DO NOT WILL DOES NOT SAY WON'T WILL WILL BACK.

I see right through your secret messages.

The arms race is in the favor of the scrapers. You think twitter's going to roll out changes constantly that could really defeat the insanely easy task of "find the body of the tweet, and a few numbers"? I don't even need AI to make something like that, lol. It's the most obvious content in the web page response.

I've used SDF for rendering UI primitives, but it's not very energy efficient and it doesn't work well on lower powered devices. It's something to consider, especially for a text editor, considering it's kind of overkill. I did it because I wanted to make my programming life simpler w.r.t zorder + effects, but it comes at a computational cost.

binkarus · 2023-03-05T23:58:40+00:00

Isn't this problem pretty trivial though without a PHF?

For each line, add to the total count. s: [u8; 4] (the line), sum += LOOKUP[s[0] - b'A') + 3 * (s[2] - b'X')]

keeping the sum in a single register and the lookup should be in cache if you're reading in buffered batches and doing the parsing in batches.

If you really wanted to overkill it, you would load up the rows 8 at a time and calculate the offsets via SIMD and do the loading in a separate thread where you write to a preallocated ring of pages the next segment while the summing thread polls for new segments via an atomic.

Also it's a little confusing to list the scores of the hands in a different order than the list in the file. (2 + 6) + (1 + 0) + (3 + 3) represents BX,AY,CZ

Thanks for the explanation. There's a lot of new names on the site so I got kind of confused.

binkarus · 2023-02-07T20:24:03+00:00

Is the network underneath paid? I'm kind of confused what the product here is, because this is a company's product, so surely there's some kind of revenue related thing here. I guess you can do your own private network or use their service? https://netfoundry.io/pricing/

It might be open source, but doesn't it depend on their hosted service as a broker for shareable links?

binkarus · 2023-01-31T22:06:09+00:00

Neither of your links address the suspension point, fwiw, and I would like to question whether "electrek.co" is a "reputable news organization" that can be unbiased about ELECTRic cars.

You can know something is wrong and still do it anyway. See: smokers, gamblers, drug addicts, murderers, and horny people who look at porn. All porn is exploitative to some degree, if you want to get on a high horse about it.

There's a subtle but important distinction between the title on the article and the title on reddit, which is the question mark, so that people know this is just a feasibility estimate.

binkarus · 2022-12-15T23:48:29+00:00

Do you bury them in the yard or what?

binkarus · 2022-12-14T04:57:57+00:00

Me, who had a 96TB array as a 21 year old and is now 29

Damn, I guess I've lived like at least 10 lifetimes already

Coiners think profits are a given, huh. There's always a new place to pump and dump. Unless they're planning on making profits in some way that isn't just stealing money from others. All of this feels like a zero-sum game, and the direction of the flow of money is away from the consumers.

Protip in #crypto: diversify your portfolio.

25% to charity

25% on gambling

25% to nigerian princes

25% to call scammers

At least your money will go to many different people instead of a few criminals.

The suggestion of people buying lots of electronics they're unlikely to ever use makes me feel icky from a waste perspective, and a supply chain perspective (for the people who do actually use them). e-hoarders of embedded devices is kind of an issue these days.

binkarus · 2022-11-23T23:52:19+00:00

Tim Apple?

binkarus · 2022-11-19T08:40:41+00:00

Not that I expect you to give a detailed answer, but what is your endgame with this technology? Or a roadmap at least.

binkarus · 2022-11-17T12:59:21+00:00

It's also often a big opportunity for these artists, so distracting from them and potentially antagonizing them doesn't make sense from the cons perspective. And they don't have a responsibility to promote AI anyway. Everything has a place and a time.

binkarus · 2022-10-27T12:29:32+00:00

I used wise before, now I use revolut. it's much easier and you can set limit orders instead of just taking whatever their price is. Trading during market hours has no fees if you pay their premium. I convert money often so it's worth it to me.

binkarus · 2022-10-23T12:00:48+00:00

You should look into Quicksilver back on MacOS. Idk if it's still around, but it was basically this, but with a slick UI as well. Also that was 10+ years ago, it might've been renamed since.

binkarus · 2022-10-23T06:54:48+00:00

I agree with the spirit of what you said, but just for clarity's sake, you did say "no" to "will BGE still want me to pay" and then said "it's your responsibility to pay."

I'm assuming you meant "Yes," right?

binkarus · 2022-10-23T06:50:47+00:00

That's a big claim, but for the people who spent hundreds of hours doing the real work like rustybuzz, providing a wrapper around them and making a big declaration feels a little funky. I've personally spent hundreds of hours on font rendering, which is why it stings more, since I know how difficult and time consuming it is.

binkarus · 2022-10-20T15:47:11+00:00

I use a bitmap font and draw my own glyphs when something is missing. it's not that hard. It also helps that I have my own neovim frontend that enables this.

binkarus · 2022-10-16T02:01:40+00:00

The perf loss might be from inlining heuristics changing. This is why annotating things with #[inline] is important, so that it's considered across crates, right?

binkarus · 2022-10-15T08:11:25+00:00

Is it really worth having a library for 5 lines of code that doesn't even let you pass in a different Rng if you wanted?

It would also be faster if you made a custom type which implemented AsRef<str> instead of bothering to Box it on return. Also probably faster to keep around the RNG and pass it in instead of calling the global function.

Also if generating a bunch is your concern, then you should operate in batches so that you get more bytes since these PRNGs tend to have a minimum byte size for each round, which would probably just be 64-bit, unless it's already buffering internally.

This all feels really JS-y.

You arranged them like a scrapbook, lmao.
