This is great news. I'm really rooting for a successful trend of Serverless runtimes, mainly as a weapon against rising cloud deployment costs.

While the general trend today is to back the serverless environment with Javascript runtimes (Cloudflare runs its edge on top of V8, Netlify uses deno, most other serverless runtimes use nodejs), I'm optimistic that WebAssembly will take over this space eventually, for a bunch of reasons like:

1. Running a WASM engine on the cloud means, running user code with all security
controls, but with a fraction of the overhead of a container or nodejs environment. Even the existing Javascript runtimes, comes with WebAssembly execution support out of the box! which means these companies can launch support for WASM with minimal infra changes.

2.It unlocks the possibility of running a wide range of languages. So there’s no lock-in with
the language that the Serverless provider mandates.

3.Web pages that are as ancient as the early 90s are perfectly
rendered even today in the most modern browsers because the group behind
the web standards strive for backward compatibility. WebAssembly’s specifications are
driven by those same folks - which means WASM is the ultimate format for any form of
code to exist. Basically, it means a WASM binary is future proof by default.

I've published my (ranty) notes on why Serverless will eventually replace Kubernetes as the dominant software deployment technique, here - https://writer.zohopublic.com/writer/published/nqy9o87cf7aa7...

It's more of you own a receipt issued by a certain authority that backs your claim to the collectible item but not the item itself.

As with regards to sentimental value, I'm actually in favor of the concept in this context of collectible trading but I hardly see any application in the NFT world like for example yesterday someone posted an article about an NFT built atop Dorsey's debut tweet on the platform that plummeted a whooping 99% in value and the investor lost around $3 mln on his trade, that made me think what sentimental value could this tweet for him to warrant such a ridiculous valuation but I couldn't find an answer except it was just a vehicle of speculation for him, a very risky and foolish one in the end.
No offense at all, and I know the expectations in Russia were already super low to begin with, but saying the sanctions are a joke because Russia can route it's imports through a 3rd world neighbor does not exactly scream everything is "actually OK". The situation is extremely bad.
Can you post any link to left leaning people calling for violence against LGBTQ aligned individuals?
> That is a lot of word salad.

Well legal nuance often is.

> Is my understanding wrong?

Yes. NFTs can convey ownership of real, personal and/or IP.

For example, take Bored Apes Yacht Club NFTs. If you own a BAYC NFT, then you receive commercial IP rights to an underlying image.

Assuming we both reside somewhere in the US, if I were to begin commercially producing products bearing your image, then you individually (as opposed to Larva Labs the company that created the copyrighted image) could sue me for injunctive relief and damages.

Alternatively, if someone were to mug you and force you to open your phone and transfer your BAYC NFT to their wallet, it would most likely be considered grand theft because the dollar amount of the property involved. Further, you would also have a remedy in civil law to sue the criminal for the damages. It’s not treated any differently that any other property theft.

And of course if you buy the BAYC NFT and later sell it for a profit, the IRS treats it as a capital gain and you have to pay taxes subject to penalties and enforcement action.

From the legal perspective most recently Wyoming passed a law creating and establishing the first DAO LLC legal entity, which is a LLC that can be algorithmically managed by smart contracts/holders of NFTs. This further formalizes legal recognition under the law.
TCP dates from 1974, QUIC from 2012. I don't think a new transport protocol after 38 years invalidates my point - that there is less room (not none) for innovation in the protocol than there is for innovation in the things that use the protocol.

I think that's a good shortcut. Converting from axis-angle to quaternions is similar to switching from an angle to a vector (cos angle, sin angle). However I didn't really grok quaternions until looking at geometric algebra, and I haven't used them since then so I can't be sure my intuition is right.

