Creating a browser-based game engine with file system access and WebGPU support is promising, but it does come with limitations. Browser-based engines may face performance bottlenecks compared to native desktop engines due to factors like limited hardware access and reliance on web technologies. They might also have restrictions on file system access for security reasons.

However, the advantage lies in accessibility and ease of distribution. For complex, resource-intensive games, native engines like Unity or Unreal may still offer superior performance and capabilities, but browser-based engines can reach a broader audience with simpler games or interactive web experiences.

I play a lot of retro games in the 16bit and 32bit era. I usually play 120hrs/month or more most of which is on original hardware and not emulators. I do not use CRTs because I've had bad luck maintaining the hardware. It's hard to find good equipment, it's expensive to ship if you find something, and it's hard to get it serviced.

I often wonder if there is room for a single CRT manufacturer in the marketplace. I would switch to CRT if I could buy new, have a warranty, and be reasonably assured I can find a replacement easily if it fails.
We used to call 16-bytes a paragraph, so the nostalgic geek in me would love to see ‘para’ catch on. I never thought I’d be slinging around whole paragraphs of memory in registers!

It does make for a good comic so I won't criticize it on that basis. I just wish we could stop with the vagueness of "make image generation safe" which is completely meaningless and instead phrase as a concrete problem like actual engineers.

Something like, "AI generated images present a difficult challenge for applications that require that sensitive content be removed (e.g. Tumblr) or hidden (e.g. Discord) due to the fact that the abstract nature of the generation can trick most digital 'eyes'. To that end we've invented new measures based on already established content warnings and created a large corpus of prompts that have semantic relationships with those warnings. We've asked our labelers to measure content in the context of those content warnings; for example, an image might be labeled "is of a sexual nature", or "is of a violent nature." These responses are summarized as the scores on Figure 1. Going forward we will be making continuous improvements to our moderation API to identify such images with higher accuracy and future models will be tuned to generate them with lower frequency. We understand that a portion of our existing user-base desires the ability to generate sensitive images specifically but it is our goal as a company to build a product that can be deployed in a wide variety of applications without the need for human supervision. At some point down the road we may look into releasing models that cater to that use-case but at present our efforts are elsewhere."

Canker sores for me happen if I'm 2-4 days of reduced sleep hours.

Supplementing lysine has been helpful in reducing canker sores over a long period of time. Cutting my incidences from 1 a month to 1 every 2-4 months. It also seems to effect how quickly it heals.
When I say "thousands coming and going" I'm talking about trying to run rqlite on, say, a network of cellphones. When people ask me about this, it usually means they have the wrong mental model of what rqlite is.

However, running it on Kubernetes should work quite well. Check out the documentation at https://rqlite.io/docs/guides/kubernetes/

>If a node dies due to, say, hardware failure, when it rejoins is it seen as a slightly out-of-date existing node since it’s part of statefulset? If so, assuming quorum is maintained, this is probably a lot easier than I was making it out to be.

Assuming I follow you, yes, this should work fine -- and exactly as you expect. I suggest you try it out, and if you don't understand what you're seeing file a ticket on GitHub, or join the rqlite Slack[1].

To me it was obvious from the start that the "Pro" part in the "Apple Vision Pro" will be dropped to deliver a "non-pro" product first without some of the features they're still working on - for example, EyeSight was not on during demos etc.

I'm interested to see how Cook will price the non-pro version.
> const does not guarantee that the memory at the location pointed to won't change

I didn't say this. I said a `const` function tells the reader that the state of an object doesn't change.

Another reader correctly pointed out that there are ways to modify the state of a `const` parameters (indirection and const cast), but I would argue that such an API is poorly-designed.

To qualify my original comment, a reader only knows a function doesn't change an object's state if the API is well-designed.
I like the cuteness of this, but it's incredibly low contrast. Can barely tell if there's text.
Technically it is fairly easy, the bigger problem is accepting you cannot apply acceleration to the camera, and this messes up all sorts of assumptions.

