I think it's more than an implementation detail. With an intermediate step of source code compiling & linking, there is a mechanical process that checks for well-formedness that would otherwise be skipped. This is…
You specifically said "digital" in GGP comment. I took that to mean that you were choosing the abstraction above which those details matter. Yes, at the physical level all circuitry is effectively continuous and…
The same assumptions are true about giving any human that shareable link. They could pass it on to anyone, screenshot it, paste it into their own session. This has been true since before "share with link" permissions on…
Not quite.. that boolean is about whether the voltage exceeds some threshold. It's not about how close the voltage is to the circuit's maximum possible threshold. In an analog circuit, maybe.
An AI assistant can give different answers for the same inputs. An application written by an AI assistant, if it doesn't just call an LLM at runtime, will mostly likely produce the same answer for the same inputs. That…
They are different -- higher level languages like C++ and Python surface the abstractions, making them more apparent to the human reading the code. LLMs, when used in a way to "write code using English" hides the…
Prioritizing something other than 7% week over week growth. This doesn't appeal as much to venture capitalists so we may have to try it with some bootstrapped products first.
Having seen the abuse vectors that get thrown at this and similar products, I suspect it is less about whether they care and more about finding a suitable threshold for some arbitrary features, or moments of demand…
Kind of, but not really.. though there are simple models with electrons as a point charge, a more accurate model involves the electron field describing the probability of an electron existing at any region in space (not…
I get that's what you're suggesting. The locking per-axis or across all axes is fine but doesn't address the problem I'm talking about. In gimbal lock, which many graphics programmers first encounter by using only…
I think they're referring to the Enterprise sales where people have felt pressured to sign six- or seven- figure contracts after usage goes above a certain point. However, all the articles I've read on it are from…
It doesn't have to imply replacement. Do you stop thinking just because other humans can?
If you're suggesting that the different columns of a comptometer would relate to different rotational axes of the ball, you will likely run into gimbal lock in 3D. You could build an interface in 4D around quaternions…
Now remove the spacebar, combine the two buttons into a single one for "tone" and adapt it to morse code. All the buttons still do only one thing and now there's only one button! And, you don't have to worry about what…
Why remove the code and binary artifacts, though? Don't you want to verify that the business logic is accurate and the processing is deterministic? In some circumstances there is no substitute for something that you…

Actually the reason people experience vection in VR is not focal depth but the dissonance between what their eyes are telling them and what their inner ear and tactile senses are telling them. It's possible they get…
Would a high enough dose of UV also work? I suppose it would ruin most pigmentation too, though.
Pure functional programming and lazy evaluation.. sure, you could create classes and a meta-function that selectively eval's thunks at a time, but the call site of that kind of library would look atrocious.. You might…
Almost made it into 1.18 but looks like it doesn't add enough value and has some open questions like what to use for a backing data type and what complexity promises to make.…
It's not a yes/no per contestent, it's per edge between contestants. There are n(n-1)/2 of these. A true answer for a potential match is actually a state update for all of the (n-1) edges connecting either contestant,…
I think that LLMs will be complemented best with a declarative language, as inserting new conditions/effects in them can be done without modifying much (if any!) of the existing code. Especially if the declarative…
Broccoli Man! classic https://youtu.be/3t6L-FlfeaI (2010) To be fair, a lot of this changed after that video became a meme.. but I'd bet that the broccoli man template is still trending on memegen
Have we abandoned the term "generate" already?
