I’m a complete layperson on graphics and such, so please someone help me here: does this mean we’re now able to simulate old video game visuals on crt? That would be the best Christmas gift ever

It's kinda funny, the general dread regarding AI in tech circles is mostly due to fears that all jobs will be automated away, while the concerns expressed by the researchers according to the author are ironically a lot narrower in the

It's funny that copyright somehow got mixed with the concept of canonicity over time. That a company or a person has the right to oxymoronically define the reality of a fictional universe is a bit crazy when you think about it. The wor

I think you’re being too dismissive of a third kind of player that is neither “leader” or “manager”, which is “owners”. There’s a saying (which I’m sure has an English equivalent) where I live that goes something like “It’s the owner’s gaze

It doesn’t seem so, but by a slight majority on overall respondents it seems like changing the name was favored. From the post it seems that anglophones were significantly (as in statistically) more likely to change the name for exactly the

I does not make sense to rely on an employer to guarantee your retirement income. Ideally you want it to be managed by an organization that is heavily regulated and specializes in this activity, instead of being a cost center (and a financi

A couple of months ago I tried using z3 to create an itinerary for my honeymoon. It seemed like a very straightforward implementation of a TSP with a few extra restrictions. It's 2024 and I had an M2 - which is basically alien tech for

Just wanted to share a fun experience I had when visiting Pompeii last month: we were walking around the city (the archeological park, that is) and I wanted to see one of those roman public bathrooms. So I googled "pompeii latrine&quot

One of the first "hacker" breakthroughs in my first startup was due to following citations on a paper kind of related to my problem until I got to a paper from '61 implementing the exact algorithm I was needing at the time. N

I think I've said this before on this forum, but it bears repeating: if there's one thing that I'll never forget from my Industrial Engineering degree is that all processes can be designed around long waits, but it's the

Great work, thanks for sharing! In a somewhat tangent note, does anyone have a good resource for designing probabilistic data structures? At a high level, I'm looking for something that helps me understand what is and isn't feasib

I'm not nearly smart enough to state this confidently, but doesn't [1] imply that exotic embeddings can always be replaced by larger Euclidean embeddings? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_embedding_theor

Loved the idea! Admit I should use for a while because it's unclear if it's really ergonomic, but overall super interesting. Congratulations on the launch!

Not to be a skeptic or anything, but how do we know normal maps etc weren’t enriched into the datasets by the image gen companies? I understand this paper links to open source model where that can be verified, but maybe this is one secret s

For the life of me I don't know how people don't think twice about subscribing to Netflix and others while consider it unreasonable to subscribe to YouTube. It's easily 10x the value.

Slightly off topic: does anyone have good intros to hyperbolic geometry? I was imitating drawn by applications related to hyperbolic embeddings in NLP, but I’m having a hard time understanding why, in what ways and how it could be “better”