It is certainly nothing like as hard as game development, but for people coming from TV/movie land the whole software and interaction aspect (even just moving the head) confuses them.

If anything resolving 3D audio was the hard part, by which I mean most subject to being misunderstood. (Try explaining to a media creative type that crossfading binaural mixes of two orientations does not create a valid intermediate new binaural mix).

If we're not going back to circular slip-ring connectors that allow rotation (like TRS or DC plugs,) then the step after the +-90-reversible USB-C is a triangular one. So you only need to rotate it +-30 if you got it wrong. Now I really want a triangular connector. Like in alien-tech movies.

I wrote this because of your original comment about [William MacAskill]: "Creator of "Centre for Effective Altruism"? Longtermism? No thanks. I thought that philosophy has been debunked as a scam after the likes of Sam Bankman and others. I mean, living unethically today in order to affect future lives positively is not for me."

I'm not going to elaborate in detail about what I've already written, but your comment suggests that Sam Bankman's reputation "debunks" a book (which happens to consist of some moral philosophy, some history, and some application of the ideas to future scenarios). This is poor logic. I hope you would recognize and own this mistake.

Also, yes, I have enjoyed discussing. I have strived to not make any personal attacks, and I apologize if I'm come across as rude.
ZMQ for me fills a very specific use case of needing high-throughput, _in-process_ distributed messaging.

I think once the _in-process_ constraint is lifted -- you can install or rely on an external messaging server -- then the field becomes much wider in terms of solutions to pick from.

BTW, the way we solved for a similar HWM issue is that we decoupled the ingestion of events from the distribution of said events (with ZMQ). So one process was ingesting events and would send it to a coordinator process that would then send events to processing nodes. The coordinator would reply with it's current queue size and the ingest process would do a back-off once it reached a threshold. This allowed us to stop/start any node in the cluster in any order.

There were others (sorry Abrash and Cash) in the codebase but it was largely John. Which means his bus factor was insanely high. He was the definition of a silo of knowledge. He also used this to his advantage, knowing the company could not replace him.

I'd have an honest discussion about this wit her.

The article doesn't mention hours watched but does mention subscribers, which is the income metric the market is most interested in: "Netflix reported 1.2 million additional subscriptions in Latin America during the second quarter of this year, reversing the loss in the previous quarter and marking its best second quarter in the region since 2020."

i never really get the notion people sometimes have that consciousness arises from a specific, physically identifiable structure in the brain, where a person actually seems to have a "self", looking out of their eyes from inside their heads, and furthermore is "atomic" in that sense; it can't be split in half (because which half would the "self" be present in then?), yet there can exist no structure that produces the same output without the "they are looking out of their eyes from inside their heads" part.

"self looking outside of my head" strikes me as so completely paradoxical that explanations such as each consciousness is its own universe seem just as plausible as any other. it does not mean the person you are talking to is not conscious, just that their consciousness is playing out in a parallel copied universe.
It is increasingly out of control of the western world: most CO2 emissions are now coming from Asia - and the current trend is falling emissions in the west, more than offset by rising emissions in the rest of the world.

Some countries (China and Russia) see advantages in warming for themselves (shipping through the arctic for both, increasing agricultural land area for both).

I generated a little graph showing the trends (using Our World In Data) and wrote a few comments a while back:

My compromise between pre-built Thin Clients and SBC's was building my own Mini ITX PC. The 17x17cm form factor has just enough connectivity for the size, even PCIe.

The 2018 build came in at ~250$: Asrock J4105-ITX [1] + mini ITX case (with pico power supply included) + 2x4GB DDR4 + 128GB SSD. Runs ClearLinux and works perfectly 5 years later.

The 2024 Mini ITX build will probably feature an Intel N100, like the Asus Prime N100I-D D4-CSM [2] at around 120$ for the board itself, but I'm still looking into options.

The r6g Arm vCPUs we tried in our AWS Neptune performance testing always seemed to perform worse than the equivalent-in-price r5d.4xlarge we normally use. Unfortunately I didn't have time to really dig into what it was about our design/workload that caused the different results. I wish I could have dug deeper, especially since now there's more types of vCPU available than when we ran our tests: x2g, r6i, and x2iedn.
We've got AI for that.

