Wait, my brain doesn't do backprop over a pile of linear algebra after having the internet rammed through it? No way that's crazy /s tl;dr: paper proposes a principle called 'prospective configuration' to explain ho

From what I understand, PoE2 has a fixed-perspective camera, so radiance is calculated in screenspace (2D) as an optimization (and not using a 3D texture). It would be interesting to see how the performance of this technique scales to full

I believe an announcement of the underlying translation tech was discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32049469 If this is the same tech (i.e. Bergamot project), I believe there is also a standalone online de

I cloned a copy of the repo a week ago; might be possible to find a fork? (I didn't fork it, though.) It's a pretty standard cpp codebase: might be windows-only, but I haven't gotten around to building it yet.

I've seen this been called a 'personal search engine' before. One person who is well known for their personal search setup is thesephist[0]. My friend is also working on an extension that uses NLP to semantically index your b

I enjoyed Linear Algebra Done Wrong [0], to be used in combination with a more traditional textbook, like Linear Algebra and its Applications [1] (which has some good diagrams). I've already seen it mentioned, but I'd like to

Afaict, frission isn't a quality of music itself, but rather a chill-like response you may have while listening to certain songs. If you get frission while you listen to a song, then yes, it counts as frission to you. Edit: but yes, th

So it seems Julia's multiple dispatch (dynamic dispatch for any function based on argument types) has a flaw: namely, if the types used do not match assumptions present in the implementation of the function (e.g. arrays start at 1), th
