There are NES emulators aplenty, the only value in writing a new one is pedagogic, for the writer. This endeavor had negative net value.

There is a difference between having an opinion and spending money to promote it. Also, beside the direct murders as @ceejayoz mentioned, the social exclusion of LGBT folks drives far too many of them to many of them to suicide. The legaliz

Another factor that may play a role: the people who chose not to take the vaccine may be prone to taking bad decisions more broadly, leading to a higher mortality rate.

The vaccinnated group was 1 year older on average, and had mode cardiovascular risk factors. Covid has long term health consequences, and these are proportional to the severity of the acute infection. People who died of a stroke of a heart

@dang this may be a good candidate for the second chance pool The author has a strong quantum physics background, and makes testable predictions [1]. This isn't circular fluff as argued in this thread, but a mathematically fledged theo

This is TFUS [1] with a novel target. It looks like independent hackers with a strong technical background and little regard for decorum. Their methodology seems reasonable, and their results are plausible. I’m reserved about the final part

This is probably negligible, but the hammer is not perfectly rigid. The tension in the stem at the time the hammer escapes and subsequent oscillations could also play a role.

And the best way to build trust in the new tool is naturally to sabotage the old one. rv builds on André's reputation. The best way to squander it would be to attack the rubygem infrastructure.

You could also use a random salt (for i64, add it up with wrap around overflow) with minimal overhead.

The old, bug-ridden native XSLT code could also be shipped as WASM along with the browser rather than being deprecated. The sandbox would nullify the exploits, and avoid breaking old sites. They actually thought about it, and decided not to

Patches are changed once per day, and their pharmacokinetics isn't addictive (the nicotine blood levels rise too slowly to give you a dopamine boost). I sometimes realize in the afternoon that I forgot to change my patch in the morning

I don't know if the evidence is more than anecdotal, but I've read that ADHD smokers who are taking adderal have to increase the dose of their treatment to remain functional when they quit smoking. I've been taking nicotine p

I tried vibe coding WebGPU/WGSl, which is thoroughly documented, but has little actual code around, and LLMs are pretty bad at it right now. They don't need a formal model, they need examples from which they can pilfer.

I've had a similar problem with WebGPU and WGSL. LLMs create buffers with the wrong flags (and other API usage errors), doesn't clean up resources, mix up GLSL and WGSL, write semi-less WGSL (in template strings) if you ask them t

I hadn't run these in a while, but in the current Chrome version, you can clearly see the multi-modality of the results with the dummy Math.random() benchmark.

I have been sleeping on this for quite a while (long covid is a bitch), but I have built a benchmarking lib that sidesteps quite a few of these problems, by - running the benchmark in thin slices, interspersed and suffled, rather than in on

Anatomy derives from Latin. Physiology, pathophysiology and operational terms derive from Greek.

Extracting these resources means destroying the ecosystems that live on top of them. So, yes, they are better left to their own devices.

It is my understanding that Apple losing here would prevent them from enforcing WebKit as the sole iOS browser engine. I may be mistaken.

This is where Apple'grip on the iOS browser engine choice paradoxically comes in clutch. It is conceptually despicable, especially for devs, but it prevents Google from completely running the show. Now the European Union is coming afte
