It's whatever Rogan, Musk, Peterson, and other sheltered conservatives don't like.

That's undeniable, but it would be interesting to see something beyond "you can generate a picture" or "you can ask our model questions, though it may make things up".

Does xAI do anything interesting or are they just trying to catch up?

Tuckster is an "anti-elite" heir to a fortune who grew up in a castle. The only job he ever had was outrage baiting naive people. People like him are against regulation, but will clap any time big tech is dragged in front of congr

Has anybody made an attempt at making a library like this, but with cross platform user input, and support for accessibility? From personal experience, if you can output triangles and text, writing a UI library like this is maybe 2-3 days o

I'm not a professional web developer, but I do write web apps and WASM stuff. With JS being decent since ES6, do you really need all this crap? And if you do, are you going to use someone's side project that they refer to as &quot

He offered to buy an unprofitable company for 10 times what Disney paid for Lucasfilm because "funny number", tried to back out of the deal any way he could, and in the end was forced by a court. What are you talking about?

I think they given the known manufacturing issues, and poor customer support at the time, whoever bought a Tesla wouldn't sue even if instead of having a car delivered, Musk would take a dump on their driveway.

It sucks that this is what immediate mode got reduced to. If you listen to what Casey was advocating for, it was to avoid the need to synchronise state between local state and black box state. This can be applied to UI, but just as well to

All modern graphics APIs are retained mode, because you push data to the GPU and the GPU maintains its own state. The closest you can get to immediate mode is OpenGL 1.0 with glBegin, etc.

The timeline of Musk buying Twitter was a trainwreck, so I don't think there were any factors, just an attempt at salvaging an awful deal.

X is a megaphone for Musk and a tool to get political favours. X was already used to silence the opposition in Turkey and India during elections. A Saudi prince having a minority stake is a drop in a bucket of free speech violations.

Does anybody have experience with component systems like the one used in the engine in large projects? I feel like they all work well with components like Position and Velocity, but for anything less genetic, when you need to control what u

Was looking for this exactly. I understand that you have to make money somehow if you want to dedicate yourself to YouTube, but I always found sponsor segments to be worse than native advertising, and just plain gross to watch.

It's a widely criticised hypothesis, because it doesn't fit the geological record. It's mostly propped up by interpretations like these.

Can't wait to hear what archaeologists have to day about this interpretation. This is a fun topic to speculate about. Meanwhile, in case anybody's interested, the Younger Dryas hypothesis is controversial, not widely accepted by t

Not at all. It has nothing to do with tilling. We're just talking about mechanical weed control using a rotary hoe or a tine weeder. The job of a tine weeder is to pull out the weeds just as they sprout. The downsides of tilling happen

I'd expect either a camera setup to find and kill weeds, or at least a basic weeder that sweeps the soil and avoids the vegetables the bot planted, same as you'd do on an organic farm. Instead what you get is an attachment you hav

I'm both as well. Imagine all that maintenance of keeping a hobby electronics project outside, all just to remove maybe 5% of the effort of growing vegetables. You can't even grow anything tall with it. If they have a solid planni

This is a Juicero of farming. The whole setup is easily replaced with a raised garden bed and a drip hose. Hearing about this a few years back, I was hoping it would at least do some weed control, but no.
