If anyone from these startups is here on HN, I would love to hear your thoughts on the following: 1. How are you dealing with TTFX when deploying your code? If using PackageCompiler/StaticCompiler, is binary size an issue? 2. Are you u

It's interesting how similar this design is to a UAV propeller design that was created by MIT Lincoln Laboratory [1]. Not claiming that anything nefarious happened--it's just interesting how people often unknowingly converge on th

Very interesting--Codon can generate standalone executables, object files, and LLVM IR [1]. It has strong typing for functions and argument return values [2]. Syntax looks more compact than Cython. Looking forward to giving Codon a try! [1]

Great writeup. Minor comment about the portion of the post mentioning Conda being glacially slow: Mamba [1] is a much better drop-in replacement written in C++. Not only is it significantly faster, but error messages are much more sane and

And so it begins. Welcome to the new internet. I'm bracing myself for when this wave of AI content hits academic journals.

To an extent yes, but this can quickly become overwhelming. For example, editors and reviewers for academic journals / conferences will likely see a deluge of AI-generated "scientific" papers. Their time is limited, and odds

More broadly, I think we'll see a proliferation of internet content generated by ChatGPT--blog posts, essays, product summaries, tutorials, news articles, etc. The danger is that the content generated by ChatGPT is very coherent, but t

Very nice! My only suggestion would be to include Jump Point Search (JPS) [1], which can be an order of magnitude faster than A* search in grid map settings. JPS has also been extended to 3D grids for quadrotor path planning [2]. [1]: http

While I acknowledge that there's still plenty to debate about C++ vs Rust, Rust has several extremely nice features that are more difficult to emulate in C++: * Rust has a package manager. * Rust has macros. * Rust makes it relatively

Those long, straight-line convoys of Starlink satellites are fascinating. There's a few of them I could see scattered around the Earth. At what point do they start breaking up into unrelated orbits? Looking forward to using this websit

One of my favorite examples of the reality of "imaginary" numbers is Euler's identity: e^{i \pi} + 1 = 0 Or even better, raising i to the ith power: i^i = e^{-\pi / 2} That looks pretty real to me.
