Nothing new under the sun, the same thing has been happening since the "big data" keyword became popular in the 2010s.

Yep, same with code, the models are always verbose by default. Conincidentally, the output is charge per token. Another one is a table of contents in something short.

Why is the company called Flock? Because the oligarchy and their police/government/tech enforcers view citizens as sheep. It's so flagrant, a sci-fi author couldn't come up with so…

Without any concrete description of the AI techniques used, one can't help but wonder if they have labeled something like nonlinear model-predictive control as "AI".

This is a great comment. As someone who is familiar with R^3 geometry but not projection or clipping, I feel like I could almost implement it from your comment alone. Can you expla…

It's really natural! - make a bunch of edits - decide I don't like all of them - copy the part I want to keep - undo a bunch - paste the good part This is copy, not cut, but it wou…

I'm not a synth designer or analog IC engineer, but from my limited knowledge: Most polyphonic synths use individual chips for the main building blocks such as voltage-controlled o…

Great point. I've taken so many grey-blob photos of forests. Any course on landscape photography will teach that landscapes should (usually) have a foreground, middle ground, and b…

Probably some of both, but 11k is extremely reasonable for this. If I understand correctly, it has 3x complete subtractive synths per key (not just 3 oscillators into 1 filter) x 4…

yep, developers from 10 or even 5 years ago would have considered it a hilarious joke

imo this was the single worst problem with SO, people always searching for the XY problem in every question instead of taking it at face value

github's original tagline was "Social Coding".

UI does not register quick taps on iphone 15p duckduckgo browser

Seaborn is already a nice high level semantic plotting interface. I suppose it doesn't target HTML output in a web app, but its main API is very declarative, one big function call …

One can predict forces involved in landing for specific hardware using machine learning, e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.08027 .

They both work great. The MUSIC in Facing Worlds is amazing! I wasn't old enough to fully appreciate good electronic music back then :)

There was a spirited debate about Quake III Arena versus Unreal Tournament. Both were praised, but UT had more creativity in game modes (Assault, Domination) and weapons, better bo…

ROS sucks, good move. Too complicated

I have a conspiracy theory that these unnecessary projects to replace intersections with roundabouts in small/midsize towns are driven by kickbacks from the contractor to the city …

There's only one GLM in my heart: the one that includes vec3.hpp

Not relative to its available resources. For example, there's still no option to penalize intersections. I'm still getting absurd side-street routes and unprotected lefts/crossings…

For me, it's hard to imagine him giving up the printed newspaper strip's connection to the physical world. Calvin and Hobbes is filled with references to the basic elements of phys…

I wonder why we use something polynomial-based instead of something exponential-based like the decibel scale?
