If they made a low power/mobile version, this could be really huge for embedded electronics. Mass produced, highly efficient "good enough" but still sort of dumb ais could put intelligence in house hold devices like toasters

plot.ly has been able to do WebGL scatter plots with > 10 million points for years. There's a lot of libraries that can do this I think? https://plotly.com/python/performance/

You can probably get any coding agent with this if you put these instructions in the README/CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md or whatever of your repo. It's unclear to me if Bob is working as intended or how we should classify these types

It's actually pretty easy to detect that something is obfuscated, but it's harder to prove that the obfuscated code is actually harmful. This is why we still have a team of humans review flagged packages before we try to get them

When we find malware on any registry (npm, rubygems, pypi or otherwise), we immediately report it to the upstream registry and try to get it taken down. This helps reduce the blast radius from incidents like this and mitigates the damage d

We use a mix of static analysis and AI. Flagged packages are escalated to a human review team. If we catch a malicious package, we notify our users, block installation and report them to the upstream package registries. Suspected maliciou

Signing doesn't protect against maintainer sabotage, but it could theoretically help if the registry were ever compromised. It mainly works to prevent MITM type attacks on the package distribution itself. In the case of central packag

If the self evaluation makes it better, then why not do the self evaluation as part of the normal RAG workflow?

This seems really badly argued. The second version seems much worse and harder to extend. Looks like classic ORM style database abstraction wrapped with hand written types. This type of code usually leads to inflexible data models and in

by 33a 2y ago
The principle of least constraint is the basis for rigid body mechanics based contact forces. This has been known since the days of Gauss and Hamilton, and is fundamentally how restitution and collision forces are derived in Lagrangian mec

by 33a 2y ago
It's still the same principle even in games. If you are trying to explain where forces come from and how resolution works, you need to ground it in something. Otherwise you are just adding extra assumptions onto assumptions.

by 33a 2y ago
Collisions are violations of the pairwise non-intersection constraint between bodies. Collision forces are Lagrange multipliers of these constraints. Collision normals are the (normalized) partial derivatives of the constraint function wrt

Yeah, and it's very weird to bring a non-compete down on an entry level worker like this. Under what circumstances is it even worth it for PDD to spend the resources to enforce and monitor this kind of an agreement? I wonder if there

In china an employer is required to pay something like 30% of your salary if it elects to enforce a non-compete. If the company doesn't pay you, then it's non-enforceable. Assuming you were at some decent compensation, this can

The author sounds burnt out and bitter. I get that he tried really hard and didn't quite make it as far as he wanted, but this reads like he's holding onto a lot of resentment for no good reason. My experience with doing competit
