Perhaps the render should use the real sizes and positions in meters for all three objects, at a time given by the user

Exactly! I can not believe this is in the top spot.

I have lost commands in the Bash history as well and I don't know why. Fortunately, I store all commands executed (+ time, return value etc.) in an sqlite database so I run a program from time to time to import that into the Bash history. The Bash history is useful for Ctrl+R

Only 1000x overhead would make some image classification tasks go from 1ms to 1s. That’s viable for some applications!

> Since connection poolers reuse connections between clients, the connection state of one client “leaks” into the connection state of another.

Wow this is very bad. This actually happens in typical Postgres setups?

> a hand tuned input loop written in C that takes <<1ms

Yes, I would certainly expect much less than 1ms. Perhaps 1µs should be the goal?

> If we give an LLM a prompt that reads “The following is a conversation between Julius Caesar and Genghis Khan,” it will generate a coherent dialogue between the two historical figures. But no matter how detailed the responses are, no matter how vividly they recount their respective historical accomplishments, we would never conclude that the LLM has conjured up digital re-creations of Julius Caesar and Genghis Khan, nor would we suggest that the historical figures are conscious

They might be in principle. It could be that the best way to generate a plausible dialogue is to bring up re-creations of the characters and have them act it out. LLMs definitely have been demonstrated to have world models in some cases. That helps generating text.

It also means you'll have to onboard a lot of new employees all the time. That sounds exhausting.
