Sounds like the rule where if the headline ends in a question mark, the answer to the question is No.
I wonder if multiple sensors can be used with overlapping FOV. The website claims,

>> Can multiple L515 cameras be used simultaneously?

> Multiple cameras can share the same field of view utilizing our hardware sync feature.

I really want to get accurate 3D spherical volumes in real time. (30fps is sufficient, 60fps would be ideal)

I've thought about using Kinect "for Azure", because I think it satisfies this use case and does hardware clock syncing between devices:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/kinect-dk/

Edit: It looks like their RealSense cameras can be set up in an inward-facing configuration:

Which can be summarised as the "PR industry", and much of the history of SEO and overlaps with the thousands of agencies out there. Goes back to the earliest rings of blogspot spam promoting some dubious business or service. I think it was already a thing the very first time I became aware of SEO as something beyond just the local on page organisation of site, tags and such like. So probably mid 00's.

There have, of course, been no shortage of press stories about the tiny minority ethical side of this - allowing some crime victim to move beyond the story of their attack or similar.

The press don't - at least as far as I have seen - yet seem to connect any of the above with the relatively recent influence on elections, stories of fake news, or use by politicians themselves as reputation management (e.g. that Boris Johnson interview where he was randomly claiming out of nowhere, and thoroughly unbelievably, his hobby is making model busses out of cardboard boxes. Gets reported everywhere, the £350m promises on the side of the Brexit bus gets moved down a Google page or two).
For stories that are basically just regurgitating easily parsable statistics, this is going to become more and more common. The LA Times also has an algorithm that produces a story every time there's a large enough earthquake reported by the USGS. The byline gives the credit to "Quakebot", although the disclaimer that the article was auto-generated also credits the person who wrote the bot's code
Thanks for your response. I don't know enough right now to know if you're right, and I'm not interested in doing the research necessary to find out today. I may well have been wrong. Have a nice day.
Not germane in this case, but yes, it would in “sweat of the brow” jurisdictions like the UK.
The real problem is that there is an actual racial disparity in recidivism rates, so an algorithm that makes accurate predictions will predict the racial disparity that actually exists. There is no way to solve that without significantly impairing the accuracy of the predictions -- which is to say releasing convicts who we know have an unreasonably high probability of recidivism merely because there were too many other convicts with an unreasonably high probability of recidivism who were the same race.

You can also imagine what happens if you apply this recidivism "adjustment" to gender, which causes a lot of the people advocating it in the case of race to become nervous and defensive.
I think this is called the paradox of choice. There are TED talks and books about it.
In theory, yes.

In practice, no. It is customary for "pip install" to not require root, and for "| curl" to require it.
Hi ShamelessC. If you see this can you give it another try?

I think the latest version (v1.4.2) now available at https://www.fatpick.com/support/downloads fixes this.

I think same updates that fixed the notarization issue may fix this problem also (since we had to add an explicit entitlement for the audio input). If it doesn't please reach me via the contact form at https://www.fatpick.com/contact-us or email me directly at rod@<that-domain>. I'd really like to get to the bottom of this issue for both of our sake.

BTW: That minor latency calibration bug you mentioned is also "fixed", in that the button is disabled when you are on the play screen. This was already the behavior in the general case but that special red button you see when the latency has never been calibrated wasn't getting disabled by the same logic. It is now.

Well... by first trying to point out a little ignorance coming from your comment. Second, maybe add in some hypocrisy from your comment. Third, it is really not about how a community 'behaves' because that is beside the initial point of you advocating for censorship based on political opinions when you're referencing Reddit.

That community does not directly behave in violence, hate, etc. How ridiculous of you to make that assertion. You're likely buying into the bullshit about the excuse Reddit made to censor them to begin with..."Anti police rhetoric" ...it is laughable that you're buying that.

Every encounter with AT&T has felt like a scam to me. I tried a mobile hotspot two years ago on a 14 day free trial. One bar of signal, so I returned it the same day I received it. It took them 14 days to "process" the return, and I ended up with a $285 bill (activation fee, two months service). Last year, I was trying to find a carrier that would work with my Sierra Wireless WLAN card, and ended up repeating the same horrible experience - this round cost me $180. Next, I tried Cricket Wireless, which uses the AT&T network. No activation fee, $35/month, works flawlessly. Its not the network, its the company.
Consider the two theoretical choices that Greg Mankiew (economist) supplies:

1. Means Tested Transfer of $1k per month to those with 0 income, phased out progressively by 20 cents per dollar of income. Funded by a progressive income tax: 20% of incomes above $60k.

2. Universal Basic Income: $1k per month to all, funded by 20% flat tax on all income.

Which is better? (Answer: they're the same). It's just that choice 2 gives and takes income from all at different times, but the political benefits are enormous. Universal programs are much more resistant to being slashed like the current TANF and SNAP programs.

