Thanks for taking the time to reply! I appreciate your 2c.

I guess my confusion about pure I/O stems from the documentation of phrase_from_file/2 in SWI-Prolog. The documentation says the predicate is for pure I/O and how it was implemented, and by whom, but it doesn't say what pure I/O is, and why it is needed. I guess the information is somewhere in one (or more) of the canonical Prolog textbooks, which I've only read several years ago (though multiple times over, each).

I have to confess also I'm not much of a purist. My Prolog code looks like bog standard imperative code where I feel it doesn't really matter (e.g. I don't have any prejudice about setof/3 or maplist/2 over findall/3), and I guess file I/O is one of those cases.

Anyway, thanks again, for your links and explanation. I owe you a quantum of knowledge :)
No one is saying you should push kids to do things without compromising at all. There's a wide spectrum between "leave the kid to figure out all their hobbies themselves" and "require that they do the four hobbies that you've picked for them.

I think it's absolutely healthy to push kids to a certain extent. That extent is just something that's probably different for every kid and activity, and I get that it's probably hard for a parent to figure out when to push and when to give up.
Oops. Well I suppose there’s that. I’ll add that I have no idea how “bankruptcy tourism” works, other than that people do it. It’s odd that one can do it at all.
Of course not, the crawler doesn't even read robots.txt because it's "too difficult to implement"

Well, your kids are wrong. They imagine enjoying all the benefits in the present, while all the costs are already in the past so they don't properly account for them.

It's just confused thinking on their part (very common, judging by some of the comments here).

(All of this is about "pushing" or "forcing", not about "encouraging", which I believe to be very different).
Note that this specific rant is a bit out of date as these days register-register CMOS has a very short latency (1 clock on Ice Lake for example).

Still of course if your branch is very predictable, there is little need for cmov.
The bug is the compiler is supposed generate code to save the register or the implementation they patched is wrong?

Kind of hard to wade through the overly descriptive story to figure out what the problem was.
>given twitter isn't profitable, i'd imagine its more money than they've ever made

But it's not as much money as they're making in ad sales to those phone numbers. Twitter will just see it as a cost of doing business and there won't be any meaningful change.
I dont have the power of down vote but I am glad I dont because I am required to call you out in text for being a disgusting white nationalist racist, and I realize you are no longer a fringe minority. I hope you change your opinion on these matters but the prevalence of such views has caused me to give up hope. All my ancestors who came here were immigrants and they did some terrible things to establish themselves. There is no good American culture, its a myth. More new people give us an advantage over countries that are very homogeneous.

In short, we should literally be recruiting whomever is willing to. come here - people are an asset, not a liablility. From the most basic economic point of view, a country with a string positive growth rate has an advantage. But I could go on.
Sure, but that means deploying was broken for a large number of people, and that they had to spend a non-trivial amount of time setting up an alternative deployment method. For us it wasn't too bad as we already had external CI pipelines (but it still took me most of a day to sort it out). But if you were using heroku for CI then it would have been a much bigger issue.
I think it's fine to try to get your child into anything you like. But listen to them. Sometimes pushback is just childlike short-sightedness, but other times it's genuine and should be listened to.
In my 25 years working with c++ I’ve encountered just one compiler bug - msvc hard crash no error - found that reversing the order of two int declarations fixed it. Was quite a while ago. It’s insane how rare bugs are in these incredibly complicated programs. Annoyances? Oh sure there’s a ton, but straight up bugs are so close to non existent it’s safer to say “it’s never a compiler bug”
Facebook is pretty good at blocking that too. The giveaway is the blurry background, so a bit of photoshopping is required.
Reading the first few paragraphs (mainly the 25k descriptor copy and CBV creation calls) I really wonder if the game would perform better on PC if they had just gone with a traditional D3D11 renderer (assuming the team is more familiar with D3D11 than D3D12). At least it explains why the game stutters on my PC with a 2070RTX even at 1080p and medium graphics settings (so the performance problems are most likely not caused by too complex shaders).

Hmm, paused by the main dev? Probably yeah, but community continues to develop it if you check the discord group and git commits. There's some model/sprite rework and the coalition campaign that they were working on the last I checked.
They are hugely popular in my city (and others in dense populated cities/cities with high student populations).

I think a major reason is thought:
- They’re all entering the same market at the same time doing huge marketing campaigns. I can’t imagine this will lead to any profits. With food deliveries being extremely competitive and regular grocery prices also being extremely competitive, it must be hard to make money. Especially with so many competitors from the start.
- Increasing regulations, they’re no longer allowed to open in city centres and being forced to locate in business parks/outside areas. This ruins their whole “delivered in 5 min!!!” promise and makes it take longer than walking to a grocery store with cheaper prices.
This is only in benchmarks.

Your comment is just foul.
From what I can tell, Americans that are opposed to gun restrictions generally also think that "active shooter drills" are indeed a waste of time that just traumatize children for no real benefit other than the political gain of people that want to ban guns. So you're probably pushing against an open door with that argument.
It's a Heroku issue. Salesforce has basically gutted the team, and put a freeze on new development (source: previous HN threads). Github is just fine.
Roughly, the power of a digital system is sum of the static power and the dynamic power (P=1/2 CV^2*F).

