    I don’t think the Show Me section makes sense, the TOON variant clearly doesn’t have the same information. And the examples in the “How TOON works” section focuses on number of cha…

    It's a video talking about and showcasing some "strange loops" (an idea coined by Douglas Hofstadter in his book "Gödel, Escher, Bach"). Probably most interesting to the people her…

    Games on Whales runs containers, it doesn’t stream your desktop or your steam installation for example. So use case is for those that use the PC directly but also want it available…

    The money itself might not be dirty, couldn’t you just claim something like “I sold a secret, highly valuable algorithm to this guy”? Tax would still need to be paid of course

    Those look more like one-off prompts, and not a proper chat/collab with Gemini.

    No it wouldn't, companies like Nintendo and Sony make money from selling games on their platform, and they still need to sell as many of their consoles as possible to do that.

    It’s more like a torrent client that has thepiratebay built into it. The main point of Tachiyomi is to have easy access to pirated content directly in the app. Tachiyomi without ex…

    The example at the end made me wonder if Apple's model is actually better than GPT2 for text prediction. It generated garbage, but all that garbage made somewhat sense in the conte…

    It's only factor 2 with an increasing array though. At which point you can just take the last element, that's way faster. So really you end up having to make assumptions about the …

    What do you mean? How can the connector in the phone break when it’s just a hole?

    Money from advertisers doesn’t decrease long-term without uBO/yt-dlp users (since they don’t watch ads and pay for them). So less operating costs for Youtube, and more money for cr…

    In the final video, there are still some texture artifacts whenever the number is on the edge (e.g. the ball 4 at 5 seconds). Maybe because of mipmaps? I can't really think of a re…

    I'm also new to shaders, so I might be wrong: Camera distortion (/perspective) is done in the vertex shader, this post here presents a fragment shader. So if you take a quad, in th…

    When you come across this illusion, you can "break" it by getting a piece of string and holding one end over the moon and one over the sun, and you'll more easily see how the moon …
