Oh, good to hear it was just good-natured teasing :) I did kind of expect the loss of SIMD to make it paradoxically slower than the floating point version, I am curious what kind o…

Unfortunately, despite the warnings and mostly-generated code, having deterministic(?) 3D rigid-body physics is kinda cool and I'm a little tempted to use this - is the joke that f…

This is moving the goalposts from "Elon supports far-right politicians" which was cited with sources, you're just going "well he's right to"

I think Anthropic buying compute from Colossus despite the ongoing air pollution case [1] is a stain on them and is another reason not to use them [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2026/…

It's a guideline, the maintainers won't collectively explode if generated but unmarked code happens to pass review. The problem with "they can just have the AI fix what's wrong" is…

Unfortunately they're not plug-and-play _yet_ but people have significantly streamlined the process of making dialup bridges with Raspis and USB modems [1] to restore online multip…

Compelled to point out there was a wave of "AI games" before proper generative models too: the Kinect used decision forests for pose estimation [1], but in an example of the "AI ef…

It drives me a little bonkers that the UK already tried implementing age verification in 2019, with an approach that would have been easy to make verifiably anonymous: buying a sin…

Depends - how long do you have, and do you accept answers in CSV, Arrow or Parquet?
