Ubisoft claims accounts with games on it will never be up for deletion. I could see this being a bug, but could also just simply be that... the person is confused and that specific account didn't actually have a game on it? Could it be

The only slightly interesting part (which is why it's hosted on css-tricks) is not even explicitly mentioned in the article at all. It's the fact that it also uses no JS, and is all CSS based. Obviously that itself isn't craz

Especially on mobile. Worth noting that the bad score is only on Mobile, I consistently get 45-50, but on the Desktop section I get 99.

Yes, this is not new. People have abused Drive to host illegal content and spam for years. They have been silently banned and removed. The fact that you rarely hear about it shows that they actually have a fairly low false-positive rate. Th

Yeah, all cloud provides do, this isn't new. The only reason Apple's version was controversial is that they did it on your own device instead of their own server, but scanning files on cloud services is common practice.

They truly do. And it doesn't even have to be many spammers, it only really takes one person to ruin a free service. I've had plenty of personal projects I had to shut down due to some random person who just decided to hammer my s

The word "Algo" here is definitely awkward. The point is though that what matters most here is the number of parameters, as those correlate quite closely with training and inference time. Storage space is pretty trivial, but TPU c

Is there a place where we can see the raw count of samples that were sequenced in the last week and what % of them were Omicron vs Delta?

by ehsankia 5y ago
It's definitely a mix, depending on the area and the resolution. For urban places where they have 3D views and higher resolution, it's definitely planes. For a random place like this at low resolution, it's satellites.

Idk about the main network, but they do have a separate "Google-2g" network you can connect to that has degraded performance for testing purposes. Maybe they force people to use it when testing apps?

Wouldn't that just be two more parameters in the training network?

I must've read the phrase "thinly veiled threat" at least a dozen time in this thread, yet honestly don't understand where the threat was. Maybe the last sentence where they put a deadline on it, but that part was strang

Even more than crappy laptop, please please test your application on bad/degraded networks. So many apps completely glitch and breakdown in bad network environments.

Err, sorry, I mean't 0.5s, which is option A in Veratisium's video, and the time it actually takes for the current to go through the wire.

I was surprised by that too, though it seems like he is actually working on such a video now. Honestly I have a feeling that this kind of science debate style content is becoming more popular. There was the Veritasium vs physic teacher abou

by ehsankia 5y ago
I think the confusion is that Veratisium's original video made it seem like this was the only/main way electricity travels, whereas in reality, there's two separate ways: One of them take's 1/c and the other takes c

Love the idea of Schema, but not a fan of that syntax, doesn't seem Pythonic to me, seems more like something you'd see out of Javascript word. Like looking at that very first example, I have no clue what "len" means in

They could also "fully" delete it by putting it in a separate opt-in package.

Right, I was also confused by the blame on backward compatibility. You can keep things backward compatible without necessarily making it on by default. There is no reason why `formatMsgNoLookups` should the default. If it is indeed an obscu

Generally, most logging frameworks have two parts, the format string, and the parameters. A good logging library will also avoid calling str()/toString() if the log isn't emitted (for example, if it's a debug log but minimum

A whole mall+parking lot is probably as grand if not grander than I was imagining an average facility to be.

by ehsankia 5y ago
Indeed, but HN/reddit is happy to throw away any logic/skepticism and give in to their confirmation bias as soon as it comes to a topic like this. All it takes a single anecdotal evidence in the form of a video.

by ehsankia 5y ago
Yep, this person is creating a correlation where there is none, and everyone is just riding the confirmation bias. It's strange how HN collectively throw their skeptical side out of the window and accept a single anecdotal evidence as

I don't think anyone is under the illusion that "fuzzing is doing all the things" or that it is a replacement for actual unit, integration and E2E tests. It still is true that fuzzing has managed to find a whole slew of bugs

Wouldn't be because it sounds too much like "new"? the "new variant" can be misleading.

For the other ban, the fact that he called it a "muslim ban" and the specific countries that were picked is what made it racist and ineffective. It's hard to claim it's for security when they didn't include UAE, KSA
