The biggest issue is that you need a well lit, stationary face for it to properly map features of the jpg you are using to substitute for your face. Also the jpg needs clearly identifiable features. Even then, the amount of facial expression is subdued (for example closing your eyes is not properly processed).

I seem to recall software about 10 years ago where you drew line segments of corresponding features on 2 images and the jpg was then mapped onto the video. It was more accurate and expressive than this is but did require time to set up.
Nice work!

Is this a serious answer (eg. from an anarcho-capitalist or you think the government should do much more so you have to do less) or a facetious answer? I realize that there's not a good likelihood that the government will likely change such that we (almost) never have to interact with it.

I don't have a link, but I remember reading elsewhere that with other coronaviruses (many cold viruses are in this category), it's thought possible to be reinfected after a while, especially if the symptoms are mild. The worse the symptoms, the stronger and longer lasting the immune response tends to be, which reduces chance of reinfection.

Edit: this may be relevant https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/03/20/8190384...

Nope. Acquire/release at C level translates into a compiler barrier and the exact machine implementation will depend on hardware. However, on x86, for example, with its strong memory semantics, ordinary stores already have release semantics and do not require an architectural barrier (wmb/sfence). No sfence, no lock prefix.
There is also a big quality difference. Turbines kill raptors, eagles, storks and vultures. And some hunters kill huge amounts of migratory birds. You need to put all things together.

Birds know well that cats are dangerous. The real problem is the habitat loss and pesticides. The first force birds to nest in dangerous suboptimal places, where cats can catch them. The second makes them much more vulnerable to cats.

Windows crashes take its toll also.

This program won't install on Windows 7 because it requires .NET Framework version 4.8, which won't install on Windows 7, because Micro$oft doesn't support it any longer.

That's for the 2017-2018 season and it was the worst flu season in quite some time. The article even says it's the worst flu season in at least 4 decades and way outside the normal range:

"In recent years, flu-related deaths have ranged from about 12,000 to — in the worst year — 56,000, according to the CDC."

This is not to mention that these estimates include non flu deaths to compensate for the fact that not every dead person gets tested for the flu and even those that are, often wouldn't be documented as flu deaths. For example, if COVID-19 was merely a minor outbreak, COVID-19 deaths would be counted towards flu deaths, as the cause of the death would be viral pneumonia and viral pneumonia is statistically likely to be caused by the flu.

The reverse isn't close to true - we're for the most part only attributing deaths to COVID-19 when it's either a confirmed case or otherwise overwhelmingly likely to be caused by it. It's a certainty that COVID-19 will end up killing more people in the month of April than the flu kills most years.

What is the command line support like for multi-writer?

Do you have any metrics for how much Dat is currently being used?

I have a DEC 440 and a HP 700/96 terminal and I love and use both. I can do almost anything using them (I still can read most of the web using one of the several text-based web browsers as well), but the main problem for me is using multi-byte encodings, mainly UTF-8.

I though about writing a terminal application that would stand between the physical terminal and /dev/tty* to translate a UTF-8 multi-byte character to a predefined ASCII character. It would be confusing, but still less confusing than the mess I get today when I try to see information code d in UTF-8.

iconv is not a good choice because, AFAIK, there are hundreds of code points impossible to be translate to character sets that have 256 possible values.

Any tips?
Acceleration is better than nothing. But schools specifically for high-IQ kids would be even better -- there you could be with kids your age who would simultaneously be your intellectual peers.

Yeah, I heard that to about emails, after so many days they consider it abandoned property. But seems some different courts debate over that...

Written back in the old days when everyone used POP for mail... Emails would download to your computer and be deleted from the server. Plus webmail back then had limited storage anyways, like 20MB while now you can get at least a gig or more depending on the provider. So the server was more just like a temporary holding space for your email, before it got downloaded to your computer where you'd store it longer term and be responsible to back it up, etc yourself.

Now with webmail and IMAP (where your same email account can be on both your phone and laptop). Super outdated now since we access email differently now with multiple modern devices, I doubt many people use POP email now.

Host-managed SMR came first. When it wasn't being adopted because it sucks, drive-managed SMR like the crap WD is selling as Reds came about.

SCSI and SATA and operating systems already have support for host-managed SMR — the name used in this context is "ZONE" and those changes happened around 5+ years ago.

