I would characterise myself, per your original question, of being able to superimpose imagined objects onto my visual field. I would not say that such a superimposed red circle is entirely indistinguishable from a real one, but the experien

I recently ran `df` and was surprised to see that I'd used more than half of the two terabyte SSD in my laptop. So, being apparently atypically proactive, my first action was delete all of the target directories in my Rust projects and

I wouldn't say that no one cares, but obviously many fewer people care when the cost of "recompiling" a model from its open source training pipeline is so high. Also, if you only have the weights, you can still use it to gen

This short story is set in the same universe as Tchaikovsky's excellent "Shroud" novel and in fact it's the same ship. I wonder where it sits in the chronology because I think the ending of Shroud surely permits an inter

I worked for a company which adopted FogBugz. The multiplier it calculated to be applied to developer time estimates quickly diverge towards positive infinity. It's probably fair to share some of the blame for that between us and it. N

The Bank of England used to offer personal bank accounts to their employees, but they phased it out after 2015. Not sure if these accounts were exactly the same as those used for central banking though. https://hrreview.co.uk&#x2

I don't know, you make it sound like a pretty good analogy to me. A coal power plant take a form stored energy which is relatively difficult to use because it has to be burnt with oxygen producing harmful waste products, and turns that

A DVI* signal is logically very similar to a VGA one, but with a different physical layer. The analogue colour signals are replaced with TMDS encoded digital ones, but the pixel clock and sync signal work more or less the same way. I would

As far as old-school 3D effects go, I like this tutorial on ray casting: https://permadi.com/1996/05/ray-casting-tutorial-1/ It's great to see something similar on the effects used in driving games, whic

Moron, Idiot, and Imbecile were coined as precise medical terms by Dr Henry H Goddard in the 1900-10s. Retard(ed) was devised as a euphemism to replace them in the 1960s. Once an unfashionable euphemism falls out of use, people gradually ce
