The easiest way is to keep track of the text's edit history, keeping a block of edits over time and having them signed by a timestamp authority. The final edit history can then be inspected by some external authority, then signed if th

You can buy a Gros Michel banana from Miami Fruit, although they are quite expensive (almost $40 for a single banana). There are reviews of the banana on YouTube as well - I highly recommend the Weird Explorer channel if you want video revi

In my mind the main problem here is setting up the environment for training the LLM and ensuring that there's enough high quality training data for consumption. Getting an environment set up for a single project is non-trivial - here I

I bought the Asus 6K ProArt on launch, replacing an older 4k 27" Dell monitor. The new monitor is definitely an upgrade, but not as great as I was hoping. The matte coating is by far the worst part of the monitor. It's not bad eno

I guess it would be good to also see a comparison between IL2CPP and Core CLR by the post author!

Will the move to CoreCLR give any speed ups in practice if the release build is complied with IL2CPP anyway? On all the games that I've worked on, IL2CPP is one of the first things that we've enabled, and the performance differenc

Yes, you can relax logic gates into continuous versions which makes the system differentiable. An AND gate can be constructed with the function x*y and NOT by 1-x (on inputs in the range [0,1]. From there you can construct a NAND gate, whic

I have aphantasia and have been practicing meditation with the goal of improving the condition for a couple years. I have seen some minor improvements - when I'm in a pretty relaxed state I can see some visuals, but am not able to cont

In my experience the main benefit of functional programming is function purity. I am completely fine with mutation inside of a function since the all of the mutation logic is self-contained in a single small block of text. I think everyone

I'm not so certain that non-desk jobs will be safe either. What makes the current LLMs great at programming is the vast amount of training data. There might be some other breakthrough for typical jobs - some combination of reinforcemen

I do networked game development on Windows and I've found the clumsy program to be very valuable to simulate adverse network conditions. You can set it up to simulate arbitrary network latency, packet loss and so forth. https:/&#

Perhaps the reason modern programs use so much memory vs what I remember from the Windows XP era is precisely because we went to 64 bits. Imagine how many pointers are used in the average program. When we switched over to 64 bits, the memor

I think the most likely path forward for commercialization/widespread use is to use AI as a post-processing filter for low poly games. Imagine if you could take low quality/low poly assets, run it through a game engine to add some

As a videogame developer, I've always thought this take was just silly. I couldn't even imagine spending the time and effort into integrating someone else's assets into my game and keeping things balanced. The closest thing t

I wrote a blog [1] a couple years ago about this solution - it turns out it is possible to use timestamp authority servers in combination with hashing functions to create a verified edit history. Like the other comment said, it merely start

There used to be an app called Blendle that I used for this purpose. Nowadays I just instantly go to archive.is, so I guess nobody wants my microtransactions.

I'm the developer of Juniper, a functional reactive programming language for the Arduino. It's very possible to run high level code on small devices. This even includes things like closures, which Juniper allocates on the stack!

I've also never been able to get these P2P web file transfer tools (FilePizza, ShareDrop) to work without issues. Transfers inevitably fail partway through, especially for large files. This seems to happen even in ideal network conditi

Isn't any pure language easy to parallelize? What advantage do interaction nets offer over a parallelizing compiler for a purely functional language?

It would be great if we could also go ahead and fix subpixel anti-aliasing for OLED screens. People have been been trying for years to get Microsoft's attention about this issue. [1] The subpixel layout of OLED screens is different tha

I've worked at military contractor jobs for years, and there are many people there who believe this - if the taxpayer is paying and the software isn't classified, then it should be open source. Ghidra is a great example of this, a

What about using TPM modules? I've been researching these modules lately, primarily for use in online video games. From my understanding, you can use TPMs to effectively ban players (TPM ban) based on their hardware. This would mean ev

Functions that use a field called x but do not use a field called y can use the type {x=int, ... 'a}, right? The main difficulty I see with row polymorphism is with field shadowing. For example if you have a record with type {a=bool, x

This stuff happens in Computer Science too. Back around 2018 or so I was working on a problem that required graph matching (a relaxed/fuzzy version of the graph isomorphism problem) and was trying algorithms from many different papers.

One thing I'd like to see is to take a game rendered with low poly assets (or segmented in some way) and use a diffusion model to add realistic or stylized art details. This would fix the consistency problem while still providing tangi

Some people here have mentioned microtransactions for news, and that reminded me of an app I used to use called Blendle. Back in the day you used to be able to top off your account and pay <$1 for each news article. I used to use it quit
