I'm pretty sure other companies solve this with very precise maps of lanes. Tesla still relies on vision only apparently. Lidar could help by providing accurate positioning. Though I guess cameras should be good enough for lane positio

Of course copyright applies to binaries too. It's long been established that compiled code is a derived work of its source.

I read the other piece and now this piece and it still reads like scaremongering to me. Sure there is hype and a lot of stuff will turn out to be bad. A lot of people (me included) will say "told you so". On the flip side, I do us

We have been watching and discussing the quality of our work long before these text generators came online. Have we been deluding ourselves into believing that code review is effective?

Sure an ad blocker improves the experience somewhat. But I try to keep adversarial relationships out of my life. I don't understand why people want to normalize this.

Can confirm, official page is first result in Kagi and below the fold in Google for me.

My theory is that there will be pernicious netting around lasers, and any sneaking drones will tangle themselves up far from the laser. So only straight mass attacks will work. If you have but 10 drones you'll be unlikely to take out a

I always hear this sneak up thing and think about how birds can be caught with netting. And all the barbed wire in old battlefields. I don't think drones will be able to meaningfully sneak up to a laser. Of course more drones works. Bu

We use Apache Artemis (Activemq). Mainly because it was the only system that would route large messages. It's from the Java ecosystem which is alien to us. So integration was not smooth but now it hums along fine.

I don't know what it is with people not accepting fluid dynamics. We can simulate wing performance just fine but they want clean formulas and physics just does not oblige. Seems like a them problem, not a physics problem.

Easy, you stay in the air by accelerating air downwards. Physically, you make sure to collide more with air molecules from below than from above. It's called angle of attack and you can experiment with it by sticking your flat hand out

There are enough ambiguities between language libs, even different versions of the same lib, that transpilation will always depend on verification. It'll work for toy examples. For nontrivial code the generated transpilation will flame

The best description I heard of Python is "glue for C libs".

I frequently ask people whether they can discuss the diversion later with whoever is interested. It's not just me but part of company culture. In other contexts I'm notorious for keeping people on the agenda. It's generally a

> There is nothing mediocre about the search engine I agree. The search index is great, the presentation is shitty. As for maps: The most prominent features on it are ads. The rest is low contrast. For navigation the map is really bad. T

Funny hack. Without having read the paper I'd assume the operations to be thermally unstable. So LLM inference results will vary based on environmental temperature :-)

Thank you. When I want to know astronomical distances, I use the speed of light to get a sense. Moon? One second. Sun? Eight minutes. Time units are more approachable than distances I will never cross.

You seem to have confidence US stocks will not become worthless in a future war. Why?

I tried, and Kagi is better in some aspects like ease to edit questions. Haven't seen any a downside yet, and the option of creating multiple profiles seems interesting.

The example is not just boolean logic! In Lua logical ops, the last evaluated value is returned. The example makes use of that to assign something other than a bool. Not all languages do that. In Java for example, boolean logic always evalu

I've been wanting to try and see whether I can consolidate my phind.com and my kagi.com subs by upgrading my Kagi plan. They are kinda forcing me to try now :-)

Fun thing to study and read about. The differences are quite small though. Wouldn't the error bars dwarf the differences? I'd assume you could tweak various assumptions and easily arrive at another conclusion. I know that the Roma

The linked cases disturb me but they are about criminal investigations. Not "reserve the right to search your device at the border".
