge that it is really a vast majority working at these highest levels of abstractions. There are thousands of people working on C#, Java and JavaScript runtimes and basic libraries. There are thousands of people working on c

If you want a "raw" driving experience, you need to go on a race track in a "proper" race car. I use the quotes because you could come up with very diffferent definitions for them depending on your particular perspective

That is wishful thinking. Every layer we added between humans and the machines (and even the ones in the machines themselves) take hordes of dedicated humans to maintain: IDEs, compilers/interpreters, linters, CI tools, assemblers, lin

Sometimes (only sometimes, I promise) I wonder whether this kind of legislation is being dreamt up by a think tank tasked with planning how to implement some ulterior goal (e.g. massively increased surveillance to fight crime - it's fa

I haven't even had a cursory look at decoders state of the art for 10+ years. But my intuition would say that decoding for display could profit a lot from GPU acceleration for later parts of the process when there is already pixel data

Slightly more technical: every function that is continuous on a finite support can be expanded into an infinite Fourier series. The terms of that series form an orthonormal basis in the Hilbert space over the function's support, so thi

I had to deal with the DS-160 multiple times over the year. I don't think you give justice to how bad this website really is. I have started to notice that these "timeouts" are very random. At the worst times, the session &qu

I do not understand what point you are trying to make.

No, MIDI is absolutely not isomorphic to sheet music.

by gmueckl 1y ago
Music notation is definitely not one-dimensional because it encodes simultaneous occurrence and simultaneous time-progression of independent pitches (e.g. a sequence of cords played legato).

Digital video is a big enough amount of data that replication at scale takes up a significant amount of netural resources and energy. That is true both for storage and transmission/streaming.

When your source material shows fast sweeping motions you'd certainly get away with that.

I intended that line to be ambiguous. My real point is that whatever their true motives, they have managed to shed a lot of the Evil Empire appearance and younger people weren't even around when the really bad behavior was at its peak.

Oh, I honestly didn't remember the VS Code extension shenanigans. Thanks for bringing that up.

Then you surely have a laundry list of examples from the last 10 years where MS showed the same anticompetitive nature that they had in the 90s.

This comment comes some 15 years late. Microsoft runs the biggest org on github and has open sourced a lot of their own code under permissive licenses. IE has been dead and buried for ages. Edge doesn't have even close to the same mark

It is absolutely not semantic. A deeper understanding is acomplete enough understanding of the relevant quantitative theories (e.g. classical mechanics) and the ability to to apply them to a system (real or imagined) to the point where it c

These models aren't rigorously deriving the future state of a system from a quantitative model based in physical theories. Their understanding of the natural environment around is in line the innate understanding that animals and humam

When you walk into a store, you can see and touch all of these products. It's intuitive. With all this LLM cruft all you get is essentially the same old chat interface that's like the year 2000 called and wants its on-line chat we

I like that idea. The printing process should probably be inverted: cool the paper as a whole to darken the whole sheet amd use a small heating coil to erase.

I was indeed not thinking about deliberate attacks. But that doesn't change the result much as I assume that the CASTOR containers that I used as reference are designed to withstand all of these worst case scenarios.

I'm not filled with optimism about this concept. Let's work backwards from crash safety (say a reactor on a truck getting t-boned by a freight train). The radioactive material needs to be held in an armored containment to avoid re

I don't see why the result of a Hamas surrender wouldn't be a new organization with the same goals and methods. A surrender by itself is just a formality. But what is the real plan here? What would realistically come after that an

My argument isn't as much about the tech as it is about managing risk on the bank's side. Imagine claims like "the XYZ bank app mangled my input and now my money is gone". I'm certain that people have sued for less.

You're ignoring an elephant here: Apple meticulously enables these extras functionality exclusively in the EU. They cut these features out for the rest of the world as much as they can. In that regard, they feel like the corporate equi

The problem with banking isn't rooting itself as an attack vector, but the insecurity and laxk of reliability guarantees of rooted phones so that banks rightfully don't want any liability when something goes wrong with their apps.

Calling Blender an underdog isn't accurate at all. It has easily the most reach and biggest use base of all of them.

by gmueckl 1y ago
On the contrary, your project just became even more relevant. Blender badly needs an alternative/competitor. Everybody loses if a single project dominates.

I'm not changing any story here. All this "use a library" advice to juniors isn't as universal amd fast as everybody makes it sound. I always find that it sounds too discouraging. There is no magic in these libraries and

You assume that you always have a mature option available. That's (a) definitely not a totally generalizable assumption and (b) my point is that mature options only exist because the people that developed them just did it when confront
