I wrote a moderately popular Delaunay/Voronoi library for Unity a few years back [1] with a neat little demo video [2]. I implemented the incremental Bowyer-Watson algorithm for generating the triangulations, and then took the dual to generate the Voronoi tesselation (I also added a "clipper" that clips the voronoi diagram to a convex outline, which was fun, I haven't seen that anywhere else before and had to figure out how to do it myself).

Bowyer-Watson (which is described in this article) seems very simple to implement when you start: just start with a "big triangle" and then add points iteratively to it, and perform the flips you need to do. To do it performant, you have to build up a tree structure as you go, but it's not very tricky.

However: almost every description (including on Wikipedia) and implementation of Bowyer-Watson I could find was wrong. There's an incredibly subtle and hard to deal with issue with the algorithm, which is the initial "big triangle". Most people who implement it (and indeed I did the same initally) just make the triangle big enough to contain all the points, but that's not enough: it needs to be big enough to contain all the points in all the circumcircles of the triangles. These circumcircles can get ENORMOUS: in the limit of three points on a line, it's an infinite half-plane. Even if they aren't literally collinear, just close, the triangle becomes way to huge to deal with.

The answer is that you have to put the points "at infinity", which is a very weird concept. Basically, you have to have special rules for these points when doing comparisons, it's really tricky and very hard to get right.

If I were doing this again, I wouldn't use Bowyer-Watson, this subtlety is too tricky and hard to get right. Fortune's sweep-line is more complex on the surface, but that's the one I would go with. Or the 3D convex hull technique (which I also wrote a library for, by the way [3]).

Not at all ridiculous. RISC-V is inevitable.

because due to multiple decades of bad lobbying seriously messing up regulations related to cars and trains in such a manifold multi layered an sometimes well hidden ways that it's basically impossible to build proper public transportation in many (not all) areas of the US

this lead to a situation where a lot of well meant public transport projects had very underwhelming results

worse if how in many areas trains just don't integrate well with the surrounding in the US. For public transportation to be usable it needs to be reachable. This means reliable and save walkways and/or bicycle ways to the next bus/train station (and having the schedule of trains and busses synced up even if they are from different providers). It also means you shouldn't have a massive parking lot directly in the front of the train station (don't mean there can't be a parking lot, just not in front) and similar

Another problem is the approach to housing the US has, for public transportation to work well (especially wrt. cost) you need to have reasonable compact housing. For example in many EU citices where public transportation is the main transport factors the main used housing unit is a apartment block often something like 2-4 apartments per floor and 3-5 floors where even in the more rural close by city areas houses often have 2 or 3 apartments or if not are in general much smaller then housing in the US (but in many rural areas in the EU cars are the main transport mean, often followed by bicycles for "short trips to "close by" neighbors, restaurants etc.).

If you combine that with the fact or how convenient privileged cars are in the US it really strongly favors self driving cars in many places (except some of the quite compact city centers, where cars of any form are a curse and self driving cars won't fix that).

Even the CPU is worse than Snapdragon X by a lot, it can connect 3 displays altogether (2K+2K+4K) and have greate battery life.

The european commission is elected, just indirectly. It is proposed by the european council, and the european parliement says yes or no.

Saying that indirect elections are undemocratic is like saying Switzerland is not a "liberal democracy" because its federal council is elected by the federal assembly instead by direct popular vote.
I think you and I mostly agree here.

My point is that the EU commission is bad, its a shitty system that doesn't work well and needs to be reformed. Pointing at the EU as a whole and saying things like "The EU was caught..." lets the commission (and this commissioner) off the hook.

If we clearly say that the EU parliament works pretty well, and the commission doesn't then its obvious what needs reforming. If you just point at the EU as a whole then the problem looks impossible.

By the way I am no longer a citizen of a country in the EU, I'm from the UK (although I happen to live in the EU currently).

