When seeing this, are we meant to assume that not one company in the self-driving space, in the 5-6 years of research and development since this study, has moved to training their AI on anything other than stock, pristine, textbook roadsign

So, if the publisher changes a single word in a new copyright, and the old one expires, can the publisher sue someone who shared the old version? It'd only be one word off, so they could argue it's effectively infringement...

The SID chip has an audio in that lets you use the filter, so it should be possible.

Given the likely output quality you'd probably choose something like 32Kbps encoding for the mp3, which should fit 3 mins in 720KB. (Not sure how it'd affect CPU requirements?) It's not that bad-sounding: http://ww

Some info here, claims a 68020 at 50Mhz (@10 MIPS) can just pull it off: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=78994 Might mean an A500 (@1.4 MIPS) could do it if you were happy waiting 10-15 minutes for the audio of a 3 m

Thanks for explaining. That makes sense. For any files that need to be modified, my suggestion would not work at all. But I'm sure there's cases developers could symlink unmodifiable files. I know I've seen anything and every

In my experience there are both a users config files and an applications support files strewn all over the place with abandon. Maybe I wasn't clear, I'm suggesting distinguishing out-of-bundle application files by making them syml

by detrites 4y ago
Why are an applications files physically moved elsewhere in the first place? Simply leave everything in the app bundle, and put symlinks for anything the OS is expecting elsewhere. Cleaning up app deletion would then be pruning dead symlink

Not sure if it still works, but on macOS previously you could Command-I (Info) on two files, click the icon in one info window (highlighting it), and copy-paste on the other. Quick fix for ugly app icons.

By "tested", do you mean someone out there has the somewhat insane job of throwing actual birds into fully-powered jet engines? And I guess cleaning up afterward also?

Most interesting, thank you. These may have an ARM Cortex A7 dual-core at 1.3Ghz according to this datasheet for the HiSilicon hi3520dv400 (the 4 channel version): http://wangxunic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/

My point was the widely-available posts on social media, and specifically their focus, does not match up with what is shown in the Main-Stream Media (MSM), meaning major stations such as MSNBC, CNN etc. These outlets are reporting on it, bu

Agree. By definition, we don't know what they are , and if they're just sitting there as apparently they have been so far, it's easy to route around them while investigating.

Which is what we do. The rest of what we believe makes us special is simply emergent, and arbitrarily defined in terms of just being further useful pattern recognition, rather than any fundamental property of "intelligence".
