hdhfjkrkrme··on We don't need a DAC on the ESP32-S3
As a down side they are extremely difficult to design for good quality output. Basically impossible for an amateur.
hdhfjkrkrme··on Indexing semantic versions in RocksDB
Sure, the old performance/productivity tradeoff.

This quickly solves the problem then you can iterate for performance.

If you iterate a python dictionary it will return the keys in insert order.

For sort order you need to sort separately.

hdhfjkrkrme··on Drones are the new drug mules
A missile is too heavy, it's easier to just fly the drone into the jammer if you can locate it.

For FPV drones both Ukraine and russia but the components from China and assemble them locally.

Ukraine is very worried that China is trying to cut them off, so they buy through a long chain of intermediaries.

hdhfjkrkrme··on How Australia’s ‘Bluey’ conquered children’s entertainment
We're not designed to live in buildings either. Or to do math. So I'm not sure about this line of reasoning, because it suggests we should go back to hunter gathering.

Are cartoon physics insulting kids intelligence?

Tom coming back 1 second after being blown up with dynamite makes sense?

Maybe these kinds of cartoons are bad according to you.

There it research that kids are more interested in stuff which is surprising (fixation period, ...) because that builds a model of how the world works, not the easily predicted stuff.

Since some parents actively control what their kids watch it makes sense to create a show optimized for that niche - you increase parent appeal, but this will decrease kids appeal, so now you have an optimization problem to solve.

It would be interesting to see a chart with kids preferences - I bet kids enjoy Bluey far less than other shows since it's not optimized for them, but for parents.

When I was a kid it was a free market - I had a bunch of channels with a bunch of cartoons and I chose which ones to watch.

If you think about it, kids crack like addiction to cartoons doesn't make sense to adults (there are theories), so that raises questions if adults can pick for kids, and not for what they imagine kids would enjoy.

> Most kids shows seem like a low effort afterthought full of contrived vapid nonsense.

Kids brain is not adult brain. You need a different kind of training material.

hdhfjkrkrme··on Understand how transformers work by demystifying the math behind them
The moment you understand the Transformer you become incapable of explaining it.
hdhfjkrkrme··on Double encryption: Analyzing the NSA/GCHQ arguments against hybrids
We have small quantum computers, we don't have big ones.

We have fusion power on small scale, we don't have it on commercial scale.

Seems to be the same argument.

You can use this argument against anything not done yet: "we've been trying to build fusion reactors for 50 years now, we should give up now"
