https://youtu.be/IehwV2K60r8?is=WWZU3R1PMAQksHhj How they fit the Sonic 3D intro onto a sega mega drive _cartridge_!
How difficult it is to get a perfect beam in practice? Can one manufacture a flat rotman lense like that to introduce sinc phase shifts - this should yield a well behaved very directed beam? What are the practical…
If AI can find new proofs for well posed math problems, i see no reason why it shouldn't be able to implement a more performant fully featured version of an existing interpreter (eg with JIT and AOT) that emulates…
I have not looked into this specific issue, but are we sure that a regression here could have been avoided via a localized test? Maybe issues seem to arise from A implementing a feature with tests. B seeing that A lacks…
I agree re Rust vs C - this is not (only) a language issue. What would (roughly) the invariant be here? In another thread comment below i argue that maybe the system (OS) itself is so complex that it lacks clear…
On the other hand, it is (both halting and spec adherence) are checkable under compute and space constraints though? :) I'd say the biggest hurdle are means to describe the spec in way that is easy enough for a human to…
+1 that there are few things more exhausting than listening to someone's "proof of work" i'd rephrase as "visible lack of effort is problematic" - anything above that passes the bar for me, and other factors become…
I am far from a security expert, but from the number of "we missed a single line C check across files during refactoring" critical security bugs discovered on a regular basis these days, the whole premise of a "giant…
Could you elaborate on what exactly does such syntax provide over kwargs? To me it looks like verbatim x=a, y=b replaced by x(a)+y(b) in the argument section.
Yes, that was my thought as well when i was visiting UK and reddit kept asking me to verify my age. It might be even more private and non-trackable than that - if "age.id.gov" central authority effectively "provides a…
How `plot(.. + ggsize(700, 300) + ..)` is superior to a keyword parameter `plot(.. , size = (700, 300), ..)`?
One argument I heard from a college that the experimental llm written code (not production ofc) should be "write only" - you specify the requirements and constraints and let the machine figure it out - you specifically…
I asked the same question a few years ago, and the answer I arrived at is that the app has, by default, more permissions (not only technical but also conventional) to collect data, send push notifications, and otherwise…
To my surprise, even sophisticated means of traffic masking like amnezia and vxray get disrupted frequently, requiring hopping around self hosted solutions and updating ones setup periodically. That's waaay beyond what…
Eastern European pan-fried cottage cheese fritters (mix and fry 150g cottage cheese, 5 tbsp flour, 1 egg, 3 tbsp sugar, salt) are great. That's all I have to say.
I still consider jax.vmap to be a little miracle: fn2 = vmap(fn, (1,2)), if i remember correctly, traverces the computation graph of fn and correctly broacasts all operations in a way that ensures that fn2 acts like fn…
A long while ago i heard something (that might have been a urban myth) about Bose putting useless weight into their headphones to make them appear more "substantially professional". Is that a myth or they have pivoted…
I'd be curious to know the breakdown of "wages and benefits" between academics, teachers and administrative staff. I've heard that admin takes up a huge fraction of the cost. How large can it be?
This is really cool, these patterns (run once now and then once triggered) surface all the time and usually turn into ugly code! How many interations did it take? So most lines like A { B{ on D{ print() } } C{} }…
It is very interesting though! I have been interested in this kind of language design for interactive UI for a while. If there was a quick article outlining how all the "with" and "on" and "own" work to more experienced…
Did HoMM series ever get popular outside Eastern Europe? I am yet to meet a person born and raised in the US who have heard about it, but maybe i am just unlucky or targeting a wrong demographic.
I think it is difficult to oversell the bob nystrom game patterns book https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/contents.html
While better, a person modifying PizzaDetails might or might not expect this change to affect the downstream pizza deduplication logic (wherever it got sprinkled throughout the code). They might not even know that it…
I have not looked into the HM algorithm much, but is there (an educational or performance wise) advantage over implementing a (dumb) SAT solver and expressing a problem as a SAT problem? It always seemed like the…
I would not say that this is due to a social media bubble - HN is the only social media i use, i have friends along the political spectrum, and still i can relate to many of the points that the author raised. At one…
