- Granville Island should be car-free, full stop;
- I actually don’t find that specific crossing very bad;
- This is still funny as hell.
I get the frustration, but AI has shown again and again that it repeats and magnifies human biases rather than blunting them. Non-AI algorithms designed by humans tend to make things worse even than that, like California’s “three strikes” law.
As someone from New Mexico, I’m just happy to be included (Americans often assume it’s a country outside the USA)
Genocide. Genocide. The fucking word is genocide. Fine reporting I guess but if the publication is going to directly allude to camps, they might as well use the goddamn correct term.
I’m hard pressed to imagine a worse suicide method. Huge potential for harm to others, permanent disfigurement and lifelong pain, and unlikely to succeed. I guess that’s the joke, but, damn
For directories, it’s permission to cd
into it. Read is whether you can list files, and write is remove, rename, or create new files. Don’t ask questions about the secret sticky bit
Sonars are not just a little “ping” noise underwater. They can carry enough energy to kill. It’s not subtle.
This. So tired of “reporting” that might as well be science fiction. Write an article when they have a fucking working prototype.
How does anyone have the impression that the UAE is anything other than incredibly corrupt and fucking medieval?
Little tip, since it’s an Electron app, you can reload the view with ctrl-R (cmd-R) on Mac. Saves you a trip to re-open, usually.
The basic measure is “accuracy”: the percentage of moves that are the best move for that position. Computers are, as you would expect, inhumanly good on this measure. Better than the best human players, who will have “inaccuracies” even in their best-played games. It makes spotting cheaters pretty reliable and easy. Niemann has been busted for cheating online repeatedly, and analysis of his in-person play bears the same hallmarks.
He’s the answer to the question in Mad Max: Fury Road. Obviously he had and has a lot of help, but so much comes back to him.
This is brilliant and I am going to use it.
“After this brutal belittling, gaslighting, and sexual harassment, you’re gonna have a lot of baggage. And the best way to carry it? The LTT backpack!”
Well, you can just ram them out of the way with your firetruck. Obviously that’s not a great option either, but if the FD does that then any damages are on the robot-taxi company.
Ding ding ding! We have a safe mode of robot transit: trains. See, we know exactly where they will go because they run on rails. Literally.
Observation is one I really enjoyed. Mild puzzling, tension but not really the sort that kills you, and a fun, mind-bending story. Also the title track is just amazing.
As someone who didn’t make it into law school, and didn’t keep trying partly because people who knew me well figured I’d likely have a stroke from rage as an attorney, I appreciate your wholesome and optimistic outlook you’ve carried into the career. Keep fighting the good fight!
Depends on your goal. If you want maximum sound attenuation, you can’t really beat cheap foamies, which are rated up to about 40 dB. If only about 20 dB is good enough for your needs and you want the comfort, custom molded ear plugs are great.
