ML does garbage collection, if it didn't need it it wouldn't do it.

Conspiracy and conspiracy theory are not quite the same. Some things are just false claims. A conspiracy theory usually refers to something that has a semblance of consensus. The Iraq war had a decent amount of opposition before it happened

I don't believe it's been conclusively proven either way.

1999 is closer to the invention of the internet than present day TCP/IP was standardized in 1982 and commercial ISPs didn't exist until 1989

Twitter owners did not engage in promotion of conspiracy theories back then

I went online in 1999 and it was almost always online DSL, so the idiots were just as bad back then. Those that didn't have DSL had AOL which is one click to get online

Back then you could post to Craigslist for an anonymous hookup and play poker online for money. Now the Match Group owns all the dating websites and successfully shittified them. Social media in general has been basically a big loss, with R

That's a huge stretch, it's some IMAGINARY losses of SOCIETY since it's impossible to know which software I would buy. In fact, I would use open source software instead, since I'm not in the mood for paying. I use Krita

I've ran an online business If we released our source code it would do absolutely nothing, since you don't have our business partners or customer base. All you could do is publish pages that look like ours

What if I would never pay for it in the first place? Then I'm not depriving you of anything

Apparently it makes the game feel "faster" in racing games because it adds to the movement illusion. I don't know why you would use it in other games, though

Maybe some difficult 1080p videos, but my phone can handle 30 FPS ones from what I've tested. It depends of course if you require NO dropped frames, or simply not noticeable performance degradation. I can't tell when it drops on

I didn't say they did it wrong, I asked a question. It wasn't a rhetorical question. Anyway, this point might be moot because dav1d has released several versions with further NEON optimizations after the paper https://c

Encoding on a PC is an edge case, especially on software. Just hardware encode H264 at that point > I have been accustomed to any video playback taking just a few percents on any old computer with Intel graphics. it's using like 160

That's a high end device that can chew through 4K AV1 video like no tomorrow

Mobile doesn't have 4K screens, any phone released in the last few years can handle 1080p or 1440p AV1 I mean ANY phone. My phone is $160 from 2019 and it can play 1440p AV1 on youtube (with a few frame drops, but nothing noticeable),

Not really, my laptop is intel 5000 series dual core, it can handle 720p AV1 video. I did get a few dropped frames, but I had to go into "Stats for nerds" to see that they dropped. When I switched to vp9, I still had some dropped

They are not blue, but because the word for blue is also ambiguous they are more like a teal color

by iopq 3y ago
Because they use 绿, not 青 so it would not result in blue lights But in Korea they have the same confusion: https://www.dreamstime.com/traffic-lights-road-blue-speed-li...

In China, for example, the word for green 綠 is used for the light 綠 is used in Japanese for the color of green tea, but they use 青 for the green light There's also 翠 in Japanese to mean a bright green, which in Chinese also has a blue

Both come from the Chinese term 青 which in modern Chinese would by itself refer to colors anywhere between sky blue and grassy green 青天 - clear skies 青草 - green grass 清葡萄 - 청포도 - white grape

No, I'm saying I've made a logic mistake in Fizzbuzz in an interview because I forgot to put == 0 in the condition. If you think that makes me a bad programmer, that's your problem, I just don't think whiteboard intervie

I made a mistake in fizzbuzz the first time I did it on a whiteboard because I wrote it in "pseudocode" I wrote if (n % 15) print "fizzbuzz" ... I got away with it because my interviewer assumed it was some kind of shell

by iopq 3y ago
Would you rather get someone who can do fizzbuzz correctly on a board the first time in 7 minutes or someone who can write it in 1 minute on a laptop incorrectly, test it, and fix it in 30 seconds? I see no value in the "gotcha" o

Yes, but then the refactor value is dubious. To write simple code you actually need to understand the difficulty of the problem. Why is certain code easier to talk about than other type of code? Why is it better written this way and not ano
