@ShriramKMurthi “Dante believe everything you read by AI”

[Catmull-RomCom @AmbientLion]

@TheMirzaBeig This seems like a lack of debug validation in SG tooling. Should be guarded against as a sanity check.

[Catmull-RomCom @AmbientLion]

@ShriramKMurthi Aside from the ridiculously short memories many people have, they’re also largely inattentive and willing to jump to conclusions about the whys, what’s, and who’s. But what’s really aggravating in all of this, is how it gets recast as “he’s working hard to rescue it”. Ridiculous.

@ShriramKMurthi How would Flatlanders distinguish a triangle from any other shape?

@norootcause “Good works in mysterious ways … and with a fixed budget.”

[Catmull-RomCom @AmbientLion]

that’s why the right to a fair trial isn’t a human right (requires labor of judges) nor is freedom of movement (requires maintained roads and transit systems) or right to public safety (sorry, police, EMTs, firefighters), right to access food and water, right to an education. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@leopd Mahalanobis distance reshapes the data using the covariance matrix into a lower-dimensional, uncorrelated space - seems useful for scaling anomaly detection, clustering, or other ML tasks.

@DMeville Instantiate volumes dynamically along a spline?

@EricLengyel “I need three pointers to functions that return an array of functions that return three pointers to an array of ints, please.”

@DMeville Once on the table, merchant makes comments about the quality and appropriateness of the fish for him (ie inspecting it). If he’s happy with it, he throws some coins at you, and throws t the fish in a basket.

[Catmull-RomCom @AmbientLion]

@DMeville NPC dialog reveals what kind of fish they��re looking for. Sometimes overly, sometimes subtly. Having the right kinds of fish yields better rewards from merchants. Merchants needs change over time. As for interaction UI, you place the fish on a table in front of the merchant.

@pickover I mean, is the analytic continuation of the product-log function “easy” or “difficult”?

@DMeville Disco ball motor. Continuous. Bi-Directional. Small form factor. 1.5-2.5 rpm. ~8-10$ on amzn

[Catmull-RomCom @AmbientLion]

@DMeville Can you ignore the rotation/scaling and select a random point in the box’s AABB space? Then rotate the point into world space?

@norootcause Hire smart, experienced people? (Obviously reductive)

@norootcause Harsh

[Catmull-RomCom @AmbientLion]

@norootcause So this is the “I have to be right every time, but only in the highest risk category of decisions: fixing things IN production”

[Catmull-RomCom @AmbientLion]

@norootcause Sometimes fast, approximate, incorrect answers are useful - but only if you have the knowledge and context to adapt them and recognize where they’re wrong. The main risk is newcomers to any field/domain lack that, and are likely to accept LLM answers as authoritative.
