You are right, that many features in game engines cannot be used yet, especially relighting and reflections. But there are cases where game engines (like Unreal Engine 5) are used, for example in Virtual Production with Ledscreens, where a photorealistic background is needed (3d gaussians do look more realistic and are cheaper to produce than a comparable scene made of polygons)

Supersplat is actually a game engine (but for the web)

> You mentioned Russia, the wall, NBC and typed a lot but didn't really answer the question.

Fair enough, let me be direct: I think the question is stupid and I'm not going to answer it. Trump has spent 4 years in office and run multiple election campaigns that have featured potentially hundreds of hours of coverage of Trump, his policies and opportunities to evaluate them.

With that in the background, old mate wants to discuss a tweet and 40 second clip, probably bought into the conversation by institutions that specialises in lying about what Trump says and taking clips out of context given that NBC News is involved.

And like I said, back in the 2010s fair enough it is a topic to discuss because who knows? Maybe he is Hitler. But it is now 2024, there isn't anything there and the people bringing it up are looking increasingly isolated and unhinged by virtue of crying wolf. Trump says mean things about immigrants. Everyone knows. He doesn't represent a return of the Nazi party, even if a lot of people don't like him or think he is a bad candidate.

I think intention behind reviews is also important. Is it review or is it recommendation. I might have spend lot of time on something, but still not recommend it. Which is reasonable. Many people spend lot of time on things they would not recommend others to spend time on.

Most languages would need at least ²log(3) bits. That’s about 1.58496250072, so that cuts more than 5% in storage.

I guess they’re using the fact that most real-life booleans have the value maybe, but don’t see how to implement this.

Show HN: YC Application Exporter
I’m applying for the W25 batch, and I wanted to share my application with friends for feedback. Since there wasn’t an easy way to do this, I built one myself.

Also, for anyone at YC reading this: could you consider changing the “Finish application” button to “Edit application”? I once spent 10 minutes searching for how to keep editing because I assumed “Finish application” meant submitting it.

Edit: I feel stupid, this has the same functionality as the preview application button, don't install, I will remove it :joy:
> Is anime & JAV to blame here?

Yes, people are going to be interested in a culture based on its cultural exports and Japan punches way above its weight in terms of cultural exports. And it's not just anime and JAV, it's also literature and music. Having content that you want to consume will make it easier to get motivated and to stay motivated. On top of that intermediate and advanced language learning is, to a large extent, driven by media consumption so the availability of a large amount of interesting content simply makes Japanese easier to learn than many other languages.

This is also how nearly everyone learns English.

When China will start exporting interesting content more people will want to learn Chinese and succeed in learning it.

> It's partially telling that you write "2D/3D accelerators" which means that was a different class of thing

It's because that's what they were called at the time. Just because some one calls a rose a different name doesn't mean it doesn't smell the same.

What defines a GPU? it's a compute unit that process graphics, yes it is that simple. There were many cards that did this before Nvidia.

An A.I. chip is just a tensor processing unit a TPU, this not that hard to grasp, I think, in my opinion.
> It makes sense to give all the talks in Japanese to a Japanese speaking audience, but the whole vibe was that English was so impossible that the idea of giving a talk in English was absurd.

When I was a student I took some classes in English, and some in my native language. Having someone speak your native language makes things infinitely easier to understand and more engaging. Even if you're a fluent speaker it's still a foreign language, so it's a mental hurdle. I can compare it to talking to a friend in a casual setting vs having a work meeting.

> He translated it correctly but his teacher said "No, it's grand-grandfather".

It's a trait of hierarchical societies. Questioning your superior is a bigger threat to the society than saying things that are objectively wrong.

While it's a fair argument that English became the lingua franca and if you don't speak it, you will be left behind, I feel like most Americans are completely oblivious to the idea that other cultures might exist. I work for an American company in Europe, and most of Americans don't do any effort to learn the local language, and those who do, simply use local words to express their American thoughts.
> The family emojis seemed cool in someone's head, but then someone tried to make a family with mixed-ethnic parents and the children are locked to one skin color; the only solution presented was to add 7,000 more emojis to Unicode.

Funnily enough, that "someone" is the entire Emoji subcommittee under the Unicode consortium, and pretty much everyone in the consortium represents some vendor company. The solution was proposed mainly because they can be technically composed via far less than 7,000 glyphs and several vendors did implement that as an experiment; ultimately the industry didn't bother, so it was scrapped.
This is an attack on freedom.
> ... that the federal "deep state" doesn't matter, since elections are handled at the lowest level by state authorities - which are tightly controlled in red states, as much as in blue states (if not more, arguably), by the locally-dominant party.

