Who is "we" and while pacing is good, I'm way more uncomfortable with the frontier being controlled by a few companies that managed to predatorially gobble all the world's human-created work as training data, before ever

Oh I see, never mind! You have to use the "preset" pulldown to select different surfaces. I wonder how feasible it would be for other people to add new ones!

I only see one picture, the Klein bottle on the front page. Are there more? Maybe it's my browser settings or something like that. Firefox 140.14.0esr. Thanks!

If you're going to preprocess the polynomial, maybe you want to evaluate it at many different points. But then why not use the FFT?

Could they have just put "$1000" in the first line of the article? In fact they didn't mention it at all, and I had to look in the AMA zone.

Yeah like others it's the 24h that's least believable here. There have been MPC/MPW (multi project chip/multi project wafer) services that could deliver 0.35um parts at comparable cost, but with several month turnaround

I don't have the impression that a $10 FPGA can implement the equivalent of an 80386. I can believe it of a $1000 FPGA. I don't know what the right intermediate point would be. But big FPGA's are very expensive, mostly bec

Aren't a zillion statistics books out there already? Yes I've been wanting to read one, and Wikipedia also has lots of good statistics articles. I've been wanting to work through Freedman and Pisani's book but you know

I've heard that ICE is getting robot dogs. I wonder if anyone can make some robot wolves to protect the organic ones. Wolf hunting is a much more exciting adventure when the wolves can shoot back.

There are theorems like that now, like de Grey's lower bound for the Hadwiger-Nelson (unit distance graph) problem. He used a SAT solver to check that a certain graph with 1581(?) vertices is not 4-colorable. There's no way for

This seems like an ugly hack. We really need a way to snapshot a python program after its imports have been loaded, similar to temacs/emacs that's been around for decades, or a similar thing that exists in gforth. Emacs's o

All the really high end stuff is in financial data centers anyway, surrounded by TV cameras 24/7. Tamper reactance in the HSM itself is cool and everything but the surrounding security handles a lot of what the HSM is made to do.

CPython is written in C, did running it on Risc-V take more than a recompilation? Were there any surprises? Yes of course it needs testing and RISC-V in the CI stack, but I'd expect fairly smooth sailing.

I would also like to see manageable amounts of update traffic. In the old days I had De Lorme street maps of the whole US. It was sold on a CD-ROM so the whole dataset was at most 700MB. It didn't have updates. I also have paper ma

I mean why not? There was a math guy who wanted wider viewership for his calculus lectures than he was getting on youtube, so he started uploading them to a porn site and built up a steady audience and income there. Added: did web search,

I have the 2023 5G Stylus and it's great, has almost everything I want in a phone. It's now even supported by LineageOS though I haven't switched over. Something like it with Graphene would be fantastic.
