I never understood why render to texture looks so bad in mirrors if it works so good in Portal (not a reflection but it seems like the same problem?) Isn't it just a matter of properly calculating the camera position/frustum so th

Yes. Basically cheats and anti-cheats became their own thing security-wise and huge amounts of effort are spent (by both sides) on this cat and mouse game. Although both cracking (as in "software cracking") and cheats were very si

Not sure why you were downvoted. This is exactly my experience. TikTok content is just better. All Instagram feeds I've seen are boring attention-grabbing videos from so-called influencers. TikTok is grandma cooking pasta, my weird cou

No-RTO is the workers finally realizing they have actual power over management (thanks COVID!) We don't need to provide any numbers to the business because we don't care about the business when thinking about RTO. It's for us

Question for Playdate owners: How good is it as an actual game console instead of something to tinker with? I've been tempted to buy it, but I can see myself just tinkering with its SDK, not playing that much. At this point I'm ac

People are talking about embeddings in these comments, you'll get plenty of info and keywords here.

What you're describing exists. It's called "embeddings" and it's one of the first steps ChatGPT does to do its magic and it's indeed very useful. What renders this useless is reducing the dimensionality from th

In the bottom left "?" button it says it performs PCA down to 3 dimensions. That's going to lose a ton of information, rendering the space mostly useless.

Did a quick test and seems to work as expected: https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/sharedarraybuffer-33qywc (see console in https://33qywc-3000.csb.app/ ) Caveat is you need these headers for security

Are you sure about this? You might be mixing ArrayBuffer (which is a transferrable object[0] and gets zero-copy moved) and SharedArrayBuffer. From [1]: > The structured clone algorithm accepts SharedArrayBuffer objects and typed arrays m

That's a very nice way to put it, but in reality this turned out to be money not spent wisely and instead distorting the market. This often does not lead to innovation, see e.g. the absolutely zero innovation that we got from the crypt

TS is not interpreted. It compiles to JS, which is interpreted, but TS itself is not. There are no TS interpreters, they all compile to JS behind the scenes. Or does Deno run TS natively? At a glance it looks like even its runtime is writte

It is an output or, in FP terms, a side effect. But you're discussing semantics here while it's obvious side effects mean different things in different contexts so the conversation won't get very productive.

by kaoD 3y ago
If a program has no IO it can be reduced to not running a program at all (not counting side effects like the CPU getting warmer... but I don't think we'd count that as a property of the program itself).

Middle managers' job is to get the best out of engineers. If your direct manager does not set up an ambitious team with ambitious goals, what are you supposed to do? Ambition trickles downwards and is killed upwards.

I won't pay $0.25 for an article that's likely to be clickbait. I won't spend time fighting a refund on those $0.25 either. I'll just go elsewhere.

To add some numbers to sibling's comment, if a parameter is originally fp16 (a half precision float, I think this is what LLaMA was trained on) you need 16bit*7*10^9 ~= 13GiB of RAM to fit a whole 7B model in memory. Current high-end c

Seems like you (and/or your interlocutors) are using chat like it was a phone call and concluding a phone call is better to have phone calls.