The whole point of the "deep state" concept is that it's not controlled by the formal political structures at all - yes the state bureaucracy is nominally accountable to the elected executive, but in practice it's made up of humans who are unlikely to be 100% loyal to their boss or their organisation's stated mandate (and with the chain of command being pretty long, there's plenty of room for small disalignments to compound). Even in red states (and red counties), the offices of the state bureaucracy are, systematically, often in blue islands. It's got nothing to do with state vs federal, because it's the same kind of people who work in government jobs[1] either way.

[1] OK, "government office jobs" or something, yes the typical military employee is quite different from the kind of people I'm talking about. But you know what I mean.

Considering they're mentioning sharing videos from the steam deck, sure does look like they support Linux.
I don't think lawmakers should describe HOW things are done necessarily. Here it's enough to say that "unless you can be 100% sure your user is above age X, then you can't provide them service Y or feature Z".

It might not even be the desired outcome to have identification, the better outcome could be to have feature Z stripped for all users (for example video feeds based on past watching behavior).
I could ask you the same thing about your feeling about US imperilism. Unlike probably you, I personally felt the effects of US imperilism and its destruction, so yes maybe I do have a bias. Still, Russian imperialism is infantile compared to that of the US. Tell Russia to look at the map where its borders are? Are you kidding? How many US citizens live in the countries they invaded?

And no I do not support Russian imperialism, but nor do I support any government that does someone elses bidding, esspecially when they force their own people to go to war for someone elses interests. Ukraine really is a NATO proxy, and that is what Russia invaded. And do not pretend that Ukraine is united against Russia. The very simple fact is that a significant portion of Ukranians supported and supports Russia.

It is good you mentioned Syria. Russia intervened to save Syria against from same fate that happened to Libya - ie US financed overthrow by Islamic terrorist groups and criminal elements. Both Syria and Libya were at that time strategic Russian allies. I think it is very likely that the US was so pissed off that Russia dared to get in its way in Syria that they intervened in Ukraine.
I'm not wrong. You just interpreted me wrong.

I didn't say you should invest in companies already with a big market cap. I said market cap increasing is the ROI to investors (besides dividends, which is mostly irrelevant when investing in tech companies).

That's exactly how startups work. You invest at a cap of $50m. Its market cap increases to $1 billion. You just made 20x (provided you have liquidity).

As usual, the problem with this is that it assumes a way to perfectly identify somebody on the internet, which in turns mean a way to perfectly identify, in real time, somebody carrying permanently a tracking device with GPS, microphone and camera.

It's crazy that all the things we considered the worst of dystopia in the 80's, thinking nobody would be stupid enough to do, and that those societies in SF books were only distant fictions, are things we are actively seeking now.

Things like "Find my" and "air tags" are already beloved my millions, people use it to track loved ones and they swear by it. Even very intelligent, educated people.

There is such a cognitive dissonance between people swearing the last election meant a likely dictatorship and the same people setting up a tech rope around their necks in case a dictatorship does happen.

My now-dead Jewish grandfather met my grandmother during the French occupation because she was making fake papers. He would be horrified if he knew what we are doing right now with our data.

My German ex was born in East Germany, 11 years before the fall of the Berlin Wall. She thinks people are mad to believe that tracking is not going to be abused.

Ever tried using apple watch without an iPhone?
Sorry if that was ridiculously vague. I don't know a ton about the state of the art, and I'm really not sure there is one - the papers just seem to get more terminology-dense and the research mostly just seems to end up developing new terminology. My grug-brained philosophy is just to make models small enough you can just shove things in and iterate quick enough in colab or a locally hosted notebook with access to a couple 3090s, or even just modern Ryzen/EPYC cores. I like to "evaluate" the raw model using pyro-ppl to do MCMC or SVI on the raw logits on a known holdout dataset.

Really always happy to chat about this stuff, with anybody. Would love to explore ideas here, it's a fun hobby, and we're living in a golden age of open-source structured datasets. I haven't actually found a community interested specifically in static knowledge injection. Email in profile, in (ebg_13 encoded).
Strange. Microsoft seems to struggle with the fact that they named it "Notepad" and some subset of users took this to heart and used it as a note pad, but due to backwards compatibility concerns it must never save rich text formatted files, else it could cause confusing data loss scenarios for users just trying to edit config files. Hence, the odd combination of LLM features added to a text editor that will never support rich text or rendered markdown.
I don't know what to tell you... Minors are supposed to lack freedom compared to adults in a society.
While it's possible they meant something nefarious, I think the goal was probably just to prevent confusion around shared computers. Such confusion might seem unlikely, but when your market is as big as Microsoft's even unlikely things happen all the time.
I would think that's still the case.
Not totally sure but they probably extract video via Chrome DevTools Protocol which uses WebSocket as transport.

WebSockets has become popular only due to this "instant" mindset. IRL, only a handful of messages or notifications need a truly real-time priority such as Bank OTPs, transaction notifs, etc. Others can wait for a few seconds, and other architectures like middleware, client-side AJAX polling, etc. could be both cheaper and sufficient there.

