This reminds me a lot of the Cicret bracelet. A device that small is not gonna give you a good projection image...

The thing that makes a truly brilliant programmer is the ability to manage your bad manager -- to draw out demands they're incapable of articulating.

Does anyone remember the Cicret bracelet scam? This seems an exact copy of that, except now on your shirt.

That's a false dichotomy. The only reason supplies aren't available anyway is because they've been soaked up by scalpers. The situation you're describing it a textbook example, not something that happens in the real worl

Higher clock speeds in processors always come with additional self-interference (crosstalk), signal degradation, signal reflection, etc. so such a significantly higher clock speed than typical desktop processors indicates interesting strate

Yes, it just comments that the I9 chip has speeds up to 6GHz. It doesn't imply a relation to performance unless you don't know what clock speed does in a processor.

Of course, computers and humans must use the same time system. Which is why now that we have computers, we always specify the number of milliseconds in everything. Unfortunately, until someone builds a type of computer that can do the type

The arguments against removing timezones apply to adding timezones - it just depends on what you're used to or which type of conversion you find easier. The arguments in this oft-circulated article really fall flat.

I don't see where in the link it does say that clock speed is an indicator of performance.

It's going to be a long time before it's put into use if this paper is correct. While it's exciting that a mechanism has been discovered (possibly), it seems to imply that the current method of synthesizing it is partially lu

I am toying about with building a virtual puppet software in the style of watchmeforever. I have a number of voices I do for the stage and DnD that I would be willing to train a few models on so I could give my puppets unique voices.

You're falling for the availability heuristic. I work at a healthcare software company that specializes in finding people services (a.k.a. referrals), and the wait times for our "have-nots" are much longer than four months. T

It really does feel straight out of a compilers textbook... including the suggestion to think of and add new keywords and features just for the sake of exercise.

It's true... Go was supposed to be great for mission-critical stuff but the issues pop up quickly. I've seen several cases where someone migrates a Go service to Rust and like a bad dream the major problems disappear.

Somehow these articles are more readable than typical AI-generated search engine fodder... Is it because I'm entering the site with an expectation of nonsense?

I've used AI to try out different composition/layout possibilities. Sometimes it comes up with an arrangement of objects I hadn't considered. Sometimes it uses colors in really interesting ways. Great jumping-off point for dr

In my experience, these bits and pieces taught during practical lessons don't help if you don't already have a musical intuition. Like mathematics, we need to stop catering only to those who already "get it" and also tea

I think that's the idea. It's showing that they don't need to tie the toy to an existing word they may have heard from a parent, babies acquire language quickly enough most of the time to assign a new word to a concept instan

It's not strange to localize your name. In ASL for example, you could sign your English name letter-by-letter, but it's much more common to have a totally new sign for your name - usually a word combined with the first letter of y

I agree with the input thing. Audio just doesn't satisfy the requirements of a complex user interface for use in public spaces. I'm planning on eventually getting an Apple Watch so I can leave my phone at home, and want to try usi

This wasn't mentioned in the article, but the newer cellular variants of the watch allow you to place and receive calls even without your phone nearby. You can also stream music, stream podcasts, etc. without the phone nearby, listenin

Would it make you feel better to know your PID is being stored in a database language where the only data type is strings, and there is an intrinsic command to interpret any string as code?
