> Any language can be expressed in S-expressions. I'm not sure this is true for the C preprocessor, though, where macros can represent partial structure.
This is a really interesting system, and I'm excited to give this a try! Without knowing whether the following cases would actually be useful/relevant, I'm curious if these things apply to Unison: - Is there a way to…
Putting fans on radiators should also increase the amount of heat that can be transferred, right?
One way to get deterministic output is to use integer/fixed point math. Quantised models already do that for matrix multiplication, but things like softmax may still be implemented using some floating point math. It's…
This. Being able to expand macros lets you learn what it does in context, and once you're more familiar with the abstraction it gives you the benefit of hiding the details and highlighting the moving parts within an…
> "More people with cards tend to be white and therefore the cards are racist" is such a weak take - there are more white people than minorities, for one. But this is quite different from what the article actually says.…
Certainly, getting those elements in larger quantities will be important, but by the time we have the cargo capacity to build colonies on the moon it seems likely that someone would be very happy to trade, say, 100t of…
You could call the way the curriculum is organised "spaced repetition", but this isn't personalised and thus missing the feedback part of spaced repetition. Generally, children aren't taught the method of spaced…
A "generic raw text editor" is a tool. The vast majority of text editors people use are actually quite complex, way beyond the complexity that would be needed to implement a "generic structured data editor". And the…
A text editor is a tool. Text files are only "human readable"/"human editable" in the sense that such tools are ubiquitous whereas structured data editors are not. Which is a real shame. Entering, manipulating and…
Note that AMX can achieve roughly double the FLOPS with FP16, and 8 TFLOPS for the GPU is only about 77% of peak. You can do better than that, especially using FP16 90+% is possible (which is >9.4 TFLOPS).
>No, it is not. It is the physically correct way to do it. 50% more red light is emitted than blue or green. That is a red tint. That is a red tint. And that's why it's not the correct way to do it. A subpixel…

It depends on what the converted energy is used for. If you use it to power a device in the house then it's quite likely most of that energy will end up as heat in the house again.
What exactly does it mean to "perceive a bicycle"? Noticing shapes and colours and recognising them as a distinct object? Recognising an obstacle? Noticing qualities like smoothness and straightness and associating the…
Standing firm is a useful negotiation tactic at times, yet no guarantee for success. If companies you want to work for collectively take the stance that you don't deserve the salary you're asking for, possibly…
I'm curious, what would be a good reason why treating floating point numbers as byte sequences should be any harder than what is required to make it obvious (provided their binary format is well defined)?
Certainly some people do say "Ich bin Christdemokrat", but that would usually be active party members, not just voters.
That seems solvable, for example by blocking programmatic control of playback until you allow it for a given video element. That way it only "breaks" when the user wants it to be "broken".
Would you be willing to elaborate why "energy per unit mass" matters when the mass in question is a completely different substance with different cost and availability profile? If we found a way to extract 10x as much…
If they cannot be symbolically encoded why would you ever _need_ to encode them?
The benefit would be it being optional. You only need it while learning the language, whereas once you're familiar with the notation the terseness becomes a feature. Of course once you've come up with clear names for…
> I don't know any folks who are neurodivergent who desire their traits. Might that be because many people who like their traits don't consider themselves neurodivergent, and don't get called that by others?
Depression is tough, and yes, a deeper understanding would really be great. There's something I'm curious about with your colleague: You already know he is disorganised in the specific ways you observe. So telling him…
Very interesting! I never knew that a fair number of city trees are dioecious. What happens to all the female saplings? I would imagine that we can actually do a lot to accelerate the process of trees spreading over an…
