That is correct but the fear (and conceit) is still that Chine would not be able to compete with the West in the high tech sector. In the classic example for Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage, England is better at producing woo

This really hit home for me when I learned that Clubhouse uses a Chinees company for its audio processing and distribution. The rise of China as such doesn't really scare me but the fact that with billions of dollars in investments the

Crypto just loves broken analogies, it started with the claim it solved byzantine general problem. First off it's "a" solution to that problem, and two, a decentralised system deciding on one question only is not a sufficient

That is also my reading of it, I've always liked this quote by (I think) James Burnham, The one measure the good must take form the bad.

Interviewer asked me if I wanted something to drink, and I was like: water is all good with me. He brings me a glass and I take a sip. The tast was absolutely foul, acidic with a taste I just couldn't place. In the most civilised way

At the other end of no/low code there is adoption of advanced computer graphics techniques that originated game programming and machine learning that focus around the GPU. * Better GPU API on web and native with WebGPU * Use of compute

God dang man you are right. This website has a real blind spot when it comes to documenting "bad" behaviour by others, like this other article[1] where they measure how the term "Whiteness" is used in the NYT 3 times mor

If you don't mind working with the Rust nightly release, there is a library that tries to provide a portable layer above all architecture specific SIMD APIs: https://github.com/rust-lang/portable-simd

Honestly I'm glad it failed, not in a misanthropic sense, but I think that the idea of xhtml was too ridged and therefore it failed. Other semantic projects have the same issue, not just RDF, but also Lojban, and even formal math. Th

That works great for UI but what about backend networking stuff or even for macro like environments like scss, where you write code that writes code, how will you change the input based on the output?

I was never a fan of facebook (the website), but i'm sort of glad they are doing this metaverse thing. Computer graphics remains one of the most exiting fields in computer science, even good old geometry is having a comeback, and we co

The same WebGPU API can be used as a cross platform layer to do graphics, no js needed. For example rust's wgpu can just be used without a browser.

Sort of the same thing happens in SE Asia traffic but then they drive scooters, it looks messy but if you are part of the swarm it feels very natural.

What if X is more reusable than Y but Y is the thing that is on the books. Now you have to lobby the government. Fun. Also, it's very hard for a bureaucrat or anyone else to make a judgement on what is going to be the most efficient wh

As in function composition, a great idea from math but one that is hard to use for anything that isn't a functions with domain and range in R or N.

I think this is a much more interesting angle to the metaverse than virtual reality and 3D glasses. Simulation can also help with personalised manufacturing and designing sustainable cyclical industry.

Sure, encoding an extra dimension in a vector is just an additional element, but for the exception of categorical data this view is very restrictive. If you want to do things like describe embedded-space and projective spaces you can'

Lisi has said that E8 is not gonna work in the way he initially proposed, he is still trying to apply the idea in other ways, for example cosmology.
