this is not entirely true and i’ve seen the exact same comment regurgitated with the same exact numbers for the past two years. I am not in really in favor of section 174 but i’m tired of seeing misinfo. I have discussed this with a CPA multiple times and its simplified and blown out of proportion in a way that you can’t actually have a conversation about it
I think what people need to keep in mind is that AR is not just going to be a Moores Law type thing. AR has to not only improve with regards to size, but also find ways to deal with etendue while reducing that size, and dealing with thermal issues. It’s easy to assume AR just needs a few more years because everything else in tech has been like that, but the improvements in the space that are likely needed for people to feel comfortable publicly using AR might take a lot longer than what is usual.
Nicotine does stimulate the prefrontal cortex like adderall so self-medicating can play a role, but a lot of people with ADHD don’t get addicted to their medication. From what i’ve experienced, its the behavior that’s hard to quit. Not saying you’re wrong, just that I think the higher number of smokers is more due to the fact that quitting is harder because of the action of smoking, not because it acts similar to medication in some ways.
Smoking is twice as common in people with ADHD. ADHD specifically affects impulse control which means you’re much more likely to get addicted because bad habits are harder to stop doing.
initstate is an override of statefulwidget, its no different than any other frameworks lifecycle events and its a flutter thing, so its not really something you would confuse with a constructor or something. I can understand not knowing if you should create a normal constructor or a factory i guess, but getting confused about initstate is not a reason go is superior.
Its not plain and simple. As someone who has talked to people who actually do it, it’s much more common to be art-related and marking that someone exists than anything gang related. Maybe it used to be a certain way but it certainly isn’t strongly correlated now.
How does this possibly correlate to people tagging? Minor non-destructive property crime on the paint of a building is not the same as violent crime, and also the LA crime rate has been shrinking for years. Every college has campus safety guidelines as well that tend to say things like that
As someone who knows a lot of people who tag, they add significantly more to the character of a city while being more of a supportive community than most groups of artists, I would rather have that in my city then some random “fake deep“ piece that gets a pass because it’s more marketable.
This is such a nothing argument. Yes, new artists are inspired by other artists and sometimes make art similar to others, but a huge part of learning and doing art is to find a unique style.
But that’s not even the important part of the argument. A lot of artists work for commission, and are hired for their style. If an AI can be trained without explicit permission from their images, they lose work because a user can just prompt “in the style of”.
There’s no real great solution, outside of law, because the possibility of doing that is already here. But I’ve seen this argument so much and it’s just low effort
If you’re talking about North American political leaders, they really can’t. LKY had a lot more power than anyone can have in most countries political systems. If you’re talking about political leaders in growing countries, a lot do take inspiration from him. Singapore had a lot of qualities to benefit from at the time that other countries don’t, though.
Where is any evidence to back this? How can you compare a VC funded tech job pay to a normal trade pay? Software pays a lot because its a good business. There is no physical product cost so labor can be higher, and margins are higher. Comparing the EU and US start up cultures and implying its somehow due to labor protections is disingenuous.
They have more competition than ever with youtube streaming actually somewhat catching on and tiktok streams becoming more popular. It seems weird to cut so many engineers when it’s probably most important now to innovate. Its not even just R&D that’s important, either. Their product is worse in some aspects than their competitors and a lot of the reason why they’re still dominant in their space is just the community of users on the website.
Absolutely, I have been on and off medication my whole life due to moving or forgetfulness of making appointments or whatever else, but medication for it has very obviously changed my life. One thing that is very important is to find the specific medication that works for you, some people don't like stimulants and wellbutrin works for them, some people do well on Ritalin while I personally hate it. It took me trying probably 6 or 7 medications until I found something that worked for me with no crashes or obvious downsides.
If you know you have ADHD and don't address it with medication, I think you're just making life harder than it needs to be. The medication has been around long enough that its known to be safe and effective, and while you very much can get very far managing ADHD without medications, its so much easier with.
You’re correct in that, i could have picked different wording. it can be used to create radiance fields, but in a way that is completely different than NeRFs.
There’s no real replacement plan for the coal mining jobs in the rust belt, so some people are somewhat justifiably against it there. Obviously we should move away from coal, but if that’s not addressed, a poor area is just going to get poorer. There should really be a plan to build alternative energy factories and train people in those areas
I've used blazor on a couple larger projects, mostly wasm blazor, and have used components in hacky ways on occasion (reflection, interpolation, etc). Some of these components are pretty large and I have never once had a crash from those projects in any IDE, be it VS2022, Rider, or the trash that is VS for Mac. Not downplaying your experience, just saying blazor projects have been very solid to work with on my end.
I think the neuroscientists who question why a first-person-perspective happens in the brain generally assume it comes about from the physical formation of electromagnetic fields. Most don’t believe there’s some unexplored part of the universe that forms it, just that its something to do with the structure. So its still physics, just not pseudoscience.
I am certainly not well versed on the field though and have only read a paper on the topic, and it could have been bad science, but I did find it informative when I read it.
Poppy Hill is very good and comparable with Wind Rises. Just because Earthsea was bad, people view him as someone who is not up to the task. It’s for sure fair to say he’s not a good writer like his father, but he has the ability to make great films.
Blender has been around for 29 years, to be fair it’s only been open source for 21, but still it took an extremely long time to get to a point that was comparable to other tools. It’s still definitely not as used as Maya. I do genuinely feel Godot can be adopted widely because it’s better than any other open source game engine that has been around, but blender took an absurdly long time to be competitive.
Activists have said for years (decades even) that more training does not work. There is very little evidence that training in the way that some politicians have called for affects policing at all. Cop City training in particular is not even that, its not for bias training or anything, it’s very much more akin to military training.
Activists goals have always been for redirecting some police funding to education, community outreach, different divisions for different problems, etc. There are some that push for abolition but the overall goal of those who actually have been doing it for years has been to address the underlying problems and not to throw more money at an armed force with immunity.
Blueprints are extremely useful in prototyping at the very least, not just in the initial stages of development but for adding new systems. There is nothing wrong with them and the idea that LLM’s are going to replace blueprints is ridiculous. Sure, you will be able to have them write a block of collision code, but gamedev is one of the most complicated fields in terms of having an understanding of what your state is and what references what.
LLM’s can spit out code without understanding the problem, but understanding the problem is 99% of gamedev
