I'm a safety inspector. Of course this is much more nuanced than this. One crucial aspect of a tool safety is proper documentation. It's also important who the tool is targeted for. There are different safety standards based on us

No. Stanley Tools owns the hospital and would profit from the operation, but when you said you don't have the money they decided to let you go. Perhaps because legally they would have to anyway, or otherwise they would suffer various l

So you're saying there could be a designed behavior that I misinterpret as a lag? Sure, but unlikely (rarely), because I'm quite perceptive in this regard as I programmed a lot of GUI myself. If I press a button and an animation s

You're wrong. You can clearly see a difference between 20ms reaction time (as instantaneous as it gets because of what you say, 1/60 = 16.6666...), whereas 150 ms is a fast reaction but it definitely is a noticeable lag. I wish yo

I think you also didn't read the EULA. The EULA says something along the lines: > the statements incompatible with local law are to be disregarded as void This is to protect The beneficent of EULA terms (Microsoft) from the possibil

Can you present some real life scenario where this is an issue? Let's say you want to display the result on a webpage - the bottleneck of creating a DOM structure with all <div>s and similar tags would be much more significant, b

You didn't present some context on how you reached this content on the website. It looks as if it was an exercise to produce a shader detecting edges based on derivative functions or just sampling neighboring texture pixels.

I remember getting the same piece of advice from the teacher. Problem is, even before getting it, I was already applying it, being a rare kid experienced in computer graphics. The teacher was just repeating a phrase she heard somewhere, wit

It depends on the definitions of these words. Basically, AI pretends to be a human, it pretends to think, it pretends to plan and reason. In a few last years we've pushed this pretending quite far.

Python is Turing-complete, so everything is possible, but the tool has a long way to go.

I could probably write a book to answer this question :D Blender has gone "everything nodes" route, and in particular it created the Geometry Nodes system. I'm very good in geonodes and pretty much specialize in it, and yet I

I can agree with this. If someone has some kind of disability, like aphantasia (I don't know if it really applies here, as you can look at a reference image) then perhaps the tool is useful. The thing is, none of the examples presented

The only sculpting example I see is the very first hat. Do you want to tell me you wouldn't be able to sculpt that? I perfectly understand the time/patience/energy argument and my bias here. But even Spore (video game) editor

Wrong tutorials. A lot of these models consist of just taking a primitive like a sphere, scaling it, and then creating another primitive, scaling it, moving it, so you have overlapping hulls ("bad" topology). Then in shading you j

How about this: it takes energy to build a photo-synthesis machine. A machine like this won't consume all photons but only some range of electromagnetic spectrum. This is because you need to have such structure to allow light to pass t

Still, I think you wouldn't find such a design in actual Lego set, because such floating bricks make the construction weak.

I had this conversation before. I point out how your interpretation is insane and doesn't follow logical reasoning, and you accuse me of gaslighting. I don't want to waste anyone else's time. We could just paste to an AI our

I think it can reason. At least if it can work in a loop ("thinking"). It's just that this reasoning is far inferior to human reasoning, despite what some people hastily claim.
