Good luck enforcing that.

Thanks for the reply, it's an interesting idea.

If you're removing lifetimes from the script, I'm not sure how you're then transpiling to Rust, unless you wrap everything with reference counting, at which point you're better off using a language with GC.

That light flickering is quite cool, thanks for sharing. It reminds me of the Wilhelm scream, but on a much smaller scale of course.

This is an irrelevant tangent, but bots reposting content which previously was highly upvoted reminds me of exponential backoff in networking. The reposting serves as an automated way to maximally spread popular content to the widest range of website visitors, until the value of additional reposts diminishes and the bots reduce their reposting frequency on that item because it's no longer hitting the highs.

It probably doesn't work out that way in practice since the karma farming bots may not be that sophisticated, but I think it's a cool idea at least.

I think it's unlikely for consciousness to exist in stars or in any population of thing which isn't subject to natural selection / evolution. It seems to me that it arises due to giving a competitive advantage for the population in question.

I spent the other day writing an archetype entity component system which made heavy use of template metaprogramming. I try to avoid this if possible, but it was an exercise in seeing how performant I could make it, and so I wanted to offload as much work as I could manage to compile time and avoid things like virtual dispatch. API similar to the basic parts of entt.

My take away from the exercise is that this is not a language for human beings. I was successful in writing it, but it was extremely difficult and frustrating. Part of the frustration is because conceptually what I wanted to accomplish was not difficult, but figuring out how to express it was a nightmare. I am not new to the language, I've been writing C++ since 2009, it was the first language I learned and I've spent nearly every day of my life since then writing at least some C++ code. Even so, I can't say that I truly understand this shit.

I'm hoping cpp2 brings us someplace closer to a language that mere mortals can understand. I don't want the next generation writing C++.

I get this logic, but in software development there is effectively an infinite and continually growing list of tasks to do. A lot of large and popular software projects on Github are not closing issues at a faster rate than they accrue.

There have been issues with the packaging of the app. I can't remember precisely, but I do remember some crashes due to mismatches of some expected library version in Debian family. I'm using the version on Flathub which seems to work, and while I dislike some of the recent UI decisions like the ColorPicker is now worse (apparently enforced on them via GTK changes), I do still like Pinta.

Move somewhere else, probably. I have never seen a good answer from Libertarians on environmental issue. Or any tragedy of the commons problem.

It might be language or task dependent. I'm writing C++, and Claude is more likely to suggest things which simply won't compile. It feels like Claude 3's knowledge of C++ is a bit lacking comparatively.

For coding I've found ChatGPT4 a bit better than Claude 3 Opus because it tends to understand my intentions more and I trust it to make better suggestions for code changes.

I think Claude has better writing style, and it's refreshing not having to fight with the thing to get it to give me full code snippets. I also hate how difficult it is to get the arrow keys to scroll up or down on chatgpt.

My intuition would have been that floats were faster because of this. Less memory to iterate through.

The opportunity to work well below the poverty line.

We are arguably in one of the most important blips in the history of mankind.

You can probably write runtime tests for this. Some system which queries for component Location, and then does an assert for each component that the associated entity also has a mesh.

Granted, this is annoying and not a particularly great solution, but it would serve to give you a reminder for when you forget. I don't mean to diminish from your overall point either, it's a valid and good one I think.

I'm on the latest Nvidia drivers (550), I have a 3080 video card, and I get something like 20 FPS in Plasma's Wayland session. They are crazy if they drop support for x11.

Fedora was similarly crazy for making it the default when they did. I remember trying out Fedora around that time, not being aware that Wayland was even a thing. I installed it on my machine, I attempted to login, the screen goes black and then after a second I'm back at the login screen. I ended up installing another distro, not realizing what the problem was.

Wayland is wonderful if your hardware supports it well, but even then it is not without problems and regressions.

I installed Windows 11 three days ago because I need to make Windows builds for software, this was my first serious attempt at using Windows since 2017. I thought I unchecked everything I possibly could regarding telemetry / cloud services, but I either missed something or they, without permission, uploaded all data in my users folder to their server. It was at almost 2 gigabytes of stuff on their cloud before I realized what was happening. Completely unacceptable to me, and a reminder for why I left Windows in the first place.

That commit was updating the readme to remove a site which (presumably) was once valid but is now malicious. Looks like it's been 5 / 6 years since it's seen activity.

This is a good point, but AI also will allow us to enhance the video in other ways than upscaling, such as inserting (or replacing) CGI / special effects. We should be able to really up the visuals.

This is a very good ruling then, from that perspective.

It doesn't need to be inefficient, it depends on the implementation. Immediate mode is describing the API and usage, you can implement it such that it's retained mode behind the scenes, or only redrawing when necessary, etc.

I've written an immediate mode GUI for my projects and it's fine for performance. I've written a music player for instance which uses a negligible amount of CPU, it uses slightly more resources than Clementine, my previous music player.

They may just want a licensing deal.

This is logical, but the evidence still points to something environmental causing a major shift in levels of myopia. In one generation the rate of myopia in some countries went from 20% to 80%[0]. This means that it isn't genetic, something environmental must have changed to cause this.

She also (previously) watered down the right to repair bill. She is... not the best.

Rockstar is notorious for crunch, or overworking and poor conditions, especially near the end of a project life. There are a lot of horror stories about games like red dead redemption 2, you'll find an overwhelming amount of articles about this if you Google it.

I don't edit videos too often, but Shotcut is what I use. I'll be trying out Pitivi because I'm not quite happy with it, it crashes quite a bit.

I've noticed this too. 100% CPU usage, laptop temperature skyrockets and fans kick on

This was riffing on a famous Simpsons bit.

They just launched chatgpt with voice for free users. Could very well be related to that.
