User created an Excalidraw extension to generate SVGs for light and dark mode, but it caused frustration due to dependency on text changes. They then created a new extension that automatically exports frames as SVGs in both modes, allowing for local review and reference.
Cloudflare's Turnstile program collects 55 properties from a user's browser, including font measurements, storage, and React application data, to verify the user is running a real browser with a fully rendered ChatGPT application. The program uses a custom VM with a server-generated XOR key to collect and encrypt the fingerprint data, which is then sent as the OpenAI-Sentinel-Turnstile-Token ...
A seminal 1952 paper lays the foundation for optimal control and reinforcement learning. bellman extended his work to continuous-time systems, turning the optimal condition into the pde. he estimates $v_kapprox valpha_j$ by monte carlo rollouts of the closed-loop sde and fits $v_theta$ via regression. $$ learned value function matches the exact power-law $
VHDL's delta cycle algorithm preserves determinism in a concurrent language by separating signal value updates and process evaluations into distinct phases. In contrast, Verilog's nonblocking assignments do not solve the problem of non-determinism in general, although they can provide determinism in synchronous designs.
Voyager 1, a 48-year-old spacecraft, is still functioning and transmitting data from interstellar space despite having only 69 kilobytes of memory and an 8-track tape recorder. It has made numerous discoveries and is now the most distant human-made object in the universe, carrying a golden record with sounds of Earth for potential extraterrestrial life.
It’s been over 3 years since I’ve spent considerable time finding the best C++ hashmap. After several requests I finally gave in and redid the benchmark with state of C++ hashmaps as of August 2022. This took much more work than I initially anticipated, mostly due to the fact that benchmarks take a looong time, and writing everything up and creating a representation that is actually useful ...

Philadelphia courts ban smart eyewear with recording capabilities due to potential witness and juror intimidation. Those caught attempting to bring smart eyewear into courtrooms may be barred entry or arrested for criminal contempt.
I'd love to hear where you've run into the limits of current coding models, whether it's based on lines of code, systems integration, databases, etc. I found sonnet 4.5 struggled with a two pointer interval merge (two sorted lists of things with start stop timestamps), but opus 4.5 managed. Then it took opus 4.6 to make it a three way or k way merge. So it reminded me of the ...
Real-time texture compression is exciting because it allows new hardware formats to be adopted without waiting for content to be created targeting them, and it's a lot easier to introduce new hardware formats. Native hardware compression is a compelling alternative to real-time compression, but it's currently limited to modern high-end devices and has varying quality across vendors.
Pong, a simple video game, was invented in 1972 by Nolan Bushnell and Allan Alcorn, and it became a huge success, launching the video game industry. The game's simplicity and market awareness made it ubiquitous, winning broad social acceptance and paving the way for Atari's success.
