Scheme is the minimal one. Almost like comparing sh with zsh.
Comparisons with the big internet successes of 25-30 years ago are pretty wild anyway, on the basis that Google is pretty much the poster child for tech founders letting a professional manager install a hierarchy to do the running-big-company stuff, and Pierre Omidyar not only left day to day management as soon as eBay floated but also made a point of moving out the Valley and portraying himself as a philanthropist rather than a business leader.

The original essay felt more like scrabbling around for a reason why founders felt their companies were less effective with more levels of hierarchy whilst somehow missing the essential truth that managing a team of 1000 is harder than managing a team of 15 no matter how you do it. I'm just here for all the wild takes on founder greatness and founder obligation that came with it!

You technically could use other distance metrics but embeddings are generated from models trained to maximize similarity under specific metrics. Usually that is cosine similarity.

A trivial example of how it matters is the vectors (0,1) and (0,2) which have cosine distance 0 but euclidean distance 1.

I answered the parent why I thought some one might pursue suing a weaker entity for the same sins as a more powerful one instead of going after the powerful one first as part of a logical strategy. And I also mused why I thought that wouldn't help in this case. This information suggests either they thought Instagram was weaker before or that they aren't pursuing a strategy that I don't think would work anyway. That doesn't change my opinion on the hypothetical strategy they might be pursuing.

I think you missed the point of the article.

As someone here in the heart of it let me elucidate:

1) Residents here on the ground were told Starlink is already active in your area. Just connect through the site with your address. No one was worried about getting "retail dishes" they were told Starlink was providing free satellite internet across the devastated areas, all they had to do was open a website, enter their address and type $0 and boom, they're connected.

2) No one here even COULD get a dish delivered on the fly if they wanted to. Most roads are still to this day broken and impassable.

3) NO ONE HERE THOUGHT THIS WAS A STANDARD "FREE TRIAL" SITUATION. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ACTUAL RELIEF, NO STRINGS ATTACHED, NO PERSONAL HARDWARE OBLIGATION.

Ultimately, you're making the mistake of thinking this is an article explaining a free trail for those with power, existing internet, passable roads, or existing hardware. The point this piece is making is that it was false advertising to people desperate to let their families know they weren't dead.

It's probably easy from the comfort of your mother's basement out of Helene's wake to spout all of this but a) you missed the point of the article and b) no one gave a fuck about retail dishes. They were told it was available via a website as HELP. As a kindness.

I'd love to see your source on 2000 free dishes. Ask anyone local here when the storm hit if they knew that, how to connect to them (without internet already). I guarantee no one knew until days later.
Also, avoid making errors like summing different currencies.

I'm not proposing a change in model size; rather, I'm suggesting a higher dimensionality within the current structure. There’s an interesting paper on LLM explainability, which found that individual neurons often represent a superposition of various data elements.

What I’m advocating is a substantial increase in this aspect—keeping model size the same while expanding dimensionality. The "curse of dimensionality" illustrates how a modest increase in dimensions leads to a significantly larger volume.

While I agree that backpropagation isn’t a complete solution, it’s ultimately just a stochastic search method. The key point here is that expanding the dimensionality of a model’s space is likely the only viable long-term direction. To achieve this, backpropagation needs to work within an increasingly multidimensional space.

A useful analogy is training a small model on random versus structured data. With structured data, we can learn an extensive amount, but with random data, we hit a hard limit imposed by the network. Why is that?

Please try to read this honestly I promise I'm not screwing with you or misunderstanding.

Outside of this conversation mixed DPI for about 20 years has meant having more than one output of substantially differing DPI most commonly 4K + 1080p.

X11

Under X11 the idea of low DPI applications doesn't exist because broadly speaking every toolkit under the sun supporting integer scaling to deal with this common case about 15 years ago. Individual apps further cannot not support viewport scaling either because it happens at a layer out of scope of the application.

To test I did a search for gtk2 and loaded up fsv a gtk2 port of file system visualizer copyright 1999. It and the QT6 apps released last month I have all appear correctly scaled across high and low and high dpi monitors. The bugaboo of "low dpi apps" just flat out doesn't exist. Read that again if it doesn't make sense.

Wayland

Now leaving the Kindom of X the specter of low DPI apps appears. Suddenly instead of a unified identically scaled virtual space we have little isolated X kingdoms sprinkled inside of wayland space like pimples on a dogs ass. Because we are no longer playing at scaling in them down outside the apps purview the app must now explicitly support scaling and behold the only low DPI apps on the Linux ecosystem hath appeared!

