It depends, you could also view it as: in all the bad there’s still some good.

It depends on the use case.

Having more balanced triangles in this case would only increase the number of vertices. Which means you need more memory on the GPU and the vertex pipeline has more work to do.

Because the polygons are quite small, there's also no culling advantage by having smaller triangles, being able to discard them early in the rendering process.

> IMO none of these things point to a AI being a bubble (over-hyped, demand does not match the stated value). It mostly points to the opposite, there is massive demand for AI and every layer of the supply chain is struggling to keep up with that demand.

Yes, the demand is there for the currently unsustainable price. Lets see what happens when the dumping of money into AI stops and the companies are forced to increase prices a lot.

Humans just have the cognitive ability to be violent on a larger scale. Otherwise I also don‘t really see much of a difference to animals.

As a vim, linux, shell guy, I still love my mapping of Caps Lock pressed to CTRL und Caps Lock released to ESC.

Being able to reach CTRL and ESC with the little finger while keeping your hands on the home row keys is great.

I think I read somewhere, that your preferred hand is better at staying in rhythm.

It‘s exactly the kind of words that venture capital wants to here.

Looking at code, it‘s easier to spot the missing check for an error code, than a not catched exceptions.

Also error codes are part of the signature of a function, which exceptions aren‘t.

> Often when someone wants to talk about a situation involving difficult feelings, they're actually trying to process those feelings: to understand where the feelings are coming from, to be validated, and to be able to take a broader perspective.

Right, talking about feelings is a way of regulating yourself.

Conflicts with my wife are a lot easier if I'm able to empathize with her emotional distress, acknowledging it, instead of jumping directly into logical problem solving. If I'm only looking logically at the issue, I can't really understand the issue she is having.

I like the view of the therapist Terry Real, that during conflicts you can either be right or stay connected. That doesn't mean that you hide your views, but that you also emotionally acknowledge the view of your partner. It's surprising how effectively this takes out the fire in conflicts.

> The only country 1st world country not to have really obese people is Japan (~5% obese ~20% overweight). (~35% obsese ~70% overweight US) and I'd wager a large part of that is the fact that kids cook for themselves in school so they learn early what a reasonable meal is.

There might also be a genetic factor, why japanese are less obese or overweight, because the difference for diabetes patients between US and japan is a lot smaller.

That's absolutely useless and that's great!

> The problem here (again, i think) lies in the fact that we don't often see the grander value of our everyday works and yearn to do SOMETHING grander, more impactful, but we don't know which, or how, and in time it will torment us each time we do our normal work.

I think it's a kind of yearning that can't be satisfied in the outside world. It's an inside problem and can only be solved there.

The dryer could tell the garage door to open, to reduce humidity.