Robotaxis are Rube Goldberg machines, there are so many moving parts. The running joke at Waymo for a while was "How many engineers does it take to operate a self driving car?"

Everybody was convinced deep learning would give us all the magically brilliant AI we needed to make this work. With perception and classification problems the robotics industry was able to go from "impossibru" to "holy shit it works" over the space of a couple years, it was really exciting. In hindsight it's easy to see that the exciting and game changing breakthroughs were in fact a long time coming, and that the real rate of progress in open world robotics is in fact excrutiatingly slow and bespoke. Nobody has an ace up their sleeve.
Why would you design a price for "value provided"? That's highly subjective to the user. Users also generally only pay for what they expect to pay, not the value they're getting.

For instance, some utility might save hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars over the course of its usage, which is tremendous value. Yet if the average user expects that it should cost no more than, say, twenty dollars, that's what they'll be ready to pay.

This is why anchoring is beneficial, it gives you the opportunity to tilt that expectation a little bit.

Is that "tricking the user"? Arguably, but since you can't know the value users will actually get out of your product, any claims in that regard will fall under "marketing BS" as well. Pick your bullshit wisely.
Impressive. Can you give a rough guideline about how much men and CPI you allocate to each task (and how much physical men and CPU are in the host)?

That sounds like Buildah (https://github.com/containers/buildah/blob/master/README.md).

We've had decent authentication in OSPF for ... decades.

Most of the egregious problems with IP options have been worked around well, again for decades.

ARP is problematic, but only within a segment. Your attacker has to be close. For IPv6, we have SEND, but it is not without problems.

DoH doesn't prevent someone from poisoning well-trafficked DoH resolvers to redirect individual domains. DNSSEC does. I run it on my zones, and it's not so bad... About 40% of resolver traffic to my domains is verifying, too, so we're getting there...

This also means you'll need a lot more HD's per RAID set to guard against multiple failures during rebuild. Which means that even the supposed data density/space advantage of SMR is moot - you'd be better off with PMR.
Sounds like a not-so-great culture and probably poor leadership. I can relate to what you're going through; I've worked in places that sapped every last ounce of emotional energy out of me. It was hard.

I think the original US lockdowns should have happened far sooner and been far more stringent. In my ultra-liberal state, the governor decided just within the last week or two that schools should definitely be closed until July. Idiot.

But, as we pass the initial peak and have better experience and surveillance, we should very carefully consider what to do next. Just locking down for a year or two is not the "safe" option.
> Go is absolutely best-in-class if you have typical Python values.

"Best in class" is not a relative term. Neither Go nor Python are appropriate choices for highly parallel intercomunicating code. Yes, Python is more limited than Go here, but hardly makes a difference when you avoid it.

Haskell and Rust do make it easier, by forcing developers to organize their code in a completely different way. Erlang does the same, with a different kind of organization. None of those languages are more difficult to program in, but yes, they are hard to learn.
Because "something better than humans can do" is the whole selling point of self-driving cars.

And plenty of us humans can and do drive reasonably-safely in snowy/icy conditions. It takes practice, like anything else driving-related, but it's something that most drivers north of the Mason-Dixon Line likely have quite a bit of practice with and have to handle a significant fraction of the year. It's not unreasonable to hold self-driving cars to the same standard.
> Does the newest version of dat handle large files well (10gb)?

Large files work fine but currently any change to a file rewrites it in its entirety. That will mean history will be large until the GC kicks in, and any file that's modified has to be redownloaded in its entirety.

The team spent a fair amount of time looking at a solution to partial file-updates which works like inodes. They ultimately decided it was too difficult to pull off for now.

> Does it handle tons of files nested in a few directories well?

Yep, no issues there

> What is the command line support like for multi-writer?

We're still deciding on how to handle multi-writer. It's a priority for us after the upcoming stable release.

> Do you have any metrics for how much Dat is currently being used?

First you said that the modern way is to use acquire/release instead of a barrier, then admitted that it is a barrier at the compiler level. The fact that it doesn't require a barrier instruction on the x86 is pretty much irrelevant. Not all the world's an x86, and even the x86 hasn't always been the same in this regard. So your rude "nope" is unwarranted. This attitude of "as it is (in my world) now, so it has ever been and ever will be (everywhere)" is exactly why these bugs occur.
