Our experience has been the direct opposite. The way to get the most out of cursor was to leave it on auto - we saw it average around 3.9 cents per request under the old contract (…

I quite enjoyed their Omega Mart in Vegas. Was there for work and gambling, shows, and gun ranges are really not my thing, glad there was something different. (I did wander round t…

I think maybe https://oeis.org/A263499 You can shorten the candidates list quite a bit: https://oeis.org/search?q=author%3A%22Chai+Wah+Wu%22+2015+Pr... The article says "Spring 201…

I was doing something related for genuary recently, but with different constraints - I wanted to make a photgraph look painted in a fauvist style, with visible brushstrokes (and a …

You would find things in there that were already close to QM and relativity. The Michelson-Morley experiment was 1887 and Lorentz transformations came along in 1889. The photoelect…

It's been shared here many times, but Terence Eden has a great anecdote about how the UK's GDS standards - lightweight, simple html - meant the site was usable even on a crappy PSP…

it works for any number of integers. The first proof above (before tl;dr) is showing that every positive integer has a unique representation as a sum of distinct powers of 2, ie bi…

I'm saying it's a tautology because it's just a binary representation of the set. Suppose we have 8 players, with x and y being 2 and 4: set the 2nd and 4th bits (ie 2^2 & 2^4) and…

you're only sorting players within a single hand. so a list of under 10 items? thats trivial

BTW, yet another way to do it (more compact than the bitwise and prime options) is the Cantor pairing function https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairing_function ... z = (x+y+1)(x+y)/2…

The typo is most likely the extra /, in (x/y)/(x^2+y^2) instead of (xy)/(x^2+y^2). `2^x & 2^y ...is the & a bitwise operator...???? That would produce a unique ID? That would be ve…

It looks like you have typos? (x^2+y^2)+(sin(atan(x/y))*cos(atan(x/y))) reduces to x^2+y^2+( (x/y) / (x^2/y^2 + 1) ) - not the equation given? Tho it's easier to see that this woul…

The boids in this demo form smaller flocks (both tighter, and fewer individuals) than other implementations I've seen. I had a look at the code and I'm not sure it's "right"? (I kn…

"release" is maybe too strong a word, it's not a lot of code and I don't plan to put any more effort into the nonexistent interface since it was just built for personal use. But th…

On the subject of whisper being great... A few weeks ago a co-worker commented about the difficulty he'd had editing a work demo, I pointed at various jump-cutting tools that had a…

That's an odd take. Teams doesn't have the leading market share in videoconferencing, Zoom does. I can't judge what it's like because I've never yet had to use Teams - not a single…

One of the results for hilbert curve marble tracks, mentioned elsewhere in the thread, was a video showing how to make one in blender, which has a physics engine so it can simulate…

You can also get reasonable results from using quasirandom sequences https://extremelearning.com.au/unreasonable-effectiveness-of... - which are trivial to generate. That's the kin…

Also, disabling scrolling and using swipe for sections instead _at a font size that causes text to overflow_, depending on phone screen size, meaning a bunch of the site is _litera…

In the code I saw, at least twice in its history people had introduced a "pure lua" solution for speed, and were clearly unaware of the shotgun they'd just pointed at their feet. (…

A word of caution. A few years ago we had a production impact event where customers were getting identical cookies (and so started seeing each others sessions). When I took a look …

Bush Derangement Syndrome is covered (the writeup is linked to from the TDS article) but there is something special when republicans in multiple state legislatures have proposed _l…

Remove 501(c)3 status, apparently. Trump's repeatedly threatened this in other cases - the TNPA concluded he didn't have that power with executive orders, but congress did https://…

the paper also has a website with a longer supplemental video than the one linked to above, includes most of the examples from the paper but animated https://www.epfl.ch/labs/gcm/r…
