The other day I was working on my wolf 3d game clone when I noticed this cool bug.

My maps for the game are defined as an object with width, height and an array of arrays for the data. When working on a map that was supposed to be 14 in width and 16 in height, I forget to update the values (8 x 8) and end up creating a infinite level.

you can look at the error here: https://victorribeiro.com/raycast2/js/map.js

You need a keyboard to walk around the game. Arrow keys walk around, space bar opens doors.

What is the situation exactly? Seems to be licensed MPL at a glance, so you're able to use it in commercial projects.

There are more people than ever and the surface area of the planet hasn't increased.
AI/ML is going to absolutely destroy the first generations of junior developers. They won’t get enough practice doing software development by themselves and won’t know enough to fix subtle bugs introduced by the code. It’s like using a graphing calculator in high school. Probably perfectly OK for a smart kid taking calc his senior year, but would absolutely be used as a crutch by struggling or lazy students in a pre-algebra class.

Right now AI is mostly controlled by mega corps abusing copyright laws because they can get away with it. I seriously doubt this is going to drastically change.

Basically, I don’t understand this authors cute, homely portrayal of AI.
The stock price increase directly benefits Tesla shareholders. It also reflects revenue growing by 5x since 2018 and the company becoming profitable since 2020.
I signed up for an account so that I could direct message a vendor to let them know their site was down. I managed to get the account made, sent off a message to the vendor, and my account was immediately banned. The message on my homepage told me it would likely take a week for the ban to be lifted.

That was in August of last year. Absolutely nothing has changed since then. I'm not even sure how to reach out to them to appeal the ban. Maybe nobody's home.

I took that as a sign that maybe the platform wasn't worth my time.
Mentioning the pedal assist bikes is important, for the amount of battery a cybertruck ships with, you could ship 400 of the ebike I use for 90% of my trips.
I VPN (WireGuard) into my home network to access other selfhosted services (like Immich for photos, paperless-ngx, DNS adblock, etc.) and to prevent some tracking, so it would work great for me.
The problem is that you don't understand how tax exemption works?

According to the OpenAI charter, their mission is to "ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity." That's their legally binding mission - not selling cloud services by the token or licensing their models to companies like Microsoft and Apple. Any lawyer with half a brain would have advised them that those activities would almost certainly be found by the IRS and the courts to be unrelated business activities, so they spun them off as a for-profit corporation instead of taking an entirely unnecessary risk.

Just because their product is vaguely AGI related doesn't mean it has anything to do with their actual mission.
> GPUs are massively parallel devises, they need to keep the scheduler and ALU logic as simple and compact as possible

The simplest hardware implementation is not always the more compact or the more efficient. This is a misconception, example bellow.

> SIMT is just SIMD with some additional capabilities for control flow ..

In the Nvidia uarch, it does not. The key part of the Nvidia uarch is the "operand-collector" and the emulation of multi-ports register-file using SRAM (single or dual port) banking.
In a classical SIMD uarch, you just retrieve the full vector from the register-file and execute each lane in parallel.
While in the Nvidia uach, each ALU have an "operand-collector" that track and collect the operands of multiple in-flight operations. This enable to read from the register-file in an asynchronous fashion (by "asynchronous" here I mean not all at the same cycle) without introducing any stall.

When a warp is selected, the instruction is decoded, an entry is allocated in the operand-collector of each used ALU, and the list of register to read is send to the register-file.
The register-file dispatch register reads to the proper SRAM banks (probably with some queuing when read collision occur). And all operand-collectors independently wait for their operands to come from the register-file, when an operand collector entry has received all the required operands, the entry is marked as ready and can now be selected by the ALU for execution.

That why (or 1 of the reason) you need to sync your threads in the SIMT programing model and not in an SIMD programming model.

Obviously you can emulate an SIMT uarch using an SIMD uarch, but a think it's missing the whole point of SIMT uarch.

