    thats the whole point of turning to formal verification: Imagine a hypothetical oracle, call her MyladyMath, imagine you can turn to MyladyMath, submit a correctly formed dossier o…

    the compute for rigidly separated binocular vision is much much more compute efficient and precise than having to guesstimate positions from monocular + IMU.

    So you were working 10 x 1 hour = 10 hours before. And then you were doing 100 x 10 minutes = 100 / 6 hours = ~16 hours & 40 minutes.

    I'm not convinced it applies in the example given before your comment, because I 'm not convinced in his interpretation of the observed lower performance -that they are poor explai…

    It's a bit harsh. More to the point, and no longer specific to Tailscale: while plenty of companies do have rough "proof sketches" demonstrating the security of a setup under certa…

    Does this also apply to the non-alcoholic sparkling apple/grape/pear/...-juices mixed with vodka? Vodka-Kidibul in Belgium is quite nice. I don't know the brands in other parts of …
