This reminds of Magnus Carlsen saying that if he were to cheat, all he would need would be a signal to spend more time on the current move.

I think using a cotton bag 173 times to beat plastic bags and a mug 1,000 times to beat disposable cups sounds completely reasonable.

Nice, I've always wanted my desktop PC to be coupled to the keyboard.

This guy has an interesting publication history, programming books and what looks like evolutionary biology from a creationist perspective.

A lot of this thinking still predates the Vatican 2 significantly, I think this person has made their mind up and is working backwards.

I don't think performance has got much to do with tinkering. IMO the real benefit of Zig is you get the flexibility of C with the ergonomics of a modern language. I like Python as a tool language, and I am very impressed by projects li

I found your previous comment chain on the matter, in which you conflated Catholicism and Conservatism, the second of which I'm sure you have your own personal definition, as there is no Conservative church that decides on doctrine. Ca

I'm slightly baffled it existed in the first place, considering they also used the small s, and it looks almost exactly like the f. To be fair, I am equally confused that so many modern typefaces don't distinguish I and l.

While less typographically interesting, this is a much clearer treatment of Elements.

I've only used Zulip when checking out the Lean Zulip a few years ago, and I thought it was an infinitely better interface than Discord for serious discussion, and also much easier for lurkers to find information. I wish more projects

I don't think LLMs are that chaotic, you can replace words in an input at get a similar answer, and they are very good at dealing with typos. They are definitely not interpretable, I was reading some stuff from mechanistic interpretabi

LLMs are deterministic, the same model under the same conditions will produce the same output, unless some randomness is purposefully injected. Neural networks in general can be thought of as universal function approximators.

I doubt a fork would ever happen, Blender, being computer graphics software, has a huge knowledge gap between it's developers and it's users.

That "syntactic sugar" encompasses the entire value proposition of markdown, there's nothing stopping you using Typst to author blog posts or take notes, they even have HTML export.

Scripts are typically turing complete, config files are typically not.

I wonder if well designed "mutable" operating systems like Arch and Alpine that are going to beat NixOS etc. in the long run. An install script is strictly more powerful that a declarative config language, and typically less verbo

Not a fan of “texture healing”, a very convoluted and unsatisfying way of fixing a minor problem with monospace fonts, I’d be more interested in seeing letterforms redesigned to be more optically balanced within the grid, another commenter

The Osprey's accident rate is not that bad, and the US Army have ordered a new smaller tiltrotor, the v280.

I don’t think PL theory driven design produces good systems languages.

Do you think Vulkan will become "nice" to use, could it ever be as ergonomic as Metal is supposed to be?

Is webgpu a good standard at this point? I am learning vulkan atm and 1.3 is significantly different to the previous APIs, and apparently webgpu is closer in behavior to 1.0. I am by no means an authority on the topic, I just see a lack of

Having no CSD at all is unacceptable on small screens IMHO, far too much real estate is taken up by a title bar, you can be competitive with SSD by making them really thin, but then they are harder to click on and impossible with touch inpu

I use a lot of obscure libraries for scientific computing and engineering. If I install it from pacman or manage to get an AUR build working, my life is pretty good. If I have to use a Python library the faff becomes unbearable, make a venv
