That's a quite different thing, OpenAI has billions of USD/year cash flow, and when you have that there's many many potential way to achieve profitability on different time horizon…

It's also because around 20 years ago there was a "reset" when we switched from x86 to x86_64. When AMD introduced x86_64, it made a bunch of the previously optional extension (SSE…

In my experiments claude4 opus generated by far the best code (for my taste and purposes) but it's also a pretty expensive model. I think I used up $40 in one evening of frantic vi…

It's even worse than that, because the way they extract the causal link is just a regex, so "vaccines > autism" because "Even though the article was fraudulent and was retracted, 1…

Also when you visit most japanese websites you can see this phenomenon. I've read an explanation once that this is because culturally, japanese people perceive a wealth of informat…

In my view, there is a major flaw in his argument is his distinction into pure engineering and science: > We can make a rough distinction between pure engineering and science. Ther…

Is there any strong reason to use GeoParquet instead of straight up parquet if all I'm interested in is storing and operating on lat/lons? I'm curious if it compresses them better …

Sure but all pre-made, battle-tested tree datastructures you'd use in production in all languages already come with some form of iterator that you can just for-loop over, so the or…

I think figuring out the fastest version of a shader at runtime is very non-trivial, I'm not aware of any game or engine that can do this. I think it'd be possible in principle, be…

No need to scrape anything when you can just subpoena. That is the business palantir is in.

It looks more like Desktop GL might move to mobile devices soon. nvidia seems to be pushing really hard in that direction. But it'll remain to be seen where things go.

Eh, a lot of the recent articles on hackernews about GL have been fairly low-quality and were badly researched (like the guy who complained about timer queries blocking, because he…

No, that would make no sense whatsoever. You seem to be somewhat misinformed about GL... * OpenGL core profile is quite clean and lean. Both apple and intel have already decided no…

I use chromium with a 5760*1080 resolution, and I frequently have > 150 tabs open across 3 browser windows, and I really have no complaints. I also occasionally peruse or develop W…

It's a matter of perspective -- to someone who has taken a university class on lambda calculus/on logic that had a chapter on lambda calculus (e.g. as part of a M.Sc. in mathematic…

Yeah, I'm aware that some projects that apply computer science to pure mathematics (in various forms like Kenzo/CAT, PLEX (not CPLEX, that's for applied mathematics/finance/etc), a…

AFAIK dynamic languages have gone away from compiling to native code because there is almost no benefit to it, if all you're doing is basically unrolling your interpreter into a un…

Category theory is pretty popular IME, I've seen lots of mathematician talk about it. It seems fairly popular especially with algebraic geometrists and algebraic topologists. OTOH …

When I visited the university of Göttingen, it was everywhere. Students also seem to have it adopted as the drink of choice.

A isn't really very low-hanging though, rewriting the build-system for something as complex as the kernel would be quite the undertaking even just from a technical standpoint, let …

Your anecdote may tell us something about the "typical grandma end-user" situation, but it is totally irrelevant for situations that arise in large "enterprise" IT facilities, wher…

> Chrome is not immune to bad JS and will also slow down your system until the single tab is killed/crashes. That's true, but with like 8-or-so cores I don't really care or even no…

They use them less because they are less practical and due to their purity are unable to fulfill peoples (real, rather than theoretical) requirements. Measuring LOC required to imp…

Developing USB drivers is actually totally fantastically easy nowadays with libusb(x). You can more-or-less just pretend your USB device is a server you talk to through a socket. N…

And just what makes you think making a purely functional language 'lambdacious' will not a few years later result in a book 'Industrial strength lambdacious'? You're falling for th…
