I congratulate you on an accurate diagnosis, I think all three are true. I don't remember the details of Excession very well as I didn't actually like it and relied on an LLM too much. That was a mistake. Some of these were my own

Impressive stuff. I wonder if he's inspired by Ian Hubert's work?

A better example I've seen for the theorem is that if you take a paper map of a country, messily schrunch it up into a ball and drop it somewhere in the country, there will be at least one point on the map that is exactly above the cor

Do you have a recommendation for how to get into ASP? I've read the clingo docs, but it has never clicked.

I think you've misunderstood. Megabyte scales better with context window length. I don't know if they're saying the training data / compute are any more efficient.

Ah yes, AI doesn't have any significant use cases and is only good for party tricks, but also it's going to be used by paymasters to erode wages. If it's useless, it can hardly replace jobs, can it?

I expect it's impossible to do so without damaging them, and it's no longer necessary with modern imaging techniques.

I know programmers are prone to legal hacks that don't make sense, but I'm curious whether the following would work. As I understand it, it's ok to reference a Pantone Color by name without a license (nominative fair use), bu

It means round-the-clock as in "it works during the day and night", rather than literally non-stop. For example, if I said that security did "round the clock patrols", you wouldn't assume they patrol every second of

So, just to be clear, you have almost no Unity objects in your scene. The tree renderer reads data from your core game lib, and draws it. Which Unity API do you use for the actual drawing?

I sell an game development tool on the Unity Asset store. Since the peak died down, it's now somewhat under $500/mo, but still does well in occasional sales.

In most languages Subset would be called a trait or interface, rather than general inheritance. You've picked an example with no fields or overriden methods, so it's impossible for it to demonstrate the shortcomings of inheritance

I see he often places multiple cards flat against each other - probably gives the structure more weight against random gusts and jostles.

You don't mean 100% accuracy, that means mistakes are impossible. Perhaps your error rate is very rare, but it's a bit concerning you don't attempt to quantify it.

MIT is already an extremely permissive license. Seems kinda mean to complain that something is merely 90% good because you are comparing to something 99% good. What sort of problems do you envisage having with an MIT license that public dom

Strangly fixated on how "free software" is not a metonym. I wonder what the author would make of free speech, let alone the fact that grammer is completely irrelevant to the point at hand. It then marshalls enough other bad argume

Can someone explain the phyics of flying a helicopter in such low density atmosphere? It must be less efficient than on earth, but evidently efficiency isn't proportional to density or else it could not fly at all.

I think it is more complex in most dimensions, except for render pipeline and asset size. Physics engines are off the shelf, even in AAA games, they're not really where the bulk of time is spent coding. Not to mention all the games y

Given videos are usually 10mins and music 3.5 mins, and youtube adverts are both more frequent and more targeted, that might even explain the last factor of 10.
