The thing about technical skills in drawing today is that you can learn them. Artists do know how to draw hyper realistically and if you have good fine motor skills, you can systematically learn it. End result is like a photography tho and it all costs a lot of time.

Meaning, whereas in the past, if you was the first one to figure out, say, perspective or some color, you was able to draw what others could not. You did something knew and you are remembered for it. Today, if you can draw super realistic portrait, you are one of many talented artists who learned that from a books and classes.

> As for realism: isn't this still very much the goal of plenty of video game design, TV/movies, and various other forms of art?

No one knows artists behind video games. I do not thing realism is the distinguishing things behind artists who do video games, movies or tv. It is more of scene design, lightning, camera work etc that gets to be judged from the art side.
> "The whole conceit was that you were getting some OK-level of food for a low price and you could get it quick," Roberts said. "Now I can't justify the expense. If I'm paying $15 for a burger and fry and drink and it's McDonalds quality, forget about it — I'm going home."

My n=1 - I live in a pretty upscale American city, and ~$15 will get you a very nice burger and fries (no drink) at some of the most upscale restaurants in town. Pay attention to their Happy Hours, and it's more like $11 or $12 (so you could add a soft drink). A huge portion of meaty lamb roganjosh & rice at my favorite Indian take-away is $16. Why would anyone ever want to go near a McDonalds?

This feels low to me (not an expert at all). So many advantages in space. much longer sun exposure, no atmosphere or weather to deal with, etc?
Also hard vs soft water may sound different, not just carbonated water. Soft water feels smoother and silkier on the skin because it contains less minerals.
> We do the same for OS resources (handles, sockets, etc) and dont use automatic resource managers

1) Modern languages have made inroads here.

2) The OS is my automatic resource manager. When I hit ctrl-c on my running C program, my free() is never hit, yet it is cleaned up for me.

> So why complicate the design with automatic memory management?

I don't know beforehand who is going to be reading my memory, how many times, in what order, or whether they're going to copy out of it, or hold onto pointers into it.

> I just dont understand the fear with manual memory management. With RAII and and simple diligance (clear ownership rules), managing memory is an easy engineering task.

I claim that if managing memory is that straightforward, then it makes more sense to leave it to the compiler (Rust-style, not Java-style.) rather than let a human risk messing it up.

Strange flashdrives are also a bit sketchy.

This is so important, because the alternative is so destructive to the joy of life. It's practically the default configuration to walk around in a boiling rage at the stupidity of strangers, but it's usually about as useful as hating Satan. If there is some wider political benefit to living in a stew of bile it comes with little or negative personal benefit.

As one might suspect, "14.7 GHz" is roughly what you get by adding up the individual clock speeds. The overall tone of the video is a little goofy and this was obviously not meant by the creator as a serious performance claim.

That being said, it's still a cool project and I'd recommend just watching the video rather than reading third-party articles. It's only about 10 minutes long.
Yep, if the products table had columns that were only accessible to some users, SELECT * would throw an error in those cases.
Ads are manipulation, that is not a reputation, that is a definition. There is no logical conclusion that omits a message from being classified as both an ad and manipulative. One can't come without the other. An ad is non-consensual. You don't ask for ads. The ads don't answer questions you specifically are asking, they are exploiting your demographic using keywords and phrases their research shows to be effective towards influencing your decision making to doing exactly what they want (selling you something.)

If you really think ads are not by definition intrusive, I am curious to reconsider my stance.
That’s super cool

They look very similar to what a neural network might be in certain cases, and it seems like the structures are trying to map some sort of duality

Mathematicans like to call two things with the same "structure" by the same name, even if it's not obvious how they're otherwise related. In this case, the shared structure is that both the derivative of a function and D(n) follow the product rule of derivatives.
Sharing a structure means two mathematical objects are "morphic" (homomorphic[1], isomorphic[2], etc.) in some way, so in some sense they are the are same object.

In this case, we can construct a morphism. Since D(n) follows the product rule, we only need to find a function f of x for each prime p which at some x has a value of p and a derivative of 1. Then we can compose those functions by multiplication for all other natural numbers. f_p(x) = x + p is one such set of functions, giving us the complete function F_n(x) = Π_(p∈P(n)) x + p, where P(n) is the set of prime factors of n. Note, the product of the empty set is defined to be 1, so F_1(x) = 1.

Finally, the homomorphism between D and the derivatives of functions is that D(n) = F'_n(0), so in some sense, D really is a derivative.

