It's fun that there have been many approaches to interpolating rotations (geometric algebra, quaternions, even full-matrix interpolation [1]). But, after hand-optimizing the code, the final code ends up mostly the same for all approaches. The difference is in your understanding of the rules and capabilities.

From what little I know, GA seems like the most consistent and capable approach. It's unfamiliar. It's a bit much to take in getting started. But, people who clear that hurdle love it.

Alternatively, everybody uses quaternions while complaining they don't understand them and need a whole book to visualize them. (Visualizing Quaternions by Andrew J. Hanson, Steve Cunningham)

> It would be like saying that because the period of our Moons rotation is so precisely the same as period of its orbit around Earth that it always faces Earth with one side, that somebody must have put the Moon on the orbit

I don't think that's the implication though. Life on earth would not be the same without the moon's orbit to provide stable ocean current rides. I would imagine not having that would add extra complexities to establish long term growth of "life"?
Immediately before touchdown, the camera rolls slightly before we hear and see it impact. Why is that?
I worked with a guy who grew up eating elk burgers and didn't even try a cow burger until he was 18 (hmm, that sounds almost like bane). He would hunt in-season, bring the catch to a processor that took the bones and gave you back nice cuts of meat, and then used them all year. Probably saved a fair amount of money while also getting some exercise and fresh air.
I think the size of the interpreter for Vyxal should be included in the scoring, if we're going to be really consistent about this.

On the other hand, if you're going to allow plaintext to be compressed into bytecode, why not include a Huffman encoder as part of the flow? The FizzBuzz example has a string splitter in it (apparently, I haven't read ALL the docs), just to get around quoting some strings, but quotes might be less than a byte if you do them enough, etc.

Lastly, who can make the smallest Vyxal executable? Let's use Jart's excellent Acutally Portable Executable[1] format as a kicking off point. That seems like the best way to make it work for almost anyone. If not, then maybe DOS/Windows/Arm/VAX/PDP-11/Z80 categories might be needed?

A Vyxal compliance suite of tests is required to enable all of the above. Who can make it the smallest? ;-)

While Meteor Lake is likely to be the only product ever made with "Intel 4", the improved variant of "Intel 4" rebranded as "Intel 3" is expected to be launched later in this year in several kinds of server CPUs, i.e. Sierra Forrest, Granite Rapids and Granite Rapids D.

Moreover, "Intel 3" will also be used for some I/O or cache memory tiles even in some later Intel CPUs where the computing tiles will be made with denser processes like "Intel 18A".

For now, Meteor Lake with "Intel 4" is the first Intel product made with a process that has been developed after the change of CEO. It remains to be seen later this year, based on whether the planned server CPUs will be launched successfully, then by the end of the year also the first CPUs with big cores having the first new microarchitecture since 2021 (Arrow Lake, Arrow Lake S and Lunar Lake), if Pat Gelsinger has succeeded to restore Intel's competitivity.
There's probably an economic name for this, but it makes sense for non-leading companies or companies in an adjacent field to make public some secret sauce of a leading company's proprietary assets. e.g companies other than Google/Apple/MS to be funding or open-sourcing web browsers. AI models could be one of those things where we don't want one company to have most of the marbles.
What Is Sustaining Engineering?
Maybe they don't. They might live on a rocky planet further out and just use TrES-2b as a place to run their solar farm because it's extremely close to their star and (due to being uninhabited) didn't have any NIMBYs opposing large-scale construction projects.

Note how far out from the planet's orbit NASA expects the habitable zone. We aren't very good yet at finding planets that aren't huge or nearly hugging their star, so there might be planets out there.
No, it's going to be some old, rich tech nerd! (eg Alan Eustace, who broke Felix's balloon record shortly after it was set but without anywhere near as mich fanfare)
I wouldn't say I "research," but I do learn. I do that by reading books

I don't read *that* much (for reference: I read 24 books last year; this year 5, so far). Every month I have a goal of how many pages I want to read. This month it's set at 8 pages per day, but usually I go well above that, only going to 8 pages if I'm not feeling like reading that day, which is rarer and rarer.

I also stopped taking notes, it's distracting and makes reading feel like a chore and pretty unenjoyable for me, but YMMV with regards to note-taking.

If I feel like I don't understand something, I will go back and re-read that, or re-read the whole book, multiple times if I have to. By re-reading books, you pick up pieces you missed on your first or second time (or third, and so on) reading them. It's also better to read a single book 1000 times than to read 1000 books one time, something I've learned thanks to Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

Speaking of Taleb, he recommends not continuing to read a book if it gets boring to you - to be bored of a single book but not of the act-of-reading-itself-type of a deal. I think that's very smart too. I intuitively did that before I read this recommendation of his.

Did I mention you should his books? Because you should, everyone should.

Hard truth? Obviously women need to be more careful when walking alone at night; they're less able to defend themselves than men due to obvious physical differences.

