I genuinely believe humans are kind and empathetic by nature. I believe that humans have invented systems that penalize kind and empathetic behavior and adhere to those systems because they are familiar. Look at what happens after a disaste

If only we didn't need to resort to selfish reasons for accessibility. Even looking past the idea that most, if not all, of us will benefit from a more accessible world, it makes me so sad when I hear people say "it's just no

It's both. Child neurological development goes through a lot of mirroring the environments they observe in play, and mapping them onto stuffed animals, dolls, bugs, pets, toys, etc. There's an age where kids are developing interio

It's not the worst name for the concept when you include "a male" and "a female" as prominent nouns in that noun class. If you adjust your language depending on whether you are addressing a man or a woman (or speaki

Some scientists believe that autistic people have different levels of empathy than allistic people. Sometimes this manifests as higher levels of empathy for objects and animals, or higher emotional empathy. I'm dx'd autistic, and

We're so fucked, as a species. People are already way too easy to get to believe conspiracy theories. Shit like Pizzagate or whatever is only going to get more common when bad people start making, "and look, here's the video

0.57 x 0.57 miles is a good estimate. The lot is more or less square. Yes. Maintaining 15mph is tough because of elevation changes. The land has a 1,200 foot tall ridge in it, so the drone must gain (and lose) 1,200 feet across that 0.57mi

The area was partially clearcut about a decade back. Some areas are due for brush management and some for commercial thinning. Additionally, because it is alpine and contains a stream used by fish for spawning, it is interesting to see the

I wonder if it can play through MyHouse.wad. Which, if you haven't seen before, is an incredible art piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wAo54DHDY0 If you've read House of Leaves, do yourself a favor and che

You are technically correct, and I believe the GPL doesn't cover the assets for the game (levels, art, audio, etc.), but I suspect there aren't many GPL licensed games out there for sale that have sold enough copies to make deve

I am limited in height I can fly by the FAA (400 feet AGL).

by energywut 1y ago
The thing this doesn't do well, as far as I'm aware, is provide SFM data that can generate heightmaps or point clouds. Maybe I'm wrong!

This is the challenge. I spent <$2k on my setup.

It's heavily pine forested mountain areas. With a 65-75% overlap, the SFM algorithms struggle to produce sufficient details. Additionally, because of the verticality of the terrain and very tall pine trees there's a need to have m

The FAA does not permit this, by default. You are allowed to remote pilot in command one drone at a time. I could apply for an FAA waiver (I have one to fly beyond VLOS). I've genuinely considered doing so, but I don't know how I

I have ~200 acres of land I fly a drone survey mission to map. Today, that piloting is done by dronelink and a DJI drone. The challenge is that it's about 3 hours of flight time, give or take, to cover the space, and a given battery is

So a human failure looks like "alarm fatigue"? That when asked the same question many times, they might miss one or two? Is that at all what is being exhibited here? Because it seems like the AI is being asked once and failing. I

Transfusions can be whole blood, plasma, platelets, RBCs, etc. in addition to saline or electrolyte solutions.

Ok, but the computers were asked to specifically count the legs and return a number. So you've made the case that humans would specifically find this question odd, and likely increase their scrutiny. Making an error by a human even m

Yes. AI is advancing, but is still regularly making mistakes. Even in the domains where it excels, it still needs oversight from a skilled practitioner. Would you trust AI to run `rm` commands on your machine without your intervention? If n

More than a decade. I bought my Tesla in 2014, and I recall the announcement because it came after I had bought but before I took possession of my car, and thus I was ineligible for the upgrade. In hindsight, thank fuck. I would have droppe

Are they? Did you see the picture of the chicken with three legs? Because there's no human I know who would confidently assert that chicken has two legs.

Interesting to see. There's been some other efforts in this space, from blood products derived to chemically derived (e.g. perflurocarbons, which carry many multiples of what hemoglobin can carry, oxygen-wise). There's definitely

We differentiate based on scale all the time. If I steal a pack of gum I expect a very different legal outcome than if I steal the entire contents of a best buy. In violent crime scale matters -- manslaughter is very different from mass mur

Scale matters . Reducing an example down to a single artist reproducing a single style of a single other artist isn't theft, it's a fundamentally different thing. Kawano is not making a tool that can predict and reproduce all art

I've never encountered a radical centrist in the wild before. Now I can say I have. Fascinating. But the politics of the Dems are absolutely pro-capital, pro-moderate, pro-"nothing fundamentally changes". Biden, Obama, Harris

Politics is not limited to specific parties or governments. Politics is also concerned with the principles of an organization within their sphere, particularly if those principles are about who has access to power. The FSF is very concerned
