Philosophically you are right. Mathematically you are wrong. It is indeed true that if there was an entity that could reason beyond infinity 1-0.999... would be greater than 0.

For audio the jack is a perfect interface. Extreme bandwidth, very easy to connect. That's why it is far from obsolete. For listening to music this is great. A lot of very good headphones to choose from and very good audio quality. But

Well I thought they used ML to calibrate it (the correction matrix) but I am not sure about this.

by thdrdt 6y ago
Ah yes! It looks like this is related to what I was looking for. It was a long time ago that I saw a demo about this and I was under the impression that ML was used to calculate the correction matrix.

Well the demo I saw showed it was just a matter of taking a picture of a printed template and the software would figure out the distortion. It shouldn't take too much effort to implement the correction data in the camera software.

I've got a smartphone with a not so good camera. Some time ago I heard about an app that could take a picture of a template and then would calculate the distortions of your camera and fix those (with ML). Does anyone know what app&#x2F

I think it's good every country takes it's own measures because it is very hard to compare countries. For example Sweden has ~22 people per km² while the state of NY has ~160/km².

I believe they use devices that act like some kind of radar. They send a signal across the wire and measure how long it takes to bounce back. They can get a really good estimation of the distance between the ping and the cut. But maybe othe

Well there are multiple kinds of bugs. You did not test it? Apologize. You were sloppy? Apologize. In most other cases I can agree with the author. All I can add is that, as a freelancer, I always explain (like they are 5) what went wrong.

All great but I believe this should be illegal unless there is some notice that it is fake. We all love the tech behind it but this is very scary stuff. Not only for the people who are thinking they talk to the real Elon Musk, but also for

Most reviews are very positive. Faster, better, Amazon removed, maybe the best Ubuntu release until now. The only 'con' is the pushing of Snap packages. It looks like deb files only can be installed via the terminal. Ubuntu is als

For those who like this: it also reminds me of a small company that makes Hooks amps. The Wizard also include those simulators but the nice thing is it uses analog knobs. But you can program presets and the knobs will move back to the prese

It heavily depends on the country. There are only a hand full of countries where iOS and Android almost have the same market share (US, UK, SE for example). In most countries this is not the case. Android share is still very dominant world

Recently I had to think about Alexander when I saw the empty streets of New York. Without people you will notice much more how the buildings overwhelm and cast shadow everywhere. This is exactly what Alexander was fighting against: building

In most countries whatever job related work you do is owned by your job (even when you do it at home in your own time). So never make the mistake to mix private with work. I don't think Atlassian is to blame here. Maybe they could have

The same here. I maybe had the virus. Symptoms that felt different, but nothing to worry about, a little headache and a little cough. So I never got tested. My wife and kids also had this but also nothing to worry about. And at the same tim

The Dutch police is now free to use them as spit masks. Unfortunately there are people who like to spit and cough in the faces of the police (and then being charged with weeks in jail). But I doubt it will work well against coughing because

There are multiple documentaries about "What if people suddenly leave earth?". All those movies show how fast nature will take over. Within 10-14 days animals will be walking everywhere. So I am not surprised we see animals moving

Well at least in the Netherlands your claim is false. They don't want you at the hospital unless it is absolutely necessary. Got a fever and still able te breath: stay at home.
