Isn't this a fundamental thing? Outside of special cases, once you have non-zero sum, or 3+ player games, evaluation seems kind of aspirational? Unless I guess you only care about properties of the entire population?

What I really want is an AI assistant that keeps asking pedantic follow up questions without ever giving you an answer. AI Overview: "Is it the same elephant, or are they two different elephants?" AI Overview: "Is one of the elephants on the moon? Mass is different than weight you know."

Choose you words wisely, the puppetteers are a deadly serious people.

Haven't people been arguing that they are trying to get more regulation in the space in order to add more hoops for the competition to jump through?

Was the garment was a single piece of cloth stretching to infinity in every direction with a single triangular hole, presumably for the wearer's head, cut out of the middle?

...but if worst case events are rare and decorrelated among members of the population, that seems like a much weaker source of evolutionary pressure to address those cases.
comment in response to post
I would think this must depend on how correlated worst case events are across members of the same species, right? Like if there are occasionally environmental worst-case scenarios that affect everybody at the same time, those species would go extinct if they couldn't handle those...

Regardless of the complaints about hype (which I agree with) I like seeing a single high-throughput simulator with good rendering that (at least appears to) support flexible workflows. Even if it's not as fast as they claim, if it's a decently performant one-stop-shop, that's still a win for me.

Bonus points if they have a six fingered barista

Aw man, I was almost finally up to speed with JAX, now I gotta pick up C++ again?

That's interesting, I'm not sure I was aware of that distinction. I've always thought of a "digital twin" as a very fancy model that is meant to be faithful to the real world, where a "model" is a broader category that includes more abstract representations.

Does scratch support bfloat16?

Godzilla wanted it more.

Others have said similar things, but first (if you don't already) make sure you have a reproducible test case. Then isolate which part of the thing is slower between runs, being careful to make sure you are measuring the right thing. This will hopefully cut down your debugging search space.

Unfortunately we have no normalizing constant. This is not a distribution but an energy landscape.

I REALLY like the colors... but the boing is hard to read white on yellow...

Watch the second one, it will change your mind.

👍cool, if you're working in this area and want to chat sometime I'm always up for it

This can be good! It's a sign of a strong mind that there are more interesting things to do than you have time for! Personally, I would prefer this to being bored.

The long shot that starts a little under two minutes into this video is the greatest achievement in cinematic history. May never be topped. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7KMN...

Don't keep me in suspense, what did they do?

He is actively alienating everyone in this country who can independently control each of their eyeballs. Those people get a vote too!

Another one of his accomplishments I've never heard of.

Wait, if she gets elected, can we have a cat in the oval office?!? Just like Larry?!? Am I about to volunteer to knock on doors for a political campaign?!? What is happening to me?!?

Maybe look forward to being surprised by the mysterious thing you haven't seen and can't know yet.

I went to a theater after not having been in several years as well, and the thing that struck me the most was seeing high-production-value advertising targeted at a general audience again.

After what the republicans put Hunter through, I think the it's going to be open season for the Dems on the Hamburglar. That guys has SKELETONS in his closet.

What would you do if you had this much cat?

Could make more as an AirBnB

I (respectfully) disagree with the premise. There are a TON of great sculptors now, in fine art (Ron Mueck!) and commercial art (all the amazing VFX over the last 30 years). There are plenty of people alive who are at least as talented and are well compensated, they're just not ancient and famous.
