Here is an example of using the Barcode Detection API w/ WebRTC on Android / Chrome: https://files.littlebird.com.au/barcode20.html
Through at-home DNA testing, I found out at the age of 29 that I was donor conceived. It was shocking to see my DNA relatives list be populated with 12 people to whom I shared about 25% of my DNA with that I had no idea existed just minutes before. It has been a roller coaster ever since with new half siblings popping up frequently and essentially having to onboard them to the family.

My biological father was open to any sort of relationship his donor offspring wanted, having no kids of his own. His parents and extended family also welcomed us very warmly. Unfortunately he actually passed away due to a freak accident before I even spat in the tube, robbing me of any opportunity to meet him. In a way however, I was very lucky. A non trivial number of people reaching out to their newly found bio parent are met with being ignored, blocked, or even cease and desist letters. It makes me legitimately sad for those who have a living bio parent but this person has no interest in any sort of relationship or even trivial contact. Knowing they are out there for the time but the day will come that they will no longer be.

It has been an isolating experience. The parents that donor kids grow up with were often told to never tell their kid, and even when/if their kid finds out, they typically attempt to keep them from telling anyone else. Then to be rejected by someone to whom you share half your DNA with, the half that has become a blank line on the medical questionnaire of your family’s medical history or just the simple question of why you don’t look much like the rest of your family, is just adding insult to physiological injury. The fertility industry peddled lies about anonymity despite knowing exactly how DNA works, that the offspring created will exist with half of the donors DNA in literally every cell of their body. I do not have a lot of sympathy for donors who were unpleasantly surprised that the consequence of donating gametes resulted in offspring and that eventually technology would enable deanonymization.

I’ve personally found a lot of comfort in my brothers and sisters that share the same donor as we are in the same boat. We are all eerily identical in our mannerisms, humor, values, and even choice in partner. But along with this comfort also exists lingering sadness that these people you just recently met, have come to really consider family, and genuinely become fond of, will never have shared growing up together and all the experiences this comes with. There is a podcast called “You look like me” that explores the experiences of Donor Conceived people, that has an episode titled “Memories missed” which very succinctly describes this sadness in those two words. In addition, forging and maintaining relationships as an adult is hard and it takes a lot of work to stay close. To top it all off, the fact that your original family expect you to stay quiet about literally half of yourself, leaves this comfort very bittersweet. It has been a few years since I found out and it really has changed my life and relationship with my parents forever. I have thought about this every day since, and it weighs on me more and more each day.
Thank you I appreciate the kind words.

I dunno, I'm increasingly coming around to the opinion that old technology that can't be used well anymore just doesn't have a place outside of a museum. Apple's recycling efforts are actually pretty good and so for their ecosystem I'm less bothered about ditching old devices and moving on with my life.

e.g, this:

>We see people revel in the functionality of old Macs/PCs all the time

To me isn't something worth revel'ing in, it just feels like waxing nostalgic. But I understand that I'm in the minority here and people legitimately like this stuff (and people like old cars and such, so hey, I get it), but it's not for me.
I don't think they're really comparable though. For example: Stainless steel contains 10.5%+ chromium. Carbon steel contains up to 10.5%. Steel (with a non-trace amount of chromium in it) ends up leeching trace amounts of chromium into food. Some cast iron probably has trace amounts of chromium in it, but far less than the 10%+ in steel.

This may also leech chromium into food, but most likely at an even further insignificant amount. It's not part of the study and I am not a chemist, so I don't want to make a conjecture.

I posted this link in the—perhaps vain—hope that it will lead to a reasoned discussion of the epistomological issues that it raises. For example: How is one to decide what is true when one’s loyalties or emotions lean strongly in one direction or another?

Almost all reviewers do this. For a "fair" comparison they'll test all CPUs with the same high-end motherboard and GPU which can be unrepresentative of real PCs.

You might think all motherboards should give similar performance but they don't due to differing VRM capacity and cooling. https://www.techspot.com/review/2426-intel-b660-motherboards...

