    Both things can be true. SO was universally hated because they let (or actively incentivized) bullying run rampant and destroy the culture. And yes, it's possible AI would have kil…

    No, of course not coincidence. It's just that people didn't have an alternative until 2021-ish. Users hated SO for many years prior, but had nowhere to go other than small niche co…

    Big fan of SW:KOTOR series. Would love to test Vestiges when ready. You should consider creating the game on Steam, so you can start building your audience.

    You missed the point (and I should have clarified better). It's not that 1 Gbps is bad; it's pretty good, actually. And I do think Verizon is one of the least bad options. The prob…

    I live in NYC, one of the most densely populated cities in the world, and yet Verizon Fios 1 Gbps is my only option. I tried to upgrade to Fios 2 Gbps, but it's not available. Spec…

    Dave Jones didn't spare words [1] on how insane it was to have a jellybean component changing specs so significantly, particularly the input voltage from 22V to 18V, the removal of…

    Direct link, to save others a search: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4252730/Cosmic_Gold_Rush/ Well done! Reminds me of Atari's Asteroids, with a modern take.

    It doesn't seem the case; the study was made purely on behavioral conditioning. And mosquitoes don't live very long, so it's unlikely they'd learn this in practice, outside of a ve…

    It works well on Android. Just zoom in and click the number, and you can breakdown per state. Click on any state number and it breaks down per city. Pretty functional design.

    It's really unfortunate that FPGA development is still stuck in the 90s. The incentives between IP owners and hobbyists are so misaligned that I don't see the possibility of this e…

    Plus now you get access to Safari books, and you also have their online library, so virtually any books you may need are accessible for free. (That's for the CS graduate program; n…

    What a horrible title. This has nothing to do with PyTorch (other than the relationship you mentioned). A better title would be the Github repo title: "Computational Refutation of …

    This is awesome news. Thank you for the great work, and being so open to suggestions from the community. That's what makes Obsidian a world apart from all its competitors and prede…

    This is fantastic news. Just a few days ago I mentioned [1] the Obsidian Community Plugins model was broken and needed an overhaul. This is a step in the right direction. If I may,…
