> the 2D space itself is flat

It's not that simple. "Flat" is not a topological property, it's a metrical property. The correct statement is not that "the" 2D torus is flat, but that it is possible to put a flat metric on the 2D topological space that is called a "torus". That's what the "Asteroids" space does.

But it is also possible to put a curved metric on the same topological space--for example, just use the obvious metric derived from the embedding in 3D Euclidean space that we're all familiar with. The "torus" topological space in itself has no metric, and both the flat "Asteroids" metric and the curved "doughnut" metric are valid metrics on that topological space.
I’m an ML engineer and frankly that paper is not very good in my opinion. It’s quite confusing. The BERT paper is much more approachable.
I do not have any anger inside me -- just looking forward to helping more people. I support the health of women and men. The thread above is a perfect example of my point. It is literally impossible to talk about caring for men. If you talk about trying to save homeless men, people will get upset at you.

I talked about caring for men. It makes them so angry to care about men. When we talk about men freezing to death on the streets, the topic extends to "toxic patriarchy". I not participate in these abstract conceptual fictitious wars of mainstream though on any side. I care about helping life. Men are your brothers and need to be saved.

One day the world will wake up from their trance. I am optimistic.

> "Svelte 3 was released more than four years ago! In JavaScript-framework-time, that's eons. Svelte’s freshness has persisted throughout, but Node.js and browser APIs have evolved during that time and today we’re updating Svelte to take advantage of some of these improvements. Svelte 4 is mainly a maintenance release, bumping minimum version requirements and tightening up the design in specific areas."

This seems eminently reasonable to me.

to give you perspective, Nodejs went from v10 to v20 in the same time frame.
I'll always be surprised on how badly teamspeak dropped the ball (although it seems that they finally have an open beta for teamspeak 5!).

Discord would probably win at the end anyway, especially because of the need for self-hosting (even though I don't think it was that bad... there were quite a few open servers),

But they had such a dominant position and, while Discord kept evolving, TeamSpeak just stayed the same... With the network effect that they had, I think with just some small improvements (mostly on the text chat support) they could stay relevant for a long time.
This post is a brief primer on quantum cryptography and quantum cryptanalysis. It aims to be an accessible read.

We begin by defining Claude Shannon’s elementary unit of classical information: the bit. We then define Benjamin Schumacher’s elementary unit of quantum information: the qubit. We use photons as a way to illustrate both.

We use this understanding of quantum information to describe quantum computers. We introduce the concepts of superposition and entanglement. We show how powerful quantum computers are relative to classical computers. We briefly discuss Shor’s algorithm and Grover’s algorithm.

We end with a description of quantum key generation and distribution (QKD). We show that QKD provides a method for parties to have full certainty as to whether a key was intercepted by an eavesdropper because all eavesdropping measurements perturb the quantum information.
Did you read the article? Svelte 4 is mostly a maintenance release. It is largely backwards compatible with Svelte 3 code.

So did more than half of the socialist party elit (elephant du PS), even freaking Cambadelis, are you suggesting he’s far left to ?

> against the capitalist system

Well yes, almost by definition of being on the left I would argue.

> So if you think Le Pen is extreme on one side then Melenchon has to be equally extreme on the other side.

No, this is a false equivalence. I mean the far-left as a political position does exist in France, but it is not represented by Melenchon who is still largely a socialist, although the actual socialist party has significantly shifted rightward in the 10's so there is a perception issue there.
Not that ethanol isn't also neurotoxic (to a much lesser degree), but bootleg moonshines common during prohibition often contained trace amounts of methanol, the number of people irreversibly injured by methanol poisoning greatly exceeded the number who died.

By 1926, according to Prohibition, by Edward Behr, 750 New Yorkers perished from such poisoning and hundreds of thousands more suffered irreversible injuries including blindness and paralysis. [0]

rss-bridge: Can generate feeds for a ton of different sites. I use it for Twitch feeds.

It's been refreshing to subscribe to the feeds I want to see and not have "recommended" content stepping all over what I want to see. Recent trends make me worried some of these services are going to go away in the near future though.

It's unlikely that it was deliberately done for evil reasons.

However it contributes to a misunderstanding that may in some way favor richer countries, and that could be a reason why nobody's trying very hard to focus kids' exposure on more accurate maps.

