It's a good point, I think it works better when the first number is smaller. For example: 199 vs 200 It's reasonable that at first glance people would look at the most significant digit for a reference.

Definitely preferable, wasn't aware of it.

Obviously preferable, it was just to illustrate the "one obvious way of doing something".

I have never seen a codebase that uses eval, it's considered more toxic than goto. Of course there are more ways, but I would definitely qualify this as "unreasonably convoluted".

I'd say the most idiomatic way is to use a simple for-loop: def factorial(n): result = 1 for i in range(2, n + 1): result *= i return result The recursive version would be fine as well, but I would say it&#x

The wiki article says that the term originated in Are.na. Didn't know about it, looks like a great smolweb concept! https://www.are.na/

Indeed! It would be so much better if this were a Postgres extension instead. There are some efforts but still quite immature: https://github.com/sraoss/pg_ivm But at least Materialize does have Postgres wire compatibi

Take a look at Materialize, Noria and the family of Differential/Timely Dataflow technologies. It's the same concept on steroids, you can subscribe to arbitrary queries and efficiently receive any changes to that view. You can als

Can you be more specific? I can’t find this in the announcement. How does this work? What example did you try? EDIT: web search does seem extremely fast.

That's what I like about the Cybertruck, it's bold and outrageous in a new way that doesn't yet have the "asshole / mid-life crisis" connotation of "Hot-Wheels-like" sports cars (although it might be

They are just recording the raw imaging data to enable that type of analysis, which is hard enough. I imagine it must be quite complex to interpret the biological structure as a logical network, tissues are messy and there are many types of

"Hundreds of dollars" sounds a bit painful as an EU engineer and entrepreneur :), but I guess it's all relative. We would think twice about investing this much manpower and compute for such an exploratory project even in a co

Indeed I've long been intreagued by the idea of rendering such clustering maps more like geographic maps for better readability. It would be cool to have analogous continents, countries, sub-regions, roads, different-sized settlements,

This is a surprisingly big endeavour for what looks like an exploratory hobby project. Not to minimize the achievement, very cool, I'm just surprised by how much was invested into it. They used 150 GPUs and developed two custom systems

Indeed, modern public corporations are already functionally equivalent to AGIs in many ways, with a legal obligation to maximize profit by any means. Not sure why this is not a more common point in AI doomsaying discussions.

That "recipe" is completely unhelpful in explaining the method. It boils down to the author saying "it's a bunch of mumbo-jumbo I don't understand, therefore it's wrong". But I largely agree that it's

I agree, "T-shirt sizes" sounds absurd and provocative, but XS, S, M, L, XL... is a very sane and simple scale for rough estimates of anything.

I choose to interpret it as: How do you know that *the author* was not named after ray-tracing? Which is amusing :)

They don't sound like professionals, especially the singers. Fair enough, this is quite a niche research project, they are probably all academics that do this as a hobby. Although I really enjoyed this part: https://youtu.be

Gaming mostly, and inertia. But I feel like the choice of OS is a much smaller factor than it used to be. I have a Windows desktop and a MacOS laptop now, but I've used a Linux (Debian Gnome) laptop for many years and I used to have du

I agree, I was only refuting the "more than SLS has managed". The statement surprised me and I had to look it up to check if I was missing something. Indeed SLS is very inefficient, Starship certainly has more potential and its ac

I was under the impression that Artemis I was already a full unmanned mission to moon orbit two years ago, using SLS + Orion. SLS did get to earth orbit with the Orion payload. While the latest Starship (IFT-3) barely reached "orbital
