    Might make things awkward but grokipedia seems way more informative on this topic to me. But I guess I am unfamiliar with the topic so half of it could be hallucination. Curious if…

    I've been playing around with this for a few weeks. Newton is a pretty thin wrapper around mujoco-warp, which is trying to port mujoco, originally a CPU sim, over to warp on the GP…

    The article makes it sound as if magnetism arises because of a delay in the propagation of the electric field caused by a limit on the speed of light. It's kinda the other way arou…

    any device that doesnt need a 20gbps or higher link is better off connected to your motherboard via a usb-a to usb-c cable. the "a" connector has not been deprecated. in some ways …

    I won $2000 in a programming competition they held at the embedded linux conference, and they never paid me, even after asking twice. Can't say I've been rooting for them since. Ne…