The AVs do not work well in the edge cases - exactly in those situations where humans can apply common sense and behave accordingly. Exactly the cases that sceptics seemed to be worried about, and it turns out that the sceptics were right.

Out of morbid curiosity, why do you arrive at the conclusion that the writing of a person should significantly depart from that of their regular speech patterns? I mean, to be candid, that actually is the case for me in a much different way that isn't relevant in this context and I don't care to discuss but you couldn't be more incorrect and inscrutably so with regard to this context.

If I'm being glib, I would say that's a sign of mental illness where there's not a code-switching economic/practical basis for doing so [hmm emoticon]
But religion is not just ideas either. You may have a very nicely written AI-generated "bible" but does this kind of idea gain traction solely on its textual merits? I think it's rather complicated.

Certainly if your religion captures the leadership of a large Mediterranean empire, that would help. But does that idea win because it's a good idea? Very hard to say. It took a long time to capture Rome, and it's not clear that this is simply because St Paul and co had better ideas.
I remember I have started using MESS (because I care more about computers than games) before the merge. One thing I notice in many drivers (the "plugboards" where various emulator parts are connected) is that they could, with some work, be compiled to some HDL.

python3 in 2008 was practically unusable.
It was incompatible, none of the libraries on pypi supported it; and it was extremely hard to write a code base that was compatible with both python2.6 and python3.0 at the same time, so almost none of the library authors bothered to add python3 support.

In 2010, python2.7 was released, backporting a bunch of python3 features.
In 2012, python3.3 was released, fixing a bunch of needless incompatibilities. This finally made it viable to support both 2.7 and 3.3 in the same code base. For the most part, the migration of the Python library ecosystem only started in/after 2012.

python3 wasn't really a viable choice for application development until most libraries were ported (2014? 2015?).

> Whatever solves Jerusalem and Hebron is what the eventual solution should look like too

Hebron shouldn't be a problem. The Jews living there are nuts, the worst of the worse.

Yes. That's pretty much the same as an endorsement when faced with stuff like this...

> latch on to anything that's pro-Palestine as pro-Hamas and framing almost any support for their cause as antisemitism.

This is annoying to me too. It does a disservice to their claim. Like equivocating anti-occupation with anti-Israel or worse antisemitism. That's stupid.

I think that in the past few weeks a lot of people who would normally not say such things became overly triggered. So I'd take it in that context. A lot of people who would normally be very responsive to the plight of the Palestinian people just don't want to hear that at this moment. Having seen the celebrations and the comments online after October 7th, lots of moderate Israelis shifted to the right as a result of that.

> Biden's initial remarks and actions were overwhelmingly one-sided.

Yes. This was also a one sided issue. The history isn't new and his support for a 2 state solution has been well documented. So has his disdain for Netanyahu and his lies.

Biden filled in a leadership vacuum. He was widely hated by the right wing in Israel and in one speech he flipped that completely. The aircraft carriers he placed on the shores serve two purposes. One is indeed to deter Iran. But the more subtle one is to remind Israel of US power. He uses it to pull the strings in the cabinet. He and his people actually sit in on security cabinet meetings to form a strategy and make sure Israel doesn't do anything stupid or evil.

He was discussing the problems and trauma of Mosul. There's serious concern that the Israeli army would just go into Gaza with no real plan and turn it into something similar.

> equating this war as war against ISIS isn't going to convince anyone in the Muslim world

I think this is aimed mostly at the west. Probably the aim for the Muslim world is to connect Hamas and Iran. There are many hints that Iran is pulling the strings with Hamas as it did with Syria and Lebanon.

> Appreciate Biden for this, but 6000+ bombs and the ongoing siege isn't exactly moderation.

The claim is that once the ground troops go in the number of civilian casualties will be MUCH higher.