There are countless great games that have glitches that speedrunners take advantage of. The "any%" category of speed running is all about that. If you're saying that any game with glitches like that had bad QA and poor communication, then either

A: That is true for all games

or

B: You're holding everybody to too high a standard.

Some recent examples: There's a glitch in Zelda: Breath of the Wild where if you shield surf onto an enemy while it's taking damage while you're in slow-mo because of shooting an arrow while falling, you'll bounce off of them about a mile into the sky. In DOOM (2016), there's a physics bug that lets you rocket into the sky by standing on a railing and then... standing up. You can also glitch through doors by triggering a specific take-down animation on zombies.

Those are incredible games, and relatively bug-free.

Hah, I actually did the same, and it was basically a stream of WTFs?!

To put a positive spin on this (perhaps a first for me in this thread!), I plan on doing something of an internal post-mortem with my team, where we'll look at the deficiencies of this design, try to reason about how on earth it came to fruition, and critique our in-place review processes to make sure something like this never happens to us.
Hi royletron, for what it is worth I think the latest version (v1.4.2) now available at https://www.fatpick.com/support/downloads fixes this.

Did they have to use a human driver to get the last few miles through surface streets?
Can you use multiple sensors with a spherically overlapping FOV?

Kinect for Azure purports to be able to support overlapping FOV (whereas Kinect 1 for Xbox did not)
Login.gov wants them to stop using their "personal key" which was essentially another password.

It didn't offer them Google Authenticator because they already /have/ Google Authenticator.

It wants every user to have TWO (or more) second factors available, because "two is one and one is none". If we tell users to have one second factor, they will forget it and then why did we bother building a second factor system?

So they need to pick another second factor they DON'T already have. They've apparently decided they don't want to write down 10 codes (fine) and they don't own a FIDO security key (I guess maybe they're poor?) so that only leaves SMS unless you have government ID.

The correct thing to do here if you care about Security is to buy at least two different FIDO Security keys and use those. Each of your FIDO keys counts as a different method.

If you have a shiny enough Android phone (maybe only Pixel series?) you can use that (in Windows). A new enough Windows PC might work too. But the tiny dedicated Security Keys are relatively affordable, you can get ones compatible with most plausible devices (iPhones, Linux PCs, whatever) and easy to reason about like real keys are. Has anybody stolen my FIDO key? No, it is here in my pocket. OK.
How does keeping a short token in redis or other would make the application easier to DOS than any other resource?
It really depends on the amount and duration of exposure. Eg lasers that are pulsed won’t warm or irritate tissue as much as continuous radiation. Some energy is also absorbed by the eyeball before it reaches the retina. The wavelength also plays a part, with some wavelengths penetrating water (=tissue) better than others.
Laser light is more powerful than eg ordinary LED light because the emitted photons act coherent (possible in both the spatial and temporal dimensions), so they are more efficient heating things up, or reacting with chromophores in cells. But if the energy arriving at the retina is low enough, this will be no issue.

I wonder how many of those "new reddit" hits are unintentional (like someone who doesn't want to log into reddit on their work computer, so the setting for "old" reddit doesn't stick)

Edit: Just for comparison, I moderate a medium sized sports subreddit. Traffic waxes and wanes a bit based on when games happen, the memeability of recent events, and the activities of Donald Trump. We see a lot more app traffic, and new reddit is about as rare as people using mobile browsers.

Our ~416k page views are distributed like this:

Apps: 62%

Mobile browsers: 7%

Old reddit: 25%

New reddit: 6%

For a month of uniques (48k):

Apps: 54%

Mobile browsers: 12%

Old reddit: 21%

New reddit: 12%

The first comment from 11 months ago is wrong.

>JWTs are useful, but there are a few things that are not immediately obvious.
>1) They are signed not encrypted.

This is not true. JWT's can be encrypted, signed, or both (nested). One might first look to see if this misconception is the fault of a poorly written spec, but it's literally in the second sentence of the abstract and plain as day in the introduction. People are simply not reading it.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519

It drives me mad when people refer to JWT's as basically JWS's, ignoring the rest of the JWT standard and JOSE. The fact that these misconceptions continue to be up voted shows the broad misunderstanding of the standard.

They often do work, on a toy compiler that has a carefully selected subset of features expected in a professional compiler. Things like "let's not allow casting! or exceptions! or inline assembler! or interfacing to C! or integer wraparound!"
The way I see it: EITC < NIT (Negative Income Tax) < UBI

EITC is what we got, it's means tested and has a work requirement. Take away the work requirement and we'd have a NIT like the one proposed by milton friedman in the 70s. And take away the means testing and we're at UBI.

Java _code_. It's madness, though I'm assured it made sense at the time.
There have been lots of little indoor LIDAR units. The SwissRanger, around 2005, was one of the early ones.
The Kinect, version 2, is one. The Kinect, version 1, was a random dot pattern projector and two cameras for triangulation. Intel made something similar, the RealSense.

