How is water consumed by training? Or are they talking about manufacturing? I get the feeling this is trying to amortize the water used in manufacturing to individual conversations, which makes no sense to me.

I figure it’s semi trucks that do almost all the road damage. We could just tax the trucks, but that would just get passed along in higher prices for everything. So might as well pay for road repair out of the general fund than have special

This brings up other questions too. Is the state on the client? How does one reconcile the server state and the client state. Is the client state a subset of server state? Is the client state a tree matching the view tree? Does the state co

However besides recommendations Google is removing content and some of this removal appears politically motivated or perhaps government agencies are asking for its removal. This aspect is very bad.

I generally like the YouTube recommendation algorithm. I would hate to see it go away. On the other hand, I can foresee a recommendation algorithm that would potentially be problematic for society. It might be interesting if 3rd party plugg

I think the OS should provide the ability to select items and then give opaque handles to applications. The app could send a message to the OS to display photo selector. The OS could send a message back with a handle to selected photo. One

However, one typically needs to write out a description of the “C” interface. And if the “C” header files are large it can be a lot of work. For example, I’m unaware of any complete Python bindings to the win32api, user32, kernel32, gdi32.

There is something I don’t understand. socket recv() is blocking by default. If blocked in recv() there is no safe way to exit the thread. One can set a timeout, but I can’t imagine this works well with lots of threads with a recv() on each

How do you render fonts on the GPU? Do you use pathfinder, something else, or roll your own?

I don’t think they are GPU backed. Fonts are rendered with CPU and draw really slow. The same with graphics primitives like lines, ellipses. A QML scene graph supports only text, images, and rectangles and the text is CPU rendered. Windows
