I drew "girl, born in the Balkans in 3208 BCE", which I find super remarkable since this fits the place and time for a relatively small population of people who spoke Proto-Indo-European as their native language.

Isn't the same as just taking every triangle from the mesh, calculating the volume of a prism-like polytope between it and its projection on one the planes, and then taking it with a + sign if its projection is oriented in one directio

With my minimal steering Fable wrote 20k LoC porting JAX library to Mac with Apple Silicon. It currently passes 98.4% test from the original JAX test suite. The performance is about 10x compared to the CPU on the same machine (I'm test

Within OS consistency is much less of thing a thing than Web design conventions. Windows by itself has had several different UI frameworks over the years, so different "native" Windows programs can look completely different from e

They are comparing it to Haiku 4.5. Not Opus, not Sonnet, but Haiku, the smallest Anthropic model, 3 versions old.

I don't often use AI to cleanup my texts, but when I do, I fully own the output. I make a conscious decision whether to leave in every AI suggestion or not. The final text _is_ what I want to say.

It's a good advice, if you are watching on a reference monitor in a dark room.

James Cameron is one of the few who do this.

I think whether any text is written with the help of AI is not the main issue. The real issue is that for texts like police reports a human still has to take full responsibility for its contents. If we preserve this understanding, than the

In all seriousness, XSLT looked stillborn even 25 years ago when it was introduced.

If they are replacing a fixed cosmological constant by a model with variable dark energy, doesn't it introduce extra parameters that describe the evolution of dark energy over time? If so, wouldn't it lead to overfitting? Can over

Probably not for 32” monitor, but I think 8k would be noticeably better for a 43”.

The plan is to improve AI agents from their current ~intern level to a level of a good engineer.

This article seems to argues from the way scientific discoveries are made by humans. It seems to me that its gist is similar to some article from the 80s that claims that computers will never play good chess, or an article from the 2000s th

If we achieved local maximum at something, the only way to progress is to make a big leap that brings you out of it. The trouble is that most of such big leaps are unsuccessful. For every case like you are describing there are probably hund

ZIP codes are a simple approximation, which does their job good enough in most cases. The alternatives that the author suggests are much more complicated, both in terms of the implementation and in terms of convincing the user to give you t

I would assume some limit no higher than 2^64, since all common file systems have file size limits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems

Government employees are never elected. They are hired by the elected officials. In this case the general public in the US was aware of DOGE before the election and chose to vote for it.

To be precise, JSON was a replacement for XML, not the other way around. And the problem with XML was that it's way to verbose and difficult to write by hand, so it's exactly the opposite of the direction YAML/JSON5/...

This entirely depends on the subscription fee, doesn't it? The amount of ad revenue that the service is getting for you is limited, even accounting for the fact that as a paying user you might push the price of ads up a bit. If you set

It is always possible to have several tiers of subscriptions, a cheap tier with some additional feature and ads, and a higher tier with no ads at all. I am perfectly willing to pay extra to support a website or service that I'm using,

Because for that to make sense you need to have some strong evidence that the resulting status quo will be better for consumers than the present situation. You don't break monopolies just for the sake of breaking monopolies. You do tha

It sounds like you want to artificially make the dominant product worse (i.e. non-free) just to make the life of competitors easier.
