Fair argument for doing it with highly mutative viruses like coronavirus and influenza, because it gives you a chance to prepare.

I agree that letting the community completely dictate direction is a bad idea, but so too is being so dogmatic and idealist that you ignore the feedback. Rust definitely swayed more to the former than I'd have liked, but you also have

We have a lot of pure black substance (and paint) but again this is solving a problem nobody really has. Perhaps combining a transparent display with a pure black gives better blacks for displays but until there's better color control

Seed oils are a bit of a boogieman, though. Omega 6 is associated with better longevity/cardiovascular health and though linolenic acid has a known inflammatory function in large quantities it's not present enough in a "norma

I've read it three times now. The only thing they say about it is this: "This doesn't mean that eBPF has solved nothing, substituting a vendor's bug for its own. Fixing these bugs in eBPF means fixing these bugs for all

Can you elaborate? What I see about Linux is that Crowdstrike was in the process of adopting eBPF which is ostensibly immune to kernel panics, but that issue shows their eBPF implementation specifically causing a kernel panic.

I don't do any kernel stuff so I'm out of my element, but doesn't the fact that Crowdstrike & Linux kernel eBPF already caused kernel crashes[1] sort of downplay the rosiness of the state of things? [1]: https:/&#x2

Rather than a monopoly, I'd say it takes 2 things (that are often present in monopolies): 1) Big piles of money 2) Enough of a moat that there's no immediate threat from competition #2 drives a lot of the desire to innovate, the

I had no idea revisions were made to this but the title about the West and corn was a bit of a tipoff. Unless Pliny got a little sneak preview of Miller Lite back then.

by nkozyra 2y ago
My understanding is that intent needs to be established for any recording. If you establish consent and the second party records without consent I'm not sure where that stands but the spirit of the law seems to suggest every party must

by nkozyra 2y ago
It's a lesson we all have to learn at some point, that was mine. Recording calls is always tricky because of party consent rules, although telling people you're recording probably puts some guardrails on behavior.

I agree with this in general. I think the Arduino ecosystem makes a lot of sense and as mentioned upthread does a good job lowering the barrier to entry. It's the hardware I don't get, which sits in a weird spot in the matrix of e

For an embedded computer you basically need to go bare metal with Circle or something similar. But then I'd wonder what you're building because there are powerful microcontrollers you can buy for $15/1 that will handle anythi

I look at a 3D printer as an additive counterpart to a CNC machine. I think the lack of a z-axis is what separates drawing machines.

I'm curious about examples. I know many languages do not have word::word translations, but a concept that cannot be translated -- even if it needs a full sentence, is a very different thing.

I'm not suggesting that Apple doesn't "do AI," just that they aren't interested in being a creating direct-to-consumer AI products.
