There are different outlooks on risk, but the attitude can certainly be described as cavalier towards life, and may signal something stronger.

Weather forecasts are notoriously iffy, and accuracy drops with time, but we understand the physics behind it (to a large extent). There's also a lot of fine-grained data available. For some arbitrary time series, there's only one

Axios has a long history, and is included in a lot of code, also in indirect dependencies. Just check its npm page: it has 174025 dependents as of this moment, including a lot of new packages (I see openclaw and mcp related packages in the

To me, the music is a bland mixture of game and elevator music. It totally sounds like sequenced music without using any expression. Minimal, in this case, is just a qualification of the amount of control over the outcome, not an art philos

This tool, however, is specifically built for mass surveillance. It serves no other purpose. The tool is broken, and everybody knows it. The tool makers are at least as guilty as those who use it.

I think it would be too easy to create an uncontrollable cascade of function calls, causing terrible performance. IMO, it's best to keep concerns separated. Perhaps the current JS/DOM interface is a bit cumbersome, but it gets a l

The fall of Rome is 5th century, so it predates Islam, doesn't it?

macOS does precisely that out of the box, doesn't it? You have to change some settings to run other software. I've got it set to: allow notarized, warn for internet downloads (even if notarized), everything else after explicit per

I turned it on, out of curiosity, and the impact is minimal, for me.

There's e.g. this one: http://www.mrgory.info/sm/ (path may look odd, but it probably means sound machine/museum/memory or something).

I'm not sure that's the correct approach. Why do you want to have free access to other people's books, movies, and songs in the first place? I have the feeling that's not the case, but what is it then?

Even if the data is truly representative and unbiased, we should also not believe conclusions that draw so heavily on interpreting correlation. One could just as well conclude that male intelligence and beauty go hand in hand. Or that men h

Think resources. For most countries, the position of that particular ship isn't interesting during 99.99% of the time. If you can locate it easily du moment your interest is piqued, you can dedicate the resources needed to track it con

Brightness is another dimension, not a "sector" (as I dubbed it) on the color spectrum. But it would be equal for all subjects in a test, so it can't add information.

by tgv 7mo ago
Is that so? Our color perception is weird. It's one dimension split in three overlapping sectors. Adding a fourth sector may add information that makes it easier to distinguish colors.

I'm color blind, and not even a little bit, but I scored 0.0084. I've noticed before that my perception of contrast is slightly better (than that of the people I ever compared it with; admitteldly, that's only a handful, but

Isn't it like claiming that breaking and entering is pointless, as you can always trace the perp through finger prints, unless they happen to wear gloves? Except in this case, most of the criminals operate from outside your jurisdictio

Hardware restrictions might have contributed to that. Anyway, analogs and metaphors do not prove what they sneakily try to imply. They might help thinking about a problem, but they leave out the actual argument, and in this case, the jump i

That's the BS reply that always comes when (in particular) bitcoin is associated with crime: that it is traceable. Well, it hardly is. And for the average policeman/woman, even less so. And when the owner has taken some care, as y

Not to put too fine a point on it, but X11 runs over ssh just fine. No "graphics login" required.

> cops [...] should not have access to these tools But what else can (identification via) face recognition be (safely) used for? Absolutely nothing. It's tech that's just made for surveillance.

I don't think asteroids (like the target) have influence on others. There's so much space between them, and their mass is almost neglible.

I don't think this is useful in complex situations/expressions. Structure has to be encoded in the same place as meaning somehow. Natural language does it by using an extraordinarily large set of signifiers. That's not feasib

I'm not arguing the USA is a good guy. Just that that doesn't make China any better.

Who cares about a few Uygurs, right? Or the Chinese Seas. Or Tibet and Taiwan. You can say what you want, but China is not a silver lining.

This made me smile. What an astonishing combination. The oddball application of a font as a disassembler works like a wonderful practical joke to me. Merging parsing, processing and rendering into a single step feels mad genius.
