@nprofile…kwjl "Small vector" is a term of art for a vector that has its storage within the object itself instead of allocated dynamically (see "small string optimization" for an analog as to why it means that). In that sense, it's closer to an array, but it can grow and shrink within its maximum size instead of being fixed at declaration. With all the template plumbing that comes with generic containers and the fact that the contained data isn't stored separately, "small vectors" are neither small in code nor byte size.

@nprofile…5dmj I've written an operator! to do a matrix transpose before because I had to move things back and forth between three different coordinates, and I thought it was too busy to keep writing out x.transposed() everywhere. When you're staring at blocks of math, the terseness of overloaded operators makes you forget the questionable semantics of it all.

@nprofile…5dmj @nprofile…vz6q I'm sure someone somewhere somewhen had to use it in some obscure character encoding that lacked an ampersand, but the alternative operators are basically just trivia, gotcha questions, or a means to troll students in modern times.

@nprofile…s07u @nprofile…nvyk @nprofile…5dmj @nprofile…rugn Last I was there, they were using triple buffering, a script was constantly running a robocopy to the A, B, and then C folders and everyone had to deal with a couple days old build; it was mostly fine as one could pull latest master and build on top what you had, but if there ever was a change to how assets were packed, everyone had to avoid syncing for a couple days.

@nprofile…5dmj @nprofile…nvyk @nprofile…rugn I was at a job that needed a nightly sync between international offices with deltas in the 500 to 1000 GB range; loading the data up on an SSD and "same day" shipping it was a serious consideration.

@nprofile…5dmj @nprofile…nvyk @nprofile…rugn In a corporate setting, it's really easy to ask IT for another hard drive, and they'll send over a dude to plug in another 2 TB SSD in under 30 minutes. The steady flow of new disks is cheaper than paying an engineer to pare back the dev install size.

@nprofile…5dmj @nprofile…hnev Yeah, even just remember three or four content words verbatim is probably enough to narrow it down to a handful of images in a 6 digit corpus with standard search. An LLM just helps if you only have a vague idea of what you're trying to remember: "it was a guy at public place acting weird and going 'huh?' to people. I think he was famous like an actor or something."

@nprofile…5dmj @nprofile…hnev AI image taggers are usually "bundle of words" classifiers akin to booru tags, and they can be pretty good if your images are of the right inclinations. They're useful if you're specifically not trying to look for text in image form. Running an OCR over all of them and sticking the output into an LLM and asking it would probably be the best you could do to bulk process that kind of stuff.

@nprofile…al36 My family likes to do a tradition of going to the Christmas Eve candle service together. The pastors always make a big deal out of how that specific day is the day they get the most people and presumably the most no believers to come, yet rather than take the opportunity to explore what spirituality is and why anyone listening should need it to have a complete life, they do the regular play music for 30 minutes before talking about the virgin Mary (with a strange emphasis on her being 13 at the time). It's no wonder atheism saw such a steep rise among young people.

@nprofile…kwjl There's the std::int32_t types if your target supports them or the alternative bit-fields if you need an odd ball 47 bit sized integer.
I wonder if I can just cheat my way into making Time Falcon use fixed point math by making everything an integer shifted upwards by 16-bits
That's all fixed point math is at the end of the day. You really only need a type to make working with normal numbers easier and to make printing to decimal look right.

If your #cpp looks something like:

template<Outer<N, T>::type U>
struct Outer<N, T>::template Inner<U> : Outer<N, T> {};
You got it correct.

Here's an absolutely deranged #cpp puzzle for anyone daring enough to take it on: what is the syntax for a delayed definition of a template inner class that inherits from a template outer class with the inner class's template arguments being dependent names of the outer class?

@nprofile…5dmj I can sort of see what you're saying. I was originally thinking along the lines of:
code -> effect
effect -> desire
desire -> code
where your points are the first and last with the intent prediction being in the middle. It depends on if you consider that a separate category or if it should be included at all on the topic of code.
Now I've got errant thoughts about if you could treat a program and memory snapshot as a logical programming language of some kind in order to define a desired change and generate all code changes that could bring it about.

@nprofile…5dmj How about something like "what ought the program do even if it does not?" I've noticed when I'm investigating a bug I'm not only trying to find where the problem is happening and how the code, as written, works but also trying to infer what it was designed to do regardless if the code follows it or not. It is a meta model of the code, so it might fall outside what you consider a "programmer's 'mental model' of code."

@nprofile…5dmj @nprofile…g9h8 I view the mind as being made up of intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom. Intelligence is ones ability to learn, to see patterns and make associations, what IQ tries to quantify. Knowledge is what one knows; it's all the factoids and experiences that can be recalled without thinking. Wisdom is the merging of those two. A wise person is one who has a large bank of knowledge to cite and an aptitude of seeing subtle patterns to pick salient ideas for whatever one is thinking about. Wisdom is how efficient one is at applied thinking.
I do not believe one can improve the fundamental ability of intelligence but one can increase one's knowledge thus increasing one's wisdom. "Brain exercises" show one how to think in order to improve some function of the mind, so they're bits of knowledge optimized at increasing wisdom but are sold as increasing intelligence.
I think you have a similar view to mine. To put your advanced academic study improving your thinking in unrelated topics idea into my system, the academic study increases knowledge but is irrelevant to intelligence. An intelligent person will get more out of studying, he will more likely see a way to tie the topic to a problem he encounters in the future, but his thinking mechanisms will remain unchanged.
