Well that all depends on how well the features are integrated. Often times a new feature is similar from the API perspective to pre-existing ones. If that's the case either integration is simple, or you need to refactor the underlying

Probably not the best in terms of efficiency. Easier just to deliberately overshoot (with a too high k) and then merge any clusters with too much overlap.

There's no genuine empathy there, just corporate arse covering and bullshit.

The individual capable of survival is what survives - he brings with him the genes that conveyed his advantages.

by yarg 3y ago
The survival of the individual is exactly what is being selected for. The influence of an individual gene is not distinguishable from those that are packaged with it. So what is selected for over any single cycle is sets of sets of genes co

> But as the quality of the germ cells declines, there is no evolutionary reason to keep extending life span further; from evolution’s perspective, life exists to reproduce itself. When the individual's survival is the only selectio

It's not always moving goalposts - sometimes a new technology progresses on some aspects and regresses in others. This technology is a significant step forward in some ways - but people are going to compare it to state of the art 3D re

Read up on SIMD in general. (The means of processing as opposed to the language used to dispatch commands.) (And worth baring in mind is the fact that terms such as VLIW4 and VLIW5 refer to specific implementations.) https://en.w

What I'm seeing from all of these things is very accurate single navigable 3D images. What I haven't seen anything of is feature and object detection, blocking and extraction. Hopefully a more efficient and streamable codec necess

That's super cool - and I don't know why we don't look into this as a replacement to provide a 3D mapping of parts of the body, for scans such as x-rays. Another thing I'd like to see - why not both? There're some v

It would be a better idea to use the same query with a variable wait and see if there's a linear correlation in elapsed time.

It's emergent.

This is frequently talked about regarding the scientific disciplines - it's very hard to make progress with novel ideas; and this despite the fact that every leap in understanding has been due to the novel contributions of novel minds.

At the time of initial integration, sure. But if it's only good enough when you write it, it's on a rapid path to becoming technical debt - and that's just not good enough.

No I'm not, I'm acting as if it reinforces my original point - which it does. That Valve is a software distribution company.
227.
by yarg 3y ago
Yes, of course they do - and all in service of steam.
228.
by yarg 3y ago
Valve's a software distribution company, not a hardware company. The steam deck exists primarily to expand their targetable market. It's of no benefit to them if people's devices fail - they just stop buying games (unlike App

It's heavily sandboxed, and there are other overheads to get around.

When I buy a disc reader, I'm buying it for offline content. It's a little different from a device whose primary purpose is digital communications at a distance.

This should be illegal. On the other hand, give Sony enough rope and every bloody time they'll convince me not to buy something that I actually kinda want. Don't worry, the marketing department will pretend that the products aren&

That's a workaround. I'm not a fan of those - if the engine's in the wrong place, then why the hell did you fucking put it there? Don't hack a patch into place to stop people from holding it wrong; design it in such a wa

I'm not suggesting scrounging. I'm suggesting that the guys who've repeatedly proven themselves technically competent around security at scale might have a couple of useful ideas regarding how the industry might go about craw

This needs to be resolved by every damned language. Just make signed dependencies a universal default, point to an https page for the package vendor and use the signing key from there. Neither node nor maven ever bothered to solve this, so

They don't have the technology or the expertise to produce high quality, high performance chips. It's a moot point whether or not they have access to the specs, and the only reason to think otherwise is buying into chinese propaga

Any use at NVidia for that tech? If the biggest problem is process, Altera should be shopping around for a company with an in on manufacturing at TSMC. (I doubt AMD's an option, since they already subsumed Xilinx.)

Just because the individual pixels have a Xhz frequency, doesn't mean that the whole screen has to - depending on how you do updates. I could, for example, update a different quarter of the screen at (4 * X)hz, which would introduce a

I just don't see this as a viable option for plug and play usage in a modern desktop environment. Something like this could be used with a bespoke UI optimised around office productivity. In such an environment, complete screen changes
