container: ☑ Pointer / iterator stability. • Memory block reuse. • O(1) on insert amortized. - O(1) on erase amortized (regardless of location). Skipfields are used during iteration to skip empty blocks each game entity to determine if it exists inside the frustum. Does not scale well, O(N) time complexity. We need a data structure that represents the map in a way for us to search faster. ## Quadtrees Can’t be SIMD-ed. - Low occupancy on the GPU. But when you’re iterating large data sets, time complexity has higher importance. Regardless, we now have the list of entities that we can send to the GPU

model is intended to be generalizable across many downstream tasks, the cost of pre-training can be amortized amongst these tasks. BERT has been used across a large number of NLU tasks. Say we consider the linearly or exponentially to reach a value of 1.0 in the final epoch. It controls when and how much complexity you want to introduce in the training. Figure 6-12 shows multiple examples of pacing functions

of typing in both senses of the word. Throughout its design, we have tried to reduce clutter and complexity. There are no forward declarations and no header files; everything is declared exactly once. Initialization convenient but they come at a cost in complexity in the type system and run-time. We haven't yet found a design that gives value proportionate to the complexity, although we continue to think about handle the reference form of arrays, resolved these issues. Reference types add some regrettable complexity to the language but they have a large effect on usability: Go became a more productive, comfortable