1. Discrete logic chips tend to be built in substantially larger process nodes (microns vs nanometers) that are less efficient. This means higher leakage current and more static power.

2. Discrete logic has to drive traces on a PCB, which have substantially higher capacitance (C) and therefore use more power getting across a board.

3. Discrete logic operates at higher voltages. Contrast 5V TTL vs. 1V core voltage inside a processor. Power is proportional to the voltage squared.

4. A microprocessor running even at low speed can replace a massive number of discrete logic chips, so for simple solutions F is low. If you're doing something very simple and interrupt-driven, F can be in the tens-hundreds of kHz.

Consequently, there's a whole lot more of both static and dynamic power with discrete logic than with a uC.

I play pavlov on PCVR and it’sa bit of a different experience. Not sure if there is cross play but most of the people I’ve played against are much more experienced. I think a lot of the people that spend a significant amount amount of time playing also use a mount for their controllers to improve stability and aim.
Nope.

US already has a lot of weapons, and getting them illegaly is a lot easier, than in UK, where they literally have to smuggle them from abroad, and being an island makes it even harder.

I live in the balkans, and getting a gun here is very hard, almost impossible. People still get shot, and during the "wild 90s" here, there were a lot of shootings, even mass ones (not during the war, but after, or in in-war areas).

The only difference is, that we have "different criminals" here, so when someone gets shot, both the shooter and the shot person usually know why they're shooting and why they're being shot, and it's rarely without a good reason.

I'm currently working fulltime on AI-powered design suite Accomplice (https://accomplice.ai) and if you ask me on a good day I would tell you I do think there's already huge commercial potential. On a bad day, though ;)

My current approach is a "model marketplace" (https://accomplice.ai/models) where the most popular open source text-to-image models (VQGAN+CLIP, Disco Diffusion, DALL-E Mega coming soon…), sit alongside the most popular open source style transfer models, and then finally I have the ability for a user to finetune their own models using a simple drag-and-drop tool (https://accomplice.ai/no-code-model-training).

Using this approach a user has enough models to try or train that they can have a higher hit rate. For example, Accomplice currently has finetuned models for photo realistic people (https://accomplice.ai/models/f58bfa91-bb18-406f-a0e1-db00fcf...), watercolor backgrounds (https://accomplice.ai/models/91b8a080-faca-4ff4-8b11-64b0789...), etc…

So theoretically if there were a searchable marketplace of 100s of different finetuned models people could choose from, they would use it much like an iStockPhoto and be able to create the kind of images they want instead of just downloading them.

But it's of course a constant work in progress. Slowly growing though and lots of promising stuff ahead!
This is true. However your workload runs in a multitasking OS which, at least for Win 10, needs at least a core only for itself.
You are dodging the issue with white nationalist talking points. The issue at hand is not the black murder rate. The discussion is should we restrict assault weapons, limit access to who can purchase firearms (via licensing, safety training, etc.), limit ammo capacity, etc in order to reduce mass shootings.

Texas has a strong gun culture, Christian culture, NRA approved and funded government, extremely lax gun control, concealed carry, and children are still dying needlessly. Texas removed firearm permit requirements last year making it easier to obtain assault weapons.

Australia undertook strict gun control measures nationwide and essentially eliminated mass shooting deaths.
An adventure game, of the old style with a plot to solve, like Police Quest, Rise of the Dragon, Space Quest, Pandora Directive, and such, but with 3D graphics in the style of a first person shooter game (like CoD, Quake, Halo, and such), and, why not, some chances to be involved in the ocassional shootout (in fuller FPS mode, but only as a rare break from plot solving, like old adventures would have some action sequence or logic puzzle to solve, not as a big part of the game)...

Don't know why they never really merged adventure games with FPS graphics...

Arguably everything these days must be derived from something else, at least to some extent. Not sure there are really that many viable story ideas out there, and I wouldn't be surprised if the last several thousand years of stories have covered most of them.
What you're referring to is how operating systems maintain the integrity of capabilities. This is addressed directly in 'Capability Based Computer Systems'. I would direct you to chapter 1 section 1.1.

> A capability thus provides addressing and access rights to an
object.

> a program cannot access an object unless its capability list contains a
suitably privileged capability for the object.

> Capability system integrity is usually maintained by prohibiting direct program modification of the capability list. The
capability list is modified only by the operating system or the
hardware.

> Thus, a program can execute direct control over the movement
of capabilities and can share capabilities, and therefore, objects, with other programs and users.

You can think of capabilities lists as kernel managed namespaces if you'd like. Maybe that would help clear things up.
In Australia it’s illegal to carry a pocket knife in public unless you are a chef or need it for doing your job…
'Drill and kill' doesn't just work. It's a requirement to Learning.

Most learning happens only through repeatition/practice. Get them comfortable with repeatition as early as possible and they will be fine.
It's as if presence of sufficiently many guns (or maybe rather ammo) in society enables mass shootings.
I'm not advocating for or against the use of the word. I just don't understand the argument that it isn't a real word.
Does it have any interesting "nonlinear" effects where it can show an entirely different face (the wrong face) based on misidentification or even adversary input?

