Among America's "Low-Information Voters"
I went from zero to hero with phind.com from last year September because my role change required it.

It was a great experience as I usually knew what I wanted to do but did not know how to do it. So I just asked for solutions as I would from a junior then reviewed the responses and learned a ton.

There were more complicated things where a long blog post helped much more when learning about multiprocessing eg. "what is GIL and what is the historical background of it" is simply not a question one asks about python while in learning phase :)
Another board topic where I guess I failed to ask the right questions was setting up the dev environment with venv and requirements.txt and whatnot. I needed multiple blog posts and other humans for that.

It was also quite bad at deciding if a language feature is available or not in a given python version, I always needed to rtfm for that.
I saw a video a while ago where they recreated actual doom footage with a diffusion technique so it looked like a jungle or anything you liked. Cant find it anymore, but looked impressive.
Space Invaders street art mosaics
At a high level I guess so. I don't know enough about Ray Reconstruction (though the results are impressive), but I was thinking of something more drastic than DLSS. Diffusion models on static images can turn a cartoon into a photorealistic image. Doing something similar for a game, where a low-quality render is turned into something that would otherwise take seconds to render, seems qualitatively quite different from DLSS. In principle a model could fill in huge amounts of detail, like increasing the number of particles in a particle-based effect, adding shading/lighting effects...

Since you know best what makes sense (by not knowing what FreeBSD even can and the difference between emulation and translation) perfect self-report.
CRDTs seem to give the best experience when they correctly model the "intent" of changes.

But a diff between two different states of raw text can't convey the intent of a code change (beyond very simple changes).

This is why I think CRDTs haven't caught on for VCSes and I'm not sure they _could_ without some kind of structured editing.
Extremely good players have old profiles that they have used for a long time, gradually getting better. Cheaters are either using a new profile, or an old profile with bad stats that then has a sharp uptick.
The Future Is Now: Pioneering the Sustainable Materials Revolution
Doom system requirements:

- 4 MB RAM
- 12 MB disk space

Stable diffusion v1

> 860M UNet and CLIP ViT-L/14 (540M)
Checkpoint size:
4.27 Gb
7.7 GB (full EMA)

Peak compute per chip (Int8) 393 TFLOPs
HBM2 capacity and bandwidth 16 GB, 819 GBps
Interchip Interconnect BW 1600 Gbps

This is quite impressive, especially considering the speed. But there's still a ton of room for improvement. It seems it didn't even memorize the game despite having the capacity to do so hundreds of times over. So we definitely have lots of room for optimization methods. Though who knows how such things would affect existing tech since the goal here is to memorize.

What's also interesting about this work is it's basically saying you can rip a game if you're willing to "play" (automate) it enough times and spend a lot more on storage and compute. I'm curious what the comparison in cost and time would be if you hired an engineer to reverse engineer Doom (how much prior knowledge do they get considering pertained models and visdoom environment. Was doom source code in T5? And which vit checkpoint was used? I can't keep track of Google vit checkpoints).

I would love to see the checkpoint of this model. I think people would find some really interesting stuff taking it apart.

I agree, it is my own experience as well. Craig Venter In one of his books also credit this way of representing knowledge as abstractions as his strength in inventing new concepts.

The link may be that we actually see differences between “frames”, rather than the frames directly. That in itself would imply that a from of sub-visual representation is being processed by our brain. For aphantasia, it could be that we work directly on this representation instead of recalling imagery through the visual system.

Many people with aphantasia reports being able to visualize in their dreams, meaning that they don't lack the ability to generate visuals. So it may be that the brain has an affinity to rely on the abstract representation when "thinking", while dreaming still uses the "stable diffusion mode".

I’m no where near qualified to speak of this with certainty, but it seems plausible to me.
Video game cheats are nothing like sports cheats / steroids

A non-roided pro can still sometimes somehow beat a roided pro.