It's not a bluff. Trust me, if there was scientific evidence of ET intelligent life visiting us, it would be all over the news.

More than zero reliable witnesses for the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life visiting us would be a good starting point. Vetoed by the scientific community, not associated to UFOlogist conspiracy groups, who understand the scientific method and who understand unexplained phenomena is just that: unexplained, and who are not trying to sell a book or a story for a made-for-TV movie.

Example template of unreliable and unscientific witnesses: experimental jet pilot who claims to have seen/recorded footage of a strange flying object that, according to his proven experience, cannot be flying according to known physics, and he has never seen anything like this. Also, one of his friends is an astronomer and told him what he saw is likely ET life. Also, his commanding officers told him to drop the issue. Someone made a documentary out of this and it's now on Netflix.

Why this isn't good evidence by a solid witness:

- Experienced pilots are not scientists nor physicists nor biologists. They are in no position to judge what is or is not possible, or what is a hint of ET life.

- Experienced pilots also lie and exaggerate.

- Unexplained phenomena is just that: unexplained. It can be equipment malfunction OR a genuine interesting physics phenomenon that is not easily explained... yet. An interesting puzzle, sure. Evidence of ET life? Very unlikely.

- Commanding officers dismissing him may be due to this being classified intel, them being annoyed at the UFO weirdo, or simply not having the time for that nonsense. The least likely explanation is that they are suppressing evidence of ET visitations.

- Random astronomer/scientist friends are not evidence when they assert things in isolation. _Doubly_ so if it's outside their area of expertise.

- Vetoing by the wider scientific community is necessary.

- Documentaries on Netflix or articles on magazines or websites are not evidence.

- Occam's Razor must be wielded before deciding this was indeed a UFO piloted by extraterrestrial beings instead of simply a natural occurrence on Earth.

Your turn.
No that's not what he's saying. They were led with the promise of NATO/EU membership with no intention to back it up.

The benchmark doesn't make sense at all. The encoders under the test were set to the same JPEG quality numbers, but this is a completely meaningless metric, and JPEG quantization matrices were not even examined to ensure that the quality is objectively comparable. See my blog post from 2008 regarding this very issue: https://patrakov.blogspot.com/2008/12/jpeg-quality-is-meanin...

This is actually a fairly common problem in game development! There are two largely used solutions:
1. Don't have fast moving objects
2. Use "continuous" collision detection.

Option 2 is more interesting. Continuous collision detection is, in essence, "looking ahead" at where an object is going and seeing if there are any potential collisions (typically using a bounding box or simplified geometry to save on CPU power). If there are no potential collisions, all is well, and if there is a potential collision we can then calculate its outcome.

You're throwing a lot of big claims around in this thread.

Could you provide:

1. What you eat in a day to hit those macros.

2. something to support your claims.
I'm especially excited about targeted treatments though. It is not just about being shared across cancers, but how specific those properties are to cancers.
PI at a cancer center here. These two ideas are not mutually exclusive. Cancer is indeed not 1 disease but many countless ones. At the same time, cancer diagnoses are based on site of origin and histology (how it looks under a microscope). But often what drives a cell of one tissue toward pathogenesis is the same mutation or other molecular malfunction as a cell of another tissue type. In those cases, we can develop drugs that target that specific component and it may work across both cancer types.

Unfortunately, there are countless ways things can go wrong in cells. There are also rarely drugs that truly span a large swath of cancer types effectively. That's because even though two cancers from different sites may have the same driver, how they respond to treatments can differ. The difference in cell state may allow one of the two cancers to adapt to the treatment, such as by activating an alternative growth pathway, whereas the other cancer type's cell of origin may not have such an easy road to therapeutic escape.

Amazing work. I have to ask, however: what does your engine do better (or plan to do better in the future if it's not there yet) than any of the existing 2D engines, like GMS2, Defold, etc? That is, why should a developer consider choosing your engine?
> Nobody would characterise a nuclear energy plant in a Western country as a "nuclear weapons research facility"

By nobody you mean everybody, especially everybody outside of the west? It's funny how blinded we are by our false sense of moral superiority.

