If you want an actual answer, you don't do it by yourself. I counted 50+ people credited. But if you want to start to play a part in doing it, basically just learn a lot of math. My gf is a technical director at a large animation studio and she got in by being an expert in linear algebra and spending a ton of time studying animation textbooks/tutorials/etc.

That said, the market is evaporating. Almost everything has moved ~to India~ [e: abroad] and there are barely any jobs left in USA, and those that do exist are being fought for by the many folks who have been recently laid off stateside. Sounds familiar...
During Covid a new volcano erupted quite near Grindavik, that was very tourist friendly: close to Reykjavik, not too large or dangerous, nothing it could damage nearby, a few km hiking from a road. Many web cams were setup and lots of beautiful drone footage was uploaded to YouTube as well. It erupted again 2021 and 2022. So it's a well known volcano now to the Internet public.

Now it seems there will be an eruption on the same fissure again, but a) there are many more earthquakes than before, b) the detected movement of magma is far larger, and c) it could erupt anywhere on a 15km fissure line, but right now it seems to do so right in the middle of the nearby town. So it looks like this time it will be a disaster.

There is also a geothermal power plant that heats the whole peninsula nearby, as well as tourist attraction the Blue Lagoon, that are both at risk.

Among your examples I actually think that "liberal"/"authoritarian" are mostly opposite each other. But "conservative" in its simplest form is resistance to change, so it ends up being one end of almost any political dimension. That's why in most two-party political systems you can point at one of the parties and call it "conservative". "Progressive" is also very generic and can mean very different things depending on the society, but it's generally in opposition to "conservative".
I have to disagree. I did both community college and a top ranked tech school for undergrad. I also know someone who attended some CS classes at this school but went on to get a CS degree from a mid ranked school (he was a chem engineering major first).

The difference between the CS classes at the community college and the high ranked university were night and day. If you try at a CC you'll get an A and you really have to fuck up to fail. Those classes were basically lectures, reading and tests. The curriculum at the top ranked school was far far more robust and As were hard earned. The labs, office hours and other learning I did with other people was vital.

The difference between the mid and top ranked program was mostly students. My friend said the curriculum was similar but the curves were different so the expectations were lower.

Fair or not, connections also matter. Interning for Intel was a big deal for future prospects and being at a top university put me in a better position for that. Ivy league isn't dominant in tech but they are in plenty of other fields like law.
blender has tightly integrated support for python scripting.
I had a project I started in XNA, and I was surprised at how little effort it took to migrate to Monogame. Hardest part was really switching the build process.

Just note if you wrote it in XNA 3.x, you might need a guide as the modern version is more akin to v4.

> Perhaps what makes the ruse convincing in Tutanota's case is the crappy interface and clear dearth of basic features: search basically doesn't work; it's impossible to select all messages or use shift to select pages of messages. Their excuse is that customers might accidentally delete emails, but it might make more sense that they want to retain as much data as possible: https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/nc9jxx/suggestion...

Implementing search for E2EE mailbox is difficult problem (Protonmail is not doing the same). For search to be efficient, you would need to download the whole mailbox for your device. If you want to support as many users as possible, you can't. But maybe they could make it optional.

And they are very small team, offering mail for very low price (free for most), which has resulted on using Electron for producing the applications for as many platforms as possible. And it is a mess.

What comes to that Reddit post, it is two years old and they have supported mass selection for a long while for now.
The global economy runs on energy and emitting co2. Last I checked majority of electricity is mainly produced from burning fossil fuels.
How does this compare to current generation MacBook cameras and microphones?
> I agree, theoretical math students and staff are a bit dismissive about everything else.

I think this does go somewhat both ways. E.g. in the current discussion there are quite a few people complaining about "useless maths". I think a big problem is that different areas of studies don't appreciate that they are, well, different, and it's not trivial to transfer ideas across fields.

