Also dazzling graphics has been mostly visual instead of experiential, that is, with the advances in GPU capabilities, we do get beautiful effects, but the intractability with the said infra is seems to be stagnant (and in some cases regres

Could be but all across different regions across the subcontinent where the Vedas are orally recited, except for some technical tones and notes (which is the mechanical part of Vedic Sanskrit) there is little difference. There are serious a

The Vedas are surprisingly uniform across a very long time period.

Sovereignty. You only get to hold responsibility of your own citizens, like Jeffery Epstein AND his supporters. You do that right, and then maybe then people will like you as the world police.

Thats true, but in the books, Denethor is competent and a seasoned strategist and has a battle of strategy with the witch king, one upping them in most instances, answering with brilliant maneuvers to the brilliant maneuvers of the witch ki

The question is not what state humans arein, but what state other humans would be when interacting with them. In other words, are other humans nice to me? I like it when they are nice to me. In return, I will also be nice to them.

Microchips? A lot of quantum physics is applied here from the top of my mind.

0.1 in itself is a very good odd, and 0.1 * n tries is even more laughable. Also most people have two fingers touchID, which makes this number close to half in reality.

The roman culture of old surely did. I don't see anyone trying to claim the temple of Jupiter anymore?

But anything more than 1 vote assigned for your usage is quid pro quo (since you will get to enjoy policies that you "paid" for) when others only get a single vote.

How does one get readings from large antennas? Are the streams public?

There is another way. Irrationality. People spend a lot on religion. Like a whole lot. What if there was a faith system of ultimatley going to interstellar medium. You have faith, you automatically pay, like the rest of the people and you d

I think there is one more thing that sort of works. ASCII art is surprisingly hard for many llms.

If you go at light speed across the universe, the scenery would also not change, until you collide with something.

"Is this what you can conjure Saruman?" I have a strong belief that new mathematical tools and methods can be developed that can make it "easy" to break a lot of modern cryptography primitives without ever using a quantu

I guess massively is the relative word. But I will stand by the claim that we can discover/invent new mathematical methods that can aid in cryptanalysis, if not directly by cryptographers, then by some adjacent field.

by z3phyr 1y ago
I think cryptanalysis as a discipline is not massively funded. All of the cryptography is only as strong as the collective failure of all human intelligence so far to break it. Most people consider cryptography as a "solved" probl

DirectX12 is still much better to use than Vulkan. Natively supports Xbox and PC. Can run on Linux with Proton. The Playstation API functionally resembles DX12. Vulkan is extension management hell (but has gotten much better, I concede)

Hannibal determined that Rome received strength through the Socii, the allied city states of Rome. He wanted to isolate Rome and bring terms. However, he 1) Failed to turn most of the socii to his side. 2) Ignored the western roman allies w

This reminds me of the excellent CEPL library ( https://github.com/cbaggers/cepl ). You can write live shader like programs with cepl with an OpenGL backend.

Most of the developers of the microcomputer revolution era programmed in Non-Unix environments. Even in workstation space, the cool lisp/smalltalk/... developers hated unix, but the small market was filled with unixes. Even today,

In turn I will raise you the following: Why are GPU ISA trade secrets at all? Why not open them up like CPU ISAs, get rid of specialized cores and let compiler writers port their favorite languages to compile into native GPU programs? Every

A slope has two ends, even when it's slippery. People want to claim submarines swim, but they do not.

Always think from the users perspective. For a lot of applications, when a user does something, it should happen with minimal latency.

On paper. But it is easier to get influenced by intelligent "Subject Matter Experts" and they usually know how to nudge the public representatives their way. This is a known and accepted flaw of rotating leadership in democracies.

Subculture wise, SF is barely represented in computer graphics or high performance optimization circles, like gamedev or demoscene, arguably a class of field that produces top quality software engineers.
