It’s amazing how everyone thinks this sculpture’s message doesn’t apply to them. “My side’s flags are different, it’s the other side’s flags that are bad”. So many people here making this argument. It’s beyond parody, yet really so predicta

No, you don’t understand, it’s only British national flags that are bad!

Is it? Most people I know who have flags proudly displayed are left wing and their flags are usually one of: the Palestinian flag, the ukrainian flag, the LGBT rainbow flag, or the trans flag.

I wasn't asking it to define it. I came up with the list of principles first, then spent ages trying to think of a suitable name for them. It was quite gratifying when ChatGPT, without any context, when asked to guess what the term &qu

When I posted about this project here and on reddit a few months ago I got a lot of people asking for advice and learning resources. I promised I'd one day provide a detailed write-up explaining everything, so here it is :)

unique_ptr is much better because then each object has a sole owner, which makes object lifetimes much easier to reason about and you can't end up with cyclic references causing memory leaks.

I wrote a game of Tetris in JavaScript with SVG many years ago. It had nice graphics and was smoothly animated. I hadn’t heard of anyone else using SVG like that at the time. I also made a game called Pro Office Calculator (available on Ste

That’s not what I was saying at all. I was using Go as an example of what the experience of being helplessly outclassed by a superior intelligence is like: you are losing and you don’t know why and there’s nothing you can do.

I agree unfortunately. I might be a bit of an extremist on this issue. I genuinely think that building agentic ASI is suicidally stupid and we just shouldn’t do it. All the utopian visions we hear from the optimists describe unstable outcom

As someone who is terrified of agentic ASI, I desperately hope this is true. We need more time to figure out alignment.

Couldn't agree more with the necessity for fast feedback loops. I've experienced the opposite, and it's not fun. I worked with Clojure/ClojureScript (mostly ClojureScript) for a couple of years many years ago. It was the

Thanks, I've made a new branch called display_fixes. Let me know if it works

Hi, thanks for the update. I’ll make this change when I get a chance. Thanks

Interesting, I’ve only tried it on two machines - my (fairly old) laptop with integrated graphics and my desktop with an RTX4060. I’ve also tried it on the desktop on Windows in a Linux VM running Ubuntu 24.04. It runs way smoother on the l

Double-entry bookkeeping is very easy to understand once you ditch the ridiculous "credit" and "debit" terminology. Essentially, the goal is to keep the accounting equation true at all times. The equation is: Equity = As

The short answer to the first question is… not great. There are no Vulkan constructs corresponding to those things. Vulkan lets you run compute shaders written in GLSL, HLSL, or any language for which there exists a compiler that outputs SP
