Fun fact: After the Greeks beat the Persians, they created a union of state-cities, called the Delian league [1] to protect against future attacks. It was named so because the gatherings were happing at Delos, a Greek island. Many state-cit

It is not an exact replica, it is made from concrete, and given the time it took to recreate and the fact that it was partly funded by donations, I would say it was made from a vantage point of love and admiration for the original. Oscar Wi

Vespa is serving the home page, the web search stack is not open-sourced.

How could they buy DDG ? It serves organic results from Bing.

If Apple wanted a search engine, they would have bought Yahoo for ~$4B when it was up for sale 4 years ago.

This says it is serving google results: https://www.runnaroo.com/about Is that accurate ?

So, which is the better Search engine that Google is allegedly suppressing with its "monopolistic" practices ?

I have fond memories of working in Turbo Pascal. Compiling and running a program felt instantaneous.

Wondering what you have in mind ? Deep linking to other papers for example ?

You can connect the quest 2 to a PC though. No functionality seems to be lost.

I don't think you can have a FB account that is not linked to a real name.

Neither does this headset. Oculus Go has at least a 6D IMU, that gives it 3DOF (no position tracking), while this headset has a 6D IMU. The Quest and Rift have cameras on them for positional tracking. If it was possible to have reliable pos

This might be a fun weekend project to work on, but cannot be built for $200. The displays alone (and their driver PCB that accepts DisplayPort) cost $195. They are also not 2K but rather 1440x1440 (or 2.0736M pixels). Maybe the displays we

No professional musician is going to use anything else other than wired headphones. You deprecate an old technology when something better has replaced it, not when you want to create a new market for a product to increase your revenue. The

Agreed. It would be like removing the floppy disk in the 80s or the CDROM drive in the 90s and claiming it was a good move 30 years later.

indeed, that's how you'd embed a balanced binary search tree in an array.

It is nice to see benchmarks of elementary algorithms, but none of these is new. Benchmarking would be more convincing if more distributions were used. For example, we know that interpolated search is O(lglgn) for uniform distributions that

Point me to the ARM Line 6 Helix Native then. Of course it is possible to compile for ARM, but mainstreaming the architecture at the level of Apple implies that all the big players will be building for ARM.

I'm very curious to see this transition to ARM play out. There is a lot of software that will now be compiled for ARM that can potentially be used in open-source projects on much more cost-effective boards. Music (VST) plugins come to

In the years before the acquisition by Verizon, while Marissa Mayer was still CEO, Yahoo had rebooted its own search engine, an effort that was abandoned shortly before the sale. At that time, Apple could have very well acquired a formidabl

The article suggests that Apple should buy DuckDuckGo, a much smaller player than the top-3 (Google, Bing, Yahoo) for fear of being "uncomfortably dependent on Bing". First, if Apple wanted a search engine, they could have acquire
