Do you remember how a series of crazy coincidences and freak accidents kept preventing the LHC from being turned on? What if the LHC was causing world-ending or life-ending events, and we simply kept surviving only in thinner and thinner slices of amplitude (timelines) where those freak accidents happened, but where also more improbable world conditions took place?

Finally, an ASCII-safe way to encode all the vectors of Neuralese.

Most of the times you don't even need to dress the traffic as DNS requests or throttle it. You wouldn't believe how many otherwise "secure" places leave an open highway on UDP 53.

The law (which is supposed to codify the common sense and shared values underpinning a society—note "supposed to") disagrees with you: if I use a bulldozer to damage your property, you can sue me, not the bulldozer or its maker.

As others have said, turns need to precede the actual moment the vehicle turns, otherwise it's a blind spot. I wouldn't use it as is. Also the 3D performance is 2fps on my device. Other than that it's a cool demo, but not worthy of a patent. It's a pretty basic 3D transform, I'm not sure what's there to patent.

I have only heard of it in passing. I wonder what it adds beyond Webp and Avif.

Something I've never understood about DRM is, if the content is ultimately played on my device, what stops me from reverse engineering their code to make an alternative client or downloader? Is it just making it harder to do so? Or is there a theoretical limit to reverse engineering that I'm not getting? Do they have hardware decryption keys in every monitor, inside the LCD controller chip?

For what its worth, all of my local banking and e-government apps work flawlessly on GrapheneOS. The only unsupported feature or app I've found so far is Google Pay. (I'm from Italy)

> Just intuitively, in such a high dimensional space, two random vectors are basically orthogonal.

Which, incidentally, is the main reason why deep learning and LLM are effective in the first place.

A vector of a few thousands dimensions would be woefully inadequate to represent all of human knowledge, if not for the fact that it works as the projection of a much higher, potentially infinite-dimensional vector representing all possible knowledge. The smaller-sized one works in practice as a projection, precisely because any two such vectors are almost always orthogonal.

Came here to say the same thing. Uiua is my favorite language by far. BQN is also a cool "Nu-APL" but Uiua is just a full generation ahead.

REALLY

Just don't call background services, unless the user explicitly requested a remote service! My Linux installs and (to a lesser degree) my Windows LTSB/LTSC installs don't have these issues, you know?

I'm very puzzled by this language. Why put the verbs at the end of the sentence, for instance? Was this shell inspired by Japanese or German?

Even after perusing jq's manual multiple times and having written several complex incantations, I still have no idea how to properly combine `|` and `.[]` except by trial and error, or why `select()` needs to be used inside `map(select(...))`

Recently I needed to extract some data, and after fighting with jq and its manual for half an hour, I solved the problem in 30 seconds with node.js

I appreciate the idea behind jq, but its language is horrible. Even XPath was easier and cleaner.

They should all be either allowed or denied. Why are UR-MOM or F-YOU considered offensive, while newer memes and slang that may be even more offensive can probably pass through the radar? Either allow everything, or deny vanity plates altogether.