ONLY WAYLAND HAS LOW DPI APPS

Worse its users mostly gnome users smugly assume that X users suffer from problems only they have but worse.

Remember GTK2 app from 1999 on 4K monitor, QT6 app from 2024 on 1080p monitor no manual adjustment perfect scaling. Put them side by side on the 4K perfect scaling. No farking about with anything ever.

Recycling, as is, means reducing something to its component materials. We need to incentivize manufacturers such that it means reducing something to its component parts. Testable parts, with standard interfaces.

Perhaps we should have that bar code link to a prepaid account which handles shipping it back to the manufacturer. Things will be more repairable if making the most of a broken one was the manufacturer's problem.

They're rookie numbers compared to peer-to-peer combat which was last seen in World War II and arguably today in Ukraine, but my point was that the United States and at least some western countries are very much willing to engage in that intense form of combat that the OP suggested that they weren't willing to engage in. Not just the Second Battle of Faluja, but also various engagements in Afghanistan to root out the Taliban.

To your point, I don't disagree that serious, hardcore combat with huge casualties wouldn't set well with the American public, but I would suggest that you're basing that hypothesis on how we reacted to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and as such it's not really comparable because a war with, let's say China, is going to elicit a different response altogether.

Even so, we spent how long in Afghanistan? How long in Iraq? We were kicking in doors still even with a population that thought "what's the point of this?" for a decade +. Imagine if a real war kicks off - I'm not so sure we would be hesitant to fight if there were serious issues at stake.

Thanks for your service too. I was also in a support role during OIF. Thankfully it was rather uneventful for me personally.

Thanks for commenting. I'm still learning Kotlin and I overlooked the usage of get() with vals. This will be the next syntactic sugar into the mix. I think it makes sense.

When I was designing the API, I created methods like toUSD() and toEUR(). But with 306+ circulating/tender currencies and 2000+ cryptocurrencies, I thought it could lead to a bad experience when using code completion.
Respectfully, this correction is wrong on most counts.

Per Musk and the official starlink detail document, it's available for existing and new customers in affected areas.

Starlink on X said they sent ~500 kits as of 10/1, not 2000. Do you have a source for the 2k number?

In games, you can possibly get away with this. Most other people need to worry about things like string collation (locale-aware sorting) for user-supplied text.
Duplication and backups are a requirement of life IMO.
There were high-end WinCE and Symbian devices with large displays and no physical keyboards (or sliders where keyboard doesn't encroach on screen size). To remind, first-gen iPhone was 3.5" @ 320x480 in 2007; for comparison, Dell Axim was 3.7" @ 480x640 in 2005, and by 2007 there were some WinMo handhelds with 480x800.

The thing that really made iPhone different was capacitive touchscreen, and the OS designed around that. WinMo pretty much required the stylus for many things.
Oof, certainly sounds like a miserable train wreck.

These are the sort of ideas that, at best, seem like they should be explored with an isolated R&D approach, or simply left to academics.

And, if they are executed realtime with a companies mainline workforce and somehow succeed, it should be clearly stated and understood that it was—like much "success"—by no small amount of sheer luck (or happenstance via uncontrolled factors, if you prefer), force of will, and patience by the team as a whole, rather than the usual narrative which is the inspired actions of single prescient individual (who will then go on to write a book and give TED Talks about an approach that absolutely cannot be applied anywhere else and does not scale.)

I don’t agree. There were old tanks, sure, but regular laptops were plastic and flimsy. Even PowerBooks would slightly flex when handled by the edges.

Apple led the way with the unibody aluminum case and now even midrange laptops are pretty sturdy.

The best part about the unions is there are 50k on strike for 25k jobs. How? Because we already paid off 25k of them so that we could do containerization. That's how it goes. You pay the danegeld and you get more Vikings.

> The fundamental problem here is that no standardized shader ISA or even bytecode exists, and there is no material incentive for any vendor to create or agree upon one.

It's not really a material incentive issue. GPU instructions are "microcode". The instructions can contain timing and dependency information that is specific to the underlying microarchitecture. That information is not standardizable, and even if it was, it just kicks the can down the road by adding yet another shader program translation step from something "standard" to hardware specific. CPUs translate (or fetch) ISA to microcode while running, but that's a chip area cost. If every SM/CU needed a hardware ISA to microcode translator, that would be fewer SMs/CUs per GPU. My opinion is that GPUs need custom microinstruction ISAs to stay competitive with each other, and that will always require some form offline shader translation.

