Awesome, looking forward to use this. What was the hardest part of this project? What motivated you to attempt creating this?

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but isn't FEM used in physics engines because it is an good approximation for the underlying physics? For example, I believe the Drake Physics engine…

What's wrong with that statement? FEM is a good way to handle deformables, but it isn't the only way, so it a fine statement.

> If you look at existing GPU applications, their software implementations aren't truly GPU-native. Instead, they are architected as traditional CPU software with a GPU add-on. For…

Absence of evidence doesn't mean you can conclude that there was no hierarchy or social organization though. For that you would need evidence that there wasn't. There seems to be a…

Why are we assuming that the top of a hierarchy must dress better and eat better than everyone else? They could just be leaders who command everyone, but still an assumption of equ…

This is my main problem with archeology. They take a small amount of evidence for something and use it confidently for their conclusion. There are so many other possibilities why s…

Ah makes sense, I was thinking there was some deeper insight I was missing. Thanks!

I would couple the Experiment and the theory together, and treat them both deserving of the prize, but not sure how it works in practice. As for the general technique of ML, sure, …

What insight did you gain from back propagation that you didn't have from just the formula of the chain rule?

I’m confused why confirming important predictions is considered less impactful than ML in physics. Isn’t experimental confirmation exactly what’s required for a Nobel Prize?

This has occurred multiple times in my career. I was given a feature to co-lead with another dev, and I always wanted to be cooperative with them. Split the work fairly, try to com…

> nebulously stupid standards You should listen to the racist recording. It wasn't nebulous, it was clearly and explicitly racist. Most people think he went way too far. This isn’t…

This take is nonsensical. People don’t bring up George Floyd’s past when discussing him because it isn’t relevant to the circumstances of his death. When people protest or talk abo…