Thanks! It was tricky to build in so much flexibility and customization while still keeping the overall UI feeling relatively clean.. I try to strike a good balance there, but if you feel there are areas where I haven't succeeded, definitely let me know.
As far as I know, every major human civilization across the span of history has been a bubble that eventually collapsed to a much reduced state. Egyptians, Romans, Sumerians, Mayans. . . Now we've gone and created a truly massive population bubble, with the aid of technologies like antibiotics and industrial fertilizer production. A crash of some sort appears inevitable.
I'm glad it helped, asking questions is the only way to learn. Especially when you can't RTFM because there isn't a fine manual to read.

Yes, Intel and AMDs video drivers are opensource.

> It's really hard to find a tl;dr of how to get your graphics card working.

So I don't know what video card you have, or what the problem is. With something like Debian it could easily be that your video card is too new for the kernel version if you don't have backports enabled.

That is when the AMD website drivers come in, as they are normally for older kernels, so they are used to enable to video card while your distribution gets up to date.

This is why Ubuntu became so popular, it took Debian and made everything slightly more up to date, plus made the Nvidia drivers accessible. Though if you find Debian not quite new enough for your usecase, try something like OpenSuse or Fedora. Make a bootable USB and see if they are any better for you. Or enable backports, I found that didn't work for my usecase as I had kernel panics, and could not get to enable them.

Let me know if you have any other questions or queries.
Thank you. That makes sense.
It would seem to make sense, until biology gets in the way. Mammals have several exquisite mechanisms for regulating sodium. Unless you're very sick, they work fine. So there is no 'direct' relationship at all.

While I agree with you about Plato, I think you are underestimating our other sources on Socrates. The historian Xenephon was also one of his students and talked about him in his works, including Socrates' trial and death. The playwright Aristophanes also parodied Socrates in one of his works and while it is a parody what it is parodying is consistent with what we know of Socrates' philosophy as presented by Plato and shows he was a fairly well known figure at least among the play going audience.

Did the study measure revealed opinions, or does it just measure stated opinions? I would expect many participants, upon hearing that they were paid to watch CNN, would become primed to think that the study creators are expecting to see less-conservative answers, and some of them would answer less-conservatively than they actually believe. The effect doesn’t sound very large, in any event.

Calfironia is mandating that everyone currently employed when this goes through get a pay raise that can't be cut back.

This, however, wouldn't be able to practically impact future hires or readjustments of pay bands. So, all future employees would likely see a pay cut.

Isnt that the point? Your contribution is freely accessible to the community. If your work gets used, then you contributed

If you want to get paid for your work, set up a contract beforehand. Get paid to work on GPL code upfront - dont try to get paid for how it is used after. How it is used is heavily effected by not needing to pay for it in the first place.

Otherwise you are like the guy at the gas station who randomly cleans your windshield and then asks for a tip. Like yes, my windshield was dirty and you deserve to be paid for your work, but no one asked

Systems like TOR/Tunguska/Buk should be easily capable of detecting the Bayraktar and destroying it. It's not like Russia didn't see how it worked in the Armenian/Azerbaijan conflict. They knew Ukraine had Bayraktar, but seemed completely unprepared to deal with it.

They created a replica database running the new version, then switched over to it. Not too dissimilar to what you describe, although more work since they started out with only a single instance without replication support.

> a fraction of the overhead of a container

I mean, only in theory or when looking at it from the right angle, right? Or are you only comparing against JavaScript (unclear)? WASM is still much slower than native code. Containers spend most of their time executing native code; the "overhead" of containers is at the boundaries and is minor compared to the slowdown by moving from native code to WASM. In the future WASM may approach native performance, but it's not there now. I'm 100% certain that transitioning my native-code-in-containers workloads to WASM would be slower, not faster.

This is partly due to survivorship bias. I bet that anyone who bought Argentinian stocks in 1927 never recovered their investment. A lot of the dotcom investments simply failed and disappeared. And I'm sure there are examples of land booms that never recovered either.
Oh yes, everything alive has the same level of evolution, that said, things evolve and adapt at different rates.

The term 'evolved' I think can be used in English to describe something 'more advanced' by the crude and arbitrary manner in which we generally apply it.