What does 'really use them' mean? I use the Q2 almost daily to take a break just to view some street view images. It's a short-time passive entertainment device for me, and certainly worth the money for it. Most people own a few devices for casual use like that, like a tablet.

There are too many changes and too many moving parts.

Right? It's almost like, as adults, we shouldn't be limited by the existence of children. Like businesses should assume parents are going to keep their kids from doing things bad and let those of us who will never have children just do the things we want to do.
This is a good argument for transhumanism. People seem to have a problem with the speed of light since without FTL, unmodified humans cannot meaningfully travel interstellar distances - and pop culture entertainment has surreptitiously sold us on this, if only because otherwise the timeframes and types of bodies involved would not be "relatable" anymore for the common types of drama we consume.

> Once consciousness has been digitized, you can beam it at the speed of light to a receiver.

In principle yes, however, the energy required is still dramatic and bandwidth would probably still be a problem. It seems to me the default option would be to physically send non-aging transhumans, or virtualized/uploaded brains, or people in stasis (or a combination of these) using non-relativistic speeds.
Fwiw a lot of legal scholars have had their doubts on the virality of the GPL when it comes to dynamic linking.

The FSF takes a pretty major logical leap by considering dynamically linking a work to a GPL library to be creating a work that falls under the GPL.

Both EU and US scholars doubt that mere dynamic linking constitutes making a derivative work. (Specifically for the US, Galoob v. Nintendo ruled that a derivative work "must incorporate a portion of the copyrighted work in some form"; which obviously isn't the case with dynamic linking. - Legal scholars in the EU have come to similar conclusions when it comes to the various EU copyright directives.)

Generally speaking it's untested enough ground to kinda avoid the GPL for this usecase anyway, but the FSF's Legal FAQ presents things as fact in a way mostly only benefitting their cause.

The actual market's choice is hard to fake. It's people voting with their dollars. Don't like it, don't watch it. Don't care, watch it.

Yeah this is very common in the UK for a house to have a name rather than number, particularly in old villages.
It's not rare at all. It is just deliberate in movies/shows, not something algorithm on camera constantly fiddles with.
If someone came to me with that, I'd recommend either sticky keys, where you can just press a key and the system holds it down, or VoiceOver's "trackpad commander" which basically gives VO control of the trackpad, so the user can swipe left for the previous item, swipe right for the next, that kind of thing. Of course, you then need to turn the trackpad commander off when you type cause any little tap will be sent to VoiceOver and your focus is moved from the text field you were in, to the submit button right as you press Enter for a new line...

There's also the "numpad commander" for external keyboards with a number pad. I like this; you navigate with the 4 and 6 keys, 4 moves back and item, 6 moves forward, and there are keys to skip to the next heading and such. Of course, for hand tremors, I'd really hope one day Apple's voice control and VoiceOver work well together. Right now, it's kinda harder to do if you don't know the name of controls to click on before you get to them with VoiceOver, or if you don't have headphones, the voice output will interfere with the voice input.
Well, yeah, anti-matter is not negative matter, it's more like mirror-matter. Negative energy and negative matter probably doesn't exist in our universe. Negative matter would require an anti-photon that could in theory cause energy to be destroyed if it interacted with a regular photon.

There are four types of matter, of which two are theoretical: positive-matter, positive-anti-matter, negative-matter, negative-anti-matter. Only the first two exist in our universe as far as we know.

They did fix the screen (weren’t they 1080p before?)

However, the battery kwh number is less than the tdp kw of any of the 13th gen intel processors, so it may as well just hibernate when unplugged.

Also, I haven’t seen a reliable intel laptop for 12 years.

However, the Ryzen tdp kw is 1/2-1/4 the battery kwh, so it probably gets a few hours under heavy load.

I’d consider one, assuming the Linux taint bit is off. Do they run any of the BSD’s well?
