Yeah the posters have been pretty well known for, let's see, maybe a decade now? But it's cool to read more about the artist. And also, didn't realize he released a bunch of cool f…

Absolutely. They hooked up an LM and asked it to talk like it's thinking. But LMs like GPT are token predictors, and purely language models. They have no mental model, no intention…

> If your premise above is true, then we'd expect to see similar sorts of variations in the various fonts derived from drafting style If you look at the photos in the article, ther…

Of course I read the details on stencils and patterns in the text. But you misunderstand what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that there are many "concrete instantiations" of drafti…

That's an assumption, I read it just fine. :) I just disagree with how the author keeps talking about draftsman's lettering as if it were some company's font (e.g. Gorton and Leroy…

I did...?

I'm afraid the author has it backwards. This style of writing didn't start as a font from some company. This is just how you used to be taught to do lettering in a drafting class. …

I would just add that Mathematica-style term rewriting (e.g. analytical integration, or equation solving) is done with _semantics-preserving_ symbolic solvers, which are hand-made …

There are people working on that! Google for LLM + PDDL. There are big problems with hallucinations because LLMs are not smart enough to know when they're starting to make mistakes…

This is exactly right. Planning and reasoning have long standing meaning in AI, based on explicit knowledge representation and inference. It's a subspace of AI that predates LLMs b…

Interesting fact: Unity doesn't use a Microsoft GC, or the Microsoft implementation of CLR. They had integrated the competing Mono implementation early on, and it came with its own…

Yeah, agreed. CHI, yes, sometimes. But never ORD - or MDW or GYY. Although CGX would be hilarious. :)

Also, pros: world-class architecture, fun music scene, great museums and of course The Art Institute, top universities and everything that comes with that, great restaurants from e…

There appear to be two very interesting results: 1. We can observe how the state machine gets generated, first just a jumble of locations in a hub and spokes topology (no correlati…

In short: .NET multiplatform itself is open source as I'm sure you've seen here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/introduction A few specific DLLs like Visual C++ redi…

About ten years ago Adobe made a strategic decision to kill Flash. They stopped working on ActionScript tools (Flash IDE, AS3 compiler, etc) and switched all their web designer too…

That is correct, about 2/3rds comes from "operations" (mostly ads, also some hosting services, etc) https://www.statista.com/statistics/1270474/unity-software-r...

I imagine you'd disagree, you're the OP and founder :) But metro areas are important! If I'm looking at SFBA jobs, I wouldn't restrict myself to the 7x7, right? But adding all the …

Also they only include startups headquartered within city limits, not in the suburbs and the greater Chicagoland? It's a funny omission, like a list of SF startups eliding the rest…

Gamedev here. It's nice that the article recognizes the recent "mellow games" popularity. There's always been that current in gaming - in the 2010s "walking simulators" were popula…

Age of Empires 1 had AI scripts that were written as production rules in a very Lisp-like syntax. (You can still find some online.) Not sure if they integrated a full Lisp or Schem…