Nvidia do all of this because it allow to design a more compact register-file (memories with high number of port are costly) and probably because it help to better use the available compute resources with masked operations
Anyone knows a modern TTS program for Windows? Something you can feed a text file to and have it read while it's on screen?

And I also still do the casual facing up. It's kind of satisfying, but also my wife is a bit short so there are times when someone her height can't see any stock left and I've had to dig for it so I guess it's nice to be helpful and bring it forward so people can at least see it's there.
Or until the European stance changed, under the influence of the US, from one of including Russia to excluding. At least that's what Ulrike Guerot claims to have experienced.

I have no idea if this is true. I also don't want to say that Russia always tells the whole truth without lies and propaganda. But I'm finding it rather that our own side doesn't behave in the Ukraine conflict as we behave in other conflicts between third countries. We also engage in a lot of propaganda and biased reporting, especially on the topic of Ukraine and Israel (as shown by fair.org), so I've become careful too quickly deciding what the truth is.

(I do disagree in at least one point with all the russia apologists though: Whatever may have happened in Ukraine before the war and whatever the larger context is, what is happening right now there is driven by Russia and is absolutely devastating for Ukrainians. That Ukrainians hate Russia is absolutely understandable.
So I think we should continue to support Ukraine. Nevertheless, if there was some hidden context in the lead-up of the war, it would be in our best interests to expose this.)

Isn't it better to leave on the best terms possible? In my career I've sometimes needed to get references from my last few positions to get offered my next one. Wearing out everyone's good will while you run out the clock doesn't sound like a good strategy.

> Ahhh so you want the public to do your QA for you and don’t mind interfering with their productivity when the first iterations of your software are a buggy mess?

"Open source" means developed by the public. The public isn't just doing the QA, they're doing the entire thing from the first line of code. Which is exactly the problem with Apple's interference -- they want you to have a finished app before you can share it with all the people who might have been willing to help you build it.

> TestFlight

And we're back to intentionally putting up barriers to exactly what open source needs to succeed.

Maybe 1% of users are programmers, and 1% of those might be contributors. But that's fine if you have a million users -- less than 0.1% of the world population -- because you could have a hundred contributors, which is enough to get something done. Which in turn allows you to improve and then get ten million users etc.

Testflight caps the number of users at 10,000. Now you've got 1 contributor instead of 100 and when that's not enough you're sunk. Meanwhile the "beta" is forced to expire after 90 days which creates friction for the users and makes them more likely to abandon you.

> Your open source devs are not always great at disclosing the fact that their software is half baked

People will figure this out pretty quickly when they try to use it. But then that's the point -- you try to use it, it sucks, but you can fix it yourself. The intention is to have this happen and then the app improves for everyone.
I find it surprising that it would cause issues. There are as of this writing only 162 comments in the thread, which was posted 17 hours ago, and the (simple!) web page is still very slow to load. How much traffic slows down a static web page with a single image? Even if we stipulate a quite manageable 100 requests per second, that means 6 million people read this thread and decided to click that link. 6 million people and only 162 left a comment? Can that be right?
I'm not sure it's as simple as you say. The first time my very young son saw a horse, he made the ASL sign for 'dog'.

> an overinvested market with nowhere near enough people buying pot

Taxes could be lower and regulations could be simplified, but this seems like the crux of it. Lots of people jumped in to a new market, and the actual demand can only sustain a fraction of them.
This only applies to public companies. Private enterprises can do whatever they want (within the law of course, and assuming they have majority interest)

And it may not compel a specific action. The law is there mainly to prevent situations whereby corporate officers tank a company on purpose say, for the benefit of another company for which they are the shareholders or receive other benefits. Say, pass on a deal from company X which has more favorable terms vs. company Y for which the CEO sits on the board. In this case the CEO could be held fiscally and potentially criminally liable for acting against the best interests of the company.

Short of a bankruptcy, I'm not sure there is any legal compulsion to sell off any part of a company.