Why is market cap the most important metric? It does not exist in a void. Market cap + P/E or forward P/E, P/B, P/S, etc. are all metrics of high import.

I thought it was obvious that I implied market cap increase by percentage.

When you're evaluating your ROI on tech stocks, the #1 factor is market cap delta between when you bought the shares and now.
Sorry if it was not clear but I was ironic. I don't think that small published books are good credentials.
> I guess the logic is that if a user is lying about their age, it's not the sites problem.

If the law is to have any teeth at all, it should be the problem of the service provider.

Say for example that a banned feature for minors is having media feeds based on past watching behavior. Lacking a reliable age verification it's simple for social media companies to remove the feature entirely for all users, if it's unreasonable or impossible for them to implement age verification.
Are You Getting Enough Vitamin [Tree]?
I don't get this argument, since Trump has called tens of folks nasty names, called Harris a communist, marxist, etc. and called Democrats the "enemy within". Why is the standard different for Dems?
That's true, however we don't know what would happen if the German people elected somebody contrary to the interests of the US. To this date, no German government has implemented any "independent ideas" that bothered the US. When they tried, like with the NS2, they were warned of the consequences, and ultimately agreed to comply.
I wonder when the environmentalists will realize what is going on right now, and start to protest AI usage in general. I was already wondering the same when the open source community started to CI every damn PR and commit, but I guess I was too optimistic with that one.

If it were that great for them, they wouldn't be present in Canada in the first place.
Oh come on, don't pretend you don't know what I mean.
Let me rephrase this:

If you aren't using a monorepo, you need some versioning process, as well as procedural systems in place to ensure that everyone's dependencies, stay reasonably up to date. Otherwise, you end up deferring pain in really unwanted ways, and require sudden, unwanted upgrades through api incompatibility due to external pressure.

This also has the downside of allowing api-owning teams to make changes willy-nilly and break backwards compatibility because they can just do it behind SemVer, and then clients of the api need to own the process of migrating to the new version.

A monorepo fixes both of these: you cannot get out of sync, so it is the api-owning team's responsibility to upgrade clients, since they can't break the API otherwise. Similarly, you get a versioning process for free, and clients can never be using out of date or out of support versions of a dependency.

Services work approximately the same either way, since you can't assume synchronous upgrades across service/rpc boundaries anyway.

I see from Wiktionary that it was originally a legal concept, expressed in medieval Latin.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/exception_that_proves_the_rul...

Just as you say, the point is that a rule is implied by a specific exception, as in the example "free entry on Sundays", which implies the unstated rule "pay for entry on other days".

The exception weakens the rule, it's true, but may also reveal the rule.

I admit it worded much stronger than it warrants. Still, the point stands, I would have expected Russia to stay put not not mess with the NATO weakening process that Trump was engaging in. I'm not saying it would have been a good outcome for the world, because it would likely just have delayed the invasion, and probably been more successful when it happened.
Luckily, Nvidia has no such liquidity issues given that it's the most traded stock in the world.

https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/most-active/

So yes, Nvidia's market cap is meaningful. If the reported market cap is at $3.5t and you want to sell your shares, you can easily find someone else who values Nvidia at $3.5t to buy them.

Trump said he wanted to make polls that were "bad for him" illegal, and to take broadcast licenses away from networks that criticized him. DeSantis tried to take an abortion ad off air in Florida since he disagreed with it. Evidently, the Republicans don't care much about 1A so I'm not sure what you voted for.

As for hoaxes, conservative media has been highly effective at this (to the point where Joe Biden had to repudiate the FEMA hoax after the hurricane).

As far as I know, they still need classical encryption methods (with something like shared secret key or public key for authentication) to detect active man in the middle attacks where the attacker prevents the parties connecting to each other and then pretending to both parties to be the other party by creating his own "messages" as if they came from the other party. Or at least to have some kind of additional trusted physical medium where it is impossible to prevent the parties communicating directly, capturing their "messages" and then sending your own modified "messages" instead -- perhaps based on some kind of timing etc.

And if you still have to rely to classical encryption methods to make sure you know the identity of the other party (to prevent active man in the middle attack), why not just use classical encryption methods for everything else as well, instead of using quantum key distribution?
Even in this case it is non-sensical. Dunno about Linux, but on Windows you'd just feed the GPU window surface into a GPU hardware encoder via a shared texture with basically 0 data transmission, and get a compressed stream out.
At this point the memory:vcpu ratio is the defining characteristic of main general purpose C/M/R series, I'd think it would be pretty disrupting to change that significantly anymore. And they got also the special extra-high memory X series available. I would say ec2 is pretty flexible in this regard, you have options for 2/4/8/16/32 gigabytes per vcpu. It's mostly problem if you need even less memory than what C series provide, or need some special features.
