I've been talking to a friend about this lately, in the context of "prepping". Curious if anyone here knows whether a laptop computer could potentially get fried from a solar storm if it were unplugged? I'm guessing it&#

I think GP is pointing out Knuth did not want this letter to become public knowledge, yet here we all are reading it.

Yes, but to be pedantic, absurdly so.

Apologies, I glossed over your mention of "microseconds", and was reading it as "milliseconds". In that case, you're right, I have no intention of splitting hairs amongst thousandths of milliseconds. However, that d

Correct. If I had access to a reasonably priced 1000Hz monitor, I would use it, for exactly this reason. It's not just this one thing in isolation, it's the whole tool chain, and latency is cumulative. So, for a simplified example

Higher input latency typically results in more mistakes while typing. The lower you can get it, the better.

I'd like to understand more about essential tremors - is there anyone here experienced in such matters and/or able to point me toward some good resources?

By analogy, amino acids are to proteins what a pile of bricks are to a house. Have we made any progress on figuring out what could have possibly caused the amino acids to become arranged into proteins? If you read between the lines, I know

I've read a lot of wild shit before but I've never come across a claim that Down Syndrome is caused by vaccines. Care to share the source of this information?

Is Musk still planning to do his art-project lunar flyby with Starship? Haven't heard anything about that for... is it years now?

No idea for your first question, but wouldn't the answer to the second be "NDA's and or other legal concerns"?

Do we know anything yet about the maximum resolution of the output, or how long it takes to generate these kind of examples?

The model looks different in each of those variations though. Which seems to be intentional, but the post you're responding to is asking whether it's possible to keep the model exactly the same in each render, varying only by pers

Yes, and I’m struggling to imagine why you think it is even implied that they could be the same person, from the first film alone. Could you explain further?

Not exactly the same, but I much prefer using cmd+space on my iPad’s physical keyboard than the equivalent touch action. This goes for pretty much all the shortcuts, keyboard wins every time due to tactile feedback and predictability.

The alternative explanation seems to be that they know it’s far from perfect, but lack the appetite to rethink from first principles. So they come up with some feature that will help some specific scenario, and just pile that onto the stack

In what way is it bloated? IIRC, the executable is less than 2MB, and without plugins it uses about that much memory too.
