Whether you like the textures has nothing to do with whether the graphics library is any good.
Linux servers generally aren't being used interactively though and expose a fairly limited attack surface to the internet, and so I feel like the value in Linux server exploits is more in the openssl/Apache/etc vulnerabilities
My only real complaint: My eyesight isn't good enough to play on the built-in screen, and using USB-C to connect to a monitor leads to an overly fragile connection when you're using gyro control and just in general moving the "controller" a lot. Often the cable "logically unplugs" for a second.

I fear my Deck's USB-C connector is going to fail in a year, and think I need to use an external controller to let the Deck sit stationary on a desk. I wish there was a sturdier hardware connector.
At roughly the same rate. The problem is far more people were hurt by used car prices than those of us fortunately well off enough to buy new cars.
Windows Update Blocker works as a nuclear option to disable all updates.
Of course competitors already knew that.

But this is not the difficult bit in building a competitor. The difficult bit is to make people switch en masse.

really unfortunate how easy it is to channel fud.

for instance, the "can release" weasel words here - technically correct, but also misleading.

it is not the case that all changes you see in plastics are because they're releasing nasty (((chemicals))) into the environment. it is routine to engineer plastics to meet arbitrary emission/contamination standards. different kinds of plastics also require different (or no) such additives. mostly, people are thinking of PVC when they worry about this.
If by local you mean local to a cloud instance that runs automated builds on every merge for specific branches, then yes.

Granted, those build instance pull from the central git repo, and are triggered from GitLab... so also, no.

Sure, but the point is that EV can be the main focus and ICE can be the 'legacy propulsion' division.
Even in that setting there's no need for ICE R&D. Just leave the last production line running to eternity.

Meanwhile the rest of the company is free to do the switch.

Hi, thanks for the feedback, let's take a look:

> I guess it's implied that people only travel between rooms on 15-minute boundaries, or something?

Yes

> And maybe it's implied that the murderer always lies and the non-murderers don't?

Right now, clues are always true, but the murderer will omit saying something very incriminating. But since the website is a prototype, this will most likely change in the near future (e.g. murders can lie, but the other suspects will always tell the truth).

> I dunno. The clues are really confusing without understanding the meta-rules behind them, which don't seem to be written down.

I think you are right, the website needs better (and more) explanation, as well as an expanded tutorial.
Having to do a lot of your own switching at the implementation level seems annoying, I'm surprised there isn't a more simple API on top of that to give you the correct impl directly.
I’ve had good luck with Xubuntu on a couple older machines so far but I’m not trying to run it on anything modern. My experience trying to do desktop Linux on a recent machine is quite old so maybe things are different.

That advice makes sense if we're talking about 800B+ parameter models that require a gigantic investment of capital and time. For models that fit on a consumer GPU you're leaving chips on the table to not take advantage of training / fine-tuning. It's just too easy and powerful not to.
Mostly the same, except I don’t feel like an idiot for not getting it. I thought it was self-indulgent and too clever by half. But I admit that’s just taste and not a measure of its objective worth.

I have a theory about _why’s popularity though. I think a lot of it comes from the cohort of us who were strictly trained in a C/Fortran/Knuth Art of Computer Programming style old-school approach. When your first presented with the mind blowing ideas of what programming can be when you start to liberate yourself from the machine — if the source has a quirky voice, there always remains a soft spot in your heart for them, be it the Little Schemer, SICP or _why.
Another cheeky comment from Meta devs: The location for pytorch's git repo is listed as "where the eigens are valued" : ^)
I'm not sure what the situation is like now concerning prejudice towards trans people in the US, but looking from the outside, I'm aware of the incredible amount of bad faith coming from medical and activist organisations from within the US.

For instance, any legitimate discussion or criticism about gender-affirming care, possible social cause that's driving the increase of trans-identifying teenagers (confounded by high rates of autism, mental illness, trauma), or how certain trans rights infringes on women's rights, are framed as "transphobic" by these medical and activist organisation. This would also mean that statements made by countries that are arguably more progressive than the US (i.e. UK and European countries) about the current trans issue would fall into that category as well.

Now, against the backdrop of the capture of cultural institutions by radical activists in the US who share a common foundation (critical social justice), it's hard to be sympathetic towards your claim that prejudice is what's holding them back, when the actions of the medical and activist organisations in the US is consistent with the silencing of valid criticism that other factions of the critical social justice adherents (i.e. race) have a track record of.

In other words, it's hard to believe that the medical and activist organisations in the US are actually acting in good faith; they are weaponising our empathy for marginalised groups to silence legitimate criticisms about a medical scandal and the ideological foundations driving the scandal.

Edit:
Anyone of sound mind can clearly evaluate that my point isn't transphobic. The reply to this comment is a demonstration of what's wrong with the US.

I agree a greater variety of clue types would make it more interesting.

And then maybe each clue you reveal increases the chances of some failure outcome (e.g. murderer escapes, kills again, etc)? That would definitely prompt more caution and strategic thinking before revealing the next clue.
As an adaptation, it seems very interesting. As a translation, it seems absurd.
Because all those developments that result in increased productivity get turned into increased profits for individual companies, not in higher wages or reduced hours for workers.

