If you just need collision detection of convex polyhedra, you might get away with just implementing the separating plane algorithm: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~baraff/sigcourse/notesd2.pdf

Clojure uses immutable lists, vectors, hashmaps, and sets. Also it has syntax sugar such as [1 2 3] for vectors, {"Jan" 31 "Feb" 28} for hashmaps, #{1 2 3} for sets, and much more. Also it has multimethods which are even more generic than CLOS.

Bought a Sainsmart robot arm because it was cheap and has 6 degrees of freedom. I don't use it for anything serious though. It was just to practice some robotic programming. https://github.com/wedesoft/arduino-sainsmart

Maybe one should use something like energy-based out of distribution detection to prevent LLMs from making bold statements even when the confidence should be low. https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.03759

You can also find tutorials in the Internet about building a Raspberry Pi Zumo robot. Here is mine: https://github.com/wedesoft/raspberry-zumo

Early stopping is just one way of regularization. You can use L2 or dropout and then you can train until your model converges.

Maybe it's time for something based on Nostr. For example there is nvote.co (not working right now). I started using the iris.to Nostr web client which acts like a Twitter replacement.

distributed > federated

Wrote a post om how to access Nostr using the iris.to web client in case it helps: https://www.wedesoft.de/software/2023/04/25/nostr/

Bought it from the website https://buy.indiegamethemovie.com/ and just watching it. Thanks a lot for the tip! Really engaging documentary.

I can recommend Qt https://www.qt.io/ . Not only is it a well designed C++ library, but it is also cross-platform. For creating Windows installers, I use NSIS.

Hypercomplex numbers are different to quaternions. They also have 4 components but the multiplication of hypercomplex numbers is commutative.

RethinkDB. You copy the default configuration, restart the server, and you have a database supporting queries and real-time notifications, and a web interface to monitor and interact with the database.

You can install the "View Image" Firefox addon to get a direct link to the image in your Google Image Search.

If you're coming from Java, you might want to look at Clojure. It has immutable datastructures and Java interop.

According to [1] there were more fires during the medieval warm period. "The scientists found the years from 800 to 1300, known as the Medieval Warm Period, had the most frequent fires in the 3,000 years studied."

Ah, I see. Not so sure myself now.

Orbiter 2016 is a brilliant game. I am currently trying to do a small space simulator in Clojure (https://github.com/wedesoft/sfsim25) and I probably should take a look at the Orbiter source code.

I think you meant to say "pointing the nose to the space station in 50 km and applying thrust towards it turns out to be a sure way to NOT get to that station"

Edited: made mistake as well ;)

The James-Webb telescope is supposed to launch this year: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/webb/main/index.html

You can just use "(clojure.main/repl)" to start a repl with environment in your code.

Yes, I also was confused because this Pixie [1] already is open source.

We are using Mumble (https://www.mumble.info/) to be able to hear your colleagues the whole day. When I need to focus more, I go to a virtual office in Mumble.

Microsoft tried to spread FUD about Linux patents and by trying to scare the industry into buying patent licenses from Novell (which had acquired SuSE).

In math you can prove statements given a set of axioms. But in physics you can just validate things with experiments.

Clojure code is more dense, but once you stop trying to read as many LOC per minute as you would in other languages you are fine. Also the increased use of pure functions and immutable datastructures makes it easier to reason about code.

I used the PulseAudio simple API only to find out that it didn't work. Only when I changed to the normal API it started working.

Did you use transactions? I noticed a significant performance increase after wrapping blocks of queries with BEGIN TRANSACTION and COMMIT TRANSACTION.

Worked at an optics company and they were spoiling lenses until someone discovered that Excel was rounding values to two digits after the comma (financial rounding).

I am not sure which link you mean.
