The idea is that NPUs are more power efficient for convolutional neural network operations. I don't know whether they actually are more power efficent, but it'd be wrong to dismiss…

Even with modern digital codecs and streaming, there's usually chroma subsampling[1], so the color channels may have non-square "pixels" even if overall pixels are nominally square…

> This metalanguage must have some kind of constructs to describe unknown things, or things that are deliberately simplified in favor of exposition. Perhaps you're thinking of math…

Linux supports per-process namespaces too, and has tools like firejail to use them for sandboxing, but nonetheless sandboxing is not widely used.

> if digital painting were solved not by a machine learning model, but human-readable code, it would be an even more bleak and cruel joke, isn't it? On the contrary, I'm certain su…

I largely agree with this, but at the same time, I empathize with the FA's author. I think it's because LLMs feel categorically different from other technological leaps I've been e…

Test successful?

Thanks for organizing for me my thoughts on why even a restricted modern subset of C++ is complicated.

Ditto. It's also significantly lighter weight than competing readers (at least when I bought mine), has physical buttons, has color models, and has really good battery life possibl…

Like the author, I've also found myself wanting to recover an accidentally deleted file. Luckily, some git operations, like `git add` and `git stash`, store files in the repo, even…

I'm not the author, but these video-in-game projects typically work with a few phases: 1. Get the game into a specific state by performing specific actions, moving to specific posi…

There's a somewhat easier way to implement 2-argument-function flip in C++ than the blog post provides: #include constexpr auto flip(const auto& f) { return std::bind(f, std::place…

Docker Engine without Docker Desktop is available through winget as "Docker CLI"[1]. [1]: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifes...

Pyright catches an awful lot of dumb mistakes I make in Python.

Is there any reason to explicitly train for role reversal? Can't you instead swap the input labels on any instruct tuned LLM? The model is trained on both sides of the chat log eit…

Rust bindgen[1] will automatically generate native Rust stucts (and unions) from C headers where possible. Note that c_int, c_char, etc. are just aliases for the corresponding nati…

Try Arch Linux. It hits all your points except maybe 5. 1. It symlinks redundant bin and lib directories to /usr/bin, and its packages don't install anything to /usr/local. 2. You …

There's no implied license because the news site that told them to use the image — through the OpenGraph protocol — is (supposedly) not the rights holder.

I don't think that can explain why they're only targeting certain sub-categories of porn, and it's also contradictory to the public statements by Valve: > We were recently notified…

I'd love for Helix to implement a "Kakoune mode". I develop on Windows at work, where Kakoune is not ideal, so Helix seems like it'd be a perfect fit, except I can't get over the k…

> On average the precision is equal. The mantissa just adds linear segments to a logarithmic curve. Yes, exactly; the linear regions are needed to more evenly distribute precision,…

Without a mantissa, way too much precision is allocated to the near zero range and not enough to the "near infinity" range. Consider that without a mantissa, the second largest flo…

Haskell has `bottom`[1] (see also [2]), which acts like Rust's `return` from a type checking perspective. I wouldn't call using a uninhabited type for the type of a return expressi…

My phone is not the only device I use my ear buds with. Having to contantly attach and remove a usb-c adapter would be a complete pain in the ass. It's not just a matter of pluggin…

Any law that allows a government to renounce people's citizenship for broad, vague reasons is a very, very bad law. Regardless of its intentions, it will be used as a tool to subve…
