Isn't the only difference between rotors, as defined in this article, and quaternions the sign of the second 3d component?

And this only happens because the planes are defined as "xy", "xz" and "yz", rather than the more consistent "xy", "yz" and "zx"?

If you just changed the definition of the planes at the start of the derivation, it seems you would end up deriving the exact same operations as you would use with quaternions? I'm not sure if there is a good argument for not doing that.

Math on Wikipedia is just absolutely atrocious.

I mean, no, they didn't actually occur, that is the good part.

That doesn't let Ross off the hook for attempting to make them occur.

Because there was no need to, the other charges were enough to put him away for life.

There's really very little reason to doubt he did it, either.

If Bezos tried to have six people killed, then yeah, he should be in jail.

The cost is the countermeasure, by design.

So: Short a large amount of bitcoins, 51% attack until value plunges, earn massive amounts of money.

Of course, the problem with this is that there is no exchange that you can trust enough to actually do this.

There are many more ways to make money off a 51% attack than just altering transactions.

> If a big crypto-community notices an attack, the cost of a 51% attack would rise

Would it though, really? Why?

On the contrary, someone performing a 51% attack can and will freeze out all other miners, leaving them operating at a pure loss. If the attacker manages to keep up the attack, he will be able to bankrupt the competing miners, forcing them to turn off their hash power, and thus lowering the cost for himself.

WebGPU is a simpler API for doing modern rendering, with less tradeoff.

OpenGL is not simple if you want to actually do useful things with it.

I mean, that is exactly what WebGPU is, so I am not understanding why you are so determined to complain about it.

And it became increasingly less of a good fit with each one. By now, it is ridiculously mismatched to the task it needs to perform.

Just leave it to die.

Why would that make things better, rather than the fairly obvious "worse"?

What's so "surely" about it?

That API is under development, it is WebGPU.

OpenGL absolutely is a legacy API today. It has been an awful impedance mismatch to modern GPUs for about a decade now.

That will most likely be the already mentioned WebGPU.

OpenGL really is a legacy API in 2020. There is a massive mismatch between modern GPU design and the OpenGL API design. The only reason it wasn't left behind a decade ago is that there wasn't a decent replacement.

Today, with Vulkan and soon WebGPU available, there really is very little reason to hang on to OpenGL for anything but legacy.

This I/O device thing seems to be a feature of one specific wasm engine that just exposes a simple framebuffer, so, it has nothing to do with anything else.

Got it the second time.

It is definitely 100% gremlin: https://digg.com/2015/myers-briggs-secret-history

Myers-Briggs is a proprietary test marketed by a commercial company. It is meant to extract money from corporate customers.

> The first big leap is considering experience to be a continuum from humans down to inorganic matter.

Why is that a leap, while considering it to be discontinuous is not?

How does that make any sense?

Sure, those that have their own culture do exists, but a lot of times, it's not even that.

It's a weird mindset, and it's definitely tied in to the toxic streak of white supremacy that runs through all of American culture.

That really doesn't resolve anything, and just further demonstrates the really weird relationship with race and nationality that Americans have.

Namely: Why would it be called "white EUROPEAN" when basically none of the people it is applied to are European in any reasonable sense of the word? They may have great-great-great-grandparents who were European, but that does not make them European.

Americans do this all the time - they call themselves "german", "irish", or "italian", even when they are not born there, do not speak the language, have never even visited the country, and have zero exposure to the culture of that country.

If.

What research?

They are not very approving of prostitution, so that is unlikely. Don't take the name they have selected for themselves at face value.

Sure, if you don't care about transitions and animations at all.

If you're wanting to do a really responsive and nice-feeling app, the react model hinders you far more than it helps.
