Stepping back, is this simply pointing out that Rule 34 also applies to scientific research? If a claim can be made, there is a scientific study that "proves" the claim true.

If someone came to me with some outlandish claim, "Studies show that singing in the shower lowers cancer risk," I honestly won't be surprised if they could produce 2-4 white papers published in modern journals in support of it. So much of modern science seems to be reading between the lines and meta-analyses of scientific studies.

Scott Alexander's review of Ivermectin[0] is a great example of this. Bold claim is made, everyone divides into two camps, and in fact both camps have multiple peer reviewed studies backing their side, and to arrive at some semblance of understanding of the topic you need to spend hours diving into the studies and checking off boxes: were they peer reviewed, were there confounders, do the authors have a history of fraud, and on and on and on.

No, it can indeed be vastly simpler to handle auth.
But you have to consider many complex aspects to provide a simple solution:

- What are your real use cases (authentication, authorization, delegation?)

- What is your threat model? (avoiding silly mistakes, preventing corporate espionage, defending against targeted attacks require very very different solutions)

- How to integrate into your ecosystem (tech stack, actors, layers..)

Then you might be able to remove some constraints.
You might not need authorization delegation, stateless and readable json tokens.

But often it's easier to not think too much about it and just use "an industry proven standard", and that is oauth2 and OIDC:

a large auth umbrella to avoid looking at the sun.

There's a lot of theories floating out there that OpenAI will make gpt-4-turbo free (or at least free when used via custom GPTs) so the default won't have to be 3.5-turbo (which is terrible at following system prompts and pales in quality compared to 4/turbo).

Have you actually designed a game whether inexperienced or not?

You should be documenting most type info at least at the function/method signature and data structure definition level anyway. May as well do it in the most-useful format possible.

That's because newer GPUs support newer instructions sets.

Like AVX, AVX2, AVX512, but basically a new set every year instead of every 10 years like in CPU land.

And it's not just about speed, they provide new functionality. So at some point supporting older GPUs significantly slows down those who have the newer GPUs.

The next architecture after Kepler, Pascal, added huge new capabilities, that's why nobody supports Kepler anymore, it's too limited.

If I come across a package that relies on pip, and I intend to fork it, introduce changes that might affect the requirements.txt file, and potentially submit a pull request to the original repository, I find it more straightforward to stick with pip itself. This is because Poetry, while versatile, doesn't seamlessly integrate with requirements.txt (it can be configured to work with it, but it doesn't write back to it).

In essence, I see pip as the more standardized option, given its inclusion with Python. However, I initially turned to Poetry because I prefer its commands over those of pip. What slightly disappoints me is Poetry's divergence from pip's workflow.

I appreciate your suggestion in the README! At the moment it's definitely more of a personal endeavor rather than trying to persuade anyone to use it... however, it doesn't intend to introduce anything new, it's just a CLI wrapper around standard Python tools.

A chart showing BMI vs altitude could help cut through individual bases differences. If there is a trend downward it would show a dose-response effect. I didn't find such a chart in the paper. Instead they have a chart showing how many data points were available by altitude.

But Unreal is not tooling. It’s a game engine. It has physics and rendering and audio and networking. Unreal is not a competitor.

You cannot possibly expect an LLM to be spitting out a AAA competitive engine on top of a great game built with it.

essentially that is how integrals are calculated in mathematics if i remember correctly. you take a curve and divide it into columns, the thinner the column the smaller the deviation(because the curve has round edges so your bar will have inherent error) and you simply calculate each column and then total it and you get the body/volume of the function. same principle like radians with circle. you are merely splitting the work into smaller pieces that you can process.

>> it’d be so good for consumers and make hardware last a lot longer.

Which is why hardware manufacturers will fight tooth and claw to prevent such a thing. They don't want you to keep using old hardware. They want you to keep buying new stuff. If the hardware isn't going to break, then a failure of software will do.

I don't think so. Saunas are economically available to almost everyone (where there is fuel). I grew up a yooper in Upper Michigan and saunas are a very common part of the culture and even folks without indoor plumbing (much less common now) would have wood-burning saunas in the back yard. Saunas are one of the most relaxing, and invigorating, experiences I know of.

It's smarter in the sense that it's a more elegant design that produces a result from fewer and simpler parts, not because it has a bigger brain than one with a computer in it.

The fewer & simpler parts isn't just a win for the manufacturer although all manufacturers are always striving for that.

A dumb piece of wire if it does the job, is far smarter and more valuable to the end user than something unnecessarily complex and delicate that will die from something as silly as static or a leaking cap or a fall or a spill or a hot day.

Companies produce new products with computers in them not because it's needed or better, but simply because it sells. In a capitalist environment, they must always be making something new and appealing, and it really doesn't matter what defines "new" or "appealing" at any given time.

The larger problem is that drivers are written by hardware manufacturers.

This is the perverse incentive: driver optimizations present competitive value to manufacturers, so manufacturers keep drivers secret in order to monopolize that value.

The problem is that by monopolizing their driver, the manufacturer also monopolizes the responsibility of driver creation, compatibility, security, and maintenance. This doesn't just prevent competition from other manufacturers: it prevents collaboration with anyone else.

There is nothing to incentivize a manufacturer to actually uphold the responsibility that they have monopolized. It's actually the opposite: monopolized responsibility is an opportunity to implement planned obselescence.

The purpose of copyright and patent monopoly is to incentivize knowledge sharing. In this case, the opposite is true. If we want drivers to be maintainable, then we have 2 options:

1. Require all drivers to be open source.

2. Break up the vertical integration of in-house driver development.

I vote we do both.
GNU C did it decades ago (but of course the GNU project is laced with Lisp influence).

In GNU C, if a braced compound statement is put into parentheses, it becomes an expression. The value of the last expression in the compound is implicitly returned:

// c receives 5

int c = ({ int a = 2, b = 3; a + b; })

Never mind that; the standard C macro preprocessor has "implicit return":

// not return #define max(x, y) return ((x) > ...

#define max(x, y) ((x) > (y) ? (x) : (y))

Note that the "implicit return" in Lisp is just from mathematics:

f(x, y) = x^2 - y^2

Not:

f(x, y) { return x^2 - y^2 }

the return keyword is kind of a disease/blemish, introduced by way of Blub programming languages.

"Implicit return" is like saying "face with implicit warts" in reference to a face that is perfectly smooth and never had a blemish.

In functional languages, there is only one expression which makes up the body of a function and of course that expression's value is yielded; it's the definition of the function.

Explicit return is a form of goto; it's required only in imperative programming, and even there we can leave it out for the last statement.

The C preprocessor doesn't have a return operator because it's a functional, term rewriting language. Every definition has one replacement in which there are no side effects or goto.

>> Satellites with NAV/marine radar detectors are in orbit.

Ya, they are called spy sats. For the better part of a century, very smart people have been funded by people with very deep pockets to track ships at sea that don't want to be tracked. If anyone thinks their startup sat company is going to start tracking ships with passive radar, they are entering a very very mature field.

And for anyone saying "well, our sats are going to be in lower orbit" ... that has been done too. If you ever read about satellites powered by nuclear reactors, those were low-orbit radar sats looking for ships.
