Purhaps being furry is a mythical power amplifier, like a devil fruit for infosec. Imagine the power levels of Filippo Valsorda if he gains a fursona!

I wonder if this could all be solved if doors are triangles instead of quadrilaterals.

Maybe it's because the author is a mathematician.

I wonder if LLMs could be useful here for automatic node-graph generation of which replies addresses which train of discussion within a thread, and the user can click through said generate index to follow how a specific topic evolved.

In the case of data it should be more aptly described as "possession" rather than "ownership"

I like to think of it as dot product being the true "natural" space to compare magnitude metrics, whereas absolute value is just a human construct conceived for our mental convenience. A smooth parabolic bowl vs an unnatural sharp conical tip. Also shows up in standard deviation etc.

Aside: I wonder if complex values neural networks with activation function just being sum(inputs)*conj(sum(inputs)) with threshold normalized by sqrt(num_inputs) could be the most universal, where incoherent inputs will average an absolute value of sqrt(N) and coherent inputs are N like lasers? (square amplitude would be N vs N^2 between uncorrected and correlated population)

> Anthropic, Open AI & Co. realized at some point that if they can't make money with barely any competition they sure as hell won't if the market is flooded. So here they are slamming the door behind them.

Jokes on them, there won't be new entrants not because the door is shut but because it doesn't actually make money. The whole scheme is propped up by illusions to grift the investors, fewer competition only breaks the illusion. But I guess those folks aren't the types to understand "rising tide lifts all boats", or in this case, rising sewage buoys all rats.

If you would actually read the comment then you'd see the mention of in-place upgrades instead of complete reinstall. There is no drawback of hassle with in-place upgrades as everything on you system is kept as-is, and it takes about the same time as a typical windows cumulative update if not less due to pre-downloading the files.

And instead of unbased hypotheticals perhaps you can point to even a single example of normie software that check for editions of windows as a result of bad coding rather than user-hostile intent? To do so you'd need to go out of your way to hack together undocumented corners instead of the path of least resistance of calling GetVersion() as would be characteristic of lazy coding.

> you could run into issues with software that expects home/pro and not LTSC.

That's a laughably ignorant statement for how windows app development works. Raymond Chen weeps on reading your comment. Enterprise edition is a strict superset in functionality over Home/Pro, and LTSC just adds longer support.

Enterprise IoT just comes with Windows Store components sitting dormantly, which you can promptly activate with `wsreset -i` and it's then identical with consumer editions (other than TikTok and Candy Crush not being forcibly reinstalled after every "feature update") where you can install apps from the Windows Store as needed or just use winget instead.

Enterprise IoT LTSC is just Enterprise IoT with longer support.

There is literally and strictly no downside with using IoT LTSC, especially with the combination of official Rufus + MAS to install from official ISOs.

Actually, with MAS, you can also just download the IoT LTSC iso to perform an in-place upgrade that keeps all your existing Windows Store apps and program installs etc., just follow https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol#upgrade-windows-10-home-...

You can just use the official iso with Rufus and MAS, no need to torrent sketchy backdoored versions.

> That's why you always normalize the quaternion first

Again, that won't solve the problem of floating point components not perfectly adding up to one.

Constantly normalizing quats are unnecessary performance hits and worsens your accuracy with no benefit other than being marginally "easier for low-math programmers to reason about", when you could instead just work with non-unit quats homogeneously and divide the final result with the quat square magnitude just once in the entire pipeline, or not at all and instead just pass the square magnitude as your w factor that gets divided on the GPU anyways

The formulas provided for quat to matrix and quat to axis angle is terrible, they only work if the quaternion's magnitude is exactly one. You need to replace sqrt(1 - a*a) assumptions with actual components, and use atan2 instead of acos. I don't blame the author though because the vast majority of info you can find in online learning materials uses this ill-advised formulation, including Wikipedia. But it's really trivial to realize this fact if you just go ahead and derive from the quat sandwich from first principles and realize that the "convenience simplification assuming unit quat" is actually an unnecessary step that have no benefits and are wholly detrimental when implementing them for floating point numbers.

You can disable PRs and Issues on GitHub. Though still good to migrate away for reliability considerations.

If it had been a proper developer he would've been nerd-sniped into yak-shaving those tools and never get the original work done.

Just following alignment rules right?

What advantage do permanent magnets provide that it isn't the case that all motors are made without them?

Just you wait, this will be what billionaires and CEOs envision as the ideal employment dynamics in the post-AI world. Uber but for employment.

Maybe in their eyes those are the less-violent alternatives than their other options.

Maybe they require the equivalent of advanced EUV machines to make?

"Practice safe vibecoding, stop the cycle of infections!"

"Implementation details are left as exercise for the reader.

When in doubt refer to the public API as specified in Revelations 13:15-17"

I often also wonders if ideological zealots ever thinks of this passage while pushing their agenda for control:

    ...and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could even speak and cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
    Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,
    so that no one can buy or sell who does not have the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

just be sure do it in that order and not the other way around

So support should be provided for incentivizing younger parenthood then, like guaranteed tuition assistance per children born?

Slopify

So what you're saying is, we need to abolish ICE and go electric?

See also the debacle with Razer gaming mice giving you root access just by plugging in, which I think takes the cake for clownshoe software practices almost rivalling Riot Games (though not with the latter's degree of self-congratulatory Dunning-Kruger gusto.)

Hopefully these do not require a PhD to be implemented.
