correct. the process is called texture baking. however, displacement uses displacement maps, which are grayscale, essentially depth maps. displacement is not very useful for realtime rendering because then the displacement has to be calculated in realtime. displacement is mostly used in offline rendering. realtime rendering just uses normal maps.

Engaging in politics on LinkedIn is kind of psychotic, sorry.
I know this is unpopular but we need to stop being so afraid of studying IQ. If you look at research like the NYLS there are very clear differences, and they seem to be heavily influenced by genetics. Your IQ is incredibly important for everything from earning potential to lifespan, and we could make meaningful societal advancements from that kind of research.

Also as an aside from my time doing research, I don’t think anyone is afraid to conduct research that’s critical of religion.
There's a tendency for Westerners to view every religion through the lens of protestant Christianity. Religion is a notoriously hard to define concept (this was the running joke of a sociology of religion unit I took at university; each week we'd look to another attempt to define it.) The idea that it's all about 'belief', some confession of fact-statements, is very much from that protestant Christian understanding, a post-Enlightenment focus on words.

The boundaries between religion, culture, language, myth and storytelling, reflection.. these are all extremely porous and vary widely. It looks to me that the researchers in the article are aware of this.

Brent Nongbri's book "Before Religion" is excellent on all of this.

I have never understood why POSIX and NTP timescales work the way they do. They are positively bonkers when it comes to leap seconds. Time isn't even monotonic during the transition, because the epoch itself is redefined.

Contrast this with the GPS or PTP timescales, which simply count seconds since a well-defined epoch. Formatting the date and time for humans to read is a sensibly separate process.
We measure angles in radians because it's an easy way to measure the length of the circle sector in the units of the circle's radius. It feels neat in many cases.

A more practical way to measure angles would be in rotations. 0° = 0, 360° = 1, 90° = 0.25, etc. It would remove a ton of 2π and 4π² factors from a lot of equations in physics.
In Washington State (Seattle) I was attending the UW and targeting Computer Science when I discovered I could transfer in some number of general ed courses (not pre-reqs) from in-state community colleges. It saved me a fair amount of money and I found the courses to be of similar quality to general ed courses at the university.

(Which is to say, the courses were a mix of good and not good, just like I experienced at the university.)

They had a big list of in-state transfers, where you could see which courses you could transfer in, and which you couldn't. Also, you could see if they satisfied any specific requirement.

This anecdote is almost 20 years old at this point though, but I believe this is still possible to do.
The “panic” is mostly from “a group of publishers, led by Phoebe McMellon, CEO of GeoScienceWorld”. They sure as hell will complain if you threaten their business model of charging ~$50 a pop to read a paper, public domain or not.
Do we introduce an unnecessary leap second and then negative leap second every year just to keep the gears oiled? And then if we need one for reals we can increase it to two leap seconds added and only one removed. Though of course that will cause bugs in any code that isn't expecting two leap seconds to be added and assumed that there would only ever be one. sigh
> As soon as Ladybird is half as good as Firefox

That's never gonna happen without substantial funding because a modern, remotely feature parity web browser is a gargantuan project even if every developer is a genius. Chromium and Firefox sit at 30 million/20 million lines of code respectively, modern web browsers are basically operating systems.

Mozilla doesn't rely on Google revenue because they love Google so much, they do so because they have hundreds of engineers to pay. A million dollars sounds like a lot but that pays for a handful of engineers for a year. That's not going to get you to 5% of Chromium or Firefox.

Many states require that CC courses transfer for the CC associate's degree program to exist. Virtually all CCs and 4 year public institutions have documentation that you can access well in advance of pursuing a degree plan that will tell you what transfers, so you can avoid the electives that don't.
You have any polls on that or is that just a guess?

Yeah, probably depends on the school system.

In my area, the community and state college have a program that allows students to transfer directly into a four year degree after completing core classes at the community college. All credits transfer so long as they’re part of the program.

For us, it was roughly half the tuition cost and student lived at home the first couple years. Worked well for us.

Any current or future OS should have its filesystem completely decoupled from the OS itself -- thus allowing booting/running the OS off of any kind of plain or esoteric storage device, local or network, present or remote, physical or cloud-based, interrupt/DMA based or API/protocol based, block-based or file-based, real or virtualized, encrypted or not encrypted, tunnelled or not tunnelled, over another protocol or not over another protocol, using TCP/IP or UDP or even just raw 1's and 0's over whatever electronic communication channel someone invents next, etc., etc.

Old time OS programmers typically didn't need to think about these things...

Current and future OS designers might wish to consider these things in their designs, if they desire maximum flexibility in their current or future OS...

Anyway, an excellent article!

>The heaviest bowls weighed between 87% more than the smallest bowls, Wells Fargo found. But bowls ordered in-store and online weighed roughly the same.

Are they saying in-store orders weighed roughly the same and online orders weighed roughly the same, but the two groups differed? Or is there another way to order that I'm missing?