A possibly illustrative example:

A year or three ago, my uncle (mid-50s, telco IT manager, started on a Commodore in the 80s) decided he'd try Mint instead of upgrading from Windows 7. He got it installed and running, and decided he wanted to burn an audio CD.

His install of Mint didn't come with any application to accomplish this. He got something recommended installed easily enough, but it only supported FLAC, not his MP3s. So he removed that and got some different CD burning software that did support his MP3s, but was set to Finnish by default. He got enough Finnish translated to get it changed to English, and then ran into some sort of driver/support issue for his particular CD burner.

At that point, he did the free upgrade to Windows 10 and then burned his CD in less total time than he'd spent not burning a CD via Mint.
it has zero effect on me as a user tbh
This is delightful -- a piece of comment-performance-art!

To any confused readers, consider the second paragraph in the context of the first.
That’s true in the Us, too, from what I understand.
I think we need something like a canary signal to mark reviews, posts, etc that you are forced to make, not expressing your opinion.

Something innocent-looking, like a double question mark, or a double exclamation.
Funny, other people are complaining that they aren't censoring "transphobic" posts.
Uhm, interesting, but I cannot find any examples of these story/puzzles. Do you know where I can take a look to them?
Every now and then I go through a period where to recover from work I grab something quick to eat and spend the rest of my night lying about in bed – Like you know it's bad if you can't even stomach sitting up at your desk. One day I came across Symphony of the Night for less than a fiver on the Google Play Store, thought why not, and after connecting a controller to my phone it instantly became one of my favourite games.
Neural computing without action potents is commonplace. Computational interactions among cells and neurons in retina are almost all graded potentials that modulate transmitter release or conductances through gap junctions. Retinal ganglion cells of course do generate conventional spikes—to pass a data summary to midbrain. hypothalamus, and dorsal thalamus.

Action potential are almost strictly INTRAcellular events (minor exception being ephaptic effects) that are converted in a surprisingly noisy way into presynaptic transmitter release and variable postsynaptic changes in conductances.

Action potential are a clever kludge necessitated by being big and having long axons and needing to act quickly.
I would imagine this is only true to a certain point.

Like, I would not be surprised if there were issues trying to run an AGP or PCI video card.

There's probably a sweet spot where some hardware is old enough to have had all the major bugs worked out, but not so old that nobody bothers developing and testing it anymore.
I also noticed degradation in quality of GPT-4. I assume it's because they keep doing RLHF to censor GPT-4 in certain ways to avoid legal hassles and this bleeds into it's quality in general.

The name for this is over-licensure and yeah, there kind of is a large barrier.
I get it. less diversity of thought means more echo chambers. you're saying that fundamentally these platforms will fail to be the town squares they want to be by doing that. and I'm saying that most people do not want a town square, they just want a dinner party without the village idiots.

I believe his point was that if one were to try and emulate Norway's economic model, it would come packaged with exporting massive amounts of oil for the rest of the world to burn — because that is currently how their economy works.
I had multiple people pitch in for it because I wanted it that badly. Definitely dreamed for it until I finally got it.
yes! I was using GPT-4 as a citation engine for a bit by pasting in text and requesting related citations. The accuracy rate of 3/4 was good enough that it was still saving me hours reading irrelevant material, particularly as validating the non-existence of 25% of citations was a trivial activity.
These EU regulations do not apply when a delay or cancellation is due to the weather.

Angle is ultimately a OpenGL|ES implementation on top of other APIs since webgl is pretty close to GLES, but desktops don't typically implement GLES.

This (IGL) is more a layer sitting on top between your app and the system provides API since pretty much every system has a different blessed API these days: Browser:WebGL/WebGPU, Windows:DirectX/Vulkan, Mac:Metal, Linux/Android:Vulkan, Consoles: Proprietary APIs like NVN/GNM/AGC/DX12 with a lot of extensions.

Just about every major cross platform 3D graphics app/engine has a layer like IGL, this just seems to be an attempt to make Meta's a standard.
Correlation or causation? To become a tech exec you have to be looking at a few million dollars in the bank, making probably 500k-1 million per year and decide "you know what, this is not enough money. I am willing to trade more of my time, relationships, physical and mental health, and life energy for even more money".

This unhealthy (in my opinion) line of thinking is probably correlated with other unhealthy lines of thinking. Such as drinking and taking pain killers.

I should stay away from this, but statistically most people die with their vision good enough to not need app accessibility feature. Specifically 0.1% of people aged 55-64 are blind and 3.9% of people aged 85 or older are blind or significantly visually impaired. Meaning over 96% of people pass away seeing.

I don't agree with OP, but I also don't agree with overdramatizing the problem at the expense of facts. There are dozens of millions of people worldwide who deserve accessibility app support of a major platform, like Facebook or Instagram, but lo and behold, Facebook and Instagram do support vision accessibility.