These kinds of failure modes for "AI" are the most interesting to me.

It seems extremely smart - but don’t you think that to have success in a mass market product - think like MS Teams - it would need to be a combined solution. Where it both can do this for faces, efficiently, but also continues to work in a predictable way if I want to show an item/page from a book/my cat/my kid to other people in the call?

AutoHDR and HDR in general definitely works much better than Windows 10.
I wouldn’t call it notorious. I have almost never heard of non-merchants being fucked over by them. And for customers, they are the opposite, super easy to deal with because, like Amazon, they decide in favor of the customer when in doubt.
Yes, as I quoted the term from the commenter and the OP. Ternaries are not unnatural, but thinking that they would be any different to normal if-statements is a very unnatural thought to me.

This is just a phenomenal idea - I hope your patent is approved too!
If you have ALUs to spare, you can generate multiple points in parallel, say 4, and it is likely that at least one is inside the disk and you can select it branchlessly. Then you only need to loop in the very very rare case.
It might be better to expose said instructions as special functions, like how SIMD instructions are exposed. Or write part of the code in assembly - choosing cmov over branch is already architecture dependent.

Amazing how reaching 18 years of age suddenly makes you immune to social media addiction. Or something.

Why not? You are upstairs when an intruder with a statistical 30-40% chance of being armed on an unknown mission that is hopefully just robbing you with a 7% chance of causing your family harm. Police are 10-30 minutes away. Most people don't sleep in the same room as the entirety of their family so if you hunker down and hope they go away you are leaving for example your kids exposed and hoping the intruder doesn't hurt them. If you startle them they could open fire sending a stray bullet into your kids room or they could wander into your bedroom in search of more loot and end up in either a struggle or a hostage situation.

Worse than all of the above they will do it again and again with few opportunities to get busted because statistically few of these crimes actually solved.

Your families safety is the only thing that matters here. If playing Rambo will increase the risk to your family you shouldn't do it. If shooting the intruder will increase the safety of your family by even the smallest fraction of a percent at the cost of certainly killing a burglar you should absolutely do so.

Lets say the harsh truth. The only people prowling around invading other people's homes are awful people of negative value to humanity. From a purely utilitarian perspective you shooting them today would just mean that they stop hurting actual people of worth tomorrow.

For your own moral health you shouldn't hurt them if it is possible to avoid it and preserve your other goals but there is no situation in which you ought to prize any number of burglars over even 1% chance of your family members getting hurt.

Your outrage isn't moral its a plea for greater harm in service of a dysfunctional moral code where your children are less important than the meth addict who is terrorizing your neighborhood.
Or just tax bullets and gunpowder so they cost $10k per shot.

Uh, because it is just syntax sugar for an if-statement. And those are typically implemented using branches. There may be possible optimizations to make them branchfree in certain cases, but it is certainly not something I'd assume would be the default.
If it's such a widespread problem that there is a process to exclude domains from the cache refresh, doesn't that point to it being an issue that should be fixed by the party responsible instead of everybody else separately?
I believe there was a quote about how it takes the ultimate courage to let your kids become themselves.
Unfortunately most of that doesn't really matter for any non-trivial project, because you'll almost unavoidably need a module for something. A lot of the time you'll find out that it's bit rotted 5 years ago, and the bug tracker has a 7 year old issue nobody seems to have read.

It's even worse for anything that interacts with libraries or APIs -- those change over time, and often nobody does the work to repair compatibility.

So I think at this point it's fair to say it's dead. Even if the core language is technically functional, the ecosystem is rotting.
Thanks!

Wrt upping the frame rate the main problem is that the phone may run a bit hot, newer iPhones/iPads should be able to handle it just fine, but the older ones based on, say, the A10, might have trouble keeping up, especially with multiple remote parties connected.

* The framing depends on a transformation derived from the face landmarks, and the amount of padding is somewhat flexible. Distance from the camera seems to impact this, so it could be that my landmarks model needs some tweaking to work better when you are sitting very close to the camera.

* This is closer to being a general video codec than a face-generating GAN, so there is not a lot of "cheating" in that respect. It is optimized for transmission of faces, but other images will pass through if you let them (which I currently don't).

* I built the AI engine and the face recognizer etc from scratch, though with the help of a former co-founder who was originally the one training our models (in pytorch). The vertigo.ai home page has some demo videos. We initially targeted raspberry-pi style devices, NVIDIA Jetsons, etc., but have since ported to IOS and MacOS. Our initial customers were startups, mostly in the US, and a large Danish university that uses us for auditorium head counting.

* It empirically does seem to work on diverse faces, both in real life and when testing on for example the "coded bias" trailer. Ideally I would like to test more systematically on something like Facebook/Meta's "casual conversations" dataset.

Be that as it may, children have a higher degree of neuroplasticity than adults. You would have probably learned even faster as a child.
It's not that it's ripping off the ideas, it's that that's what it's supposed to be doing. I watched the entire first season waiting for the bit when it got good, nothing happened.

If you want to take reference to old films and do something original with them, like Everything Everywhere All At Once, great.
