Much of the criticism of the Iphone photos is the fisheye effect. This is exaggerated, because you took the photos from different distances. If the Iphone photos were taken at the …

We are? There are games like this in any modern "arcade" like Dave & Buster's. If you mean why aren't we building highly specialized hardware like this any more, I'd say it's becau…

Those stores also predominantly sell imported products. They are going to be affected disproportionately by the tariffs.

Better on every axis: security, performance, resource consumption, reliability, verification, documentation... Code is a pure liability that you accept to get a useful service.

Image quality is extremely important for medical image analysis. A flickering low resolution display is the last thing you'd want a doctor looking at.

I rode in a Waymo for the first time last week. The highest praise I can give it is that it's boring. It drives like a careful human with zero surprises.

"The breakdown is dramatic, as models also express strong overconfidence in their wrong solutions, while providing often non-sensical "reasoning"-like explanations akin to confabul…

> It fired my imagination. I was always bad at that game but while playingit I was a Starship Pilot! "Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend t…

It's not better though. The STR template processor behaves the exact same way as all the other examples, and it's the one that all the inexperienced devs prone to this kind of inje…

But 100mph (or kph) is also a way to describe charging speed.

Even with SQL we recognize that while aggregate roots and ORMS are great for storing and editing single items, they're terrible for use cases where the data is _used_, and you're b…

They did a poor job of qualifying "cheap". They link to a $50 Harbor Freight unit, which is a proper temperature controlled soldering station. It should certainly be made clear tha…

The free subscription on my 2021 Toyota expired 16 months ago. Remote start still works. (Well, the fob button sequence is as finicky and inconsistent as it always was, but it does…

Why is there a "Jupyter+Git" problem specifically? Why aren't we worrying about the "C+Git" problem and the "XML+Git" problem and the "Python+Git" problem? Because merge markers br…

You have something against the ladies of Eroticon 6?

A roller-style rotary encoder would work better. And perhaps be a better ergnonomic fit for what I assume is its primary use case, scrolling.

An alternative approach would be to relay the signal on the surface, perhaps using a fleet of aquatic animals with the same communication system mounted on them. You know, sharks w…

The playfield is a moving camera view on a static world. The bird moves forward constantly, the camera follows the bird, and the pipes spawn at a fixed location one screen width ah…

Almost worth it to be able to see a Rat Thing in action. Very briefly.

I figured that it was either an aggregator/search engine for research papers, or a GPT-3 random research paper generator. After reading 5-6 abstracts, I'm about 60% confident it's …

They didn't disclose that information that everyone even vaguely involved in the tech and gaming industry knew!

When I was researching my kid's ADHD medicine I was fascinated to learn about its osmotic release delivery system ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic-controlled_release_ora... …

Why are all of the API clients so intent on storing all your requests and environment config in the cloud? We would keep a directory of relevant collections and environments inside…

So do you jam the chip into the parallel port? Or do you...use an adapter?
