The very point of the article is that you can win individually and lose as a colective, and that the competitive nature of the field goes against the greater good. And the people b…

Physics simulation is a dangerous rabbit hole. Even if you focus just on rigid bodies and just physical plausibility there are plenty of open problems related to collision detectio…

Reading AI PRs reminds me of Monty Python's holy grenade: "And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. T…

It reads like those nightmares where you need to pass final exams again. I guess nowadays it is much simpler to correlate some text with prior work, more so with LLMs. It is like t…

Maybe it's time to acknowledge that current copyright laws do more harm than good and put another framework in place.

Why have the powerful not completely killed the rest of the people? A. Ethics/Morals B. Power balance C. People are a valuable resource I think we are all a little concerned it is …

Tangentially related, but I hope will be appreciated by the nostalgic people here: Recently, reading the Wikipedia article about Z-order curves, I found this link inside the articl…

That's like 4 times the ESA budget, and still insignificant compared to the money poured into AI. Several companies could cover that budget with quarterly profits.

Yes, it has the authority. There are plenty of EU regulations that states must obey, from fundamental rights to taxation.

Everything is OK. I love looking at desktops, but I became old to put the effort. I think you are a bard more than a wizard.

Apple makes excellent hardware (laptop, phone, mini...) to the point I'm willing to pay more for it, but I would prefer a lot to customize my SW. And so I avoid their hardware.

Most screenshots for these well known guys are quite boring. Coincidence? I think if you want to be good at something you need focus.

You cannot uninstall Apple Music. That alone is alienating.

Everybody chooses a favorite depending on their domain. A function executes, and some error happens: - Return error value: try to handle the error ASAP. The closer to the error the…

One reason in Julia for having an organization with multiple repositories is how unnecessary is in Julia to have big packages. It is better to have smaller more focused packages an…

In some fields throwing away and rewriting is the standard, and it works, more or less. I'm thinking about scientific/engineering software: prototype in Python or Matlab and conver…

People adapt to the circumstances. A lot of Python uses are no longer about fast iteration on the REPL. Instead of that we are shipping Python to execute in clusters on very long r…

From TFA: "There is no legal responsibility for a landlord to enforce the payment of taxes by their tenants, nor any suggestion that Aziz should be paying the bill." This usually m…

Same here. I just use https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm and https://github.com/suonlight/multi-vterm

I'm a developer and: - I hate ORMs, they are the source for a lot of obscure errors behind layers and layers of abstractions. - I prefer analytical APIs for technical reasons, not …

According to Wikipedia [1] we consume 9717 Mtoe or equivalently 408 TJ (per year, although it is not explictely stated, which I find annoying). The earth moment of inertia is about…

It's because the quaternion is part of the state of the Kalman filter.

Sometimes I wonder if we are going to be the unkillable plague that takes over the universe. Or maybe we will dissappear in a blink. It's hard to know, we don't have any reference …

True. I was citing from memory and only recalled the most famous author.

Nice book. For another old but excellent math book I recommend Geometry and the Imagination by David Hilbert. No gutenberg remake I'm afraid, maybe because of the numerous (and inc…
