It depends on the precision and accuracy and data types of the arguments and result. The 80387 was absolutely faster than software emulation for F32/64/80 by hooking real-mode interrupt handlers the way it was back to the 8086/8087. For I8/16, lookup tables were faster. For I32, a quality result would be very expensive. There were no GPUs in the 387 era, and there wasn't SIMD (MMX) either. In the x86 era, compilers weren't that smart. If they were, then they were slow.

> And my Twitter usage has dropped by over 95%.

I feel sympathy for people who still love the blue bird and don't want anything to go wrong, but this right here is why the ongoing dumpster fire has been very good for me, personally.

I used to love Twitter. I used Twitter way too much. Now I don't post at all and only read a little. It can be hard to realize how bad something is for you when you are in the middle of pulling those sweet endorphins at a steady rate. My life is so much better since a certain someone decided the drug was so good that he should buy the pharmacy. Admittedly I got lucky: if he had valued it correctly or knew what he was doing, then my outcome could have been much different. Cheers to incompetence!

An Austrian who immigrates to Germany or even a German (or other EU national) who immigrates to Switzerland has a very different experience, both in terms of legal hurdles and likely relative earnings than someone immigrating from Latin America to the US.

How about if we look at immigration into the US as a whole vs immigration to the EU as a whole? What do the numbers look like, then?

You're right that the colour temperature isn't the whole story - it's a single number trying to represent a spectrum which is a line graph. So you can have wildly different spectra with the same CRI.

But even so, good LEDs are perfectly fine. Don't assume that all LEDs are crap because you bought one cheap set and they weren't very good.

Q: What is the meaning of ABBA's song "I have a dream"?

A: "I Have a Dream" is a song by the Swedish pop group ABBA, released in 1970. The song was written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and it was the group's first hit single. The song is a ballad that talks about a person's dream of finding love and happiness. The lyrics describe the dream as a "beautiful light in the dark" and a "feeling inside that no one can steal." The song has become a classic of the ABBA catalog and is still widely played and enjoyed today.

(Didn't check the details but seems okish). But let's not ask about a song that doesn't exist:

Q: And what did they mean with the song "General Trouble"?

A: "General Trouble" is a song by the Swedish pop group ABBA, released in 1969. The song was written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and it was the group's first single. The song is a pop ballad that talks about a person who is experiencing a lot of problems in their life, including relationship troubles, financial troubles, and feelings of isolation. The lyrics describe the person as being in "general trouble" and feeling like they are "losing ground." The song was not a big hit for ABBA, but it is still an interesting early work from the group and provides insight into their early sound and songwriting style.
Currently Trump is devisive candidate for republican party. Ironically dems would benefit if he is around and party is fractured.

It seems more likely that this is pretty routine with Trump and had not much to do with the campaign. I doubt he started sleeping with hot women only after deciding to run for president; and there is probably a lot of money in it for the women. One of the perks of dating billionaires.

First of all chat GPT is great.

It is all the magic of early google, and stack overflow... Not as many ads less bullshit.

I have been coding for 25 years. Chat GPT + willing sr engineer means 2 less jr. dev's. I lived through the dot com bust, and now I can do a heroic amount of work with less effort.

This raises two points:

1. It's clear that we have too much grunt work. Im not sure if this is a failure of language design or libraries, but we need to do better at the core.

2. We continue to narrow the path to get experience as an engineer. This is great for companies in the near term (this looming down cycle), but bad for the industry as a whole long term (we dont have a pool of strong jr. engineers).
You can say approximately the same about the Stalin's USSR when Beria was the most feared man. But just after Stalin's death Beria was promptly executed and the military played the major role in that.
Bevy has 2 core graphics maintainers, but they're both volunteers with extremely limited time, so there's definitely issues where your submit a PR and have to wait months for it to get reviewed.

They've also been working on patching up the core infrastructure of Bevy's renderer (fixing the shader import model, reworking the CPU side to enable batching and preparing for bindless, which are both huge optimizations). WGPU (the low level graphics library that wraps the individual APIs) also has issues with excessive locking of resources, so multithreading draw calls wasn't any faster than single threaded (A core part of Vulkan and DX12 performance is multithreading draw calls), but that should hopefully be fixed in the next few months.

