In fact people have met their partners on the boat, and there are "get to know each other" events and such. It happens! The cruise also (importantly) has a code of conduct policy everyone signs to get on board, which is taken seriously by the JoCo organization. Which helps people mingle comfortably. Quoting @michelesliger.bsky.social Any meet-cute stories on the nerd boat? Have you officiated a marriage of any couples who met there yet? I think if I had a chance at nerd love on the cruise, that might get me to step out of my comfort zone and go. Right now I think “nah, I’m too old for that, it’ll be nothing but young couples.” Related

In all seriousness, @jococruise.bsky.social is a truly excellent way for nerds (or anyone else!) to dip a toe into the cruise thing. The the community that's developed over 15 years of the cruise is welcoming and friendly. There are always things to do, officially programmed and otherwise. It's fun! Quoting @superobscure.com Is JoCo a good Nerd’s First Cruise? Or is it better-suited for Advanced Cruising Nerds? Related

Walter Russell Mead (@wrmead) on why Xi Jinping fears a US counter-blockade, and how China might try to still take Taiwan: "Xi Jinping is committed to trying to get Taiwan. The Chinese need a very high probability of success to commit themselves past a certain point, because failure would be catastrophic for whoever launched it. I think they're trying to get themselves into a position where they could have a soft blockade. They could give the orders that any ship that wants to go to Taiwan first has to stop at a Chinese port and go through a customs clearing process to assert sovereignty.

Why Fei-Fei Li Is Betting on Spatial Intelligence
3 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
So in the on the path to spatial intelligence, generating pixels is definitely a a early step, which we have seen with what you call it gazillions of models. But generating pixels that are truly spatially contextualized and grounded is absolutely another major step. And that is the very hard step that Atlas has taken.

Their words
It's the first time we have a unification of pixel generation and pixel reconstruction. In the world of computer vision this field has been around for more than half a century.

Their words
And I do believe Atlas is a significant step forward because now with every single frame, you have a you can generate an estimate a important piece of information, which is the the view viewpoint, the camera pose. And that is the most critical information one needs about the geometry of the of the space.

lazyweb: I'm curious about how to get a list of all of the different "kinds" of things SSH can do. my impression is that there's: - open a terminal session - just run one command - TCP port forwarding - X11 forwarding - copy files and that these all separate "commands" or "protocols" inside SSH. Not sure how to get a list of all of them though. edit: I think the answer is "read https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/master/PROTOCOL and https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4254.txt" Related

Sandy is conflating four stories: - The story of the contract programmer is incorrect, and was before Sandy’s time at id. The contract programmer was hired to do the SNES port of Wolf 3D (not the network code). They ended up not doing it. So, we had to stop development on DOOM for three weeks to do the port. That person was employed by another company at the time, and although they assured us they had approval to do the work, that was not true. To avoid a lawsuit, we gave them rights to publish the Mac version of Wolf 3D. See ch 12 DOOM Guy for this story. The person was a good programmer, bu… Quoting @SandyofCthulhu The house doesn't always win. Four anecdotes in which "I was there" when game companies got fleeced.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
