I guess that was shapez.io [1]? The situation around WebRender is pretty unfortunate, as AFAIK it is blocked by the compatibility issue in macOS. I have played it in Windows Firefox just fine though.

Anyway, I think it's more about the wording: it's very fine that the developer hasn't tested much in other browsers (not every developer has resources to do so, sure), but saying a certain browser is required or recommended implies that the issue is something to do with that browser (which might or might not be the case). Shapez.io also doesn't support macOS in its standalone build, but the statement on that was more amicable and honest; I wish the developer did the same for non-Chrome browsers as well.

> In all honesty I don't see how it's different from only releasing a game on Xbox and not PlayStation.

Consoles generally have much different requirements (hardware, vendor integration etc.) than PC games. For me it's more like Steam vs. Epic Store which I found pretty frustrating as a gamer.

>This is a bad faith interpretation of that tweet

What are you talking about? The tweet Musk trolled is in bad faith. That doofus accused Musk of staging a coup. And yes, it is 'whataboutism'.

Allegedly? Who alleged this? Where are you getting that from?

Also, not an industry, but I think that some mathematicians use category theory to translate insights from one domain to other.

(Trying the recipe itself here to find a meta-recipe) I think an insight itself from category theory to a more general recipe could be: don't try to move "laterally" to other industry, but go first "up" from a specific solution to a more general interpretation, and see what more you can solve "down" from there.
Of the cuff comment but it occurs to me that they may have been right.

I am pretty well informed politically and follow the news regularly, however, I still vote for the same party I voted for thirty years ago and always have done.

Knowing what is happening in the news has rarely changed my vote - pretty much whatever happens the parties are not going to substantially change relative to each other to the point where you would prefer a different party so following the news or not doesn’t really make a difference.

You may be in a bubble by thinking this is important when it really doesn’t matter as much as your bubble is telling you it does
What is really surprising for me was that when Tesla (or somebody like that) opens a factory (or something) in Texas, locals complain because their property taxes go up and that can be a huge issue.

Of course that means their property value goes up too, and that should be a good thing in the general case.

Its a strange kind of situation where you make the same money and then a factory opens close to you and you now make less money.

I've seen a lot of online conversations recently where the default assumption is that every Olympic sprinter, every cyclist or swimmet, basically every elite athlete is doping. It's pretty sad that we are in a world where you can work incredibly hard to make the most of natural talents and many people will assume you cheated.
> “In his games there were abnormalities, sequences that he played godlike, but there were blunders as well,”

The is the secret to successful cheating: knowing where to use the engine and where to go on your own. It is easy to run engine evaluation after the fact and see if your moves always match up with the engine. However when sometimes they do an sometimes they don't it is hard to know if you just happened to stumble on the best move. Particularly since most everyone regularly studies with an engine and so the best players sometimes will pick out the types of lines the engine will prefer without help.

Please don't take this as advice on how to cheat. Take your losses honestly.
>Ikea furniture is not wood it's crap particleboards

My kitchen table is from Ikea, it's solid wood. My Poang chair from Ikea came with a 10 year guarantee and I expect it to last longer than that. This idea that everything that comes out of Ikea is barely going to make it home is nonsense.

Of course if you buy a side table for £6 then you can't expect it to last long. That isn't representative of the whole though.

Qcdoc: Quantum Chromodynamics on a Chip (2015)
But how exactly do you "train" a 2-year old on 5 billion pictuers of non-horses? And at what point does the child learn to recognise images of anything?

I mean, how do you know it takes 5 billion images of non-horses before the child can learn to recognise a horse? Even if the child sees 5 billion images of non-horses, who says that they haven't learned to recognise the non-horses and the horses from the first of those 5 billion images? After all, I don't know that children stay transfixed for hours staring at horses and non-horses while their brains process all those billions of images until they finally get it.

I think you are making an effort to explain away something that is not very well understood by modern science, by analogy with machine learning, even though there is no good reason to suppose that the two are connected in any way.