> Just read a bit about how Einstein came up general relativity

Also an interesting story about special relativity: Minkowski (Einstein's math professor) proposed very early on to Einstein that special relativity should be formulated geometrically (with what's now called Minkowski spaces), but Einstein deemed it too mathy and unintuitive, only to accept later that it was the right way to go. Without the geometric formulation it's very possible Einstein wouldn't have developed general relativity later on.

> But the usefulness and practicality of it only clicked after I moved to higher frequency problems and started using frequency domain when working with my circuits.

One argument for teaching FT more abstractly is that the "useful parts" are quite different in different fields. E.g. in many applications of sound and acoustics (and probably in EE) the main interest is in the spectrum. But in e.g. statistics the main thing is the convolution theorem and the spectrum has practically no use.
> No, the US wrestles with these problems because we prefer to wrestle with them instead of sweeping them under the rug and hoping that "government" will somehow solve them without we the people having to get involved.

There's this fascinating concept called res publica that means that the public (you, the people) are supposed to do this "government" thing. I've been told you've actually got some of it in the US. Of course, it's entirely possible that what you have is so dysfunctional that the demos have entirely given up their right and responsibility in running the place, but I don't think that's actually true.

While you'll always have a special place in my heart for beta testing the modern version, some of you haven't let that develop into a chauvinism that prevents one from seeing good things elsewhere that might be applicable at home (or for that matter, good things at home which might be applicable elsewhere, because home is completely and utterly incomparable in every way, and one needs not ever even bother finding out) and that's certainly better governance than trying the same thing over and over again, and somehow expecting better results.
> I'm happy to smalltalk with strangers, but I use the machines as I hate ambiguity.

Yeah, I admire the patience of people who have the energy/patience/motivation to overcome misunderstanding with other people.

I also dislike all sorts of ML/AI/algo features for similar reasons, when it pretends to be a machine but is vague like human (or worse) it's the worst.

That has image consequences, making them look too expensive for more people compared to the competition. It isn't as simple as “the price the market will bear right now”, they have to consider the longer term effects of putting people off.

The obvious answer to that is of course “then just make more, if there is enough to go around the scalpers won't make any/enough profit” but that has its own problems: the production processes are not yet scaling that way, perhaps due to quality issues caused by trying to speed up, perhaps due to limited amounts of specialist production-line equipment for the affected models, perhaps due to issues getting enough raw materials at a faster rate for the “right price”, perhaps a mix of all of the above (plus a little intentional generation of artificial product scarcity in the market).

Assuming I'm right about process (and material sourcing) scaling issues being a significant part of the problem, charging more because the existence of scalpers indicates that (at the current production levels) they can would be like [artist of the moment] charging much more per place at concerts, or the events like the London Marathon charging double/triple/more for the base entry price instead of using a balloted entry system. They can't simply make more places available, and the two-tier system (the haves can have, the have-nots can't afford) resulting from higher prices would cause image souring and affect future interest & sales (and for those that genuinely care about the art/atmosphere/event at least as much as the money, may offend the economic morals of the artist/organisers too). The target end result is to be a mass production vehicle, not a low volume collectors item.
not sure if this fits here, but just today the thought occurred to me that depression may be related to expectations i have of myself but also what others expect of me. by avoiding pressure from others and not expecting to much myself but without considering that a failure, or by not blaming myself if things don't work out, in other words, avoiding things that would lower my self confidence, may be a way to avoid depression.

i have never tried NaNoWriMo, but if i did, i'd look at my situation and realize that i would not get much done, but for me that would not be a failure, because i wouldn't even go in with the expectation that i should be able to change that. on other words, i would not even have the hope that it would go well. instead it would be the realization that without participating i'd write nothing. by participating i'd write something, and so i may consider that a (small) success.
PR is all that is left when government is leaning into the destruction of your business and its harmful externalities (heat pump subsidies). Electric resistive heat is inefficient, heat pumps are not.
While I tend to assume the vast majority of privacy is either imagined or a façade, I also have a deep enough distrust of authority that when I see such a claim made by a government, or government official, I'm inclined to believe it's a ploy to discredit someone that won't cooperate with them.

