I have a small heater sitting under the desk. Its power line connects to a WiFi smart plug. I can turn the heater on and off on my phone, without me going under the desk to turn it on or off.

For energy efficient game loop, it still runs in a fixed frequency, e.g. in 60fps or 30fps. For each frame, the time is spent on event processing, state update, rendering, and sleep. Some of the steps can be skipped. The goal is to lower

I heard that the creator of the K language Arthur Whitney would delete all old versions of the compiler source code and binaries before working on the next version. That's a unusual step to start afresh. It illustrates that giving en

If the buildings are priced at cap rate, that means they can be sold at market. The banks can just unload them.

Banks usually lend out commercial loans at 50%~60% LTV. They get some cushion.

You can argue compilers have been doing that. And JIT was the next step to enable runtime rewriting of software. AI directed JIT or compilers probably will be next.

It's not just luck but good strategy. In the past 10 to 15 years, Nvidia has been leveraging its core GPU to go beyond gaming video card to expand into different peripheral areas where massive parallel computing is needed, such as sup

Quick question. How do you set up the key bindings for the command prompt window on Windows? The control-r, alt-c, etc.

You’ll just be the depositor four times, once per account. It’s per account at the end.

Save the whales! Wonder how many of the companies are in his portfolio. The government is going to save the depositors. FDIC will liquidate SVB’s assets and pay the depositors back. They might take a haircut in the process.

That's a pretty neat trick, letting the GPU to exclude the out of bound regions of the enlarged triangle and only render the visible rectangle.

Does Synology NAS have a mobile app that can view the recordings? Also what are some good 4k Wi-Fi cameras that work with Synology?

We don't need rich people to all piling in to donate to the top schools. Have them donated to the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th tier schools. Encouraging donation to top schools via legacy admission creates a perverse incentive to concentrate reso

Legacy admission should have been abolished long time ago. It’s systematic racism. Legacy admission has been part of the official admission system for the longest time. It's a system to favor the incumbents, the riches, the powerful, a

A legacy with a B grade candidate will get in. It’s a boost, not a tie breaker.

Legacy boosts admission rating. That’s all needed to be said. It's systematic racism because legacy admission has been part of the official admission system for the longest time. It's a system to favor the incumbents, the riches,

If they are so qualified, why not let them compete on the even ground with the rest of the applicants? Why is there a need to special track them via legacy? Legacy should have been abolished long time ago. It’s the epitome of systematic ra

Yeah, those are crazy numbers. They're assuming the average consumer will drive a $40K car with no downpayment taking on 7~8% loan, with no capture of value when selling the car. If that's the case, it just speaks volume of the i

Ah I see. That sounds lots of boilerplate. Wonder whether WebGL uses less space.

Isn’t there a language for configuring ffmpeg to make it do different things?

Initial impression, looks great. The browser's back button doesn't seem to go back to the home page after going into a game. The game's thumbnail images don't pop up to full size when clicked.

Would be good to see the process and sound. Do you think it’s the WebGPU, scene graph, the sound, or the Rust infrastructure that consumes the most space?

That's excellent. I didn't realized Rust to Wasm can be squeezed to such small size. Great work.

Here's a business idea. Create a robotic dog as a dog companion. Large language models that can fool adult human can certainly converse with dogs. Couple it with Boston Dynamic's dog robot and you have workable version.

Actually the multicast audio is a pretty good system. There're multiple elevators. Broadcasting makes it simple to sync up the music on them. Using a Wifi speaker has much lower cost than adding a wired speaker to a moving elevator.

Not sure how C++ compiler or SBCL compiler utilizes auto-vectorization. The Rust compiler is able to auto-vectorize tight loops to use SIMD without much prompting. E.g. the following uses SIMD automatically. byte_array1.iter().positi

In general ideas are not copyrightable. Expression of ideas are copyrightable. Anyone can sue you for whatever reason. The court can throw the case out but it’s a nuisance to you.

Queues are great as a buffer to even out compute utilization. With an empty queue, most workers can be shut down after a while, saving on compute cost. When the queue grows and stays non-empty, more workers can be started up. The length of

One thesis is that it takes exponentially more resources to maintain a linear growth in tech over time. When there’s not enough resource to push progress, growth slows down. Look at the particle accelerators. It costed a tremendous amount o