With videogames there is zero chance you can actually beat a cheater. Maybe you can score a lucky point / frag against him/her once in 100 instances, but actually beat him?

Imagine idk Mike Tyson in his prime comes up against an underdog and the underdog can teleport or has a perfect reaction time of a standard auto-aim cheat?
Actually, I think you are making this up.

Either way, I’m far more concerned about Trumps $4k tax on me (in addition to the tax hike he implemented on me when he was president but I’ll let that slide).
Of course they should. Even Nixon charged a marginal tax rate of above 70%. Roosevelt charged 94%. It is not only a matter of fairness, but not doing so is also very dangerous. Billionaires shouldn't exist. A few had a ton of merit. Many inherited. All of them were very lucky, regardless of their merit and effort. But none of the billionaires was elected by the people to have the completely disproportionate power they have over society.

So, while I am completely for capitalism and low taxes for everyone, including the wealthy, billionaires should be taxed out of existence. Basically, I think the tax rate curve should be like a hockey stick. Very flat and then suddenly all the way up to almost 100%. The old billionaires would still be able to live very comfortable lifes as millionaires.

No single country should be doing this by itself, though. It should be a coordinated effort.

The content is text. I know we've gotten used to the general clown-vomit look of the modern web, but come on. This site is more of an ebook than anything, no sense in over-complicating it.
TL;dr: Use what works for you.
Worth noting that aphantasia doesn't necessarily extend to dreams. Anecdotally - I have pretty severe aphantasia (I can conjure milisecond glimpses of barely tangible imagery that I can't quite perceive before it's gone - but only since learning that visualisation wasn't a linguistic metaphor). I can't really simulate object rotation. I can't really 'picture' how things will look before they're drawn / built etc. However I often have highly vivid dream imagery. I also have excellent recognition of faces and places (e.g.: can't get lost in a new city). So there clearly is a lot of preconscious visualisation and image matching going on in some aphantasia cases, even where the explicit visual screen is all but absent.
If you want a consistent UI (non-native look), your best bet may be Blazor Hybrid currently. Yes, it's web technology (with the overhead that comes with that), but at least it uses the native browser components, so it's not nearly as "heavyweight" as something like Electron. My main concern has always been the lack of Linux support, but maybe that's not an issue for you.

> I love Gnome but I want (at least) quarter tiling

This is what I've used Pop!'s Gnome extension (https://github.com/pop-os/shell) for in the past. I don't think it'll receive much love after Cosmic is released (after all, Gnome itself is being dropped) but if it still works for whatever version of Gnome you use, it may be worth checking out.

After using FancyZones on Windows, Gnome's lack of tiling management on my ultrawide has become a bit of an annoyance for me. Unfortunately, my copy of Pop Shell broke at some point.

> no fragile plugin system

While I don't like Gnome's tendency to slow down or crash, I do very much like the plugin system. Things like GSConnect and various smaller tweaks improve my Gnome experience a lot.

I hope Cosmic does expose some kind of plugin system, though hopefully one that's not as prone to lag and crashes.
With the amount of air conditioners and coffee makers (et al.) connected to WiFi I think lapses in correct separation is more frequent than anyone would be willing to admit. Maybe not too practical to hijack a TCP stream, but still worth to remember if anyone claims to be protected by NAT.

> do people actually care about all this stuff in non-professional sports when played recreationally? (Just like video games.)

People absolutely care, because a cheater in a lobby will ruin the experience for a dozen or more people and ultimately waste their time, taking it away from their lives.

The cheater is doing it willingly and knowingly and with a full intent to cause harm - take away someone’s time which is really the only thing we have. Cheaters shiho absolutely be punished beyond just video games, not sure how exactly though (I wouldn’t trust state nor mob with that task for sure)
The 'N' word has seen a similar adoption and "historical negative connotatione still lingers for those who remember it that way" as well. I doubt they'll allow that particular slur however(and rightly so).