> Mastercard treats their technology as infallible

They're not unlikely to claim that it was me because machine reports seeing my eyes (because it doesn't hurt them to try to deny the claim), but generally industry is well aware that fraud exists.

> Mastercard fails to take responsibility and continues to allow you to be exploited

True for debit, but for credit the idea is that it's card issuer's problem if they still authorize those biometrics-authenticated transactions afterwards. The most probable scenario is that they'll immediately block the card and ability to use biometric payments after receiving the fraud report. Then start figuring out what happened.

So, I guess, as long as I don't have all eggs in one basket (MasterCard), I will be inconvenienced but not really exploited.

And given that it's not exactly trivial to quietly steal then impersonate someone's eyes and face, until that actually happens (low-probability event) it seems convenient to pay (high-frequency event) without reaching for a wallet or device.
>human children learn to understand and use language — an incredibly complex and nuanced domain, to say the least — with shockingly little data and often zero-to-none intentional instruction

This isn't accurate comparison imo, because we're mapping language to a world model which was built through a ton of trial and error.

Children aren't understanding language at six months old, there seems to be a minimum amount of experience with physics and the world before language can click for them.
Pretty sure you have the order of events backward there.

It matters.
I got put on a PIP once. It happened because a project I was leading suffered from a huge scope blowout in the 11th hour, and I missed the deadline. To be honest, it actually really hurt my self-esteem. I had a pretty hard time dealing with it at the time. I now look back and realize that the project couldn't possibly have succeeded even if they had two of me working overtime. I ended up moving on from that position a few weeks after.
My experience learning Japanese, and more importantly living in Japan, has convinced me of the complete opposite: that linguistic differences are almost entirely downstream of cultural differences. The things you initially think are unique to the Japanese language are actually preserved fully when speaking with Japanese people in English (bearing in mind that a Japanese person who learns English fluently will inherently be atypical in various ways), and the experience of speaking with a Japanese person in English is far more "Japanese" than speaking Japanese with someone who has never lived here.
I brought some home, intending to do this - and the squirrels got into them, heavily staining the deck.

Which is a good sign I guess!
It's often far cheaper to fire someone immediately and pay out full benefits than it is to keep someone on payroll on a PIP. The cost of keeping someone on PIP isn't just salary, it's also the management and maintenance associated with it and the opportunity cost of having someone working on a project that could otherwise go to someone more productive.
I would love the irony of the defendants training a lawyer model to save money on this case until AGI happens.
This is my go-to screenshot tool for Linux; I've been using it almost daily for years now.

It's by no means as feature-rich as ShareX for Windows, but it works perfectly for what I need. It covers the essentials like simple annotations, blocking out areas of screenshots, saving local copies, etc.

I made some tweaks to support my own custom image uploader API, and similar to the comment by geoka9, I have it set up to take a screenshot, upload to my app, and copy the URL into my clipboard all behind a single shortcut.
I love discovering the people inside enterprises who don’t realise how awesome they are at coding. They might be a “personal assistant” or something but they hack on sharepoint forms or access or excel and make it sing - acknowledging their clever skills and giving them more powerful tools is awesome. Then they leave for a better job… brilliant!
I meant more regarding their server setup but now that I think about it you are correct, it matters a lot more if the query/message/whatever isn’t encrypted before hitting the cloud.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants vs. Journey Chains: How Journey Chains Reinvents the Magic of Shared Experiences

In a world where meaningful connections often feel fleeting, two distinct concepts emerge that emphasize the power of shared experiences and the bonds they create: “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” and Journey Chains. Though one is a beloved fictional story and the other a groundbreaking new platform, both tap into our deep desire for connection and storytelling. Let’s explore the similarities and differences between these two unique ways of connecting people through shared items and stories.

What do you mean when you say 'resisting the urge to over-monetize' in this context?
Ferromagnetism has nothing to do with currents, it is due to aligned spins of partially filled shells. Below a certain temperature (Curie temperature of the material), exchange interaction (which penalizes any misalignment, in the case of ferromagnetic exchange interaction) between electrons leads to this alignment.

