#432Tailscale.
I wouldn't trust such 3th party service. It's better to host everything yourself and for free: https://github.com/subspacecommunity/subspace

#4331. https://www.starlink.com/ Finally, truly global and low latency satellite internet. 2. Generative models for video games - https://aidungeon.io/ is barely scratching the surface. Story, art, animation, music, gameplay, it will all be generated by models in the future. 3. New direct drive robotics actuators such as https://www.google.com/search?q=peano-hasel+actuators I think actuators are holding robotics back mor…
Jai? Jonathan Blow’s new programming language might be an option for you.

#434https://immersedvr.com/ Virtual monitors in an Oculus Quest that actually works. What’s coming up that will be amazing is hand controls (including a virtual keyboard) and conferencing and collaboration tools.
I'm going to try this out. I assumed the resolution of the Quest wasn't quite there to make coding in a virtual desktop comfortable. How has your experience been?

#435Earlier quoted context omitted.
Self driving cars can't rapidly move their cameras in multiple spatial directions like humans do on a continuous basis. Also we have a pattern and object detection computer behind our eyes that nothing on this planet even remotely comes close to.
Chimps have us beat when it comes to short-term visual memory (Humans can't even come close). Mantis shrimp have us beat when it comes to quickly detecting colors since they have twelve photoreceptors vs. our three. Insects have us beat when it comes to anything in the UV spectrum (we're completely blind to it). Many insects also cannot move their eyes but are still have to use vision for collision detection and navi…
I think the point was that brains are the best pattern and object detection computers, not necessarily just human brains.

#436GPGPU. GPU performance is still increasing along Moore's Law, single-core performance has plateaued. The implication is that at some point, the differential will become so great that we'll be stupid to continue running anything other than simple housekeeping tasks on the CPU. There's a lot of capital investment that'd need to happen for that transition - we basically need to throw out much of what we've learned about…
Sounds interesting, what language is best positioned for GPGPU's?
C++ through CUDA is by far the most popular option. There is some support in other languages but the support and ecosystem is far from what exists for CUDA and c++.

#437Self-driving cars. Now that the hype is over and the fake-it-til-you-make-it crowd has tanked, there's progress. Slowly, the LIDARs get cheaper, the radars get more resolution, and the software improves. UE5's rendering approach. They finally figured out how to use the GPU to do level of detail. Games can now climb out of the Uncanny Valley. The Playstation 5. 8 CPUs at 3.2GHz each, 24GB of RAM, 14 teraflops of GPU,…
“Fake it till you make it” is precisely how it will be solved

#438Quantified self tech and personalized medicine tech. Stem cell stuff. Genetic therapy stuff. We're moving from an age where a doctor was a static map of symptoms => treatments to an age where far more personalized data and processes are considered. The paradigm is also slowly shifting on being able to reverse rather than just avoid or prevent certain conditions and situations.
The level of sophistication is already making some doctors feel obsolete, by their own admission to me. If we don't get to live in exciting times, our children and grandchildren surely will.

#439Nix—It takes buy-in, but very worth it for us. Builds are reliable, reproducible, can exist alongside one another. Plug an S3 powered CloudFront cache into it, and you’re never building the same thing more than once. Deno—Sandboxed by default seems a powerful way to offer our customers to run custom code. Native TypeScript, build single bins. I have still to play around with it but those all seem like compelling adva…
Crazy idea time. Is anyone piping randomly generated code into nix and selecting for AI in the output? (I’m pretty far out of my realm here so sorry in advance)

#440I’m a little surprised that there aren’t any mentions of Obsidian, while there are at least two mentions of Roam. To all Roam lovers, and to all intellectuals in general, I’d recommend you to check out Obsidian [1] from the makers of Dynalist. It’s also a tool made mainly for Zettelkasten, but it is offline and local by default. It’s not an outliner like Roam, but rather a free-form text editor. I feel that Obsidian’…

the other thing is https://roamresearch.com/
It's a text based wiki or outliner (collapsible text) thought a step further, with auto backlinks etc.
Feels to me like a weaker org-mode, online with better cross-links/embeds (something that is indeed uncool in org. things can't live in two places at once)