Oh, does it means that it's moving back to wgpu after its earlier switch to OpenGL? Does it means that the problems that were encountered earlier with wgpu has been resolved?
What's intelligence though? GOFAI (level 1) is just logic and search, which are properties of modern optimizing compilers as well.

Even Deep Blue (level 4) is just logic and search.
In Halo Master Chief Collection, viewing any of the video terminals that are scattered throughout the game world would boot you out of the game over to some stupid app you had to download. When I first came across this I was already mad, but the kicker was that the app would stream the video, these gorgeous, meticulously crafted and headline featured videos, over HLS and the first few dozen seconds of video were always blocky, blurry messes because my internet at the time was rather slow. No option to download all of the videos ahead of time. No option to force video quality to some higher resolution. Just a big blurry mess. So, I skipped that entire feature of the game and figured I'd have to watch them on YouTube later, where I could force it into 1080p and let it buffer a bit.

More annoying even now are the constant "Hey moron, is your video stuttering? Try lowering the quality!" 4head tapping messages I see on Twitch or YouTube when their CDN is taking a shit. I pay good money for 1G/1G symmetric, my PC is 6 feet from my wireless AP. If you can't feed me 6Mbps of live stream at me without stuttering I don't think it's a me problem.

If MoQ means an end to or improvement that terrible ABR experience, it can't come quic enough.
I do not, but thank you for bringing it up. The free extensibility of the core software is related to its Python integration and a major part of Blender's current success. Some essential add-ons have even become part of that core software over time.

It would definitely be nice to know more about that history, though.
You may want to consider waiting a few more minutes to get news from reliable sources.

Comment you're replying to was noting the difference between price-to-consumer and cost-to-planet.
Blender can be controlled using Python, so yes.
Ah, you wrote unclearly, it sounded like you were asserting that no system was an LLM rather than no driving system.

So while your claim is still false, I will accept that it isn't tautologically so.

Likewise, I am demonstrating that the actual definition you're using here is poor due to the consequence of it ruling out Stephen Hawking, and that goal means that the reason why he couldn't do things is unimportant: you still ruled him out with your standard.

Transformer models are surprisingly capable in multiple domains, so although ChatGPT hasn't got relatively many examples of labeled motor control input/output sequences and corresponding feedback values, this was my first search result for "llm robot control": https://github.com/GT-RIPL/Awesome-LLM-Robotics (note several are mentioning specifically ChatGPT).
The employees and customers at a local convenience store have figured this out. While the customer's using the kiosk, the employee's restocking while keeping half an eye on the store. Both are freed up mentally to chat, and people in line also feel free to chat with the employee when it's not their turn because they're not interrupting anything. It's pleasant.
Rendering everything into a canvas will realistically mean total lack of accessibility features. Also you won't be able to use the DOM inspector. I don't think that would be an improvement at all. If one could work with the DOM via Wasm (plus source maps so you can still use the debugger) it might be something.

The paywall is the author's choice and anyone is free to reject creating a Medium account, no damage done on either side. OP's second objection on the other hand looks less "rejectable" than a paywall because the damage is done before you have the chance to reject it:

Medium's implicit assumption that by clicking on their link the user accepted the policies is illegal under GDPR. It doesn't give the chance to reject before being tracked.
Same. Rclone is wonderful because it supports a ton of different backends which makes it super easy to mirror. It's also got some great features like crypt where you can encrypt everything locally, thus sending the data all as ciphertext.

I sold my bitcoin recently after trying to find a practical method to use it. I paid my taxes which were about 50% from the earned amount.

In my opinion it's useless as a currency as no one uses it for anything worthwhile.

I could have converted the BTC to another crypto currency .. but I would have the same problem. How to buy something with it?
Adding spreading is neat, but curious why they chose to go the two dot route instead of three. It's been a while since I've worked in C#, so I can't remember if there are any reserved implications of three dots.
Tangentially related but I was impressed with .NET recently. I was recently tasked with tackling an extremely old and proprietary video format that embedded GPS, video, audio, and several other components. The files were huge and just a mess to understand and I eventually found an old player application that was also proprietary.

