rectcut is a good API for layout if you have a fixed viewport (eg eink display) the API is a very simple one where you slice parts off an initial Rect. the only feature it provides…

I feel like the difficulty is this needs to have positive reinforcement or incentives, if you are not comfortable or it's unpleasant, you will avoid doing it a second time.

I've been using a magnetic pad ( https://www.plus-vision.com/jp/product/kaite/ ) that works on the same principles of eink, except using magnets rather than electric fields. There'…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_hashing is probably the canonical name for this

Karpathy's post is really great, thanks!

For the researchers out there, how do you do research? Background: I've been looking at how to create a recurrent seq-to-seq model, that's not transformers. The ideas I implement d…

I dunno about slide 39 - where calling f(x) may or may not give x a value. From a code readability standpoint, a reader of the codebase needs to be wary of every function. I see th…

Look at your kitchen sink. On that metal lives a billion bacteria cells. Maybe some of them are even sentient. Do you even care to find out? Not really - its far beneath you. Human…

I agree that there might be a god, but why would such a god that can transcends time and logic.. care about humans? Humans are just a type of animal, an advanced organism, in biolo…

The energy grid is actually huge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_synchronous_grid Not sure about economic effect though, I'm not a electrical economic engineer haha

Actually I don't mind killing animals for my food. But the environment does matter to me, purely because I selfishly want to live longer and in a better environment.

a real bottom up would start from transistors, universal xor, flip flop memory, code execution, algorithmic complexity, data structures, abstraction, recursion, graphs, concurrency…

I wonder if it's possible to implement this via WebRTC and javascript? This would make it compatible with everyone with a browser, without need to develop an application for every …

There are at least two types of tolerance - for ideas (eg censorship), for people (eg racial conflict). I believe we should accept both sorts of intolerance but to a degree. For id…

I guess as long as profiles are talking heads it's fine since there's little consequence. If you want to post offensive material to some people/governments you need to work hard to…
