  1. No, this supports only a highly regular subset of Japanese grammar. There are plenty of irregular phrases it doesn't cover, as in most languages.
  2. > What do you know of this evidence and how do you know about it?

    It's called "discovery" for a reason. You ask for everything you think might be relevant.

  3. It is possible to simultaneously be a victim of the system and for other people to be worse off victims of the system.

    All workers can and should unite to protect themselves from the capitalist class. Tech professionals should not feel guilty merely because they are less oppressed than the other workers.

  4. You know, some humans use the correct dash too...
  5. Thanks! The screening platform is already usable for many use cases, and for the use cases it doesn't cover we'll most likely work with companies individually to build exactly the solutions they need.
  6. It's faster because there are only a constant number of other faces in a given cell to check to find where the ray exits. Then you can just traverse from cell to cell in this way, without using hierarchical bounding box checks like you normally would.
  7. Crazy they missed _A New Kind of Science_.
  8. No, the original title is correct, small caps are just an alternate way of setting lowercase letters.
  9. Surely you realize that this is not at all the typical experience for independent writers, though.
  10. Just because there is no information transfer does not mean there is no action, it just means that this action does not break causality.
  11. Whether there is any kind of action on the entangled counterpart is not actually answered by quantum mechanics, and depends on the interpretation. For example, in the Copenhagen interpretation there is an action (measuring one half of the pair causes the others waveform to instantly collapse), but in the Many Worlds interpretation there is no causal action, because observation is just a new entanglement between the observer and the entangled pair system.
  12. While something like this could be an interesting idea for a sci-fi novel, this is not at all how quantum entanglement works. Entanglement doesn't make one particle "[adopt] the dilated time/gravity of its remote counterpart", it just refers to a perfect correlation of certain measurements of the two particles. For example, if you produce two particles that you know have zero total momentum, but don't measure the momenta of either individual particle, these particles are now entangled, because measuring the momentum of one particle to be p immediately tells you that the other particle's momentum is -p, regardless of distance. Time does not actually come into play at all here.
  13. > Remember that great feature of Rust being memory safe? It comes at the cost of not being able to easily “inject” something that implements a trait.

    This is not at all the reason. The real reason is that Rust chooses to make the runtime overhead required for dynamic typing and heap allocation explicit, not anything to do with memory safety.

  14. I suspect this proof could be greatly simplified by the use of tag systems (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_system) rather than cellular automata.
  15. GLSL is the language.
  16. I find it ironic that this is being described as some better form of capitalism when in fact having the workers own the capital is quite literally the _definition_ of socialism.
  17. I find it incredibly ironic that this article is describing this system as a positive form of capitalism when in fact having workers own the capital is the _definition_ of socialism.
  18. > Infohazard warning about which I am being absolutely serious

    Small nit: since this song isn't a fact or idea per se, it would probably be more accurate to call this a cognitohazard.

  19. Even better, this style of RNG cracking has even been done in-game:

  20. But the direction is not at all binary, it's a direction in a very high-dimensional weight space.
  21. Just typeset a webnovel for print so I could read it physically using Pandoc, CSS, and Prince and honestly the experience was really nice. Way better than any other option I'm aware of.
  22. Please don't write it Aibó, though. The proper romanization is Aibō or Aibou. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn_romanization#Long_vo...
  23. Admittedly, I only have one long-running Raspberry Pi, but it's currently sitting at a few months uptime. And that was an intentional reboot. I've never had to take any measures like these in the four or so years I've had it up.
  24. As a long time Niagara user, it is probably the biggest thing that keeps me on Android over iOS.
  25. How is this dystopian? Plastic is a really great material -- and way more eco-friendly than metal for building computers. It's only mass-produced single-use plastics like water bottles that are bad for the environment.
  26. AI is definitely a big buzzword right now, but in this particular case inertial navigation has a pretty big limitation: cost. Cheaper sensors with better software would be a legitimately compelling alternative to traditional solutions.
  27. Honestly even if you don't use Vim it's worth doing. I'm a big fan of interception-tools' caps2esc on Linux.
