I wrote a gradient-descent (not neural networks) based IK solver in the browser. It also has collision detection, customization of the arm, and a keyframe editor/timeline so you can program and play back a set of moves. https:/&#

Something that seems to be implicit in modern day criticisms of Amazon is the idea that it succeeded because of its leadership principles. I'm not saying that's not true, but we shouldn't take it at face value that Amazon&#x2

I implemented a toy market ledger in Rust. I initially thought to use a B-Tree because that's the conventional wisdom right? It was sooooo slow. Running valgrind showed that 99.5% of the time was spent doing memory allocation and trave

Hopefully the death of Google will provide sustenance for a new wave of companies the way a whale fall provides for the scavengers of the deep.

Samsung is the only job interview I have walked out of. I was told "you'll basically have zero wlb for the first 2-3 years while we are getting this fab off the ground". I immediately said I was withdrawing my candidacy. I ca

I agree with this sentiment overall, but we have to remember that for valuations, profit and growth is really all that matters. Even if an industry is irreplacable. I think I read this from Warren Buffett, but basically as of the early 2000

Oh man, I wish this was a bit more mature. I am writing a distributed image processing app right now with Celery, Flask, and SQLAlchemy, but I am finding it difficult to KISS. I was tempted to use Django but couldn't justify the overhe