I took huge amount of mid-day walks with kids and playground trips with kids and never ever needed someone to go find me. I did not needed husband to check how long I am away or anything like that. What exactly is "realistic timeframe" for walk with kid? For me, it could take anything between 20minutes and 4hours depending on weather, kids mood or my mood. But I did not needed husband to rescue me from dangers of local playground or park, like not once.

I am not outlier, I do not know a single woman with baby in real life who would need that level or control in order to have peaceful mind. All these "realistic examples" make me wonder whether people did not normalized huge amount anxiety for themselves. Or they are made up.

It would be easy enough to have a remote friend watching a mirror of your screen. Use an inductive loop earpiece hidden inside your ear hooked up to a phone and they could read out your next moves. I suppose you could write a program using CV to decode the opponents moves on screen and translate them into chess software in lieu of a friend performing the same task, but that's a bit overkill.
This is an oversimplified description of Jacobinism.
Between the dogma, the history/ (French revolution, England), the evolution through time and the use of it by different political groups it is difficult to summarize it by Jacobin = "hard left extremism".
In fact this reference can by use all over the political spectrum. For example, the idea of a strong centralized state power speak to communists (left) as well as nationalists (right). As well, the idea of equality of every citizen of jacobinism can be closer to centrist than extremist.

Fun remark : only the English Wikipedia article emphasis so much on a link Jacobin-left (for the languages i can read). On the other hand, the french article is much more careful and emphasis more on the difficulty and evolution of interpretation.

> Even the illiterate can see the problems. But he will not know how they came to be, or how they could be resolved.

Will the literate know? It seems similar to a sports fan saying what the coach should do. They absolutely know that if they'd just do X, they'd win. I have zero knowledge about professional sports. My guess is that neither I nor that kind of fan actually do know how to coach a professional sports team.

I believe it's similar in politics. If you don't become a subject matter expert -and I don't mean "politics expert", I mean a tiny field and literally expert, like seasonal effects on labor requirements in some specialized industry- you don't know how to fix "it" whether you watch 0 or 10 hours of news a week.
This is great! I'm very impressed with the effort that must have gone into transpiling the original JS codebase into C by hand.

Kudos!
Note this is for the virtual address space, not only for actual physical RAM. Having 256TB mmap’ed (to another kind of storage) does not seems totally out of reach.
I get 63% Chrome, 26% Safari, 5% Firefox, 2% Edge.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but this exact technique (storing extra data in addresses) was used in the early days of the MacOS, with 24 bits for the address, and 8 bits for extra info (not sure if I can remember exactly what they were for). The 68000 only had 24 address lines after all. This allowed a maximum of 16Mb of RAM which was of course far more than would ever be in a computer...

By the time the Mac II came out (68020 with 32 bit address bus), it was apparent that this was going to be an issue, and there was an effort to remove this logic. Those early machines were a combination of ROM and loaded OSes, so there was an effort to clean the code for both the distributed OS and the stuff included in the ROMs of the machines.

I think if memory serves the Mac IIcx from around '89 or so was the first machine with 32 bit clean roms, and with the right OS version you were good for >16mb of RAM.

I've also got a hazy memory of some architecture (i'm going to guess DEC Alpha) which only read from 32 bit boundaries, and where the bottom 2 bits of the address were masked out, so you could store data there too...

Anyhow, the real take home from all that was that misusing addresses to store additional information, which might seem like a clever trick is likely to bite you at some point in the future.
A better way of encouraging them to work is to not retract the support as quickly as currently done when there is a job. A lot of things are free (like GEZ for example) when you live on social security, but cost money when you have a job. Thus, you might actually be worse off financially. Even if you had 30% more money, is it really worth that small number to get up every morning at 6 am? A better encouragement would be to phase out government support over a longer span of income.

a relatively dangerous, highly infectious pandemic

Highly infectious yes, but dangerous relative to what?

Current best data from CDC and elsewhere says that compared to flu:

- COVID is far less deadly if you are healthy and under 70

- COVID is a bit more deadly if you are old, unhealthy or both

The reason is that flu is willing to kill young and healthy people but COVID virtually never does this, is preference for people who are about to die anyway is so strong that the average age of COVID death is older than the average life expectancy.