This "hard truth" has been obvious and logical to mankind since the beginning.
Presidents have fairly broad powers when it comes to international issues. Domestic issues usually require an act of Congress. That would require Americans to elect enough representatives committed to privacy protection to constitute a majority in the House of Representatives and a supermajority in the Senate. Given Americans' aggregate approval of Congress hovers near the single digits, while incumbents are virtually guaranteed reelection, that's probably not going to change any time soon.
If there's no "Like" or "Share" button, no videos popping up, they probably don't recognize it as a computer at all.
Just saying that 7-Zip is great, both the compression (I use it for most of my data archival, because the higher compression ratio is worth the longer times to compress) and the software itself, pretty much what a good archival program on Windows should be like.

On other OSes, I guess I just use whatever is included with the distro, or something like PeaZip: https://peazip.github.io/

Curious to hear from RAR proponents.
Tldr: They tracked where people looked when walking at night. Women look more at the periphery, men stay more focused on the center of their vision.

Then there's some PC non-sequitur about how it's sad the world is so dangerous for women.
I remember reading a Reddit thread a while ago asking women what they would do if they became men for a day, and all the top answers were variants of "I'd walk around the neighborhood alone at night" and "I'd get on a crowded bus/train because I wouldn't be scared of getting groped". It was eye opening to see how mundane stuff I take for granted isn't quite so for half of the world.
If latency is consistent you get used to it and learn to deal with it. Improving latency would improve your quality of life, but you often won't realize it. I don't need the ssh to show the character I just typed instantly so long as the characters get there eventually in the right order. I don't need my bank's webpage to show my balance instantly. However if latency is not consistent I will notice as I've already learned how long those things "should" take.
Regulation is what makes that hard.
Despite the supposedly obvious nature of certain conventional wisdom, scientific study is still important.
I don't get from the post at all the correlation of "environmental scanning women conduct as they walk in the dark" and "Walking home at night is not the same for women". What am I missing here?

Study did not look into actual walking, but asked participants to use imagination and click on areas of interest. While the title is certainly true, this study does not support it. It's a different context.
Counterpoint, I’m not the only person showing up in this thread saying “what exactly do you mean?” So I don’t think it’s clear what the OP is actually referring to. If you know, please enlighten us.
In the US this would be true in many, many areas. It’s not true in some countries, even in some that could be classified as patriarchal, such as Japan.
Do they look around more in general & in the daytime I would wonder too.
Seems like very misleading science reporting. It relies on the wow factor of a 12mm fish producing a sound as loud as what many people would associate with a jet engine (>140db).

- Sound levels are usually assumed to be measured 1m away. For the fish, it’s measured one body length away (inverse square law applies)

- Jet engines are often measured from many meters away (again inverse square law)

- The fish’s sound is pulsed and lasts only 2.5ms, while jet engine noise is continuous.

- The frequency emitted by the fish “exceeds 20kHz”. The frequency range of a jet engine spans almost the entire range of human hearing.

- Standing next to one might startle you a bit, the other will irreversibly damage you.
Yeah, I think it would have been nicer if they used wipes or some other more obvious transition when hey cut out bits. Some of the cuts you almost don't notice tricking you into thinking things happens much faster than they really did.
It's possible for a train to go faster than cars but it's not guaranteed. for example, one of the most heavily traveled corridors is Boston to New York City travel times are:

Driving: 3 hours: 51 minutes (plus pee breaks)
Amtrak: 3 hours 55 minutes

Boston to DC you have much better tracks on the NYC to DC segment

driving: 8 hours (plus pee breaks)
Amtrak: 6 hours 45 minutes

as for a wider range of activities, only if you don't get motion sick. When I'm on a train, my only activity is staring out the window (and taking pee breaks)
I think this is conflating the two problems. (Note, I think they are the ones conflating it, not you.)

They were trying to combat bias from training that has hurt them in the past. The infamous, "all doctors are evidently white american men." To do that, they tried messing with the prompts that users gave, and this led to the craziness they are currently facing.

They would like to somehow get the best results of both situations. I don't think they have any method that can do that, though. You would have to know the intent of the user to know when you can go for data accurate to the training set versus data that is more accurate to possibilities. (For a fun example, Planet of the Apes have a Lincoln Memorial that I would imagine would be very hard to get from Gemini, as is.)

Reddit offers (some) US-based redditors shares at institutional prices
From the email:

u/abcd_f,

tl;dr – you’re invited to a special program that lets redditors purchase stock at the same price as institutional investors when we IPO. Details about eligibility and next steps follow. This (long, dense) email has all the info we can provide due to legal restrictions.

As you may have heard, Reddit has taken steps toward becoming a publicly traded company with the initial public filing of our registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2024. Yes, it’s happening.

And because you have helped make Reddit what it is today, you now have the opportunity to become Reddit owners at the same price as institutional investors.

We’re offering a Directed Share Program (“DSP”) that invites eligible users and moderators who have contributed to Reddit to participate in our initial public offering (“IPO”). (Including you!)

