I love how nonchalantly demonstrates his custom terminal emulator and javascript engine.

It must be quite a title if it is more revealing than the summary itself.

Why do you think person capable of making doom run in such an environment is incapable of basic tree operations?

You could also solve this with competition. If there were 10 ISPs it would be disadvantageous to give your customers reasons to leave you. Why aren’t there more ISPs? Maybe too many regulations. It is trivial to lay cable, except of course all the permits.

Also old people. They need younger people to support them, like grow their food, fix their houses, etc. But given that I plan on growing old, as I hope you do too, we should make sure the generations after us are capable of taking care of us.

The current best solution is written by Fabrice Bellard, probably more famous for his other works like FFMPEG, QEMU and TCC - https://bellard.org/. Check him, pretty much everything coming from him is pure gold.

Interestingly, this is the first time I'm seeing apple recommend using neovim+terminal for development work. They even showed that LSP integration is supported.

Only in the new iPads though, no word when it'll be available in Macs.

New comment by stjo in "Compressing Gaussian Splats"

stjo — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 13:20:39 +0000

This blog goes a lot more in depth in different techniques for compressing them (although for the purpose of using less VRAM):

Including quantising spherical harmonics, grouping splats into chunks and compressing their position and rotation in groups, etc.

It is amazing, but JWST is not really seeing individual molecules. I believe they are analysing the spectral atmospheric emissions.

You can enable iOS’s “lockdown mode” which disabled automatic download attachment, JavaScript JIT and other rather hard to secure features.

Do you actually have an airship startup? What are the challenges you are facing? Do you need software engineers or funding?

I could give companies a pass for features that require continuous maintenance from them, like remote unlock (properly secured servers). But there was a car company that tried to sell you your own seat warmers, which definitely crosses my barrier.

As far as conspiracy theories go, this must be the most logical explanation of the events. Yet I see no evidence. Maybe one could try asking OpenAI?

No LIDAR needed, just sharp photos from a consumer-grade drone.
