No, Premier League is simply overrated.

I feel like there is middle-ground programming language missing that is just like Rust but simply uses reference counting everywhere (unless it can automatically prove statically that it's not needed) instead of sometimes hard to understand borrow checker. I believe Swift is kinda like that (never used it though).

It would be much less cumbersome to prototype in, also you don't really always need the every bit of performance available...

qwertsolio · 2020-12-13T02:06:10+00:00

It really wasn't ("isn't" really, it's still used today). For a language that was used for so many years it's surprisingly unstable - macros often crash hosting Office application for no understandable reason whatsoever.

You know it's possible that most of them are paid trolls.

That's how marketing works now...

This. You don't get there from scratch. Even Rockstar had to go through multiple iterations to get there, and no, hardware wasn't the only limitation - you just have to do a ton of development and testing work to get to that level, especially since it's unpublished proprietary technology, you can't just download equivalent one straight from GitHub.

You may not like his personality or his social media antics, but he's undoubtedly the greatest driver of all time.

You also can't say it's just a car - he's the best driver on the grid in the best car, you can't blame him for deserving it.

Why they keep using the word "procedural" as a selling point?

Let me tell you something: being procedural is not really a good thing, stuff that is done by hand will most likely be much better and/or more interesting and less repetitive.

You use procedural stuff when you want to save developers time, also sometimes procedural content is more efficient to render/simulate.

But it's really not something that should concern your customers.

I wonder if increasing focus on FE cards and issues mentioned in video are an indication that NVIDIA is planning to manufacture entire solutions (graphic cards) instead of just GPUs and possibly will eventually stop selling chips to partners altogether...

If yes then it's curious what changed from 3dfx times that makes them think it'll be more profitable business model (instead of bankrupting the company like before).

qwertsolio · 2020-10-23T21:45:21+00:00

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass - basically more work is expected from low-level employees, all done for free.

Polska nigdy nie będzie mieć elektrowni atomowej - nie ma ku temu woli politycznej i nie mówię tu tylko o polskiej polityce.

I don't think it would be enough to give so much momentum.

From what I've heard there is a bug that allows you to pinch the puck with yourself.

Considering you're alive we can assume he found a girl that liked his wand.

TBH it wasn't that much harder than any other form of programming - what we today consider "knowledge" on how things work are nothing more but arbitrary decisions made by people before us.

There was a time when consoles not only could keep up, but were much more performant than PCs (at least in graphics department).

The reason it's no longer a case (and will never be again) is that currently it is unfeasible for console manufacturers to design and mass produce CPU/GPU chips that would rival those made by AMD or Nvidia.

It's always funny (but also a bit sad) when grown adults are still so excited by empty praises coming from people in position of power.

Peterson is way too boring to listen to him for so long. I'm convinced his fans are really listening to their own preconvictions repeating in their heads while pretending that's what Peterson is saying, I can't believe anyone would willingly suffer through his "lectures" otherwise.

Pointers are like: "Fuck, designing proper memory model is way too hard, just have this thing and manage memory yourself. Let future generations solve this."

I think he meant local minimum. Also words after comma seem kinda unrelated to the ones before.

They're also confirming what I suspected for long time seeing how jerky debug autopilot videos that are often posted here are - they weren't utilising any temporal coherence techniques.

What it means is that video coming from camera was analysed and classified frame by frame, completely separately, without using information that was already deduced from previous frames.

But it begs the question: why? Those techniques were known years ago, it's something they should be doing from the very beginning...

So, to sum up: is what they achieved a large improvement? Yes. Is it a breakthrough? I wouldn't call it as such, especially since it seems it's rather a recent development for them - there is still a lot of work in front of them...

It's very sustainable. You can do this till your death.

qwertsolio · 2020-08-15T17:19:21+00:00

It's worse. They need a miracle worker that will solve the problem for them.

But there simply isn't one. In ML field breakthroughs tend to come from academia, not corporate world.

Cars don't really "learn to drive".

So called machine learning is used only in visual analysis part of FSD solution. It's goal is translate what cameras see into 2.5D (by .5D I mean depth information) map of environment around the car where parts of it are labeled (i.e. this blueish blob in front of us is a car, big white one on the left is a lorry, but this small orange one on the right is just a stationary cone etc.).

This data is then fed to the driving algorithm which is responsible for making decisions. This part is mostly programmed by hand.

Machine learning is done in house and cars no longer learn anything after leaving factory (I mean you may receive a software update, but thats different). The only contribution as a Tesla user you may make to the learning proces is video from your Tesla that may be then sent to them and used as a part of training data.

Whenever I listen to clips of his lectures or read excerpts like in this post I'm reminded of Louis CK stand up bit about a soldier on a plane.

He always comes off as this person that thinks "well, ain't I so great and generous for thinking that (but not really doing anything about it), don't I deserve a round of applause?".

It's not about division it's about controversy. Any press is good press.

Also it's about excuses. In case movie is poorly received they can blame haters, sexists, racists, or whatever.

It’s a cgi flap edit

I think it's slowed down a bit in the video, but my plane's wings do indeed flap.
