I don't really this game because there is no real granularity: the amount of citizens is simulated up to a certain amount, and above that amount, the game just increment numbers that don't mean anything. I prefer games like factor

Sure but there are speakers in a helo headset. I was talking about a headset that would be similar to a helo headset, without as much sound isolation.

I suspect all ear plugs will always cause tinnitus. Having sound emitted so close to your ear drum is not a good idea. Not to mention that often, air cannot escape, which increase energy and/or air pressure inside the ear canal. A bett

So this could be used to find similar images in a database? For now I sort of tested a naive method where I convert all images in 64x64 black and white, and use a simple levenshtein. It's not efficient, but for not too large dataset, i

I wrote a large and messy script to encode a random amount of videos of any aspect ratio so it can fit in a mosaic with the xstack filter. I think there are still slight audio sync issues, because I should reencode video files individually

You don't have to rewrite everything from scratch, you can already use C++ or other languages, only the front end of software must be rewritten. And it's also possible to use other ways, like a graphics renderer or wrapper. > W

I've read that some american scientists were working or were distantly involved in research projects at this lab. I still entertain the conspiracy theory that Trump, since he hated China, could have had the capacity to ask the CIA to &

I'm currently trying to make a programming language that translates to C. I've started with a pseudo BNF parser. I started reading the C BNF and I have to admit that I was not prepared at all. It's not as easy as it sounds. I

I don't want to sound annoying, but it's a bit hard to generate raster tiles. I mean openstreetmap data is open and free, but it doesn't seem they distribute any software to build the raster tiles they host. I don't know

I wonder if demonetization practices caused youtube to bleed creators. There was so much drama around youtubers and how youtube treated them. I guess Youtube must always obey its advertisers.

To me, modern AI is just "black boxes all the way down". Even specialists don't really know what's happening. It's not encouraging or interesting. Personally, I'm more interested in analyzing those black boxes

Agree, it's also quite awkward to link a domain to a container, and sometimes it doesn't work well, for example gmail because it also uses Google.com (I want to separate Gmail and my Google search)

I remember trying it once, it's quite bloated. I'd rather use simplified command line things instead. For example I don't even remember how to generate raster tiles if I want to host my own maps, I don't think openstreet
