Seems the kind of thing StreetView data would have been perfect to train on. I wonder if you could loop back the last frame of each video to extend the generated world further. Creating a kind of AI fever dream

Since it's not a 1.0, it seems at face value it's be difficult for a "big player" to use it in production. As far as I understand, breaking changes are expected.

"makes it expensive now to direct things via your own server" can you expand on this? why expensive..? i figured Visa and company would mandate some JS monstrosity. However ive had some really ancient weird credit card online form

what's the difference with PPAs? the main reason i always fall back to Ubuntu is bc everyone has a PPA for it. Sometimes the PPA also works for Debian, but its 50/50 (from what i understand its not an official thing under Debian?)

Not a webdev, so I'm curious: Have we reached the point where you can you make credit card payments without JS? (if not, what are the blockers?)

As far as I understand with WeChat you can't disputes purchases and do things like chargebacks. If your phone is somehow stolen and account drained (they'd need to know your pin..) then you're probably be screwed? So there is

I've been writing it for >5 years and I still reach for vectors haha. I think it's my C++ background which makes me a bit allergic to lists. The reality is that if I moved more transducer based solutions this would be a non-fac

Oh good point on the hashmapiness of vectors, I forgot about that. That would really change the calculus here.... buuuut > There is only one coercion from a vector to a list in the code (the first time `rest` is called on the input vecto

I thought another option would be to use a `partition-all` transducer (and conj'ing a result list that way), but it seems those don't support step sizes. Maybe that internally could be as efficient as running along iterators in an

Thank you for the detailed response! Really thought provoking. It wouldn't occur to me to write code like this. It seems like it'd be harder to parse than an imperative index-based solution, but I'm not sure. Do you find it e

by geokon 1y ago
Yeah, I guess partition to me always looks like a dangerous tool - for instance I have a sequence of numbers and I want to do a 5 point rolling average You could do `(partition 5 1 coll)` and then average each element in the resulting seq..

I find 95% Clojure has the right tools to write very terse code. But in some cases the functional transducer/piped paradigm can't be contorted to the problem. Usually these are problems where you need to run along a list and check
