Wow, that's illuminating. I naively thought the overhead of converting between datatypes would not make this worth that much (in favor of saving cache misses). Though does this als…

How is a storage format that's not used for math important for speeding up actual computations? I'm curious.

To make things worse, the site doesn't work unless you disable Ublock Origin (and even when it works it's goddamn slow), and for some reason you get a location access request from …

I’ve already mentioned how to do this with metatables. But you still need to wrap this in a function and call it every time, it’s quite cumbersome. And the whole thing falls apart …

Nah, he’s more of a hobbyist in AI. I don’t necessarily think you need to be explicitly in academia to produce good academic work (independent researchers do exist), but he hasn’t …

A question: would it be too much work to port Love2D to a different embedding language? (I'm currently having looks at Squirrel ( http://www.squirrel-lang.org/ ) I always thought L…

Lua is a language that I started programming with, and has a special place in my heart even if has some crappy parts. The main issue I have with the language is with table accesses…

To be honest, that document is a prime example of what a manifesto shouldn't look like. I can't understand what you're trying to say from the beginning sentence: > No other re-ligi…

No, if you're just an owner. If you're a miner though... that's a whole different story.

If it goes to nobody, is it really "gone forever"? Did it even exist in the first place? The confusions arise from thinking cryptocurrency tokens as material things (like gold). Mo…

To be honest, even without the actual 51% attacks happening, it would really suck to live in a world where just one entity had more than half ownership of a currency used by the pe…

I really wish the current global monetary system based on the US dollar would be this simple to change as just creating a fork. Wait, it's actually the US military (which is still …

The incredibly illuminating thing about cryptocurrency hard forks, is that it reveals that money is just a numeric measure of the social relationships people have towards each othe…

> Honestly, I think the PRC's hubris is more than matched by the US's (and Western world's). Yes, I still definitely agree with that one. US’s hubris is the undeniably the largest …

I thought these were also already explained in Graeber's book... A paragraph from Chapter 8: > Why? The single most important factor would appear to be war. Bullion predominates, a…

I think that's the hubris China is currently having: as they've grown stricly because of the reliance of export-led growth, they are now dependent on the global economic order as m…

In counterpoint, many people in the US will never forget when the political leaders have transformed an mainly industrial country which gave stable jobs for their households, into …

It's illuminating (and equally harrowing) to see how much of the fundamental technology we have today has been researched and invented by the military (the Internet is one prime ex…

The real problem is that when the basic infrastructure that maintain the entertainment industry is gone, then the whole thing breaks down in shambles. For example, someday there mi…

Maybe the headline's a bit misleading, but what you're saying is almost exactly what the article is talking about. (The article immediately refutes the notion of "smashing its tech…

And the alliance countries you've listed are also suffering from those exact same problems (climate change, Covid lockdowns, capital flight, demographic crisis, deindustrialization…

You can get close-enough ballpark answers on the angles between (0, 30, 45, 60, 90). (If the questions are multiple choice, then you can design it in a way that you don't need a ca…

Yeah, but I really don't get that you need to be "educated" to use a calculator - it's just something that's just too banally simple. It's definitely not a skill that needs to be e…
