Are these numbers “illegal” to share like the BluRay key?

I partially agree, if you’ve moved your hands away it can be difficult to “relocalize”. It’s not that big a deal though, I find. My main problem now is that I want Apple level low travel (and low profile) but also split. Guess I’ll wind up

They say there are two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming, and off-by-one errors.

“AI research” is largely concerned with automation, not sentience or AGI. This is clearly abuse of terminology, even “machine learning” is somewhat misleading in my opinion. It’s mostly just pattern recognition of increasing elaboration, an

Don’t follow this advice, it will make it harder to get accept.

Your entire argument falls over flat if you look at excess mortality. Aggregate statistics are hard to misunderstand. Sweden did worse at first, but is in general unremarkable.

People write exploding time complexity code in bad places all the time. I absolutely disagree with this sentiment that it won’t matter.

After numba’ing several nontrivial pieces of numpy code in my life, you might as well just rewrite it in nopython mode for Cython unless it’s very trivial stuff. Numba errors and partial coverage of numpy is a huge time sink in my experienc

As an almost exclusive Python programmer, I’ve often looked at Ruby’s block syntax with jealous eyes. It would be so nice. But I wonder if that’s maybe the exact thing that I also like about Python: the language is pretty damn simple in its

Pulling 100W on a laptop is pretty impressive though, that’s insane. Can you attach two chargers?

To be fair, comments _must_ be moderated or they turn into a cesspool in short order. A like-dislike count does not have that problem, though. And YouTube isn't removing the comments (yet).

In northern Europe, it’s business as usual. Maybe our volumes are so small that the market need for new cars is still met?

Yeah, 10k€ is certainly not change.

I’m not trying to be rude here but going from PC gaming to consoles because you dislike DRM is like buying a sports car because you think trucks pollute too much.

Tangential but what do you mean with better CI? GitHub doesn’t do any CI at all as far as I know, and Travis turned commercial only. Did I miss something?

It’s a hard sell to say you feel like your heritage was cause for grief when you come from a superpower, and the richest country in the world. You may individually be not well off, but we’re talking about group properties.

Punching up versus kicking down. They're different things.

There was a time when nuclear disarmament was actually happening. That is passed now, of course.

You can have a central subsidy system that is not synchronous.

I think this is an extremely reductionist view of the UN. The UN was not formed in a vacuum, it was formed in the wake of two consecutive world wars in order to solve international disputes amicably. The UN declaration holds power precisely

Disagree with you, there are no clear patterns other than "slightly more interesting than the alternative". Most of it can likely be chalked up to being noise in the sampling process.

Well, “worth it” is a stretch - I think they almost put the snail to extinction from needing so much of it.

It would be nice if there was a way to run a terminal command without auto-scrolling. So often I run something that spits out tons of error messages, only to have to scroll back up again to find out what happened.

There’s something to learn here about calling on a bigger bully to stamp out the local bully…

Please and for the love of all that is good, use a proper database to store sensitive and critical data.

So DRM and the constant rent seeking bullshit content owners put us up to is okay because the Soviet union was an oppressive regime? Did you really think this was a good argument against stopping the copyright abuse happening today?

I was wondering if somebody had posted a Scaramuzza paper, guess so… lol

The event camera has no frame rate, essentially. Each photon sensor fires asynchronously. You should look into some of the applications of event cameras, they’re near magical for some things like high velocity movements and such. They have
