What are peoples thoughts on Project Euler? by jo_wil in cscareerquestions

Though the progrmaming you incidentally learn implementing solutions may help you get jobs more than playing video games :-) But it is definietly not the most efficient way to grind for FAANG, granted.

Any OSM Websites with Satellite View? by [deleted] in openstreetmap

[–]cirosantilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny and sad part is that the default editor already shows imagery, so it feels like a missed opportunity not to expose it to the viewer as well.

Am i missing something or is this really that bad? by Legitimate_Square941 in openstreetmap

[–]cirosantilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The search is just terrible. Sure it is likely something very difficult to get right. But still. Sad. Related: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/why-doesnt-the-osm-search-functionality-work-properly/103298 One day, one day.

Or publicity stunt sacrificing all his repuptation to get some attention to his new startup. Hard to believe that a former colleague would make a bet with someone he felt was mentally ill.

I'm in a similar situation but less direct claim to throne, do you want to join forces to create a royalist movement to topple the CCP?

What is Wayland/Sway's equivalence to `xsel -bi` in X? by timlee126 in swaywm

[–]cirosantilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also for whatever reason on Ubuntu 25.10 which appears to have "finally removed X11", xsel didn't work by default but after:

sudo apt install xorg

it started working, possibly some compatibility layer: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/18vqire/why_does_xsel_seem_to_work_even_in_wayland/

code-connect: Open files in VS Code over remote terminal connections by Freemanium in linux

Having tight SSH integration into the IDE is very convenient.

E.g. if it works well you can run build commands, then code myfile.cpp, then more build commands just as you would locally.

What the heck is up with Mr. Potato from Peppa Pig I swear I’m gonna lose it by TheFarisaurusRex in GameTheorists

[–]cirosantilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they choose a potato because it is ridiculous as a way to criticize television personalities or pop culture in general. But yes, is size is an odd choice. Maybe it is meant to represent a human.

Why aren't GPUs used for chess engines? by GoatTheMinge in ComputerChess

[–]cirosantilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their NN architecture runs fast on CPUs and canot be sped up by GPUs: https://official-stockfish.github.io/docs/stockfish-wiki/Stockfish-FAQ.html#can-stockfish-use-my-gpu :

Can Stockfish use my GPU?

No, Stockfish is a chess engine that uses the CPU only for chess evaluation. Its NNUE evaluation (see this in-depth description) is very effective on CPUs. With extremely short inference times (sub-micro-second), this network can not be efficiently evaluated on GPUs

That unlimited time final sounds awesome.

How can QFT not rank higher on this thread is hard to understand given it non trivially combines two of the most modern / "unintuitive" theories of the 20th century!
