- tails4eHow does this compare to CORDIC for sin/cos generation? Which is more accurate, etc ?
- My code wasn't written to be hard to decipher, and it wasn't a goal to get everything on one line by any stretch, I just didn't like an if with regext was 2 lines minimum in python, it felt inelegant for a language that is pretty elegant in general
- I liked perl, it was the first language I used daily as a HW engineer. When I moved to python more recently what I missed the most was how easy it was to do a one liner if with regex capturing. That couldn't be done in python for a long time. I think the walrus operator helps, but it's still not quite as concise, but it's closer
- I heard last year the potential future of gaming is not rendering but fully AI generated frames. 3 seconds per 'frame' now, it's not hard to believe it could do 60fps in a few short years. It makes it seem more likely such a game could exist. I'm not sure I like the idea, but it seems like it could happen
- Why not follow decompilation like ghidra does, rather than guess, compile, compare? It seems more sensible to actually decompile.
- I didn't understand the background before the explanation, but afterwards I did. Inl walked me through the mathematical steps and each was logical and ok to follow if you have a basic calculus knowledge.
- It was. I asked it to give more details on parts of the derivation I didn't quite follow and it did that. Overall it was able to build from the ground up to the solution and solve it both numerically and analytically (for smaller values of x)
- I just had chatgpt explain that problem to me (I was unfamiliar with the mathematical background). It showed how to solve closed form answers for H(2) and H(3) and then numerical solutions using RK4 for higher values. Truly impressive, and it explained the derivations beautifully. There are few maths experts I've encountered who could have hand-held me through it as good.
- Exactly. The solutions can be as simple as this. Israel has the power to fix this, they choose to do the opposite
- This makes sense, but what does not make sense is who tested this 'ultimate mode', I mean they went to the trouble of adding a physical hardware switch on the motherboard for this, surely when testing there was some kind of benchmark or comparison to show this feature was an advantage. Maybe they don't test, or they have 'internal firmware' that is not what the user gets, but it's a serious fail either way.
- It depends on the blue collar job, but electrician, plumber, roofer, all seem pretty safe from automation for a while at least.
- It takes a long time to get form standard to silicon, so I bet there are design teams working on pcie7 right now, which won't see products for 2 or more years
- Exactly this. If a junior dev is never exposed to the task of reasoning about code themselves, they never will know what the difference between good and bad code is. Code based will be littered with code that doe the job functionally, but is not good code, and technical debt will accumulate. Surely this can't be good for the junior Devs or the code bases long term?
- No, this is just an a analogy. The reality is the data is heavily modulated, and also the video is encoded so at no point would something that visually looks like an image be visible in the fibre.
- What do you find thats so awful? Once you understand the main footguns and how to avoid them, it's overall very solid.
- Well doesnt this go somewhat to the root of consciousness? Are we not the sum of our experiences and reflections on those experiences? To say an LLM will 'simply' respond as would a character in a sorry about that scenario, in a way shows the power, it responds similarly to how a person would protecting itself in that scenario.... So to bring this to a logical conclusion, while not alive in a traditional sense, if an LLM exhibits behaviours of deception for self preservation, is that not still concerning?
- I am surprised more uC use cases have not moved to RISC-5. What do you see keeping you on ARM for what you work on?
- RISC-V is not immune from license fees, unless you want to design a high performance core from the ground up. If you want something as capable as an M4, there is years of R&D to get to that level. I'm sure a big player could do just that in house, but many would license Si-Five or similar. It will be interesting to see if Qualcomm and the like would make a move towards RISC-V, given their ARM legal issues
- I have it in docker a d use supervised mode (which seems discouraged, but I want my machine for other uses also). The one thing I struggle with is updating, I'm concerned if I update it'll break. Is there a way to fully snapshot a container state and it's disk state, so I can 100% restore to it if something goes wrong ? I'm still running HA from 2020 because of this.
The other think I'm not a huge fan of is it's template language, it's clunky to say the least, but overall it's a great amd flexible system
- Especially when doing the right/safe thing by default is at worst a minor performance hit. They could change the default to be sane and provide a backwards compatible switch to pragma to revert to the less safe version. They could, but for some reason never seem to make such positive changes
