The author argues that Geometric Algebra (GA) has flaws that need to be addressed in order for it to succeed, particularly its overemphasis on the geometric product and lack of self-awareness about its limitations. The author believes that GA's underlying concepts, such as multivectors and the wedge product, are valuable but that the GA movement's ideology and framework are problematic and ...

The game offers real-time simulation with fully simulated projectile ballistics and terrain deformation, allowing for diverse strategies on each map. Players can choose from over 10 unit classes to balance resource income and production for victory.
This project aims to create a voxel game using APL notation, with installation instructions for macOS and Linux. Compilation on Windows requires SDL3 dev libraries and cmake-gui, with shaders compiled using ./compile_shaders.sh.
Google's measurements show IPv6 reaching 50% for the first time, but APNIC Labs data shows a 42% worldwide IPv6 capability. IPv6 adoption varies across regions and economies, with some countries like India and Saudi Arabia showing different adoption curves.
Yes, I used Google Anti-Gravity to convert the programs from GW-BASIC to 'C', but what a better learning tool than to debug a program? This repository contains a 'C' port of the classic GW-BASIC games from David Ahl's "BASIC Computer Games" and "More BASIC Computer Games" originally published by Creative Computing. The original games were written in ...
Loupe is an iOS app that shows device fingerprinting data from public APIs, helping users see what apps can quietly learn about their device. It's free and open source, with a Mac version in development.
The user created a Debian package called pve-microvm that adds QEMU's microvm machine type as a first-class managed guest in Proxmox VE, allowing for fast and isolated VMs with a custom kernel and minimal virtio-only environment. The package supports 21 guest OS types, including Linux, NetBSD, and Plan9, and provides features like sub-300ms boot times, virtio devices, and vsock CID for ...
The author experimented with two optimizations for AVX-512 vertex decoding in meshoptimizer, but only one made it in. The first optimization used a branchless formulation to decode zigzag encoded integers, while the second used AVX-512 predication support to compile the branching variant directly.
Finland's libraries are thriving as community service centers, offering more than just books, and promoting social inclusion and democracy. They are valued for their role in helping societies function, with over 700 libraries serving Finland's 5.6 million people.
The user explored how Windows handled opening non-executable files from 1989's Windows 386/2.11 to 2015's Windows 10, noting changes in file type association UI and functionality. The user observed a shift from basic dialogs to more complex and flat interfaces, with varying levels of interactivity and options for selecting programs to open non-executable files.

The user discusses the differences between epoll and io_uring for handling asynchronous I/O on Linux, highlighting io_uring's efficiency and reduced syscall overhead. io_uring is recommended for modern Linux projects due to its improved performance and architectural changes.
Prolonged exhalation breathing can increase cardiac parasympathetic activity, leading to enhanced reward sensitivity and increased risky choices. This effect is associated with changes in brain activity in regions involved in reward processing, such as the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and precuneus.
macOS uses two path separators: slash (/) and colon (:), inherited from classic Mac OS and Unix. This dual system causes files to appear with slashes or colons in their names, depending on the context.
Web developers often misunderstand how CORS works, leading to security vulnerabilities like the recent Zoom vulnerability, which was caused by bypassing CORS to access a localhost webserver. A secure implementation would involve implementing a REST API with CORS headers and a Content Security Policy to prevent unauthorized access.
Microsoft just shipped the Release Candidate for TypeScript 7, with the stable release expected next month. And the big deal, for once, isn't a new syntax or yet another config flag. It's that the entire compiler has been rewritten in Go. Over the past year, the team ported the existing codebase (until now, TypeScript that compiled to JavaScript) to Go. It was done methodically from ...
LymeAlert is a 15-minute tick test that can detect Lyme disease, priced at $40 per test. It's designed to help people avoid unnecessary doctor visits and antibiotic doses by testing ticks for the disease.
My agent stack with Hermes runs on a workstation. The models run on a DGX Spark on the same LAN. The split is deliberate: the workstation stays responsive, the Spark does the GPU work, and they talk over an HTTP proxy. Since I started managing the agent fleet through Clawrium, the Hermes count has climbed. More agents on more hosts, more concurrent traffic, all hitting the same Spark. What ...
Skip to content I’m excited to share something new I’ve been working on. It’s a sky atlas that runs entirely in your web browser. No app store, no signup, no servers. Just tell it where you are and it draws the live sky above your head, exactly as it is right now. Live sky – Set your location and it tracks the real sky second by second. Use your phone to aim the view. Time travel – Scrub ...

Unauthorized alert with "misantropi4" message sent to cell phones in Brazil, suspected to be a hacker attack. Brazilian government is investigating the incident and restoring the National Civil Defense's warning platform.
A PID controller is a feedback-based control loop mechanism used in industrial control systems to manage machines and processes with continuous control and automatic adjustment. It compares the desired target value with the actual value of the system and applies corrective actions to bring the system to the desired setpoint using proportional, integral, and derivative methods.
Researchers developed a new system for whole cross-sectional ultrasound tomography, enabling imaging of the entire human cross-section in reflection and transmission modes. This system has potential applications in clinical needs, such as adipose thickness assessment and video-rate biopsy needle localization.
The user built a 4-bit CPU kit called TD4 from Aliexpress, which has 2 registers, LEDs, and 16 bytes of program ROM, and wrote notes to help others understand its architecture and usage. The user encountered some difficulties during assembly, including soldering the USB connector and understanding the directionality of surface mount diodes, but eventually got the CPU working and wrote a ...
The next time someone talks about restricting immigration, show them this: Nearly half of America’s billion-dollar startups were founded by people born outside the United States. Our research at Stanford’s Venture Capital Initiative shows that immigrant entrepreneurs aren’t just contributing to the U.S. innovation ecosystem — they’re helping to lead it. The analysis of 1,078 founders behind ...