Cool algorithm. Might come in handy soon for running neural networks on less powerful hardware :)
Can we just call it "the scene"?
You can compensate higher variability by building thicker walls than you would build with reinforced concrete (and it still may end up cheaper but it needs to be calculated).

> You can't reinforce stone

Not every structure needs to be reinforced. Stone walls should be fine (at least in places with low seismic activity) and for floor slabs one can continue using reinforced concrete.

That wasn't hate, just stating facts.

In case you missed who that Laurent Bercot is, he is the main author of all that's listed on https://skarnet.org/software/ containing some very modular stuff for building rock solid and reliable init systems and process supervision since a long time, while using only ridiculously small amounts of system resorces.

If the information at skarnet.org seems too terse, there is https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/S6 , https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/S6_and_s6-rc-based_init_system , https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Flexibeast/drafts/S6

One could consider him very informed in these matters.
From his point of view all that systemd stuff must look like a tragic comedy at best.

In early 90th I was an OS/2 fanboy, I did a lot of automation in REXX. I'm not sure REXX syntax resembles PL/I which was then heavily used at the place I worked on "big iron". PL/I used to be more verbose, uppercased and aming SQL database work, methinks. REXX, on the other hand, was more like Perl and I felt quite comfortable with Perl when I switched OS/2 to FreeBSD. :)

What is hard for me to justify on a routine basis is delivery. It ends up being $20 for half of a meal even when I go with cheap fast food. So I always want more food than that, which will be $30+ easily. For one person, from the least expensive restaurants.

I guess it's different if I have a "real" contract. But right now I am trying to save "runway" for my current "startup" and it seems like opening DoorDash more than once or twice a month is a pretty bad idea.
> It’s considered to be nontoxic and safe

That is a polymer industry lie. It is a bioplastic which still is a plastic. Bioplastics have the benefit that they may degrade faster into nanoplastics in the environment rather than remain as bigger solids, but this hardly makes them safer in any way.

In fact, these works show PLA to be harmful:

1. [PMID: 38354814] Are bioplastics safe? Hazardous effects of polylactic acid (PLA) nanoplastics in Drosophila

2. [doi: 10.1007/s11783-024-1779-4] A potential threat from biodegradable microplastics: mechanism of cadmium adsorption and desorption in the simulated gastrointestinal environment

3. [PMID: 37354720] The release of polylactic acid nanoplastics (PLA-NPLs) from commercial teabags. Obtention, characterization, and hazard effects of true-to-life PLA-NPLs (This shows barrier disruption.)

Moreover, the tea bags were causing me neurological reactive symptoms which disappeared after I switched to loose leaf. (All brands were Organic.)
It is not, because the subdivisions in CORDIC do not possess the best approximation properties of Farey fractions. For that, you would have to partition the circle into major/minor arcs instead, in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood's circle method. But that would be computationally very expensive, whereas this binary subdivision is fast, and is made faster using the shift-add tricks.
To be clear, it’s not mine, but that’s a good idea

As much of India catching up as JP falling down.

JP's 2023 nominal/dollar GDP @4.2T is like 65% of previous peak @6.2T due to USD strenghening. USD strengthened another 15% in 2024 so JP nominal GDP probably 55% of peak now. Per capita GDP dropped from 50k usd to 34k USD. Apart from FX drama that makes JP buying imports/going abroad difficult (while dealing with tourists), also general sign that JP's effort to improve business enviroment last couple decades have been failing. They can try to strenghten yen / but then lose exports to bother producers.

Are you saying that for arithmetic derivatives, the definition (part "a" above) "1 for any prime; everything else calculated via the product rule" has a surprising amount to do with differentiation?

If so, can you connect the dots?

That may or may not still be too simple a model. Cells are full of complex nano scale machinery and not only might it me plausible some of it is involved in the processes of cognition, I'm aware of at least one study which identified some nano scale structures directly involved in how memory works in neurones. Not to mention a lot of what's happening has a fairly analogue dimension.

I remember an interview with one neurologist who stated humanity has for centuries compared the functioning of the brain to the most complex technology devised yet. First it was compared to mechanical devices, then pipes and steam, then electrical circuits, then electronics and now finally computers. But he pointed out, the brain works like none of these things so we have to be aware of the limitations of our models.
You can remove "fast-" from the headline and the first sentence is still true, but it's hard not to justify the expense of eating at all. I tend to go multiple years between eating at a restaurant of any kind, and buy my food in grocery stores. But I still feel the sticker shock. Eggs, beef, fish are particularly outrageous, but the large price increases are everywhere. It's cliche to notice how much a few bags of groceries costs now but when I'm walking out of the store with two small bags for $200+, I notice.