> not least because the uranium involved is nowhere near weapons-grade.

Last I checked, doesn't take that much technical effort or time going from "civilian" to militar/weapons grade. There are an entire class of nations classified as nuclear latent powers - about 20 or so nations who could piggy back off their "civilian" nuclear industry to nuclears weapons in weeks/months. Surprisingly, the list is made up primarily of western nations ( which nobody would characterize as having nuclear weapons research facilities ) and japan/south korea/etc.

This question isn't even wrong.

It needs a serious dose of Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Science goes through huge upturns and there are intense debates, followed by periods of slow and steady progress, then another upheaval. This is normal and good. We stand on the shoulders of giants, while looking down at all of the wacky things they also believed (Newton believed in alchemy, astrology was all the rage for way too long, all the greats had some messed up beliefs about race).

The whole point of science is that you keep doing science and you keep updating your beliefs based on the results of the method, not that you believe eternally in the findings that come out of a single article in a scientific journal.

The GP isn't saying that the author is making the software unfree by mixing it with commercial software.

The GP is saying that author is distributing that software as unfree with a different license since as copyright holder, the author can do whatever they wish. QT, for example, is distributed as GPL or with a commercial license.

Which is to say the GP is correct this is possible and it's a sleazy maneuver.

Which is unfortunate since I actually am playing with Linux audio software and I'd love to find a good free software synthesizer. LMMS is OK but this does seem pretty impressive.
Thanks! The general answer is that it depends on your model and on which FPGA platform we're talking about, but in a head-to-head benchmark test you'll find results in the ballpark of 2-10x CPU and 0.5-2x GPU. As you point out, the power and cost are big differentiators. The other thing to consider is (as another commenter mentioned) that usually inference on CPU or GPU will require you to do some model quantization or compression, which can degrade model accuracy. Tensil can give you a way around that dilemma, so that you can have great performance without sacrificing accuracy.
It’s the chromium. Cookware usually has nickel too. When a pan is advertised as 18-8, they mean roughly 18%Cr-8%Ni. Basically the same as 304 stainless steel. You have molybdenum additions in something like 316 stainless steel.
Aaron Maté's journalism consists of reposting things Konstantin Kilimnik told him which is why he's spent the last few years claiming every political story mentioning Russia is fake, they've never hacked the US, etc.

Are there more people learning Rust than Python? I still felt like Python was sort of an ubiquitous language, a shared scripting language at the very least.

I'd say Python lacks a good out-of-the-box experience compared to Rust. You can't really use Python like Rust without figuring out how to install a project's dependencies, how to manage different versions of Python (which is even more of a nightmare if Python comes pre-installed with your OS), and Python's documentation kind-of-sucks in comparison to languages like Golang and Rust I find.
Anecdotally, an ex-partner of mine here in Australia was denied a transplant for several years due to her heavy marijuana use, but was eventually allowed a transplant. Unfortunately her body rejected it and it had to be removed, and she passed away a year later.
This is a really good thing to know about though. I love my cast iron pan. But tomato sauce is the one thing I still pull out my stainless steel pan for.

So is it better to just use my cast iron pan for tomato sauce too and just live with the fact I have to redo some of the seasoning if I happen to do multiple acidic sauces/dishes in a row?
I found the most reliable barcode scanner to be an old Symbol usb scanner.

I also found that I could scan barcodes off of a screen with a laser scanner if I put a translucent white plastic bag over the screen. Maybe someone with more knowledge about optics could give some insight into why that trick works. My understanding is that laser scanners should only be able to scan by reflection, and shouldn't work off of a screen at all.

The carbon-steel itself is very tough, but most people try to keep a layer of seasoning on it to prevent rust. Sometimes it takes a lot of care to maintain that seasoning, and it still might flake off because of e.g. metal spatulas.

Good stainless steel, OTOH, is generally hard enough to survive reasonable run-ins with metal utensils, and doesn't require re-seasoning.