Threads, meanwhile... launched 2 days ago. They're not a major platform yet. They're only starting, and they'll be adding accessibility features in time.
I assume the M1's SIMD registers are wider/more numerous than just the couple of size_t registers used for the loading/masking/accumulating inner loop in your run_swtches().

You can speedup the code by unrolling your inner loop a few times (try 4x or 8x) - it does mean that your overflow prevention limit is lowered (to a multiple of the unrolled grouping number) and run a few more times. But the speedup offsets the increased bookkeeping.

A version I played with showed increased speed by saving the in-progress accumulation in an array and then doing the final accumulation after the main loop is done. But that may be due to the CPU arch/compiler I'm using.
Mandated breaks being what they are, you are going to find it hard to codify it in such a way that fits all locales, ultimately. Some routes will just take more power, for reasons.

Then, later, they would find that the newer batteries actually can get by with smaller breaks. Or other efficiency gains that we just aren't thinking about.

My point wasn't that it would fail immediately, but it would eventually.

For an intermediate library, it doesn't actually seem to be very much backend-independent. At least the desktop sample [1] has a disappointing amount of code paths with parallel implementations for OpenGL and Vulkan, switched at compile time using "#if USE_OPENGL_BACKEND".

I guess this means that this sample will use OpenGL rather than Metal on macOS? They claim there's a Metal backend, but how would one enable that for the "Tiny" sample? By manually adding a third parallel implementation with "#elif USE_METAL_BACKEND" everywhere?

Ok. I get that. Agree with that.

There is definitely a problem with splitting hairs on finer and finer points, until everyone is subdivided, until each individual has their own religion, their own morality. No two people are identical, and it is also impossible to force or convince everyone to be identical, thus there is always something different to disagree on.

So all arguments on religion are really fruitless.

I guess I come back to, how to get to a best common good. And in todays US, there is such a wide split between people, that there is also a wide range of things where there could be compromise to have a better society. Every difference is a chance to find a solution.

So how do we get to commonalities if kids are indoctrinated (brain washed) from an early age.
Religion blocks progress, because if someone truly believes in their god, then they wont compromise. Then there are religious wars, persecutions, inquisitions, etc... And sadly, the US is moving that way with the blurring of the split between state and church.

We don't have to agree on all points of religion to make progress, we just have to agree to some basics like maybe treat everyone equally, don't beat up trans kids. Religion should be taught in the home, not in the schools. There should be a lot of room to come together before we get to an impasse.

The 'left' is trying to do good, make things better, 'to progress', and they are clueless that the 'right' is actually in a Holy War without compromises where anything goes. It's an un-even fight. This country went to the moon, I never in a million years thought we could backslide into religious dogmatism. So, all of this arguing in this thread that religious schools are ok, is really not looking at history.
I always understood that saying more like: "you can't put the genie back in the bottle"

There's no question it was possible, but the previous generation consoles provided powerful hardware sprite/tile-based engines with layers, smooth parallax scrolling, '2.5D' transformations and more. N64 has none of that, and as far as I know the SDK didn't include anything like a software 2D engine either. If you wanted to make a 2D game, you'd have to implement your own 2D rendering pipeline more or less from scratch. I also think the N64's relatively low memory bandwidth and low amount of RAM would have been an issue to get past for a software compositor.

So yeah, it does provide access to the framebuffer, and has a reasonably capable CPU - more or less like PCs of the time did, so of course it's a 'perfectly capable 2D platform' but in this era I don't think we were quite at the point where brute-forcing the graphics pipeline in software was 'easy', and the 2D hardware capabilities were... let's say 'not exploited' by Nintendo's SDK.

It wasn't preventing anyone from producing 2D games, obviously good games could be made, it was just definitely not optimized for that, and that just put more pressure towards 3D, that already had a lot of cultural pressure towards it. If the culture was there, I'm sure developers would have hacked away at it and developed it into a strong 2D platform, but without that it was a barrier.
There are a lot of parallel actions that need to occur. Many many landlords will need to be forced by statute to provide charging facilities. For the many who only have street parking, their mobility and therefore economic productivity will be a problem unless the city and regional transportation dynamics also change. I don't see every lamppost becoming a charger, and there are more parking places than streetlights anyway.
More likely that people have found better (often open source) frontends that interface with the OpenAI API, other commercial LLMs, or any of the excellent self hosted models via something like LocalAI. I know that is the case for me.

This is normal. It isn't about the permits as much as the banks. The banks like to know that many of the lots are sold before lending you money to start putting in the roads: it ensures that much of the loan will be paid off. In turn the builders buying those lots like to have some of the lots sold.

Municipalities generally will approve this as they will get the tax money from the development. (and frankly they shouldn't generally have the power to stop development in their limits - YIMBY and all that)
bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 7 years iirc. that's a long time to get denied (or approved with terrible terms) for credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, etc.

if you have a reasonable student loan balance and a solid job offer (maybe you got a stem degree from a public university), it would still be much better to make payments and have access to other credit.