My personal experience is that online / delivery orders yield the smallest portions. It's such a big difference vs in-store that it must be intentional.
I suspect what we don't have is the ability for Forth words to act as symbols that can be given a completely different meaning.

Can we have:

oof dup rot swap foo

where oof is a delimiter pairing with foo, both of which we developed? It causes dup, rot and swap not to execute but somehow be accumulated as just symbols; then foo interprets them in such a way that they are unrelated to duplicating, rotating and swapping stack elements.

Word definitions do something like this. There is a : (colon) word which causes the next word to be interpreted as a name for a new definition and then subsequent words until a semicolon are shored up into the definition.
But that's a fixed thing, built into the language. It's not defined in the Forth standard as a symbolic quoting mechanism.

Most folks in a city likely have never been able to experience being able to walk by true starlight on a moonless night, and seeing clearly. It would be nearly impossible to get the right conditions even with a lot of effort.

%n strikes again.

Sure.

The paper doesn't show topology, UVs or the output texture, so we're left to assume the models look something like what you'd find when using photogrammetry: triangulated blobs with highly segmented UV islands and very large textures. Fine for background elements in a 3D render, but unsuitable for use in a game engine or real-time pipeline.

In my job I've sometimes been given 3D scans and asked to include them in a game. They require extensive cleanup to become usable, if you care about visual quality and performance at all.

Just a quibble about the metro to city population ratio... I think it's usually a lot higher than 1.5 or 3 to 1. Portland where I live has a population of around 650k (city) and 2.6M (metro). So about 4:1. And it's one of the less spread out metro areas in the US. The LA metro has about 18.5M and the city itself about 4M. Chicago is also about 4:1. NYC is the exception at closer to 2.5:1.

Just having grown up in LA (the city), I think there's a cognitive bias in these places against recognizing just how freakin large they are when you live there. There are large corners of my home metro area I've never been to at all, whose people I would almost never interact with... and I say that as a former taxi driver! Of course, taxi driving in LA was always balkanized so you'd need separate licenses to pick up in this or that suburb... very Snow Crash-like even in the 90s.

Geologists raise concerns over possible censorship and bias in Chinese chatbot (24 June 2024) https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jun/24/g...

Tests on Qwen, part of GeoGPT’s underlying AI, reveal geoscience-related questions can produce answers that appear to be influenced by narratives set by the Chinese Communist party.

For example, when asked how many people have died in a mining operation in Ghana run by the Shaanxi Mining Company, Qwen says: “I’m unable to provide current or specific information about events, including mining accidents, as my knowledge is based on data up until 2021 and I don’t have real-time access to news updates.”

The same question posed to ChatGPT, the chatbot developed by the US company OpenAI, produces the answer: “The Shaanxi Mining Company in Ghana has experienced multiple fatal incidents, resulting in a total of 61 deaths since 2013. This includes a significant explosion in January 2019 that alone claimed 16 lives. ”

This is debatable.

I've seen countless "AI on knowledge base" projects and all have been on a whole not that much better than just using ElasticSearch. Some aspects are better e.g. discovery but some aspects are worse e.g. accuracy, speed when you are looking for something specific.

I would argue that simply having a knowledge graph in front that can provide related papers for a topic would accomplish the goals better.

I feel so sorry for the UK research community. All this nonsense derives directly from the Conservative party's mania over Europe and their researchers' programs and pipelines of talent are impacted as a result.

Erasmus, free movement of EU workers, access to healthcare on EU terms, the ability to zip back and forth quickly and easily across the sea to collaborate with peers, all evaporated.

It was quite possible to have objections to the way the EU did things, and reform them, without leaving. But sadly the UK chose Brexit. An absolute tragedy.

Well you should probably look into adding credits to the LLM that you're using then. I would guess you're using one of OpenAI LLMs via API key. OpenAI used to not require pre-purchase of credits, now they do: https://community.openai.com/t/oai-api-switching-to-pre-paid.... So I'd imagine you just have not added credits to your OpenAI account.

There's a few reasons:

Smaller class sizes for general education courses so the teacher knows you better and so do your classmates. Leads to more accountability for completing course work as you can't just be a face in a 500 seat lecture pit.

Many of the teachers coincidentally teach advanced high school courses and moonlight as adjunct professors, so that also contributes to the "high school feel".
I wonder if people “double dip” by first offloading vulnerabilities to black market. Then claim the bug bounty later on.

- find vuln (0day to you)

- sell sploit on black market (0day for black market

- months later, confirm if vulnerability has not been patched

- if not patched, submit bug report and claim as new 0-day. “0day” for company. But it’s really been in the wild for 180-days

- google sends $250K check but “researcher” also received $750K on the black market

In addition to double dipping, can these high bounties also act as a way for employees to pad their salaries?

- “accidentally” introduce bug in patch. Very easy to do an “xz/jia tan” like attack. Maybe slip it in a massive change request

- let buddy know this vulnerability exists. Then have them claim the bounty.

- months later have accomplice send cryto/nft/cash

Probably can’t do this too often though.