Maybe in a Scientific context it wouldn't be correct, I admit that.
I realize that Substack is popular but I've never encountered a writer whose work I was so interested in that I was willing to pay them individually.

A key part of the value I get out of other subscriptions is aggregation.

I've backed lots of projects via Kickstarter etc - I'm down for supporting things and people that tick my boxes. Maybe I'm just allergic to the idea of paying for emails. I didn't sign up when the NYTimes tried to productize their newsletters either.
Take a look at what they've done. The basic idea is that the video is "on rails", moving forward on its own, but at any point you can pause and move around the objects from the video. Then you can go back to the video and it interpolates back to the recorded track. I loved what they did, but it didn't help me understand quaternions ;(
> Quite bluntly, this all sounds like an attempt to reinvent euclidean geometry following a convoluted way. I mean, what does all this buy you that applying a subset of affine transformations (scaling, translation, rotation) to an orthogonal coordinate system doesn't give you already?

It is attempting to reinvent Euclidean geometry, yes. I don't think it's convoluted though.

To give a prime example, take the article we're commenting on: interpolating rotations. Or more generally: interpolating transformations. Just doing this with rotations without suffering gimbal locks already brings you to quaternions. Are quaternions 'convoluted'?

The fact that all objects are native to the algebra means they're composable. Take for example this slide of the formula of a 4D torus in coordinates, and in 4D PGA: https://i.imgur.com/T4hofL2.png The talk in general has a bunch of example applications: https://youtu.be/tX4H_ctggYo?t=4232

Questions such as "the intersection of this line and this plane", "the line through two points" "the circle where these two spheres intersect", "the point at the intersection of three planes", "the projection of this line on this plane" and such are trivial, native (the resulting object is part of the algebra) and exception-free in geometric algebra. E.g. two planes always intersect, it just happens that the intersection is a line at infinity if they're parallel.

The exact same code used to translate and rotate a point around the origin can be used to translate and rotate a line, or a plane around the origin.

Also note that most of computer graphics already realizes that embedding our geometric space into a larger space is useful. Projective geometry (embedding 3D into 4D) is already everywhere, because it unifies translations and rotations into a single concept (matrix multiplication). Geometric algebra simply goes a step further.
Ah good old "but they lynch African Americans in USA" distraction. Russian TV loves it.

BTW today is day 55 of the war in Ukraine. 55 days it's not about "sides of the story" it is about Russians bombing and killing Ukrainians. And then denying that.

Stop the war. Then we can talk.
> traditional art doesn't need to be understood by any existing legal authority and people collect art

The content of the artwork is immaterial. Physical possession and real ownership are very well legal concepts and well covered by the corpus of laws essentially everywhere. There's even international laws covering possession of physical things.

Oh! You mean the scanning speed. I thought you was talking about the original PDF preview. For now, scanning is using emscriptened ImageMagick Wasm.

Not plausible. Humans at much higher density had been able to drive island populations to extinction, but had not succeeded on a continent. Furthermore, they had been in the Americas for many millennia already.

Horses and camels were all over Asia, coeval with humans, and did fine. Lions survived in in Europe well into recorded history. Africa, of course, retained about everything for hundreds of millennia, except for 3 genera right at 12800 years ago. The only notable extinction in Eurasia was the woolly mammoth, which survived only on Wrangel Island. Humans had been in the Americas for many millennia, but populations of these animals did not decline during that time.

Instead, the 30+ genera and the Clovis people all vanished at identically the same time, coincident with the layer of radically elevated platinum dust, shocked quartz, and soot.
Looks like it comes with Typescript support
> It's funny to consider that as a spiritual practice people train for.

Yeah, I think the thing to note is that in the Tibetan teachings there are various "bardos" [1], three in "ordinary" life and three around the time of death [2]. They also teach that the bardos of death are an opportunity for self-liberation. So if you can't bring awareness/lucidity to the dream state, how likely are you to be able to during the time of death? It's thought of as an opportunity to practice for those moments.

So I think it's easiest to understand the "why" around the dream practice when you put it into that context.
