Where did the emotional support animal term come from? That's what a pet is, an animal you keep for emotional support.

Movies don't only make money from the the theater. Their revenue at the theater is actually their smallest source. Back in the day it was theater < DVD sales < tv licensing. You don't get to keep making movies if they lose

I don't even understand why anyone bothers with targeting dynamic libraries. Why not statically compile everything? The system calls aren't changing are they?

Amd and Nvidia drivers for what? Big games aren't being made with openGL. What is the state of vulcan across drivers and engines?

I think the idea that finding ways of working with threads (and ownership) with more safety while minimizing performance impact is a healthy side effect of rust. I think though that rust is one approach of many and that they aren't ort

What does 'home AI' even mean? Most people just want a video camera with a webserver on their doorbell.

You realize that there are $5 thumb drives that work, just like there are filesystems that actually work right? There isn't any benefit to using something broken, these problems have been solved.

One anecdote of a filesystem working fine and one anecdote of it becoming a disaster don't cancel each other out. I wouldn't buy a $5 USB thumb drive if half the people said it lost their data and half said it worked fine.

Indices should start at 1, but in programming we mostly use offsets and call them indices which is one source of confusion that leads to this endless debate.

Pricey? You could get them for $100 15 years ago.

Resharper has the same problems. They really need to clean up their memory allocation and concurrency so that interactivity doesn't tank.

That's like saying your TV would cause cancer if it emitted X-rays. I don't know what point a made up scenario contributes. This was a reply to someone saying that 'we don't have the data to know if sub light frequencies

What does that have to do with lifetime annotations?

With enough power infrared lasers will cut through steel but no one is afraid their TV remote is going to cut off their fingers. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make by talking about the effects of something with a million ti

If you mean terahertz, 5G is supposed to top out around 85ghz. Also terahertz range is the start of infrared light. If you think that is dangerous, you might not want to sit too close to a campfire.

Do you think that light bulbs cause cancer? They emit higher frequency radiation than 5G.

I could say the same thing about people who talk about radiation without mentioning what part of the frequency spectrum they are referring to.

Does the PI 4 also have this problem?

I don't understand it either. I built a keyboard with fewer keys and it makes programming very difficult, even if having the keyboard split apart is much more ergonomic.

Can you link some papers that take about this? Segmenting on statistics isn't typical in the many papers I've read.
563.
by BubRoss 7y ago
It doesn't just work though, because it is a detriment to the user's workflow and is just easier to make.

Look up bilateral filters and the various papers related to minimizing sharp segmentation.

by BubRoss 7y ago
This is a neat article with some good experimentation, but... This is essentially someone seeing the precursor to the bilateral filter for the first time without ever having heard of a bilateral filter before. A bilateral filter weights sur

Not only is that not true, that's not the point of this article at all. It is only talking about speculation for when a L4 cache will be added to modern architectures. > It takes a very small time window, and very limited historical