I decompiled it into C# and stripped the player aspect out of it leaving the code the peeled back the container and allowed me to export MP4 and other pieces. After getting to build into a console application on windows on .net 4 I think I decided to give it a go to upgrade it enough to compile AND run on linux. I upgraded 2x and then updated around 10-15 lines of code that no longer compiled. It was extremely easy considering there were 1000s of lines of code to parse this format. I finally got it running on linux and it only took about a day of full effort. Pretty crazy considering the code I was running was over 10 years old.
Try any other bit of social media. Some how my instagram feed (whenever I actually go to use it) is now full of silly "haha my husband is stupid he can't find anything without me" nonsense, or "lol, my wife can't drive or deal with any sort of complex social engagement like getting a car repaired".

Bland judgement based on arbitrary buckets like gender/sex seem to be the norm vs actual, thoughtful discourse.
It's buried in the article, but the 77% number seems to be based on resistance heating instead of heat pumps:

> the annual energy bill to operate a standard gas furnace/AC combination is about $633 a year. With a heat pump, she said, it would likely be $609 to $718 annually, depending on the heat pump technology chosen and its configuration.
This is a good reason to be extra skeptical, but is not itself much of an argument. Is there any evidence their analysis is materially wrong?
What is the market for this product? I can't see their being enough people who a. have a laptop without a camera/need a better camera b. are willing to lug this thing around and c. are willing to pay $200.

How is web design this bad acceptable? It's insanely slow, annoying to read and impossible to navigate.

Years ago I got to watch the last night launch of the Space Shuttle from a parking lot in a hotel some miles away. It was like watching a high-speed sunrise, and the sound followed several seconds later after the Shuttle had already gone into the clouds. It was really something the way the sound rumbled in after we'd already seen the launch.
FWIW you need to implement that yourself with basically any advanced enough toolkit. Even in HTML-land, any list widget worth it's salt is handling keystrokes itself.
The new interceptors in C# 12 look pretty wild. Will have to play around with them. Was hoping for more of a PostSharp style AOP framework, and this doesn't appear to be that.
Nations are the societies we live in, so collective action is pretty neat in my book.
Apart from the very welcome QoL features in C# 12 (collection literals, primary constructors for ordinary classes), the "Aspire" announcement is very interesting. Haven't decided yet if its a good thing or too much "magic".

Yes. I see SpaceX and think, "oh, the company owned by that jackass who wants to hurt my trans friends." It sucks.
My first glitch happens when trying to parse "computations (...) which cannot be implemented inside of black holes".

My assumption is that whatever computer is used it is falling between the event horizon and the singularity. The masses involved are the mass of black hole before the object falling into it and the mass of the object. The amount of computation that can be done is dependant on the mass of the object and the time available. The time available is some kind of product of the mass of the object and the mass of the black hole. As the object is reaching the event horizon, the event horizon expands to accommodate the object, but this expansion isn't super simple as my understanding the expansion itself progresses at a speed of light (the other side of the black hole takes time to be affected by the object falling).

It's not a historical curiosity. The decisions needed to make an architecture viable on the long term happen early on and need to be sustained as code is being developed.

A lot of that comes down to days structures used, system modules, abstractions, If that's done right, it's possible to make a good UX later.

That's very hard in modern software processes which emphasize short term spirits.
I'm a really big fan of the C1. I'm curious what the image quality is like compared to the current webcam on the M2 Air and compared to the C1. The mute switch on the cable is a great idea.

Gas costs just what the gas company asks for it, which is equal to what they think you’ll pay for it.

Equating "wants to ban abortion" with "thinks women's rights shouldn't exist" is a pretty textbook example of one of the problems with political discourse. Noncentral fallacy, conflation between "all of" and "exists" and presupposing in the definitions used that their side of the political argument is the correct one.
For me the trick to avoiding this trap is to limit usage to small areas of code, test frequently, and know its limits. I love using copilot/GPT for boilerplate stuff.
