- pshcMacBooks outclass any other laptop in the market thanks to those chips.
- We can spend more time on art, music, camaraderie, love, play, and the pursuit of grace.
- apparently this is the source: https://youtu.be/1L2ef1CP-yw
The fan increases air speed at the centre of the rotor, creating a low pressure zone which then sucks in surrounding air. So it helps to place the fan away from the window (roughly far enough that the wind cone "fits" the opening).
- This stuff is a dream of mine, editors in different modes that can collaborate seamlessly. Keep up the good work!
- I think we need a spatial/physics model handling movement and tactics watched over by a high level strategy model (maybe an LLM).
- Compared to google translate of yore, it’s gotten way more fluent thanks to transformers. Good translation relies heavily on context of course. Voice recognition and text to speech quality have increased dramatically. And near real-time (or as real-time as is possible given a pair of languages) is becoming feasible.
- What’s wild to me is that we have basically manifested the Babel Fish in the last few years.
- Meanwhile Switzerland is implementing e-ID which gives citizens private and public keys so they can sign and prove things without leaking their whole identity.
- Sometimes a problem is a weird combination of hairy/obscure/tedious where I simply don’t have the activation energy to get started. Like, I could do it with a gun to my head.
But if someone else were to do it for me I would gratefully review the merge request.
- They do discuss optimization of the IDs at the bottom of the article.
- Use of server reconciliation makes me think client-side reconciliation would be tricky… how do you preserve smooth editor UX while applying server updates as they arrive?
For example, if your client-sent request to insert a character fails, do you just retry the request? What if an update arrived in the intervening time? (Edit: they acknowledge this case in the “Client-Side” section, the proposal is to rewind and replay, and a simpler proposal to block until the pending queue is flushed)
From a frontend vantage I feel like there may be a long tail of underspecified UI/UX edge cases, such that CRDT would be simpler overall. And how does the editor feel to use while riding the NYC subway where coverage is spotty?
- Have you tried Zed?
- The underlying problem is that setenv is mutable global state and should never have existed
- Shouldn’t building dense housing in an area with a terrible housing shortage increase the tax base if anything?
- DLSS artifacts are pretty obvious to me. Modern games relying on temporal anti aliasing and raytracing tend to be blurry and flickery. I prefer last-gen games at this point, and would love a revival of “brute force” rasterization.
- Dang, I implemented SDFs in 2023 around that time with jump flooding. Wish I had seen this version. Thanks for pointing it out!
