If we can't find instances from before 1930 then we can't expect an AI trained on information we can find to know about instances before 1930.

The counter is that if it is possible to simulate the universe, then all of our experiences drop out of the structure of the simulation, independent of whether any computer is executing the simulation. In the same way that 42 remains 42 eve

But 1931 is after 1930? Are you already aware of terms that will only be coined in 2027? But 2027 is so close, why shouldn't you already know?

Perhaps you're taking the npm/react/vercel world to be the entire web? I agree that that stuff is a scourge. But you can still just write html and Javascript and serve it from a static site, I wrote an outline in https:&#x2F

They're not that different, and it's a pretty good platform and pretty easy to program for. That's why it won.

So why do you only poll once per minute? You could be sitting around for 59 seconds while nothing happens. Maybe you meant to say "automatically" instead of "immediately"? Because if you really mean "immediately&quo

Oh, come on, if they do well on benchmarks people question how applicable they are in reality. If they do well in reality people complain that it's not a reproducible benchmark...

Conversely, I often find coding agents privileging the existing code when they could do a much better job if they changed it to suit the new requirement. I guess it comes down to how ossified you want your existing code to be. If it's

It can't grab out information that isn't there. If your ramblings are ambiguous then it has to make a guess.

It works in the case of a cube if you define the cube to be the intersection of 6 half-spaces. There is a video demonstration of it working (partly) on a cube defined this way in the YouTube link in my comment above. I define a surface to b

I don't know how you got that from what I said. EDIT: Oh, I initially thought that you thought that I was saying that it's OK for the government to coordinate assassinations but not OK for other people to coordinate assassinations

You missed out the reason that it's horrid, which is that it is a plausibly-deniable way to crowdfund assassinations.

Picking surfaces is easy. The distance field tells you the distance to the nearest surface at any point. You can have a "surface id field" tell you the id of the nearest surface to any point, and then when you raymarch to find

Only if it becomes obvious why it is flaky. If it's just sometimes broken but really hard to reproduce then it just gets piled on to the background level of flakiness and never gets fixed.

You're missing one very important type of curve: a clothoid (or "Euler spiral") is a curve of continuously-varying radius, these are encountered on roads very frequently. And especially on race circuits. A clothoid is used to

I literally don't get it. You're interested in Quality above all else, fine. You're upset that you have competitors who don't care about Quality, fine. So you make your website harder to use, so that... what?
