The user experience accessing YouTube through a web browser on a TV (the main target audience for SmartTube) is less than ideal. TV and set-top box browsers tend to be slow and fiddly to use from a TV remote. (And often…
I've seen ChatGPT get stuck in this loop all by itself, generating a long multi-page answer where it constantly catches itself, refutes itself, offers a new answer with the same problem, rinse and repeat... All in the…
Because competent lawyers tend to adhere to professional standards and codes of ethics, which makes them more selective in the work and clients they take on.
One possibility is to replace part of the battery. The smaller battery can be designed to lie about its charge, or you can replace with a higher energy-density battery and use the space saved for a detonation system…
It's also at least as expensive as more advanced machines you can buy already-assembled. If this was half the price, I might be interested. But if I wanted a coffee maker with open source control, I'd probably just hack…
72057594037927936 addresses ought to be enough for anybody... ;)
The models do a pretty good job at rendering plausible global illumination, radiosity, reflections, caustics, etc. in a whole bunch of scenarios. It's not necessarily physically accurate (usually not in fact), but…
No, it doesn't. The phone doesn't need to broadcast anything to control the drone directly. The phone talks to the remote control unit, which is what broadcasts signals to control the drone. You don't need wifi or…
Also worth noting that, unlike physical objects, images are not bound by the speed of light. Patterns of light and shadow can move across a sensor at unrestricted speeds.
Possible evidence for this sort of thing in Peru too: "doorways" carved into rock faces etc. at local spiritual sites ("huacas") although little solid evidence of what they were actually used for, or exactly how old…
In general no, but the provided example depends on parallel memory accesses at the cache level, so cache effects can indeed come into play with instruction-level parallelism. Did you just miss this detail in the…
My hypothesis: it's a kind of performance art... All AI responses, with your score given randomly with a win probability of two-thirds.
Article should be called "Totally Expected Downsides..." If you want temporal locality, use ULIDs instead.
That's true for very large spaces/distances (except at night) where atmospheric scattering comes into play, but consider looking at a flat surface with stacks of objects on it. Lower elements are typically more occluded…
The last time I coded something along these lines was way back in the day for pulsing the Amiga's power/disk drive LEDs in time to music and sound effects, instead of their usual on/off/half brightness states. Not quite…
Anecdotally, I've had better luck reading Amiga and ST floppies from the 80s and 90s than floppies from the 2000s. I'm guessing disk quality took a nosedive somewhere around 2000..?
You might be thinking of SheepShaver, a Mac emulator for BeOS and Linux. Its name is a play on the name ShapeShifter, an earlier emulator by the same develope, which was an Apple II emulator for the Amiga.
Ironically, Unreal Engine was in large part born from Tim Sweeney's "screwing around with tooling and languages". UnrealScript has long been dropped in favour of C++, but I'm pretty sure Unreal Engine wouldn't exist…
It wouldn't get to trial. Cease and desist letter with the threat of legal action would likely do the trick, as charmbracelet likely have insufficient funds to defend themselves, and it simply wouldn't be worth the…
Almost certainly trademark infringement though.
tbf, it's pretty clear who he's calling an idiot, and it's not OP.
Yeah, Paris isn't good for comparisons with the rest of France. My French colleague insists that Paris should not be considered part of France! :)
Can you clarify what you mean by a "round" here, please? Do you mean a complete round-robin pass of clients (or whatever segmentation method is used) in the fair queue?
The ideas in this article are strongly reminiscent of those in Jeff Hawkins' "On Intelligence" (2004). The idea of the brain operating (at least in part) as a "prediction machine" is certainly not a new one. I'm…
Mr first thought reading the article was security. After a quick ctrl-f, it was a little disconcerting to find that the only mention of security is in a tacked-on bullet list under the heading "risks"...