In terms of the more "pretty graphics" side, cascaded shadow maps were implemented for distance shadow rendering, there's 95% ready PRs for SSAO (based on GTAO) and PCF (soft shadows), and TAA just got merged.

Finally, there's the desire to support all platforms, meaning there's a 10ton weight shackled to the renderer called WebGL 2, which doesn't even support compute shaders (which are the cornerstone of pretty much every new graphics feature from the past decade).

At the very least we have to concede that investigation and likelihood of prosecution is proportional to the noise that is made in the media and by vocal voices. It's a thousand tiny little decisions that affect the direction on the aggregate.

I'm trying to keep this comment impartial. But I want to note that right now there is a huge belief that the media and companies and the wider "acceptable" social narrative are biased against a lot of the core beliefs that people on the right align to. I too hold that belief, and I've yet to see sufficient proof to convince me otherwise.

You combine these two wide points, and I'd argue that we should sympathize with those people and not call them "crazy conspiratists" for trying to shed light on this. It's actually a difficult to prove and isolate, second-order type of conclusion.
You can't read API calls and know if they're real, or if the function names are plausible but non existent. This is the problem with GPT. It creates great sounding possible APIs, but has no idea which APIs actually exist.

I consider the whole math educational curriculum a waste of time because no math teacher or textbook ever taught me WTF math is supposed to mean. There was an absolute lack of context to basically everything beyond very basic arithmetic, and I ended up hating math.

It was only when I got into programming and it taught me math is actually much more than just meaningless letters and numbers that I finally came around to appreciating it. Programming taught me math is the language spoken by the universe, anything in this universe could be explained with math and it was truly a mindblowing paradigm shift.

Math education needs a complete redo from the ground up, it teaches nothing of value and only serves to mass-produce math-haters to the detriment of us all.
Have an internet hug! I'm not afraid of your germs, and I take immunosuppressants. I have heard that a 2.5 year sibling delta is the toughest with a newborn. Hold in there! We've been fortunate that our first daughter absolutely loves having a little sister, and she's old enough to mostly understand that babies are precious and fragile.

Our older daughter got hit with the norovirus a couple days before we did, so by the time it took us down she was over it. We didn't take any special precautions to isolate the baby, given that she most definitely got exposed the same time we did. Luckily the baby never developed any major symptoms. My wife was totally screwed with her broken leg. New lifetime achievement personal low. I had a 60 minute window between when she became violently ill and I did, which I used to build her an elevated makeshift bed close enough to the toilet that she could stand up and pivot on one leg. It was luxuriously memory foam padded. Our older daughter had the opportunity of her lifetime: camped out in the living room with the TV remote, Disney + button, no bed time. She's was so sweet and concerned though, that she kept checking in on her mom every half an hour until she passed out from exhaustion. I myself had a relatively tame night; all of my indignities could be kept between me and the washing machine.

A couple weeks ago our dog started vomiting on the mat by the back door of our kitchen. My wife started urgently shouting at me to do something. I kept doing whatever I was doing at a snails pace, probably staring at the hot water kettle or something. She got progressively more frustrated with me, "what are you doing?! Vomit! Hurry!" I turned to her and said, why are you shouting at me? Do you want me to feel stressed out about it? My sole purpose in life right now is to clean up vomit, wipe butts, and be spat up on. Of course Ollie's throwing up right now, it's the perfect compliment to my morning coffee. Just look how masterful he is, our entire house is hardwood and he intentionally walked over to that absorbent floor mat. Let me brew my coffee and enjoy a few sips. Then I'll grab some paper towel and the folex, the trash can, gag two or three times, and then it will be all fixed. I'm an expert at this.

I don't really know what I'm rambling on about anymore, but I was quite amused by the fact that I happened to throw up twice from coughing fits while typing out this post.

The value in Twitter is its network effect, social inertia and integrations in hundreds of thousands of websites, blogs, apps and APIs with 220M+ daily active users still using it every day.