Program Requirements

While being selected to pre-register is the first step, there are certain legal and regulatory requirements to participate in the DSP that are outside of Reddit’s control. Bear with us here…

To be eligible for the DSP, you must:

* Be a current U.S. resident;

* You will be asked to provide the DSP Administrator a valid social security or permanent resident number, along with other personal information. Reddit will not have access to this data.
Please note that U.S. residents using a VPN may face application limitations if the VPN locates them in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions.

* Be at least 18 years old;

* Provide your full legal name and an email address;

* Not be a current or former Reddit employee (FTE).

When the DSP launches (a few weeks after pre-registration ends), individuals who have been confirmed for the program will be contacted by our external DSP Administrator. You will then be asked to provide additional information securely to the DSP Administrator to confirm your eligibility.

> Students attending BYU agree to follow an honor code, which mandates behavior in line with teachings of the church, such as academic honesty, adherence to dress and grooming standards, abstinence from extramarital sex, from same-sex romantic behavior, and from the consumption of alcohol and other drugs. Undergraduate students are also required to complete curriculum in LDS religious education for graduation regardless of their course of study.

I don’t understand how one follows from the other there?
Not a very convincing study
I find it comical that they pretend not to know how to fix it, but just in case I’ll make it explicit:

Go into the text that you silently append to people’s prompts, and remove the EDI material.

We all know you didn’t train the model on images of POC Nazis and Vikings, and if you’re that concerned about bias then improve the training data. If there are no images available to train on for what you consider to be a problematic bias then leave it alone. It’s probably pretty close to reality and nobody is going to care except people who will simply find something else to complain about anyway.

I love video games. I grew up with Super Mario Bros on the NES and since the 2000's I feel absolutely spoiled by the burgoening and diverse indie game industry. I can hardly believe that today I can mix and match genres, and the fact that the genre "deck building city builder roquelike" (looking at you Against the Storm) even exists is amazing.

This whole industry exists because society has made guarantees that you can in fact license your game for sale and be rewarded for all your hard work. I'm glad that piracy has been far enough on the edges that people still find it worth their time to invest years into dreaming, crafting, and delivering wonderful new games every day.

Where does this leave console emulators? I agree with everyone here that there is nothing inherently wrong with building them. But practically speaking, they do in fact significantly lower the barrier to "I'm going to play this game without paying the creators for it."

If you, like me, love video games and want there to be a healthy and thriving market for them, then what is the right and correct set of rules that we can agree on as a society? I don't think banning emulators makes sense, but it bothers me how much the hacker community completely lacks any sense of nuance for how their "fun hacker project" can have a detrimental effect on the very thing they love.

If the creators of these emulators are doing it out of a love and passion for video games, should they not also encourage users to pay for them? I know Nintendo isn't popular around here, and this particular action of theirs seems overreaching even to me, but if I have to pick a side I'm choosing the one that has some semblance of a future for video games.

> Tekken boss says microtransactions are prevalent because dev costs are larger

In fact I think games are much cheaper to make than they used to be. The number of great games made by a single person or a small team would have been almost impossible to do a few decades ago. Now if you want top of the line graphics and the rest of the fluff AAA games insist on, then he's right.

Easily explained by natural and common resonance. A good keyword is entrainment.
They didn't track where people looked. They tracked where people clicked - in other words, where they said they looked.

I believe the result, but I don't believe the study.
Western European countries do careful planning of which municipalities get how many of which migrants - it just turns out that people tend to move where their family and friends from their home countries are. This is how ghettoization actually happens at scale, same story with Czechs and Poles in the US back in the day.

You can't mandate that i.e. a Moroccan family cannot live within a mile of another, that would be crazy.

Projective geometric algebra for anyone wondering. A null basis vector is added to the basis vectors of the space you're working in. This allows the algebra to represent geometric objects that do not pass through the origin.
I have unresolved questions surrounding this concept. I agree with you that for the X number of years that you own the vehicle, the less you drive the harder it is to offset the manufacturing-related carbon emitted.

Once you are done with ownership, that vehicle is going to be owned by someone else, and probably at least one or two people after that. How do we account for that? Do we assume that all vehicles will be driven the same distance over their lifetime? Should we even bother to consider this factor? Does it matter if the distance driven is front-loaded or back-loaded (the original owner drives a lot or a little)? Are we overcomplicating things?
The Full Spectrum of Collaboration
Show HN: My journey in kernel dev so far
This is cool study, and the results match my intuition. Without trying to go off-topic, it's interesting that the actual study involved no walking, or even eye tracking. The data is self-reported from showing the participants images on a computer, and then having them click at where they would look.

Years ago, when I did my driver's license, they showed us a study done in the freaking 80s, that captured with full eye-tracking what drivers were looking at while actually driving.

With that technology now available pretty cheap off the shelf, I'm surprised at how low-tech this is. Is research funding in public health really this low?
> asked them to click on areas in the photo that caught their attention

I was disappointed it didn't use eye tracking instead. Maybe the clicking method is more accurate than I think though.