If you look at the Swedish data there are ~no deaths either of or with COVID since about the end of July. It's been riding the noise floor, probably all false positives, since then, usually between 1-3 per day. Something that's not killing anyone is hard to describe as "relatively dangerous" unless you're comparing it to some kind of unnatural lifestyle in which as much risk as possible has been removed.

The new 'second waves' of COVID are not correlated with similar second waves of deaths. This is not predicted by any epidemiological model and frankly nobody seems able to satisfactorily explain it, but an increasing number of people testing positive may mean very little when the huge ramp up in testing and unknown/untracked (!) false positive rate is considered. At any rate, it hardly justifies lockdowns.

I link to this article as an antidote to your pithy and hostile response, which flamed without actually looking at the source material.

For what it's worth Jacobin is on the whole a social democratic ("democratic socialist") publication, basically a mouthpiece of the DSA, and not particularly radical.

But saying it's a step-away from Pravda is about par for the course for the absolutely ideologically distorted "centre" of American politics within which someone like Obama can be labelled as "socialist" and mistakenly uses "socialist" as slur to describe anything that the government is involved in.

In any case, there was a time in which mainstream US publications would deign to interview people like Morales even when they were ideologically miles apart from them. Even Castro got some interview space in US newspapers back in the 60s. That time has past -- a coup was executed in Bolivia, justifications printed for it, a brutal racist regime installed, and "democrats" in the US sat back and said nothing.

Almost all my furniture has been particle boards (more stuff is particle boards than amateurs would think) since my childhood and it's been okay. Yeah, if you soak it in water it swells. It can be repaired very well, you can drill new holes, you can attach metal pieces to strengthen it etc. If you take it apart carefully, it can be reassembled. Done it many times. If you rip it apart quickly, and force things, you may damage it.
The good faith (perhaps better faith is more appropriate) way to interpret it would be as I mentioned, and calling it out for its actual issues instead of trying to soapbox by building a strawman.
The impracticality of actually "locking down" is one of the key arguments against the concept, so it's not wrong evidence at all. The idea society can be shut down for indefinite, unknown periods is not correct as we don't live in a world where all manual labour is performed by robots.
Lex is great at bringing the conversation down to a more accessible level for people. He isn't doing a presentation at a technical conference. It's a combination of entertainment and insight into how the interviewee thinks. In a way someone that is technical, but not necessarily a super engineer, can resonate with.

He speaking style can throw people off. I'm pretty sure I have heard this style from other eastern Euro and Russian people. It doesn't bother me, but I can see why it can be grating to some people.

Hi there.

I do not use any minifier. I minify the code by hand, and typically prototype ideas and performance tests in normal non-minified code. Once the main idea and approach are settled, I minify the code by hand and keep an eye on the heatmap of the DEFLATE stream to match the 1024 bytes limit.

MONOSPACE took ~4months on an off to create, tallying ~60h of work. You know 2020 + trying to balance work & family, and remain sane these days.

As I said on my site, the Audio and Visuals feed each other to make the background noise based on each dot, and the camera shake based on the Audio. That way I keep the Audio & Visuals are perfectly in synch, for free ;)

For the X & Y camera shake, I use the values 0 and 64 from the Audio buffer. The 64 is because this is the maximum number of characters rendered by the Text writer which happens in the loop updating the Audio buffer. Using something lower than the 64th value would make the last characters of the Text shake in a different way than the rest.

I went to IKEA when I was building a kitchen - solid wood counter top was an option but wasn't cheaper than hiring local custom kitchen company for similar materials and I had them design a metal frame arround the kitchen island in the dimensions that couldn't be done with IKEA. My point being IKEA isn't much cheaper when you account for materials and you usually get better flexibility elsewhere.

IKEA is like McDonald's of furniture, there's a place for it, but like the McDonald's fancy burger options if you're going for that you'll have significantly better options for a bit more money

Also, building symbolic models from neural models isn't the only useful way to combine the approaches. You can, for example, build symbolic models by capturing human knowledge and use the symbolic models to guide and constrain the neural ones.

As an example from work I'm doing now, you might have a sample that the neural model recognizes as A, and causally-connected sample that it recognizes as B, and a symbolic model that says that a change from A to B implies C.
