I assume they are going for "batteries included" connections?
- Narew 6y agoFlashlight vs torch (pytorch). ^^
- angry_octet 6y agoYes, I could see the construction, I just can't think why they wouldn't anticipate the problems it could cause down the track.
- whimsicalism 6y agoWhat? Nobody in their right mind thinks "fleshlight" immediately upon hearing the word "flashlight" Is this some sort of performance art comment?
- throwaway5849 6y agoReviving my old throwaway account to confirm that I indeed thought of "fleshlight" immediately after reading the announcement. Keep in mind that the average coder is far more likely to read Reddit daily (where this reference comes up surprisingly often) than to do things that require a flashlight (own a house somewhere remote, etc)
- jcelerier 6y agoas a non-native english speaker I'll humbly admit that fleshlight was indeed the first word that popped into my mind when reading the title, because I never say flashlight but lampe-torche (while a "fleshlight" is an occasional fun present / recurrent meme for friends birthday or stuff like that)
- kyawzazaw 6y agoI don't see such a significant problem.
- josefx 6y agoAs a non native english speaker I knew the word flashlight years before I knew that you could use torch to mean the same thing (and not just a burning stick). Websters even seems to claim that this is mostly a British thing.
- whimsicalism 6y agoNobody calls flashlights torches in the US.
- cozzyd 6y agoWait until people accidentally an ML model?
- jcelerier 6y agothe whole model !
- snovv_crash 6y agoYou spend too much time on the internet.
- throwaway5849 6y agoIn fairness, so does the average programmer.
