I, too, love a good Tuvan throat death-metal band in the outer suburbs of Ulaanbaatar.

Wind. Wind, by itself, without storage, isn't great for our version of civilization. However, it'd totally be workable for 19th c, at least, if not early 20th c. If there were clever storage solutions, you could run our civilizati

Having implemented reflection in languages like C(++), before, it is most certainly not bloat-free. There are sorts of 'obvious' things programmers do (like enum-reflection) that end up injecting strings all over the place. The

As far as we can tell, GR implies, and we have measured, space-time is completely continuous. Draw a square on a piece of paper; or, better yet, outline a cube with some sticks: within that square (or cube) is an infinite set of points of e

I don’t know anything about operations management, securitization, etc. What’s the difference between these two? Also, I work for a very large HW company, and we’re locked down . From my point-of-view “operations” just works. What does thi

I lived a few miles away from the Texas City plant, growing up. A good, stiff, wind, and a penchant for rhinoviruses can solve a lot of chemical-plant-related issues.

Most of the HW engineers I work with consider the webstack to be far more efficient than the HW-synthesis stack; ie, there's more room for improvement in HW implementation than in SW optimization.

I think you've nailed a subtly — and a major doubt — I've been been trying to articulate about code helpers from LLMs from day one: the difficulty in programming is reducing a natural language problem to (essentially) a proof. I s

I think I remember that California is a tilling state? That'd be epic to have the Sheriff auctioning Meta assets from their own doorstep.

I’m with you. It appears to be a fairly bog-standard DFA, but divining that from 4x4 `int`s and a 256 `char` array feels like I’d just be doing all of the heavy lifting, intellectually. However… it does look like it’s trying to detect space

I'm still finding your comments a little confusing; and, now, bordering on the self-contradictory. I think you'll find that the proofs presented in the lower maths tend to be of "the book" form and really overstate the s

Waymo is in Austin. Rainey street gets clogged with them on the weekend. I've seen them navigate Mopac without any trouble, too.

See, that’s weird to me? Wouldn’t the best reward be more like 99 or 100%? The gov’t’s already out the money; the incentive is to prevent tax fraud.

I had a buddy in 2004 from the sister lab (doing strong AI), who was acquired by one of the big military contractors to implement "ATAK" (automatic target acquire kill). The task was mostly solved, as far as the US was concerned,

Jay Leno talks about installing solar on his house (which he did himself) and commenting that he was getting shocked a lot, bc as soon as the PVs are in the sun, they're making electricity. He said it made handling the units tricky.

In a cooler alternate reality, you'd simply request your money back, online. The business would be required to come to your place at a convenient time of your choosing to collect the remains of the device.

asprintf is a nice toy, but it should really take a context and a "realloc" function pointer to be useful, in general. Here's hoping for 2040!

ICE vehicles don't have tires? A good way to estimate the environmental cost of a mass consumer product is its price (capex & opex), with the caveat that the unaccounted cost for burning gasoline is probably around 6$/gallon,

My Y was advertised at ~280 miles (the iron battery), which is precisely what I'd get F-E. I generally drive only the middle 60%: about 160–170 miles. This aligns with the experience of the 20 or so people I quizzed at work, before pur

If you actually dig into the details of RISC-V — especially the variable width extensions, it scratches all of my CISC-y itches just fine. Is it as CISC-y as ARM or x86? Not yet; not yet.

Massed volley requires putting all of your archers in one (or a few) places. The effective maximum range of an archer is something like 500'. If you put your archers at the "wings", they can cover at most 1000' of line;

Yes, GR uses differential geometry; however, a good (mechanical) understanding of any exterior algebra helps when working with tensors; and, I found GA much easier to understand than algebraic & differential geometry, when starting ou