So far, the most popular use for these things is video background removal, allowing "green screen" type effects without needing an actual green screen.
Interactions should be atomic. Unexpected outcomes in a state machine should be rejected (and probably errors logged if in dev mode).

Edit (additionally):

If they can't be made atomic, make the transitions timed, with expiration, never allow deadlocks to occur and always branch to a fail-safe state. Players will tolerate things like the uncontrollable NPC getting pinched off screen and respawning, even with a comical animation if it's that kind of game; they hate a blind referee ruining things for no perceivable reason.

I don't actually use 35-char passwords. That was just to answer the challenge. Mine are more on the order of 20.

It's fairly fast, actually. One of the things I've decided to do is trade some entropy for having only lower case letters and the minimum symbol count, because what tended to screw me up most was synchronizing the shift key with the rest of the password... which I suppose also gives a clue about the speed. It's at least no slower than a passphrase of equivalent strength, and it fits my brain.

But if passphrases work better for you, by all means, please do.

Also, I have a password manager. I only have about 4 of these at any given time, and I can afford the cognitive burden of ensuring they are all very strong. It'd be a different problem otherwise.
One could argue that all errors are type errors. There is not just a type system, static or dynamic, inferred or annotated, which is good enough to catch all bugs. :P
No need for telemetry. Keep a local log (of what you would be sending via telemetry), and when the player decides to file a bug, inform them that'll include sending the log, with the option to cancel/file bug without a log.

Many bug reporting systems already work this way, such as the one used by Firefox, I think.

Just because something can be done by violating user privacy, that doesn't mean it's the only way, or even that alternatives are difficult.
That might depend on how much semantics is related to having a body. We do utilize quite a lot of metaphors that are based on the kinds of bodies and senses we have. The question here is how much embodiment is necessary for understanding semantics. Maybe it's possible to brute force around that with ML, or stack enough human hours into building the right ontologies in symbolic AI. But maybe not.

I think people like Rodney Brooks are of the belief you need to start with robots that learn their environment and build up from there.
you can use a teensy. i have a prototype that communicates to a teensy over serial connection and types in a pw from an app. could use wifi or bluetooth too.

I think you are glossing over the reality of how unions work. If someone is dumping poisons in the river, you have the chance to get laws passed against it. Others can organize to prevent those laws from being passed as well. Everyone is not compelled to take a single position on the issue or obligated to join a single party, and there is no mandatory fee either. It is a very different situation from being in a union (in the US, anyways).

I did this at my old job where they forced regular PW changes. The thing that changed was the string of digits at the end, which was always the year and month I was last forced to change it.

Of course, for my personal logins I use a manager and unique strong passwords, but they gave me no reason to care about password security and a bunch of reasons not to.

Honestly I'm surprised it's as low as 49%.
Palantir deepens its Pentagon business with new $110M Army contract
Read your company's stock option plan.

Most stock option plans have language that auto-adjusts all outstanding option awards in the same proportion as the stock split.

For example, if the company did a 1:5 stock split, your option award would also split 1:5.

So... if your company's stock option plan has this standard auto-adjust language, a stock split is likely a non-issue.
> Whether or not your employer can claim ownership in court depends entirely on your contract.

Entirely this.

I got burned by this years ago, developing side project that was completely unrelated to the sort of work my employer did, and was not developed using any company resources. But my employment contract specified that my employer had first rights to anything I developed at all during the term of my employment.

From that time on, whenever I'm negotiating a new employment contract, I make sure that any such clause is omitted from it. I've never had an employer completely balk at that, although some have negotiated a middle ground where they get first rights to a time-limited exclusive license to any side project I do that does overlap with their activities.

This sort of thing is why I advise people to actually read and understand employment (and all other) contracts before signing, and to not be shy about requesting changes to them if the terms aren't acceptable.

Also, don't listen to verbal assurances like "that's just boilerplate, we never actually enforce that". That may or may not be true at the moment, but there's no guarantee it will remain true over time. When the rubber meets the road, what the contract says is what will happen.
Probably true but how many devs that think they are 10X are just regular devs with 10X ego that compare themselves with the lowest possible dev to feel superior.

I could see a union that won't put upper limit but would fight for fairness, extra hours paid double, no more then X hours a month etc.
"Amazon is currently appealing a Pentagon decision to award a 10 billion defense contract to Microsoft over Amazon."

As a part of that pitch Bezos makes statements in favour of the Pentagon.

Now let's look at how the Washington Post reports that. I'm guessing there'll be a slant trashing Sanders somewhere but maybe they'll leave that out as a distraction from uncritical support of Bezos' interests.

How much is enough Bezos? You've got more money than 5 future generations of your family can ever spend on anything. Unless things get a lot worse. Go dodge some more tax. You give capitalism a bad name.
