OK, this is really cool for all your realistic height map needs!

This is indeed a strange default used for sockets there... will have bad consequences for sure in more situations than expected.

A few compelling arguments for the impact of the latest strain of generative neural networks. The consequences for the eroded trust about online content are clear. I'm less convinced about some of the longer term predictions this piece proposes though.

Nice article. Keep an eye on potential collisions indeed. Depending on the use of your hashes this can be critical.

Python is getting faster but is still far from what you can get with C++ of course. That said, for simulations you likely don't want everything in Python or in C++. Part of the challenge is to split the subsystems properly and use C++ where it matters.

Like it or not, this is definitely filling a very unique niche. It's a very good fit for system software where safety is important and available time limited. There is no better option for now.

As they say: follow the money. That gives an idea about the incentives and various agendas behind this take over.

Looks like an interesting frontend stack. Still young but probably worth keeping an eye on.

There it is... at least for the developers and gamers demographic.

There are a few reasons to worry about the latest strain of generative neural networks. One of them is the trust we can place in new generated content. The other one is indeed the impact on our culture. There's been already a trend at focusing on what sells rather than what's truly novel or avant-garde. This could well push it further. We'll we drown in mediocre content?

International Domain Names indeed opened a whole can of worms. This creates plenty of opportunities for confusions and mistakes waiting to happen... or to be exploited.

Good and reasonable advices... doesn't make them easy to truly apply though. It's likely worth trying to live by them still.

Good points, this shows quite effectively the problem with blindly following rules without keeping in mind the reasoning behind them.

This is a big deal, it's time we open up that can of worms.

Interesting tool to for the automatic transcription and translation of videos using off the shelf components. Seems to work nicely.

This is really cool work. Very insightful and pretty to look at.

Don't worry, so called AI isn't going to take away your jobs. But do worry though, this marks the end of trusting any pictures or texts you see in the media. Everything needs to be challenged, even more so now.

This is indeed very much true... there's a clear crisis in research. It turned into a hamster wheel of publishing articles at a constantly faster pace. The incentives are misguided which pushes that behavior to even have a career. Meanwhile, knowledge building suffers.

Good piece. I like how it frames the debate, asking the right questions on where might be the assumptions on how testing is done.

This is indeed a problem in the way Pipenv handle this kind of cases. Makes for bisecting clearly troublesome.
