I have definitely gotten significant speed ups using Jax. I try to vectorize my code as much as possible but that’s not always feasible for every aspect of an algorithm. Even for the vectorized operations, the JIT compilation gets me a spee

In the context of the article, the author is talking about Indie games. Normally those feature simple but well-crafted graphics and mechanics. Many of the genres biggest hits have been made by individuals or very small teams. Some examples

This is a fairly common scenario for defense attorneys. I needed a lawyer for a misdemeanor charge (cop was having a bad day, the other cops that arrived on the scene seemed like they would have let me off with a warning but it was not thei

This is what my parents did. They always said they’d be happy if I decided to become a poet if I wanted as long as I committed myself to it and didn’t just use it as an excuse to lay about all day. I always thought it worked out well. Baseb

Eh then you’re just running a PC business? I don’t know the statistics but I feel like that misses a huge market segment. Lots and lots of people just have laptops for school / work that won’t run AAA games. Moreover, lots of people wa

It depends on your time series, really. If the samples are evenly spaced, e.g., your sensor gives you a reading every millisecond, your measured sequences aren’t partially overlapping, and you don’t have structured discrete events, then tim

On a related note, tours of the Steinway factory in Queens are super cool. My music class in high school went on a trip there, I thought it would be kinda boring but an excuse to miss class, yet it ended up being one of my favorite field tr

It’s been a pretty open secret that Gibson has been a hot mess internally for quite a while. At one point the CEO said he saw them more as a lifestyle brand than a guitar brand, like how Harley Davidson tries to position itself in motorcycl

I’m not a doctor, but it's not uncommon for people with attention disorders to feel more tired when taking a stimulant. When it hits, your brain is finally not racing around and feels at peace. Just food for thought.

The answer really is chaos. Chaos has different definitions used by different authors, but a characteristic they all capture is sensitivity to initial conditions. This requires inherently unstable dynamics (convergence to a fixed point or l

He maybe has the best masters thesis of all time. I truly believe he’s the best engineer of all time, and, even if you dispute that, he’s on the Mount Rushmore. Turing was allegedly working on his version of information theory or at least t

You’re asking questions about what I assume is the curse of dimensionality as applied to some machine learning problem. The curse of dimensionality is more general: it really boils down to the fact that adding dimensions causes volumes to g

A related book (really a collection of essays / articles he previously wrote) I enjoy reading periodically is Infinite Baseball by Noë. Noë is an analytic philosopher whose work deals largely with the nature of perception. He’s also a

I’m going to miss two things and both are replaceable with a bit of legwork: animal gifs and niche hobby sub wikis. I find the former calming when I’m stressed out and Reddit was a convenient place to find them. Reddit certainly does not ow

Only in that they resize the window to be kind of but not really full screen. That’s what all of the less technical Mac users I know do. I’ve never seen them go full screen with the green button

That’s what I’ve thought, but why would I not want my browser, editor, or any other work app full screened? If hit the green button to make it a work space, it handicaps functions like swipe up

Yup, me and everyone I know just has a pile of windows, maybe scattered across a few workspaces. I like macOS but have never really vibed with the window management. The only way it makes sense to me is if they don’t actually want you to fu

I might be optimistic but I can’t see Huffman surviving this. If you’re on the board, do you want this clown as your CEO? Sure, maybe they back the API changes killing the apps, but he’s come across as a fall guy at best and grossly incompe

I studied Italian in high school and during quarantine decided to try and learn Latin. I was really surprised how many common words were not cognates. Normally if I dug into it, there was a related Italian word, but with a different connota

For live streaming, I meant live video streams. They were pushing it hard for a while. It was a lot of musicians taking requests and a therapy frog (?!). It was fun for a minute but the novelty wore off quickly and I doubt it was worth what

Yeah Spez and a marketing director probably hired a bot farm or a mill in a developing country. If you use your employees, it’ll leak.

They’re not thinking. They never really have. They add features nobody wants all the time instead of making changes the community asks about for years. Who wanted live streaming or instant messaging on Reddit? Spez has edited users’ comment

To be fair, fields have conventions that help quite a bit. Matrices are almost always (I have seen exceptions) capital letters. I used to be an advocate for some kind of universal notation, but honestly it is not practical. A useful notatio
