When writing functions in TypeScript (and, truthfully, any language that does not support named parameters), you either pass arguments individually ( n params) or group them into a single object. While both are valid, I am yet to find a case were object parameters aren't the better choice. Say you call a function which creates a user: const signup = () => { // ... createUser("John", "Doe", 28, true); // ... }; At a glance, can you tell what each value means? You’re left guessing: what’s 28 ?

For my game The Big Forest I want to have creatures that are both procedurally generated and animated, which, as expected, is quite a research challenge. As mentioned in my 2024 retrospective, I spent the last six months of 2024 working on this — three months on procedural model generation and three months on procedural animation. My work on the creatures actually started earlier though. According to my commit history, I started in 2021 after shipping Eye of the Temple for PCVR, though my work

Meta has released a new collection of AI models, Llama 4, in its Llama family — on a Saturday, no less. There are four new models in total: Llama 4 Scout, Llama 4 Maverick, and Llama 4 Behemoth. All were trained on “large amounts of unlabeled text, image, and video data” to give them “broad visual understanding,” Meta says. The success of open models from Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, which perform on par or better than Meta’s previous flagship Llama models, reportedly kicked Llama development into

Overview The Growth and AI Transition Endogenous (GATE) model is an integrated assessment model of the impact of AI development on the economy. To accompany our paper describing the GATE model in detail, we have developed a playground that allows interested readers to modify parameter settings and observe the model’s behavior in a wide range of scenarios. In this documentation, we describe the following: A concise summary of how the GATE model is structured, implemented, and solved. How to

Azure Pipelines in action pt. III - reasonably secure deploys to IIS 04 Mar, 2025 Note: this approach might not be the easiest nor the most secure! The key point here is combining JEA with Azure Pipelines, but the whole process described here can be more complex than needed. Apparently it's much better to run the agent directly on the server Trying to implement a deployment flow from Azure Devops to an on-prem IIS server, where every account is not an administrator, is a surprisingly difficul

The Alibaba office building is seen in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, China, on Aug 28, 2024. Alibaba shares surged on Wednesday after the Chinese behemoth revealed a new reasoning model it claims can rival DeepSeek's global blockbuster R1. Hong Kong-listed shares of Alibaba ended the Thursday session up 8.39% — hitting a new 52-week high — with the company's New York-trading stock rising around 2.5% in premarket deals. Alibaba shares have gained nearly 71% in Hong Kong in the year to date. The C

In Brief Researchers have developed small robots that can work together as a collective that changes shape and even shifts between solid and “fluid-like” states — a concept that should be familiar to anyone still haunted by nightmares of the T-1000 robotic assassin from “Terminator 2.” A team led by Matthew Devlin of UC Santa Barbara described this work in a paper recently published in Science, writing that the vision of “cohesive collectives of robotic units that can arrange into virtually an

The Lucy spacecraft just got its first good look at the main belt asteroid Donaldjohanson as the NASA mission prepares to explore the Trojan asteroids as far out as Jupiter. Donaldjohanson is not a Trojan asteroid, but is located in a convenient position for Lucy to swing by before continuing on to its main targets. Donaldjohanson—named for the anthropologist who discovered the fossilized hominid Lucy in 1974—is a small main belt asteroid at roughly 3 miles (4 kilometers) in diameter. Newly re

On May 16, 2024, a powerful derecho swept through Houston, killing seven people and causing significant damage to several of the city's towering skyscrapers. Those buildings were constructed to withstand much stronger hurricane-force winds up to 67 meters per second, as one would get with a Category 4 hurricane. The derecho's winds peaked at 40 meters per second, well below that threshold. And when Hurricane Beryl hit Houston that July with roughly comparable wind speeds of 36 meters per second,