Yes. There are multiple UI projects that build on the WinUI 3 components in the Win App SDK.

There's the first party MAUI which is an updated version of Xamarin Forms. The two best-known third-party implementations are AvaloniaUI and Uno. I prefer Uno, it has more cross-platform targets.
If we compare the last major release of Mono back in 2019, where there was a real improvement to the CLR (not just bug and security fixes), with the CoreCLR versions at that time, the factor is rather 1.1 (see e.g. https://www.quora.com/Is-the-Mono-CLR-really-slower-than-Cor...).
Cheating isn’t a binary thing , it’s a spectrum. The number of people who are willing to install a random script that they drop into a folder that lets them win every Br game is vastly higher than the number who will install a kernel level driver, which is more than will _pay for_ and keep updated with a kernel level driver. Currently, “expensive dedicated hardware that replaces the gaming mouse that I like using” is significantly less of a problem than “install rootkit”

Depending on who you ask, and/or by what methods you're computing this, this is in fact AI. Probably most would agree that a neural network is AI, but quite a few will assert that linear regression is too.

> Already the case for userspace programs, due to virtual memory

Userspace programs can read other userspace programs memory, it's part of the standard win32 api[0].

> Cheats today essentially are like drivers, they do not run as userspace programs. Hence, they can do literally anything on your computer. In terms of privileges, driver code runs at a level as privileged as the operating system. Hence the need for programs that run at the level of the OS kernel to catch the cheats.

Some cheats nowadays do this, but they do this because of anti cheat programs. If there were no anti-cheat programs, they wouldn't have to do this.

Completely agree with your comment. It's something I've [0] been trying to critically evaluate, and the conclusion I came to was the same as yours: hopefully, one day, we'll be able to do this without installing stuff in the kernel-level, but that day is a while away, and for now, kernel-level ACs do appear to be the best solution.

I was aware of the abuses agains indigenous Canadians, but it doesn't compare to the US. Maybe not without but certainly less.

"Higher numbers of hate crimes targeting a race or an ethnicity (+12% to 1,950 incidents) and a sexual orientation (+12% to 491 incidents) accounted for most of the increase in 2022. In 2022, hate crimes targeting a religion were down 15% from 2021 yet remained above the annual numbers recorded from 2018 to 2020."

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/240313/dq240...

Compared to 6,567 in the US during the same year.

Per capita values are indeed higher for Canada due to the population difference.
Judging from their other comment I think they seem to be some kind of nuclear/anti-environmentalist zealot. In this comment they assumed wind power didn't exist. In the other comment they said that my current electricity tariff (3) would get people lynched and crater the economy rather than getting me to put my laundry, dishwasher and car charger on at a different time of day.

This kind of abject extremism is sadly par for the course on topics like this due to the kind of propaganda that the nuclear industry spews out. It generates zealots.
They may not be the theoretical best way, but let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Older research papers were often written with typewriters, leaving blank spots on the page for formulae, which were then (to a greater or lesser degree) put in in a second pass, with methods ranging from straight freehand to using drafting tools for lettering them.

Those are valid points, but irrelevant for the context of this research.

Yes, the computational cost is ridicolous compared to the original game, and yes, it lacks basic things like pre-computing, storing, etc. That said, you could assume that all that can be either done at the margin of this discovery OR over time will naturally improve OR will become less important as a blocker.

The fact that you can model a sequence of frames with such contextual awareness without explictly having to encode it, is the real breakthrough here. Both from a pure gaming standpoint, but on simulation in general.

Now imagine you try do anything intelligence-related, like hiring the best person for a job. If the variation between person A taking your intelligence test in week 1 and week 2 is higher than between person A and person B, you cannot use this metric to decide who is more intelligent — unless you're prepared to run the test dozens of times, and are fine with the "intelligence" of the person you're hiring regularly dipping below and above the "intelligence" of the other person you could've also hired. At that point you can very much go by firmness of handshake instead.
