Interesting. It's a shame there's no images or more info. I never saw the sim deployed, so I'd love to see if what they were discussing was the same I'd worked on. For the previous question, it was an internal training s

Many, many years ago (20+ eek) I worked on a 3D simulator for the New York Subway (even though we were based near London, UK). They were upgrading it from the legacy video based system to an interactive 3D sim. There was something deeply fu

Please, please, clarify this bit for me. > All that day, kids got to see Mr. Stillwater’s hair dryer running under water in a fish tank. I thought I knew about electricity and water, but what I possessed was Conventional Ignorance posin

Right, and this is probably the important bit, sometimes a poor lubricant is worse than no lubricant, and its really important to understand when something like WD-40 should be used and when it absolutely should not. Let me explain. I ride

Oh no, its the AWD vs 4WD thing all over again. Is WD-40 a lubricant? Apparently, again, it depends!

I do not own many leather-bound books, nor does my apartment smell of rich mahogony, but this gave me a wonderful idea for visualising what my many ebooks might look like through an AR or VR virtual library experience.

I was hoping to read the comments here to understand once and for all what the difference between AWD and 4WD is. I'm still as confused as I was before reading the comments. It appears the answer is...it depends on the manufacturer&#x2

I didn't see any notice of this being CUDA only (like FlashAttention). I tried running on my Mac M3, python 3.11.8, following the quickstart (with the deviation of running it in a new venv). Got the following error: /attention-gym

I love the lo-tech idea. I hadn't considered this approach but I could see it working well for outdoor environments (with line of sight) where there is little infrastructure available.

Thank you, this has really helped educate me on the possibilities of the wireless communication aspect.

I'm looking for a way to run a simple motion detector (as in physical motion using a gryoscope device) and have this notify me somehow that motion has occured. The bit I get stuck on is how to enable connectivity so it can notify me fr

As someone else mentioned, the benefit of Jellyfin is it updates with newly added media quite consistently. I previously was a heavy Kodi user, on a small Android TV set top box. I now use Jellyfin exclusively, without transcoding as you me

Yes, I'm well aware. I wasn't trying to conflate a CrowdStrike problem with a Microsoft problem. Having said that, in this particular incident, the problems were specifically limited to Windows OS.

I'm sure we've all heard the phrase "We're a Windows shop" in some variation. I understand the reasons for it, and why large, billion dollar companies try to create some sort of efficiency by centralising on one &qu

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I'll admit to still not quite understanding the queue part in concrete terms, I'll go back and read the article fully, but it still sounds like a queue is a series of small tasks which are ad

Bash may be native, but alot of the programs you'll want to call may not be, or will differ between platforms in subtle ways. Although this won't be a concern for small/trivial scripts, but if we're talking about python

The bit where it broke down for me was where they initially make the (great) point that agile falls down where small story points for simple tasks (which is accurate) are added to large story points for complex tasks (which is much less acc

Build a simple application that requires you to persist data. Reading a book will help get you started, but it will have so much more value if you've actually encountered the problems or situations the books discuss. Honestly, trying t

I'd suggest a slight change in strategy. After 12 months, don't ask people. Just start gradually taking things away. Those that contact you to ask why it's missing are the ones who probably find it useful. The scream test wor

Whatever name is used will inevitably become normalised. Changing the name isn't going to move the needle on people accepting the magic AI fairy dust. I wish I knew what would. I'm sick of seeing it thrown into everything due to c

A general rule of thumb I follow is "Do I need to output fact or fiction". For fiction it's great. Facts you need to be much more careful with and ensure you validate.

Relevant quote from the comic genius of Spike Milligan. “Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.” If you've never heard of him, it's well worth reading some of his books (see Memoir

Yes, exactly this. Helium 3 isn't naturally occurring on Earth, and is very expensive. Nasa are already running challenges for the best way for rovers to process/mine the moons surface. https://www.nasa.gov/learnin

Out of interest, what do people think is going to happen once humans can semi-reliably get to the moon? I don't often see this part talked about. I read lots about the astronomical (thank you!) cost and effort of getting there, often f