Spin is a type of intrinsic angular momentum that is not associated with any spatial motion.

The Feynman lecture you linked to is an explanation why currents fail to explain ferromagnetism. You need to read the next chapter, but being a lecture for undergrads, it doesn't go deep into the subject anyway. If you're really interested, any modern book on magnetism would be much helpful.
Just like unlocking your phone for one specific, quick purpose then getting distracted by notifications and 10-15 minutes you've forgotten what you actually needed to do. Deliberate gruen or poor ui design?

Social media & their ilk UI is likely not a mistake (eg youtube, X, netflix) given it nakedly optimizes engagement.
Mobile-first explains quite a bit.

I don't have anything against mobile, but unfortunately the trend has been that "if it works on mobile, its good everywhere else". Hence the move towards "discoverable" interfaces, which makes sense when you don't have much screen real estate. But when you do, I don't think there's anything wrong and labelled buttons, not just icons. And Bring Back the Bezel!

A lot of Linux users like fiddling with things, and then purposely choose the things they'll have to fiddle with. This is not actually required. You can buy a device from e.g. System76 and then use the preinstalled OS or something conservative like Debian Stable. It "just works".

The people compiling everything from source and messing with kernel modules are doing it because that's their hobby.
I get rust and swift (maybe) but kotlin is basically on par with java at this point. Maybe 2.0 will create a wider gap but if Java 21 has nice things that kotlin doesn't have, and when you add those up there's no clear winner imo.

Having Apple dependent on and paying for Microsoft infrastructure is a win for Microsoft. Of course the deal benefits Microsoft as much as Apple.

Microsoft needs Apple as a strong competitor. Otherwise they will be declared a monopoly and broken up by regulators. Microsoft was smart to use OpenAI as a proxy for this deal.

With react you can get paid 2x more if your employer has react. That’s about it. Otherwise any modern framework will do, just use what has enough stars and less than 2-3 major versions in last few years.
It depends. Sometimes people just need a kick in the ass. Sometimes they have a blind spot that needs to be pointed out. People should be given a chance to improve. In terms of action required, there’s often very little difference between helping an under-achiever hit the mark, and helping an adequate performer grow. It’s just a question of expectations. I argue that a failure to ever do the former makes one a bad manager.

That’s not to say that they should be given infinite leeway, but nobody here has made that argument, so…

Sometimes a PIP is just a PIP. I’m sick to death of the increasingly clickbaity articles that cause employees to preemptively put their shields up as a result of painting every workplace as being a very particular sort of…terrible corporate America.
Can't make decision for myself. Article doesn't contain picture in question or a link to a tweet or anything of that nature. Given that current internet narrative is neurotic and even smallest questions are blown out of proportions I tend to think that offence was not that big, otherwise FBI would request IP address of the guy and put him in jail (much better outcome then "ban his twitter account")
"the effective tax rate can climb to as high as 34% when factoring in state sales tax and local taxes. That’s made California’s legal pot extremely expensive compared with other West Coast states — and made the illicit products, which are sold tax free, a cheap alternative."

Across retailing, stores sell branded products at a substantial premium to generic products(Coke vs the generic pop in the local grocery store), yet most people still prefer the branded products. In the pot industry one would expect the preference to be even stronger because the legal branded product is going to be a consistent quality--while the illegal stuff make be fake or adulterated. So I don't understand the California preference for the illegal pot.
In the last few decades, it seems rarer and rarer for companies to give references, or at least meaningful ones beyond 'Yes, they worked here. No, we have nothing bad to say about them.' I'd wager the companies with a culture that allows PIPing also won't give you a wager. You are left with personal referrals from colleges.
Why do we trust human journalists exactly? Very few of them are interested in truth. This article is motivated by the same existential anger we see from artists.