That’s not the case globally. Heathrow for instance has strict slot time ranges. As does Schiphol.

Neither the UK nor the Netherlands choose to not enforce slot misuse. We’re not talking only about the US and the FAA as examples here.

Whether it’s an appropriate model for ports and especially truck traffic at ports is a different topic, one I’m not qualified to speak on. I was just pointing out the misconception on how airline traffic at airports works and how it’s certainly not just a first-come, first-served ad hoc model.
Since the model tape isn't actually infinite, this machine has a finite state space, and termination is therefore decidable. No Turing Award to obtain here …
A question then, I have run some game servers in my time that had quite advanced console options and scripts to run, in Lua, which I then saw as maybe the most common language in this area. But I wondered where and why Lua which is its own full language was kept to a certain part of the game and running instance, and where the other runtime and the games main language differed. How is that division of responsibility separated or chosen I guess?
Are there any businesses that both have unions and grant employees equity? If so, can the employees transfer their equity to the union, perhaps in lieu of paying dues? I feel like it could be a good way to align incentives, but I'm not sure it's actually feasible in the US.

I suppose unions at public companies could always just buy the stock regardless of employee equity grants.

I often hear the advice to "make games, not game engines", and it's refreshing to hear it from someone who is actually working on an engine themselves, because usually when I hear this advice it's from devs who use Unity/Godot/Unreal, and the implication I get is that if you're not using one of those engines, you're wasting your time and won't ever make a game.

But I'd say there's a middle ground between using an existing engine and making your own general-purpose engine from scratch. I've been making a 2D RTS using C++/SDL, and it's taken me longer to write it this way than if I had used an existing engine, but in only a few months I've reached the point where I have a prototype and have had multiple playtests and am iterating the prototype based on feedback from those playtests.

So, while the advice "make games, not game engines" is still definitely true, it doesn't mean that if you code "from scratch" that your game will necessarily be a long 4-year engine project (unless you want it to be!). The trick is to keep the code specific to the game you're working on and to avoid the urge to abstract everything / make everything general-purpose.

You are straight up making incorrect assumptions

I doubt it.

about something I participated in first hand

Being in the room doesn't mean understanding every aspect of rendering and that is fine. Even people finishing shots don't need to worry about this stuff, it's not usually a big sticking point.

but you’re simply wrong

I'm not. Downvotes, name dropping and getting upset don't change math.

some people truly do not want a Gaussian

I'm sure that's true, but I'm saying that most people don't realize that by the time they widen a sharp filter with negative lobes to compensate, blur the image slightly somewhere or just have an image go through the whole pipeline, it just isn't gaining anything and it possibly introduces some aliasing. It doesn't mean people aren't out there doing it anyway.

You said yourself that people were fighting aliasing on shrek, although you haven't distinguished between edge aliasing, texture aliasing and shadow aliasing, which is a big red flag.

Historically and before 4K existed, resolutions were referred to vertically, from 240i to 480p to 720p to 1080p.

And before HD broadcast resolutions, 2k for film was something talked about all day every day.

I haven’t heard 2k much and it’s confusing next to 1080p

It wasn't confusing before 1080p (and 1080i), it was the standard and that was long before HD video. Where do you think the terms 4k and 8k come from?

Either way your blanket claim that resolution is referred to by the horizontal size is false.

This is just how it was and is in film. You're mixing in HD video resolutions which went in the other directions.

In any event, the whole point I was making was that even lower than 2k resolutions were still too sharp for film, so an extremely slight softening from the pixel filter doesn't matter. Exposure to 35mm film is WAY more softening.

I think you aren't absorbing this fact. 35mm film is soft, and whatever edge comes out of the renderer is essentially blurred again by going out to film. Because of this there is no way to just look at CG printed to film and just know what pixel filter was used, that information is long gone and pretending otherwise is a hallucination.

You haven’t corrected anything other than my dusty film processing terminology,

I corrected more than that and you keep getting caught up on resolution without acknowledging that there are different types of aliasing from different sources and that 35mm film means lots of detail is lost.

If someone was talking about running a marathon said "I like these sneakers, this shirt, these tires, these shorts.." you would start to think you aren't talking about the same thing and that they don't have perfect knowledge of a niche subject, which is fine.
This is also why when we eventually do have a breakthrough in AI or quantum computing, it wont change anything. We'll just use AI to serve ads on Quantum Facebook, or something equally useless.
