You will be missed, old friend.

Art is also about discovering when to break the rules.

Pretty amazing to think that our position at the top of the food chain is as tenuous as a change in diet. I hope no one ever starts cooking for dolphins.

Oh right, thanks for the explanation.

If the price of the stock would increase tomorrow by 20%, why wouldn't he be able to buy more than a tiny amount today?

Pretty firmly planted inside the uncanny valley. I think it'll be a while until it's truly convincing, but it should be interesting to follow.

No, I was just referring to how someone can be granted a durable power of attorney, in which case they have license to remove the grantor from life support. Anyway, I support everything you said, and just to be clear, I'm no fan of arbitration; I was mostly playing devil's advocate.

I tend to agree, but where does a 'do not resuscitate' order or a power of attorney fit into that?

I think the irony being implied is that normally when you're shooting video and your camera is jittering, you're effectively losing resolution compared to a static camera because of motion blur, whereas this depth mapping benefits from minute movements. Though looking at individual frames of video is different than combining them into a single sharper image, I get the counterintuitive feeling they were driving at.

Could be you're a more visual thinker?

Interesting, when you think about something you don't ever hear yourself talking it out inside your head?

There's already a proposal for field declarations, where you can do the following:

  class Foo {
    bar = () => {
      console.log(this);
    }
  }

This basically puts `this.bar = () => console.log(this)` in the constructor, and since it's an arrow function it captures the correct context.

See https://github.com/tc39/proposal-class-fields.

Wow you're right... very very strange. I really want to know what's going on behind the scenes.

I thought I was crazy for a second... I clicked on the link that scrolls into view when you visit the linked page, and it brought me to an article with the same name and roughly the same content: https://www.startupon.net/2017/11/18/the-atoms-of-programmin...

I thought that was the article people were discussing and couldn't figure out why no one else was mentioning having trouble following the flow of the language:

  But the utility, the summary configurations of suggestions that speed on these programs,
  exist in fully separate condo and are merely (though the undeniable truth that here’s
  that that you can maybe be additionally bear in mind is immensely worthy) translated
  into the digital or paper medium.

I guess it's a previous version which hadn't gone through proofreading? Pretty confused here.

  Yes, technically you could plausibly run it wired until 
  its charged enough but now there's the extra 
  inconvenience of managing a cable.

You have to manage the same cable when charging it from underneath, only now it's unusable until it's done charging...

I can see defending it on aesthetic grounds, and maybe even from a condescending place of not wanting the user to feel what it's like to use it tethered (I like Apple but they do this "we know what you want better than you" dance a little too much). But the point I quoted is pretty silly.

Just a simple typo. The keys are pretty close together if your finger slips, and I imagine they have enough problems distracting them from proper spellchecking at the moment. :-)

The experiments I've read about don't use any additional anaesthetic. They just give people a low but still noticeable dose intravenously. Some people reported mild and transient unpleasantness during the treatment due to the drug's effects.

I'm not sure about this analogy. You can argue that the apparent motion of the wave crests is an illusion being pieced together by our brains when we see the totality of the elliptical movements of water particles at the surface.

But at the moment when you drop a pebble into a pond, there are definitely parts of the surface which are moving and parts which are not, and the influence of the energy you introduced with the pebble can clearly be seen to spread outward over time.

Granted this doesn't map directly onto electromagnetic waves because the mechanisms involved in wave propagation are different.

The speed of light is sometimes referred to as the speed of causality, and it seems like it's more of a fundamental speed limit on the propagation of events or information through space.

I hate that you made me notice that and I'll never be able to unsee it! :-)

A slash or a dot in the middle would be nice.

"Anti-Mac interface" doesn't seem to be pejorative in this context.

> Huggies tried to make a similar sensor to detect when the diaper is full of shit, but it proved impossible to distinguish from normal activity on Twitter.

See this is why we need groundbreaking advancements in deep learning and we need them now.

Ah makes sense. Thanks for the info, will look into this.

Interesting. Thanks, you've given me a few things to read up on.

How bad is debugging logic running purely on hardware nowadays? Is there anything more user-friendly than tapping specific lines and watching the output on an oscilloscope?

Ditto, that silly political wordplay always drives me nuts.

Also true. :-)

Wouldn't surprise me, the guy was a legend.

That's a good idea. Just bypass it internally and let the switch move freely, doing nothing. They'll learn to leave it alone pretty quickly.
