   I believe (as of a few years ago) that Kiwi bots are semi-autonomous, meaning they do have someone watching the camera feed but the bots themselves can move in a given direction and will stop if an object is detected.

   Years ago I used to use SikuliX to automate grinding in MMOs! My first introduction to Python/scripting in general.

   I assume Square makes vastly more on fees than on hardware, so the opportunity to make fees off more merchants who have a smaller barrier to entry is probably beneficial, even if they don't buy hardware.

   Not exact, because Wordle has color-blind mode :)

   I'm curious how adding network requests and server dependencies to code makes it faster and more robust than code that works entirely offline.

   I think you're basically describing a concentrated solar plant, for example that giant array of mirrors on the way to Vegas (Ivanpah).

   I think it would be impossible to train the model in the first place without that loss term.

   When your browser caches an image it doesn't cache the pixel buffer itself, it just cached the original file (the PNG in this case). Because the PNG is non-deterministic it can render differently every time you open it even if you save

    This doesn't have to do with Safari caching, it's just about rendering the PNG and happens regardless of where the PNG originated.

    Are you trying to say they didn't have video in 1963?

    That's not exactly true, it can be slower than the slowest individual pixel. It's not just running the same code for each pixel in parallel across many cores, a single core* actually runs pixels at once and therefore has to have t

    That flowchart seems to assume that you don’t know what application has the window you want, which is a pretty weird use case. And ignores that you can see all windows for a given application in the menu bar.

    I believe if the phone is in range the watch will use the phone's GPS. I record all my rides on my watch but my phone is always on my handlebars or in a backpack and I'm pretty sure it uses it.

    I would hate giving any random piece of software full access to my computer instead of using a sandboxed version in a browser. The perf tradeoff is worth it for stuff like games and photo/video editors, but every random webapp? No way.

    This really only works for relatively small sites that don't change much and aren't developed by multiple people. After that you'll at least want some static site generation (which by itself doesn't slow down the experie

    There's a similar article by a more trustworthy source, so I'd definitely believe it: http://www.betterinstitutions.com/blog/2021/6/13/dont-expand... You can also just read the proposal yoursel

    I don't see how those are mutually exclusive. You could do something like: x, err := f(); if err != nil return fmt.Errorf("More context -> %s", err) (I'm not attached to that specific syntax, it's just an

    I'm a bit astounded that the author has a PhD and is seriously proposing that time travel is the source of the correlation in an Arduino-based "time machine" and hasn't really explored any other options like the pseudora

    Honestly curious, how can riding 500 miles in a day be pleasurable? The only time I've done that is in a road trip in a car and it wasn't nice even with friends, climate control, no wind in my face, cruise control, and music/

    I use Gmail but never use the web interface (or log in with it at all for the most part). I just use the built in mail clients for iOS/macOS but any app will do. They can still see your mail but can't do much with it as I use DDG

    Lotteries also made millionaires and billionaires during the pandemic era, I don’t think I’ve seen any TA that legitimately provides returns at a better than random rate.

    I think the better way to create a state machine would use another switch instead of the top-level goto like: int keypad() { int state = 0; // 0 = start, 1 = seen '1', 2 = seen '12', 3 = seen '12