The mechanism I'm alluding to is a sense that "this place is very big, and so it's reasonable that it controls more than other places." It's not a highly-developed intellectual analysis, but more of a gut-level conception that informs casual interpretation of news and events.

> If OpenGL is maintained as a fallback, then how does adding Vulkan and keeping OpenGL simplify the code?

I think the idea here is that Vulkan will be the "modern" renderer and OpenGL will become the "legacy" renderer. Then, there's no need to worry about conditionally "up-featuring" the OpenGL renderer anymore. They're two separate backends, which is arguably cleaner than a million conditionals in the OpenGL code.

I think the biggest argument, reading as a complete outsider, is really this one:

* driver behavior is much more predictable and well specified.

OpenGL drivers, overall, are _screwed up_ and ridiculously unpredictable. And it's only getting worse now that Vulkan is around, since there's even less incentive than ever for GPU vendors to make functioning OpenGL drivers. Supporting Vulkan now would both save out on driver compatibility issues and get out ahead of the OpenGL driver atrophy.

Additionally, know that there are different versions of UUID's. If you want to create chronologic UUID's so that queries are more easily ordered, use the correct type.

> Svelte 4 reduces the Svelte package size by nearly 75% (10.6 MB down to 2.8 MB), which means less waiting on npm install. This improvement will be especially noticeable for users who are loading our interactive learning experience on learn.svelte.dev for the first time, users of the Svelte REPL, and users with limited connectivity. The majority of the remaining package size is eslint support, which necessitates distributing a CJS build, and once the eslint rewrite is completed the Svelte package size can drop by over another 50%.
> Yeah, credential inflation's a whole thing.

If it were a thing, it could be a whole thing, but since it has never been a thing...

What does have a measurable impact is supply management. Artificially constraining the number of workers allowed to work in a profession does boost incomes where sufficient demand is found. Think doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. And teachers (here) are also a prime example of exactly that. The government sets quotas for how many new teachers are allowed to teach. You could be the best teacher in the world, but if you aren't among the chosen few, you cannot legally take on the job.

Because such quota oversight is often administered through colleges and universities, you do find some conflation out there. But you can just as easily maintain a quota system outside of the school system. They are not intrinsically linked. We have examples of that as well.
And in very limited geographic areas you can use Apple's devices for testing

> Next month, Apple will open developer labs in Cupertino, London, Munich, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo to provide developers with hands-on experience to test their apps on Apple Vision Pro hardware and get support from Apple engineers.

Wonder what those dev kits cost and how available they'll be. Apple probably doesn't anyone getting their hands on the early hardware/software using it for reviews before it's released.

Presumably you return it after release and get the money rolled over toward purchasing a production unit.

"The company has made a calculated decision not to implement adequate worker protections because Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder, and you, his successor as Chief Executive Officer, have created a corporate culture that treats workers as disposable."

This is spot on. So much news coverage has shown how awful the working conditions at Amazon are, both in the warehouses and in the headquarters.

Amazon's "customer centricity" is built on the backs of employees who are pushed to the limit and treated like human robots.

Their worker turnover numbers and reputation are due to how they run their business:

Last time I tried this, the fully-custom rendering with all of the custom UI, and the horrible text rendering forced me to not use the app. Honestly, using the app shows a lot on how much the Rust GUI scene is not a matured state.

There is a long history of various kinds of "information inbreeding" in AI and data analysis: the tendency of some inexperienced researchers to overfit their regression models, using bootstrapping methods to expand small data samples, etc.

Hey, it's time to stop the war.

I give out food, hygiene kits and money to homeless communities (predominately men). I stop and tell them where to access warming shelters and provide information on groups where they can find case workers to secure jobs and housing. I tell people it's safe to talk about saving men, that it does not make you a radical or an enemy of women. I try to give people hope by showing that you can save freezing men and still care about everybody, that they aren't opposites. It is time we give up abstract fictitious mainstream war philosophies so we can be effective.

>Yes, we do. It's just that _some_ people like to pretend we don't understand them

I generally enjoy your comments on AI even though I usually disagree with your takes. But this is just preposterous. When people use the term understand they mean in the sense of mechanistic understanding of how features of the trained network result in features of the output. This means being able to predict (and potentially set strong bounds on) the behavior of the system in the wide range of scenarios it will encounter. We are nowhere near this level of insight into how these systems construct their output.

I doubt I'm telling you anything you didn't already know here, so your comment is extremely puzzling.