> doing nothing might have won Israel world's empathy

The problem is that Israel maintained peace through fear of its mighty army. Yes, there are peace treaties but the Muslim Brotherhood is a step away from the throne of Egypt. The region can flip. Empathy doesn't help in this regard, Israel is perceived as weak and this projects on the USA as well.

India is in a very different situation. It's the most populous country on earth, even though they have issues with China and Pakistan they have no actual existential fear. Also, having been to India quite a bit... They are turning into a police state over there. Not a great place to be in anymore.
To provide some anecdata. I started running again a few years ago (I'm late 30s now but used to run competitively when I was younger). Before I started, my Oura ring tracked resting heart rate while sleeping at an average of 55 bpm. After 2 years of doing an average of 60km a week (mostly aerobic work), my resting heart rate averages at 39 bpm. I guess the difference is because the heart chambers are now larger - the structure of the heart has significantly changed.

Only after a couple of weeks of running about 20km, did I start seeing my resting heart rate drop to the high 40s. After that, it gradually lowered over the next 18 months or so.

Furthermore, an article about a study back in 2008 [1]:

> At the end of the 90-day study period, both groups had significant overall increases in the size of their hearts. For endurance athletes, the left and right ventricles — the chambers that send blood into the aorta and to the lungs, respectively — expanded. In contrast, the heart muscle of the strength athletes tended to thicken, a phenomenon that appeared to be confined to the left ventricle. The most significant functional differences related to the relaxation of the heart muscle between beats — which increased in the endurance athletes but decreased in strength athletes, while still remaining within normal ranges.

> “We were quite surprised by both the magnitude of changes over a relatively short period and by how great the differences were between the two groups of athletes,” Baggish says. “The functional differences raise questions about the potential impact of long-term training, which should be followed up in future studies.”

Same here in Poland. I got used to skipping the diacritics, and quickly learned to mentally decode text that was rendered with the wrong code page.

And maybe this is a form of Stockholm syndrome, but to this day, I don't really mind sticking to lower ASCII - it just makes things easier (or at least until recently it did), and I don't really care about that '³' in my surname. Sorry, I meant 'ł'.

Possibly related to that:

- I always stick to US English language when using software, even if it offers Polish, because I don't trust translations. They're usually done by people who don't have enough context and knowledge to do it right. I've been burned too many times by this. Plus, localized error messages hinder searching for solutions.

- I wouldn't mind if everyone switched to English[0] as first language and called it a day; there would be tremendous economic and social benefits from that to everyone, far outweighing the loss of a little bit of cultural variety/noise.

- I'm strongly in favor of meeting machines half-way. LLMs aside, it's trivial for people to learn a small controlled vocabulary here and there (like e.g. "OR" and "AND" and quotes in search queries), allowing to make interfaces vastly more predictable, reliable and comprehensible.

Amazing. No notes.
I don't think the examples given by the author are good ones (although I don't entirely reject the conclusion).

Doing what is essentially advanced computer vision is a very different type of problem from decoding Linear A.

The Herculaneum Scrolls are a case where we have a relatively self-contained source of information and we "just" need technical skills, which historians probably lack, to extract it.

Deciphering Linear A or the Indus Valley script is a case where the information is simply not available in any given artifact (or any set of artifacts that someone can study in a short period). No amount of technical prowess or brilliance from an "outsider" is gonna magically add that information.

The only way you can hope to unravel that mystery is with deep expertise in the archaeologal and linguistic CONTEXT. That takes years or decades to build up. Which irequires exactly the opposite kind of funding: stable employment in an opportunity-rich environment. Not a one-off prize.

Not necessarily. The heart is autonomous but is nevertheless connected to the central nervous system and can be controlled by the brain to some extent. It could be the same for the pulmonary system.
By the way, you can hold your breath for some time, and some people with extreme willpower can do it until passing out, but you can't do it until dying, there are reflexes hard-wired deep into the brain preventing that.
Sure, don't trust them, but at least see it's very possible, and that not being punished in that case wouldn't really be different from normal drivers.