Recreating that from scratch makes absolutely no sense. There is no serious alternative to Twitter and it is better to buy it instead of building it all over again.

> In any case, from my perspective Twitter didn't really make serious mistakes.

Twitter clearly over-hired like the rest of the tech companies and was wasting millions a day. It is either the mounting costs would get them in the end or someone else would reverse that downward trend to insolvency.

Drastic action was the appropriate method to stem the losses.
I tend to believe that the number of people working with machine instructions might have even increased! We have much more of the tech that I mentioned nowadays compared to 90s. Also a lot of other industries have entered digital age and in many of them, i.e aviation, transportation, financial, etc. knowing the intricacies of your hardware is crucial.

The thing is that web development has seen such a boom which has seemingly dwarfed everything else in its wake.

That's pretty much the take of the article this one references.

I look at it differently. If what we've been writing can be replaced by a machine, that leaves us with coming up with more creative solutions. We can now spend our time more usefully, I think!
Make it write a test suite that you can manually verify/expand as necessary, just like code written by humans. I don't understand this 'but how do you know it works' argument.

Google vs Oracle is still being fought a decade on now.

What hope does the legal and legislative system have of possibly keeping up here? The horse will well and fully have left the barn by the time anything has been resolved and furthermore if AI continues becoming increasing useful there will be no option other than to bend the resolution to fit what has already passed.

Not prosecuting Trump would be populist choice to appease his voters.

Also, I really dont think that "presidents should be entitled to commit any crime, because no one can prosecute them" is a good legal system to have. That would attract even more criminals to high politics, because it would make them immune to crimes.
LLM assistance tooling is only just starting out from what I see. And since this means fewer people will be needed to do what's being done right now, some of them will need to find new things to do. Whether humanity needs these things, or whether it at least doesn't make the world worse, is a different question.

It already happened with any kind of automation in the past. Do we need thousands of people spending their days building SEO pages, flooding the internet with low-value content in order to sell something? Probably not, but it's a way to game the system and make money.

I'm amazed with all these VRs priced 500+. It is not a price to dominate a market.

Here are my advice for any VR makers:

1. If you want to dominate market worldwide selling 10s millions of units you need that price to go down to 100-150USD (ripping off first adopters for 1000+ bucks won't work in a long run and you've had enough time to realize that already)

2. If you want to get price that low, you need to focus on hardware, ship simple wired and/or wireless "head wearable stereo screens" instead of entire hardware + software "ecosystems".

You welcome, don't thank me.

Not everyday I come across a fellow RPG Maker around these parts. I hail from the so-called golden age of RPG Maker (RM2K and RM2K3), those were the days I tell you.
I had a similar experience as a kid when making a game in BASIC. The player could choose their difficulty level, with higher difficulty levels having less obstacles for the player to hide behind. My code to calculate the number of obstacles looked like 'if diff=10 then obs=1; if diff=9 then obs=2; if diff=8 then obs=3; etc.' My dad looked at it, deleted all ten lines, replaced them with 'obs = 11 - diff', and my jaw hit the floor.

In the sense that a former president of the US was just indicted for the first time ever, yes, it's political. By definition, in fact.

However, to engage in a counterfactual: would I expect in the scenario that a different president not eligible for reelection were to generate the same fact pattern as Trump to also be indicted? Or another scenario: a politician who is eligible for reelection to a different lower office?

Yes, in both cases.

In other words, by virtue of Trump's position I think special care and thought was taken to make sure things are on the up and up. I think prosecutors are smart people and generally are aware and thoughtful about the position they are in. I do not think they are pursuing this issue with extra vigor because Trump is Trump.
Perhaps the old fashioned programming skills will be applied to writing test cases for the AI generated code.

There are still areas in software development where (not systemized) failure is not an option and where AI generated code absolutely can be useful, but would need careful validation from a human. Not only for unintentional errors, but also for potentially maliciously seeded errors in the model that is being used.

Perhaps manually writing test cases for the AI generated code could meet the requirements for human validation.
