I stand corrected, the Bugatti is a hypercar. It's a bit embarrassing considering that I was in the workshop where they make the Bugatti engines just a few weeks ago. Awesome experience btw, seems to be part of the standard factory tou

Remember the six wheeled Tyrrell P34 F1 racing car? Admittedly, ony the rear axis was driven, but that was one badass car (and it won a Grand Prix). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrrell_P34

Acceleration was never really the top metric for super cars. It was more performance at high speeds, with high end cars like the Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300+ going up to 489 kmph (that is a lot in case you wonder). Part of the super car

So far I have only seen gaussian splatting used on photographic data. Would it make sens to use it for other graphics data, too. Or in other words, does it have potential to be used in games?

There is very little sympathy with them by the common people. They have really overdone it with sabotaging common people's everyday life and calling it a "peacful protest". By that logic locking them away for a few days can a

I think Google is being reasonably transparent here: - When this was introduced, Google asked my if I permit using those topics. I declined and now in the settings the toggle is switched off, just as it should be. - Your topics will be list

Take a look at a map, India is far, far more to the south than Germany. I have the feeling that some Germans would see solar power as a panacea even if they lived on the north pole.

by jansan 3y ago
Yeah, shortening energy supply when you already have a supply crunch is very good way to kill the economy. The only question is if this was done by stupidity or malice.

Germany will have around 12 GW new solar power installed in 2023 (with about 1/4th of the US population), so a little bit more per capita than the US. It is important to know that almost all of Germany is more to the north than the mos

Anyone else remember how much better Google was at the beginning than anything else? I had always tried the latest search engines like Ask Jeeves, Altavista, Hotbot, Webcrawler, etc. Once Google came around they all looked like total crap,

I was talking about general purpose autonomous driving. Special cases of autonomous driving have been in use for a while like trains (the Yurikamome in Tokyo started operation in 1995), buses driving on designated routes, Waymo cars that op

This. Once autonomic cars can safely and with confidence steer through a crowded IKEA parking lot on Saturday morning when it's raining we can say they are ready.

These were all the rage in the mid-nineties. The bookshops were full of image books with stereograms of dinos, cars, ships, etc. Suddenly it all died down and now it looks like a relict from a distant past, although it still is as cool as i

Can it do up to 130 digits precision?

by jansan 3y ago
For me the high precision calculator (with up to 130 digits precision) was the most (only?) useful part of the website. It was a life saver if you needed it. Really sad to see it go. https://keisan.casio.com/calculator

The high precision calculator was a true gem. I have used it a few times when I needed more precision than the 64bit that Javascript gives me. Is there an alternative somewhere?

In the middle of the article you see a line "RUST Full code for character replacement". If you click on that, it will show you the Wasm code. It looks like it uses Wasm to replace a sequence of dots with a glyph from the font, whi

by jansan 3y ago
Should be no problem. GSUB lookup type 4.1* uses a uint16 to store the number of ligatures, so 65000 ligatures should be feasible. To store the actual glyphs, 32bit offsets are used, so you theoretically have a 2GByte of memory available, w

The blog post talks a lot about how he got the frames into the font, but very little about how the animation works. AFAICT this is how it is done (edit: I am wrong, it uses Wasm): - The frames of the video are simply stored as glyphs in the
