Does anyone truly understand all the little edge cases with CSS?

I've write tons and tons of CSS, have done for a decade. I don't sit and think about the exact interactions, I just know a couple things that might work if I'm getting something unexpected.

I don't really see it possible to commit that to memory, unless I literally start working on an interpreter myself.

I suppose if your lens is actually a vertical stack of lenses, each with hundreds of inputs and outputs, then why wouldn't this work? Although I cannot fathom fabricating it. Maybe start by finding the absolute simplest/smallest image classifier you can

EDIT: Of course people are already doing this. D2NN seems to be the keyword, Diffractive Deep Neural Networks

Damn, there goes my idea. The other day I wondered how far you could go by embedding classical and neural filters in plastic sheets, to make a "magic lens" that does some img2img transformation in real time. E.g. pixelizing should be relatively simple, but I wonder if you could go as far as transforming a small image classifier (say, "cat" vs. "hot dog") into a physical object, to create a passive "lens" that turns incoming light into words ("cat", "hot dog", "N/A")? Feels like it should be doable.

Anyway, thanks for the link; I'll study the paper and look up at the references.

Arrow Flight is a very neat project! How do you not end up with race conditions? Or data overwriting each other? Now that you have multiple writers. I think typically this is solved with WAL files. So maybe it's something internal to the Flight server?

The one service that is not dead yet. But is smelling funny is CodePipeline. It is so bad and they’ve already discontinued CodeCommit (the very bad hosted git service), Cloud9 (hosted IDE that is based on VSCode even though they would never admit it externally) and CodeStar.

Man that's 100% on the indie dev. Most people don't buy indie games for cutting-edge graphics. You start pushing the envelope, you get what you get.
koromak · 7 months ago
Most indie devs don't have time and money to optimize. They will make the game primarily for the biggest audience, and then make it somewhat playable for everyone else.

The closer Switch is to the Steam Deck, the more likely both will be targeted.

cloud gaming is good if you live close to the servers and don't care about graphics, but playing with +60-100ms for every action feels very bad. It almost feels like playing on 15-20 fps PC and quality of streaming video is always a problem compared to native quality maybe AV1 will fix it.

Yeah my experience has been thats its basically unplayable. I'm the kind of person who refunds when a game is <60fps though.

Happy to see that Nintendo is treating the switch more like how they traditionally handled their mobile platforms instead of their consoles.

Iterating instead of throwing out everything with each new version. There is a part of me that is going to miss the, do weird shit and see what works, Nintendo that brought us some really fun ideas. But a stable Nintendo just being able to continue putting out great games has its advantages.

I am curious about the specs, but honestly don't care much. The only real issue the Switch had was being able to keep up with some of the games put on it with FPS but it still had beautiful games (like Tears of the Kingdom). So as long as it is actually a decent spec bump I am happy and have zero care to compare it to the other consoles (but I am sure people are going too and scream that it is "underpowered").

The biggest thing I am curious about, will it be OLED since that will be disappointing to go back to non OLED from the OLED Switch. And Price.

I just hope its powerful enough that Indies can target it along with the Steam Deck, rather than just hope an pray like they did for Switch 1's late lifecycle. The amount of <30fps indie titles on there was sad.

I get sleep paralysis (less so these days) and I absolutely get the instant REM thing. I'm dreaming before I'm asleep every single night, and I'm often dreaming for 5-10 minutes after I wake up. Its just a stream of audiovisual nonsense that doesn't shut off until I'm properly awake. Always figured it was normal.

And then imagine how each separate converstation can affect another. What a tangled mess this would be to work on.
