Focus instead on attribution. Yes, OpenAI took the last tiny step in the process of solving this problem (= proving it). But it cannot attribute credit to all the mathematicians whose chat logs from the past few months were fed into its tr

Do you not log the training data? Seems like you should be able to just check what was in the training data. To not keep track is just sloppy work and certainly unprofessional science.

No it's the government deciding what you are and are not allowed to say in your grant.

the mention of which can now result in research grants or other agreements with the federal government getting nixed. That sounds like censorship to me.

Go a little further. Think about "how." How do slot machines get people to waste their money for hours-on-end? How does TikTok use short-form video to get people to scroll for hours-on-end? What is the mechanism?

Counterpoint: The format is bad. The constant stream of videos, skipping between videos at (relatively) your own pace, the anticipation about the next video; it's similar to electronic gambling machines.

Apple devs are probably doing something with the touch returned by the touchUpInside callback. This is an extremely, extremely common bug in iOS apps, not just with Apple developed software. Devs love the symmetry of their touch handling co

Ehh I have been using Swift from the beginning and I disagree with you and the parent. Swift was "good" before the addition of property wrappers and the result builder syntax. That's when lots of the weird "features&quot

PS5 completely supports mouse and keyboard at a hardware level. It's up to the game though if they support it. The new Doom games don't support it on console even though M&KB are obviously supported on Windows for example. Oth

Awesome! Do you have any resources on, uhhh, "hardware accelerating" a software renderer. i.e. using SIMD (or math hardware like the vector hardware you can access with the Accelerate[0] framework on Apple devices). [0] https:&#x

SceneKit is actually just straight up deprecated now: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/scenekit/ I imagine it will still be around for a long time because Apple and a lot of large third party apps use it

Yeah @IBOutlets are generally the one thing that are allowed to be implicitly-unwrapped optionals. They go along with using storyboards & xibs files with Interface Builder. I agree that you really should just crash if you are attempting

There actually is an analytical solution using a power series that actually converges (Karl Sundman's work). Unfortunately, the universe still mocks our attempts. Though the series converges, it does so incredibly slowly. From Wikipedi

It worries me how many people prefer using AI over doing their own thinking. How much of your life will you "live" on autopilot? Hollowing out your own soul little-by-little when you do things like that.

But will it actually get better or will it just get faster and more power efficient at failing to pair parentheses/braces/brackets/quotes?

And emulation.

Those operating systems allow it, but Apple does not. Agree that it is a total waste.

Yes that is my point. What business owners consider "significant" and what sane people consider significant are often quite different.
20.
by Pulcinella 11mo ago
We need actual data to decide how significant is "significant." Otherwise you will just have businesses complaining no one wants to work for "significantly" higher pay (a whole $0.05/hour more).

Perhaps by the time someone's at the shitting at the seat phase of a gambling habit the neurological feedbacks arising from the intermittent reward schedule have become too strong for him to resist on his own. Bingo. The machines don

Why would many, many, many people choose to piss and shit themselves in public instead of stopping for a few minutes to use the restroom? Why would someone choose the push a button every 5 seconds to the point where it ruins their life? Put

So why do you think people continue to gamble, even after it has ruined their and their families lives and finances? Slot machine addicts will literally void their bladder rather than stop playing for 5 minutes to use the restroom.

Why don't you just explain what you want people to know instead of making everyone else guess what you are thinking?

The hardware 3D audio acceleration (basically fancy HRTFs) is also really cool, but almost no 3rd party games use it. I've had issues with Xbox instant resume. Lots of "your save file has changed since the last time you played, so

I would agree with this. A lot of PS5 games using UE5+ with all it's features run at sub 1080p30 (some times sub 720p30)upscaled to 1440p/4K and still look & run way, way worse that TLOU2/RDR2/Death Stranding 1/

You still have to manually place lights. Where do you think the rays come from (or rather, go to).

A perpetual, irrevocable "lease" is just be a "sale". You are just selling a copy at that point. Subscription-based/SAAS software is leased. I know it's pedantic, but to me the key thing is that it is the righ
