Your solution seems tangential to the problem brought evident here, with how ICANN and VeriSign are able between themselves, to turn 22,000 or so tangible name registrations into dust, without any retribution or refund. The funny thing is t

This points to a more general problem with some of the Internet infrastructure -- since real people don't actually own domain names, much less e-mail addresses (assuming they use e.g. @gmail.com), they're always at the mercy of a

What are you referring to with "they released air tools"? I am not sure I am able to interpret your argument in any meaningful way.

I agree regarding metaphors, I myself aggressively utilise analogies with both myself and others, as a "digestive", but I feel like with LLMs we're treading on thin ice as it's not straightforward to classify a particula

There's been research done (I know, big words -- don't have any links readily available), where it was pointing to the fact that what goes easily in (into the brain) also goes easily out, and conversely, what the brain requires ef

For my part, the make-or-break part of these kind of visualisations -- assisting home renovation, and interior and exterior design and architecture in general -- has been lighting and materials, not [only] or in any meaningful part 3-D thro

This is the MVP comment. When you have a carpenter visiting you don't announce they can go into your kids' rooms (for reasons unrelated to the job is) and what not -- the [default] contract is they're there to do a job and th

I don't know, I was very happy when I discovered what Radiance can do with what you give it. I hear people get very good looking rendering with Blender, but my brain doesn't work like that (anymore?). Point being that not everythi

Thanks, I did some learning and it fell more into place.

Is transcription a form of _inference_ though? I mean I see the word being thrown around and I understand what it means (or at least I think I do) in context of LLMs doing the thing that they do -- intelligently predict the next token, but

Ok, I admit arguing about Git's merits, best practices, workflows and so on, can be hard online like this, not the least because I have limited amount of time I can invest in this admittedly very interesting to me discussion, so it req

No, boss -- you suck. See what I did there?

I think you missed the main point of my argument -- you, the game developer, aren't programming the hardware directly or through the kernel -- you are using a common abstraction in a competing set of abstractions that don't requir

If you want that, mandate developers use prefixes like `!fixup` and do `git rebase` _on your end_ -- why force upon everyone your ideas especially if it also squashes all development history? This also removes development friction because p

A linear graph doesn't do any developer in the team except Github (which isn't a developer in this context) any good because they have to pull down the graph at some point and when they have to fix something, although they will be

My observation has been that those who have never learned Git properly -- disregarding for a moment the issue with what "properly" means here -- just don't think they need to, sticking to very simple workflows that produce li

I last wrote 3-D rendering code using hardware in 2005 or so. It was DirectX 11 or 12, I don't recall. I thought it was quite a mountain to climb. For my part, I grew up _implementing_ rendering pipelines, so I always had this sour tas

I seem to remember to have watched a recent comparison on YT between Second Reality using SB vs GUS, and I did appreciate an audible improvement with the latter, but it may have been a placebo -- I admit you may be right, as sources seem to

by hackrmn 4mo ago
Yeah, it infused my software engineering career and interest in optimisation and 3-D rendering. P.S. When we invent the time machine, we should go back to load up on actual GUS _and_ spread the word for people to never install it horisontal

I think a fundamental and flawed assumption in your general line of argument boils down to that line: > Social people will be fine Thing is, "social" is not only a scale, it's not even a line for scale. It's this mult

During my teenage years in what is today a post-Soviet country -- to put it in apt context -- I was briefly an absolutely ecstatic owner of a Gravis Ultrasound (Classic, I believe) card. I probably had spent my _annual_ extra income on that

Right, if what you mean is making the `=""` optional, then it seems even more attractive than types, I admit. You'd have to amend the XML grammar to see if making the `=""` optional introduces problematic (for e.g.

Can you think of a minor syntax error example that you believe should be corrected by the browser, and better than the author would (had the Web browser notified them early -- by aborting rendering as was the case with XML)? There's a

I think this is _the_ most popular criticism of HTML 5 vs. XML, that I have seen mentioned. Which is telling, quite frankly. It makes me think that the powers that be that pushed HTML 5 really had a different agenda than what they purported

I looked at CSTML, and frankly, it looks like any other improvement that upon first glance may seem like definite improvement, but the trouble with these dialects or ideas is that it's not the format that's hard to incorporate --

I agree we shouldn't have thrown the baby out with the bathwater -- and it's not like _strictness_ was not in XML's spirit, so your usual suspects for primitive types -- numbers and booleans, to name a few -- _could_ have bee

Every time XML comes up, I feel obligated to share my opinion (I too wrote XML a the turn of the millennium and have seen it become and still witness on occasion it being excommunicated). XML is verbose and therefore uglier than it ought to
