And for those who want to create in a similar environment, but in an open source way, the OSS clone Minetest is pretty mature and is designed to be easy to mod.

The YOLOv3 paper is a blast to read https://pjreddie.com/media/files/papers/YOLOv3.pdf And its conclusion is gold: But maybe a better question is: “What are we going to do with these detectors now that we ha

The difference in purchasing power comes from the difference in labor cost mainly. I think that in a construction project, labor costs are going to outweigh material costs by a lot. In such a case, it makes little sense to prefer cheap mate

I know very well why I am still using FB: there is a single group that I am working with that uses it as its main channel of communication. And I don't want to invest the effort to make them switch right now. What I did was an alternat

Isn't that mostly a database problem? I have loved knowledge graphs for a while until I realized they were just a way to obfuscate complex problems, not solving them. Here, what part of your problem wouldn't be solved by a DB with

To be fair, this program is a stupid response to a stupid problem. Even if that muddied the waters for a year or two, that would just be a patch, not a fix. The fix is political. Call for copyright reforms.

Yep. Once we asked if club activity were mandatory at the local school. We specifically asked about the mandatory aspect. The answer was "everybody does it".

I have the opposite opinion. As long as you know it is the good decision, do it. Even preventing one class contamination could be crucial for preventing the epidemic to spread. He announced it late in the afternoon but I even consider irres

Ok, time for a rant. If you looked at that table and went like "Oh, just 0.2% for me, great! No need to worry!" you are a terrible person. Even just at 0.2%, a billion people infected would result in more casualties than most rece

Hmmm, gcc may be smart enough indeed.

considering the code is translated into a kind of simple, non-native opcode, I think it is also correct to call it a VM.

Am I the only one annoyed by the fact that the main loop has a series of if..else instead of a giant switch statement? But yes, many people rely on parsers and VMs without really knowing how it works and assume some black magic, whereas it

> I feel like this is speculation. Do you have any citations? Is this speculation to say that Starcraft is protected by copyright as an original work? Is it speculation to say that it borrows heavily from existing universes?

I meant that if you tell it to predict the end of the sentence "And before them stood Lord Cthulhu. They saw..." while it has ingested Lovecraft works, it is very likely to use the word "tentacles" in the following descr

Yes, you can ban Tor altogether and be done with the whole thing. It is doable and there is no technical workaround for it. The scenario I am proposing is actually worse: you use the feeling of anonymity Tor proposes to uncover opponents. Y

Onion services are incapable of resisting a determined government-scale attacker. Just filter Tor traffic to random groups of users for like 10 seconds, find one such groups that prevents the target onion service from being routed. Bissect

Corruption is not how free markets sneak in, that's how they die. Free markets don't exist in a vacuum. They rely on governments to maintain a state of fair competition. Corruption does not lead to free markets, it leads to monopo

Like I said, erudites in the 19th century all across Europe would be fluent in ancient Greek. As to read vs understand, that's the difference between alphabet and ideograms. But IIRC modern Greek speakers have an easy time making sense

Well through self-identification, we Europeans consider ourselves heirs of the ancient Greek culture. If this is really an old-dick contest, we can date it back to Mycenaean Greeks. 1. The Greek alphabet, a bit younger than Chinese characte

Apparently in physics, there is less talk about states than about phases [1]. There are four fundamental states basically all matter can be in: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, but then you can get philosophical about what constitutes a state. I
