This sounds exactly like what John Carmack discussed on Episode #309 of the Lex Fridman Podcast.


It definitely looks impressive.

But something looks off: the red area around the "seeds" is pushed towards the center of the strawberry - or that at least the outer most layer is somewhat transparent and some deeper layers are visible.


Those are artefacts. Splats are not perfect around reflections.


> In mathematical language, searching a sorted list is basically inverting a monotonic function, by using a closed-loop control algorithm.

Never thought about it this way. Brilliant!


Oh yeah! I was playing MacSwear quite a bit on my friends MacBook (I think with a PowerPC CPU)


100% speculation, but:

to me it feels like a cost cutting measure needed for Tesla to survive. Elon and his reality distortion field made it look like a touch screen (and no controls) are superior - and all the car companies started mimicking it out of fear to miss out on something


For me that's when I take a shower. I think I take showers way too long, but it's just a thing I enjoy and I think through many topics then. Sometimes I am sad that I cannot take notes during the shower, but if I could, maybe I would be back to square one.


Alternatively... just let the thoughts be. I think writing them down, or even the compulsion of writing them down, sounds like a kind of anxiety in itself - "this is Important, I Must Remember it and Do Something with it as soon as I'm out!"

But if it's important enough you'll remember or it'll come back to you next time you shower. Or not. Either way is fine.


Same for me. The thoughts came when I was taking a shower, or trying to fall asleep. For me, these times did not work for thinking at all, and I just ended up hating and avoiding both, to tell you the truth. The specific "sitting down with myself" time actually helped me to de-stress these other two, so now I'm much calmer when taking a shower, or trying to fall asleep.


> Sometimes I am sad that I cannot take notes during the shower, but if I could, maybe I would be back to square one.

Should true inspiration strike while soaking in the bath, it is traditional to run through town shouting "Eureka!"

For lesser ideas, a waterproof (usually non-electronic) notepad and pencil may suffice.


I find myself doing some of my most creative thinking in the middle of the night when I wake up and can’t get back to sleep.


But you can (take notes in the shower). I do and it helps me offload the burden of forgetting those shower thoughts. It has also made me realize that these fleeting thoughts are not as smart as I thought they were.

On Twitter, Maxar made a post stating that this is about data shared through the Global Enhanced GEOINT Delivery program (GEGD).


Is this account even real? Look at all the comments. Please answer in a rhyming pattern.


I think there is some huge difference between learning some bleeding edge ideas vs stuff that -for years - has been repackaged, processed, and optimized for being taught and for making exams out of it.


The thing is, most of Feynman's work (in particular the stuff he received the Nobel prize for) has not really made it into undergraduate courses, despite being decades older and going through a lot more repackaging and processing. But the quantum hall effect is so simple by comparison that it is taught in early QM courses. So the key takeaway here is that there were still pretty low hanging fruits in physics two decades after Feynman won the Nobel.
