His short story "Understand" is just... amazing. It wasn't until I discovered I was on the spectrum that I realized why it clicked so much. >.< I'm masking all the time, running conversational simulations to anticipate…
Thanks! It was definitely a highlight working on such bleeding-edge technologies with crazy smart people. Pouring over custom PowerPC CPU Errata was divine. Oh, and we only had (if I recall) 1ms per frame on one core to…
Great video! Love the concepts discussed, and the tigerstyle mentioned by adityaathealye. This is such a hard problem. For Halo 4, I architected a system for our telemetry that that had to support subsecond roundtrip…
I was hesitant about this article being interesting, or a good use of my limited time, but it turns out it was well written and held an interesting insight! I find it fascinating that, even aware of the importance of…
I always loved this question when I played the 'Why' game with my kids: They ask why, and I'd ELI5. Then they'd ask why, and the process continued until I could excitedly say "We don't know for sure!! We think it might…
I hear ya! One of my hobbies is to be a somewhat known stage & exotic dancer / dance instructor in VR using 5-11pt tracking (depending on my mood and production quality). The number of "features" that get in the way,…
I just don't see how the genie is put back in the bottle. Optimizations and new techniques are coming in at a breakneck pace, allowing for models that can run on consumer hardware.
Seems to me like the pathogen is just adapting to have a new transport mechanism? Rather than it decomposing or making use of microplastics. Rather than attaching to seaweed, it can also stick to microplastics and…
I suppose the argument would be that the key search space is reduced. Statistically speaking, you know the weights of certain binary pairs if the image is not evenly distributed. But I'm guessing that it'd only drop the…
Heh... as someone with prosopagnosia, this wouldn't help too much. But I agree it'd help most people!!
The metric of "hauling 40 Tesla Model S vehicles up every sixty minutes." is a strange one. A '93 Honda Accord would be divisible to the minute (60/hr). Or even 52lbs/second... Though I suppose those don't sound as…
I found the book Rama Revealed by Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee to be an unbelievable and depressing outlook on the short sidedness of man's assault on limited resources. And then I was driving through Phoenix…
My first thought is that there may be something environmental... interfering with your voice. Something like someone watching a show in the evening, or turning on a fan when it's time for bed.
Not the OP, but for my prior relationship my ex wanted to be divested of that knowledge. I tried early on to keep them abreast of what was going on, but they were "not a numbers person," and whenever I tried to explain…
Fun story: That was my first employee town hall, in 2000. I was concerned for the fellow (and so very glad when he left, Satya has been so so so much better for the company and morale). It was definitely an...…
Reminds me a lot about the fascinating read of Knight Capital, and the $440M-in-28-min bug that lost them 75% of their equity. Reminds me a lot about Knight Capital bug that cost them $440M in 28 min. > Rogue orders…
Specifically, the FancyZones utility. I was just showing this to a guest I was hosting and blowing their minds. You can setup multiple patterns per monitor depending on a given workflow, snap windows with shortcuts or…
Absolutely! I see a lot of people complain about twitter, but if you actively curate who you want to see and turn off recommendation posts it can be a very pleasant experience. There's loads of positive communities…
Tried this with "Long Tail." I'm excited for this tech... THIS is innovation. https://search.brave.com/goggles?q=long+tail&source=web&gogg...
My money is indeed on the environment. You'd want to know what that donor was eating, and try to replicate it.
No lie, I've done exactly this before. Something was coming up that'd wipe out my intestinal flora, and I'd been feeling extremely healthy lately. So I preserved a chilled sample of the 'good stuff.' Usually I'd have…
It's fascinating to me how many comments seem to be defending the workplace culture at SpaceX, and outright dismissing the letter in a hostile manner.
Love the anecdote, wish it applied to me!! I constantly drift upwards, even when eating crazy healthy. My "caloric rheostat" is just dialed in a bit high, so I have to accept I need to eat less than I think is…
I mean, the James Webb makes use of such to drop to, what, 20 Kelvin? https://ttu-ir.tdl.org/bitstream/handle/2346/67554/ICES_2016...
The thing with using cloud services is that sometimes the hosting provider can make changes to configurations that have impacts (such as monitoring software that steals precious CPU at seemingly random moments, or…
