I don't see any mention of DIAMOND ( https://diamond-wm.github.io/ ) which does something pretty similar, training a model to predict a game or otherwise 3D world based on videos of gameplay plus corresponding user input

Once upon a time I worked for a company that made accounting software. While there I had to explain to the other devs: 1) That being able to escape characters in CSV files is kind of important. (Some customers noticed that a single quote in

Uh, "can you now make a noise" and "can you not make a noise" are very different instructions. Also noting that the plonky xylophone music and voiceover soldier on over where we'd presumably hear the theremin-style

I was thinking the Augmented Reality Sandbox ( https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/ResDev/SARndbox/ ) but yeah, that too!

The U.S. is (justifiably) proud of sending astronauts to the moon, despite it being far from ubiquitous.

We should invent some kind of term that makes it sound like everyone had all the info since the 70s and so everyone's equally to blame. I know, let's say "carbon footprint" and make it sound like every single human has b

I love this statue. There's a free STL version here: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-the-once-and-f... I printed one 40cm high in metallic copper filament and it looks amazing.

This is like those articles on 10-bit colour where they show you "how vibrant and rich" the higher bit depth is, but you're reading it on the same old 8-bit-per-channel monitor.

Agreed. When I was a kid (80s/90s), a 15-year-old car was barely worth keeping running and a 20-year-old car was a rusted-out piece of junk. Today a 15-year-old car can be quite nice and there are plenty of unremarkable 20-year-old car

Well said. I usually go through several phases when dealing with this kind of thing, I start with "flags for different conditions" type logic, then when things get too complex I refine this into "set of explicitly defined sta

Ironically, overly harsh consequences are often imposed because detection is lacking. If you can't reliably detect infringing behaviour to impose a fair consequence, you have to ramp up the severity of the consequence imposed when you

Surely more whiteboard questions are the key? Reversing a binary tree is so last year, they should make candidates reverse an octree.

Very interesting result! It does kind of baffle me, though, when people describe things as “uniquely human” when even a passing familiarity with basically any mammal (and often other ‘simpler’ creatures) reveals that they also do these thin

When you say 'gliding' you mean the... what? I'm confused. When you lock the front in the wet, 'nothing' is the best possible outcome and even then doesn't last long enough. I'm assuming your 250 had ABS a
