I went through the paper and thought immediately about how did they implement it; I missed they published their code as well. Here is the link for everyone who skimmed past it: https://github.com/mcleish7/arithmetic/tree/main
I was at the Tampa concert last year, and I was so distracted by trying to figure out how they controlled the wristbands. They were randomly handed out at the door, and I had no idea what seat I was in. I went through the scenario to flash sectors to see where they were located and build a grid, but when I got home, I was floored at the IR solution. It was so simple.
I agree. Very similar situation; I can't help but feel like I am the middle-aged trope in movies; best of luck finding the answer; if you do, please share!
Wow, are the cars tornado chasers like those in the movie Twister? I'd love to read more about those, but really cool to see how all these are moving. Way more things out there then I thought.
I've struggled to get it to generate images, especially when related to memes. For instance, I wanted to extend the "this is fine" image, but Gemini Advanced would not because it was harmful to animals. Most of the image requests I give it are back-and-forths on what it can't generate for me for some ethical or moral reason.
Beautiful from a simplistic and deep philosophical understanding, but Everyday the Same Dream(2009?) by Molleindustria Games was the first video game I saw that was like, whoa, that's deep, and helped me understand it more as an art form. The ending is very dark as well. https://www.molleindustria.org/everydaythesamedream/everyday...
I read 'Kill It with Fire: Manage Aging Computer Systems (and Future Proof Modern Ones)' and the whole time I kept thinking that learning one of these old languages could be fun and would be a good side project. Would definitely be a lot of good projects to work on if you looked for them as paid gigs.
I'm not a legal scholar and this isn't my area of expertise, but the final note has links out to a TechCrunch article about LinkedIn vs hiQ Labs Inc, which alludes to web scraping being legal, but the case wasn't decided for a few more months, and the court sided with Linkedin. What's the final verdict on web scraping vs creating fake accounts to get user information (which the case focused on)
Have you looked for online courses? Here are a few of the books I'd go through around computers, but are you thinking more extensive history of "technology?" Like how we've grown from printing press as innovation?
I ordered this because it was mentioned in another thread. It's more context and philosophical before getting to the science, but that makes it a more interesting read. Smith has a unique perspective from his career and help driving the science forward.
Interesting. Also looked at Sith's site from OP url, and he has copies of the incorporation papers. This is under the corrective history. I'm guessing there are slights on both sides. And thanks for the book recommendation, I just ordered it.
Pixar Story and Droid Makers are great books about the early days of animation. Pixar was the hardware/software group for early computer graphics at ILM, but Lucas needed money and sold the group to Jobs. They then go on to make Toy Story etc. I imagine some of the history is whitewashed, and I would love to read more documents like this. Check out Ed's book Creativity Inc, which discusses how they grew the company. Ed invented math at the University of Utah for early computer graphics, and after Toy Story wanted to figure out how to run the company. Being a leader probably wasn't natural to him, so again, I would be curious about how he handled situations like this. Especially when he took over Disney animation as well, he retired somewhat abruptly. I've always been curious about why since what a fantastic career and the opportunity to lead two different animation organizations! Ed has always been interesting. Still, I tend to read this letter optimistically that Alvy would even write it. There are no words minced. Did he think Ed would listen, so he wrote it? Some other posters said it's now fixed, so maybe he did something? I can't imagine writing a letter this scathing and accomplishing something. Again, what an environment they must have had.
This is a significant problem to solve. How do you think they will build the task force to build a plan? As a product manager, I am terrified this is a class he what would it take to build this and a complex answer would come back that make.
What advice would you give the team scoping the problem -- outside of changing the tax system?
Thanks for this article and hit me really hard. My mom passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago. She was just starting to enjoy retirement and time being a grandmom. Her journals were note books and mostly documents of what she had done in two year of retirement and things to do with the boys. It's so hard to look at the plans of things to come and what she was thinking of... like the planning of my oldest son's 9 3/4 birthday in a year because he's so in to Harry Potter. It's a unique treasure to see the inner workings of her mind and something I wish everyone got to experience after a parents passing. We've left the stack of them out at her house so the rest of my siblings can go through them as the pass through.
Very similar experience here. It's been crushing to see how the remote is just draining for the kiddos. Seeing glimpses of hope and growth, but still painful at the same time.
I'm glad Atlassian is calling attention to this, but I'd love to see them incorporate tools and features into their products that could help identify and measure these recommendations. Most of the data is there, but we just need to expose views of worker metrics and not solely focus on projects. A teams burnout indicator would be just as important as velocity report.
This is such and understated break through in animation technology. It help the create better shots, but helped distribute pieces of development. It's not unlike what the tech department did at ILM. They used technology to help create the shots they need, which lead to digital editing, computer shot layouts, and many other tech advances that seems standard these days. Highly recommend Droidmaker by Michael Rubin
A great reminder that everyday we do learn something and should be thoughtful about documenting it. We often move to fast to realize that what we discovered, to get something down, is unique. Thanks for sharing and keep it up!
