> Hue is a cyclic value, so it has to be in degrees There's nothing magical about the number 360. You can do cycles in the 0-1 range. You can even make trigonometry with that (no radians). See: http://pico8wiki.com/i

> L is for lightness (0-100%), C is for chroma (0-0.5), H is for hue (0-360deg). My programmer brain immediately jumped away in disgust. I'm sure there's many good reasons for choosing those, but it seems to me it could have e

That is true but you have to be very specific about who your "users" are. If your "users" are the guys in charge of showing more ads to people, then yes. People, on the other hand absolutely prefer watching their contact

I suspect the "System prompt" used by google includes way more stuff than the small example that the user provided. Especially if the training set for their llm is really large. At the very least it should contain stuff to prote

Well the way I see them I don't think they are a unit at all. And the end pixels are "physical things". Like ceramic tiles on a bathroom wall. Your wall might be however many meters in length and you might need however square

You see the same thing in e-sports too. You can be “good” at StarCraft 2 and still be miles away from the top. Even between the top 100 players the difference is stark

I don't know, man. I am the kind of person who can't help but think "this 1.5-tons metal cage just moved 20 meters while I was blinking" while driving my car on a highway. Needless to say, I don't enjoy driving. On

It does count for me. The border crossing is the first experience that you get from a country. It has definitely gone worse. And it was not great to begin with. In the past, I had the ... pleasure ... of being put in the "back room&quo

No, they said it is "ridiculously overpriced for what you get as a tourist". Which now includes a possibility of getting detained while trying to enter.

They don’t respect robots.txt at all and won’t hesitate to call all the endpoints they find, repeatedly, even when they’re costly for the host. That’s basically it.

I had a boss like that. One time he told me "In a bacon and eggs dish, the hen contributes but the pig really gets involved. I want all my team to be pigs". I internally thought "yeah, but you are neither the hen or the pig,