So when you abandon fast food and change to preparing your own, it will help but less than you might hope.
The brain tissue came from management. They were concurrently researching if reducing brain mass from a useless area of the brain (labeled "compassion" in some textbooks, who needs that?) would improve manager perforance.

It's scary to think that while we have the Transformer and it seems extremely complex, things like this throw it all away and give us a glimpse into what the neural (or even non-neural) networks of the future will be like. Perhaps even just simulating full biological systems as well as a brain-like system.
Thanks for providing the links I did not -- Kids were waking up and I was trying to bang through it!

One of the things that I always messed up when calibrating it, is the step using the CD-on-a-stick part. You need to do this calibration phase changing the z axis on different points. Do one low. Do one medium, do some 'high'. This is how the system defines it's 'skew' of projection when it comes to the different heights/levels -- and if you do this step all roughly on the same 'z' plane, it will work, but it will not be anywhere near as accurate / magical feeling. The instructions I believe are hazy on this critical part of the setup.

We always used blocks / things covered with white rags instead of sand. Far easier to justify building over the living room table this way, and makes for a quick clean up process!

It's 100% super cool. Also, as you said, we use an $89 3 years ago projector. It is NOT a short-throw projector, but mounted roughly 6-7' above the surface. The kinect was mounted on a yard-stick hanging slightly down below so it's field of view covers just that of the table itself.

It's a super neat end result; and can be decently frustrating during the calibration phases and software setup, but is worth it!

Memory leaks can be hard to track down, but overflows and use after free bugs can take a project weeks off schedule. Depending on what is overwritten and where, the effects show up very far from the source of the problem. For an engineering or product manager this is a terrifying prospect. Managed memory more or less solves those problems - it introduces a couple of others and there are still a possibility of resource leaks but these problems are both more rare and generally easier to pin down.
To watch some classic in anything but original language is proper insult to the source and always subpar experience. Would you watch say Bicycle thieves with some yeager-speak variant too?

Coverity will definitely warn you about use-after-free. It’s not a “correctness” tool, it’s a static analyzer and probably the best one out there (imo). Yes in this use case it’s probably not too important to care about, but really any code base of importance should be run through it on a fairly regular basis.
When the bizantine re-took part of Italy, the local germanic tribes who had occupied Italy identified them as Romans, which is why to this day there's a geographical region called "Romagna" a few hundred kilometers from the city of Rome.
Yes, except for the "defining them upfront" part, which sounds similar in theory to checked exceptions in Java. I'm very partial to this, especially in Go, where nobody ever bothers to propagate errors properly and instead just bubbles up the same `err` object all the way to the top.
It’s both confirmation bias and appeal to authority, however, you can’t fully remove those biases anyway. the best you can do is just be aware of them and scrutinise projects despite their pedigree, or your previous experience. (It’s clear that you also understand this, no i’m in no way disagreeing with you)
I have a few vintage programmable HP calculators that implement CORDIC on their 4-bit CPUs. You can also program them to calculate the Taylor expansion of sin() as another approximate method.

If you liked this, it’s worth reading Donald Knuth seminal “The Art of Computer Programming” which explains a number of mathematical algorithms by example.
Well yes but people seem very keen on not using it (or another tool that does the same or similar).
> you can straight up fry a computer with a flash drive that has been tampered with. USB in general doesn't really seem to be designed with security in mind.

I don't think it's fair to claim USB is insecure because you can buy accessories that charge a capacitor bank over the 5V, and then feed that back to the computer.

That could be solved by using an isolated hub to host USB devices, like the Spectra 3022. Then again, if you have equipment that expensive, I hope you're not plugging random stuff into it...
This would explain why only pirates wear them rather than also ordinary seamen.
That sort of sinusoidally oscillating population is certainly possible, but be careful what you wish for. The negative feedback, as far as population is concerned, is "death". Before the exponentially-growing post-Industrial population, we'd have periodic wars/famines/plagues that result from the population of an area outgrowing its local carrying capacity. That's not generally considered a good thing.

There is a nuance here: those reports from management should go to QA, not to developers. If QA can't transform manager report into a proper bug report, then it's not worth anything. Also, QA will have time to verify the fix, unlike managers.
There are only a few levers the American government has to pull to encourage the behavior they want. They can't at this point order companies to eliminate China from their supply chains. They can instead make it more painful to use China via tariffs and other trade barriers.

I also think there has been some domestic investment via the IRA, and I've seen government officials soliciting the construction of battery factories.

I think the problem is that as long as a Chinese supply chain is cheaper, any rational capitalist actor will choose that.
