Speaking of analog: Light Guns don’t work on modern televisions due to the high latency relative to CRT screens (which had essentially zero latency).

I had it running on Windows (no container) a while back. Wasn’t particularly difficult at that time, at least.

Can’t give any advice here though, since all we’ve been given to work with is an OS.

Where?

Those are two very fair points - I agree.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

For an API there should always be a version parameter/endpoint, imho.

Edit for further context: Ideally, a parameter.

You’re in luck! The book I’ve generally heard recommended to beginners for Python is available for free online!

The biggest reason for me is that it’s less data to send over a network. Especially when I’m working with lists of objects, including null fields can add a noticeable chunk to the payload.

There are some cases where it might be worth it to differentiate “No value” and “No attribute”, but in most cases they can be treated the same, since the data should really be validated against a schema anyway.

Yeah, I’m also confused. If an attribute is null, I would prefer to simply not serialize it.

I’m sure there are edge cases where someone might prefer to include null attributes, but generally they should be treated the same either way.

I say we ditch this nonsense altogether and go back to vague descriptions of the Sun’s position in the sky.

Give it to someone that needs it.

When I quit at McDonalds to start a career in welding, the owner of the store happened to be visiting. He took me aside and told me “You know, those guys at… (Sorry, what was that place called again? Right…) You know, I’ve heard the people there aren’t as nice as we are here. Are you sure you want to leave?”

I’ve never wanted to punch an old man so much in my life. In that moment, he was the personification of class warfare to me, trying to “trick” me into throwing away my future just so he could have more cheap labour. And the fact it was so blatantly obvious added insult to, well… insult.

Anyway, it’s not the same, but the “wallpapers” thing definitely gives me the same vibes, lol.

Then you pass out and dream the solution lol.

A mix of both, but keep in mind that I’m commenting on a post about a related made up sci-fi idea.

Well, yes, but something like an etched glass would be better in basically every way, if it could be done. (See my other comment in this thread if you want more details)

A neural network is an array of layered nodes, where each node contains some kind of activation function, and each connection represents some weight multiplier. Importantly, once the model is trained, it’s stateless, meaning we don’t need to store any extra data to use it - just inputs and outputs.

If we could take some sort of material, like a glass, and modify it so that if you shone a light through one end, the light would bounce in such a way as to emulate these functions and weights, you could create an extremely cheap, compact, fast, and power efficient neural network. In theory, at least.

Haha naw, it’s the same basic idea, just using something inorganic (like glass) to represent a neural network instead of something like biological neurons.

Honestly I’ve wondered this about shining a laser through some kind of laser-etched glass. Only problem is, I have no idea how to represent something like an activation function using only reflection and such.

My wife and I spent a few days really digging into Primer, and I feel like we understand like… 85% of it, which is pretty good imo. Love that movie.
