I mean, of course you're right about all of that. (The Qatar world cup was more for 'sportswashing' than extracting profit, although FIFA itself still made plenty of money. And, th…

The super league wasn't UEFA's doing at all. The top clubs themselves tried to break away and self-organize, and they ultimately won some concessions from UEFA (new CL format, more…

So what. The point of the World Cup is a worldwide celebration of soccer, interchange of culture. It belongs to the people. It's one of the only things left whose purpose is not ju…

Yeah that diagram is all over the place. The arrows on the left branching from the outline of the diagram itself?

Such a huge consumer that they deprecated it

I think they meant 'end' as in the 'ultimate destination' rather than 'conclusion'.

There's still the big cost of time spent working on it without making money from having a job.

I read it as the privilege of being able to choose a lower paying job (that lets you sleep better at night, be more fulfilled, etc)

I don't see it. What are the consequences of, for example, staring at the live flight map and only the live flight map for a 7 hour flight [1]? Sounds boring as hell but you're not…

IMO it is a complete bastardization of the phrase. The genz/alpha version is a noble form of asceticism, while the 'original' meaning is more a hedonistic indulgence without regard…

Ha! I have it too. Doesn't feel like 20% but we're out here

Awesome! I someday hope to find the time to make something like this for soccer - individual skill drills as well as gameplay analysis. Care to share any technical details about ho…

Am I missing it or is the source code not available?

> I personally regularly use the “voice” version of chatGPT to brainstorm with it while I walk my dog. We sped past the Turing test so fast that no one even beat an eyelash about i…

I mean, fox news seems to manage doing exactly that just fine without ChatGPT

I'm sure the origins of CUDA are very interesting in their own right, and it cannot be denied that the evolution of the GPU and GPU programming has had a huge impact on the growth …

I enjoyed the Machineries of Empire trilogy by Yoon Ha Lee. It also is labelled a space opera and has a decent amount of naval warfare in space

Sort of related, here are a couple rap songs that I like which self-impose similar constraints: Blackalicious - Alphabet Aerobics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxmmGToZlns Nach -…

I'm learning this stuff because I think it's fascinating. To be fair I know I'm light years behind the cutting-edge so I feel I can sleep assured that I won't take too much of the …

I think you meant to say 'product', not 'customers'

Yeah.. no compute shaders though, among other things

"256 MB of curiously high bandwidth"

As an aside, it would be cool if music could also be an input to these kinds of generative models, such that the generated image somehow matches the feeling or mood of the music.

I hope that someday there will be an option for an electric car with a manual transmission. Regardless of how small the market would be and how little practical sense it would make…
