I don’t know the details but building upon previous research is the foundation of the scientific method. Additionally, the scales were probably not named like that by the authors.

But… but we have LLMs now! They are going to save us and the economy… right?

Note that this was an exaggeration of my experience with LaTeX, it’s not like I use these commands everywhere. I think its better to let LaTeX do its job. Nevertheless, looseness=-1 can help to cram a few words in a new line into the previous paragraph, which subjectively looks better sometimes and frees up some space. Negative vspace around figures or tables can also be used to make more space for text and avoid unwanted page breaks. Manual linebreaks can come in handy if you switch TeX engines (e.g. pdfTeX -> LuaTeX) and somehow things don’t look like they are supposed to look. You can do it right or you can add manual linebreaks here and there to get the same results.

LaTeX and the wonderful world of \looseness=-1, manual linebreaks and negative vspace

(but it’s still leagues ahead of word)

Hell yeah

Meanwhile Nintendo: almost wait a decade to pay 2x the original price on the used market

The funny thing is that the vast majority of NVIDIA GPUs are probably used in Linux-based systems because of the MLAI hype.

I had stairs inside my house because it felt natural and pals got stuck every few minutes and sometimes could not get to the second floor at all. When I turned around the stairs (so they enter the second floor from the outside), everything started to work surprisingly well. Pathfinding is extremely buggy, but sometimes you can (try to) work around its limitations.

Ah yes, blue video mood

Breaking: turing-complete system can simulate any turing machine

Damn, I was hoping they would fix pathfinding in water. I built my base next to a sea and my pals occasionally get stuck in there… although I built stairs into the sea. Raids are boring as hell as enemies also just get stuck in the water (even though they have these stairs just in front of their noses). Somehow the pathfinding cannot connect swimming in water and climbing the stairs. I’ve tried various locations and combinations of structures, they never use it :(

It would be so funny if washing machines were the first to become sentient

I agree when it comes to average usage, but having >=1Gbps headroom for bursty traffic, e.g., when moving files locally between devices, is awesome.

Smartphones are already insanely energy efficient. But instead of tuning them for longer battery life, companies kept pushing for faster processing, higher resolutions and refresh rates in the last few years. Now there’s diminishing returns (imo 4k on a 6" device is just absurd) so I expect future devices to double down on energy efficiency. But then maybe companies just end up decreasing the battery’s capacity for lower weight…

Aren’t notification LEDs somewhat obsolete now that we have always on displays? One advantage could be that they are less power hungry than keeping the screen / touch panel alive all the time. But in theory one could just create a permanent “notification LED” with an always on display, then it’s the same thing from a user’s perspective.

We are one… nemeses!

guitar solo intensifies

Wow, nice! I mean it’s not a game changer but a nice little gimmick that I appreciated when playing spider man on PC. Just a bummer that haptic feedback only works when using a wired connection (at this point).

The songs are great but the overall film is rather weak in my opinion. Especially in comparison with masterpieces like Princess Mononoke. To me it felt like a musical with some bits of non-canon fanservice in between. Anyway, it’s nice to see that many others like it!
