I see, makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.

Too expensive. Most bus stations are basically just a sign, sometimes you also get an ad poster and a shelter. Bringing kiosks would imply setting up electricity and internet. When you could instead just make a phone app.

Why call them blind then? The definition of blind says 1/10 or less of normal vision. There’s no way you can read text on a phone or computer with that.

I always assumed blind people just used TTS and voice reading.

There’s supposed to be specfic icons the manufacturers can print next to the port. It’s not perfect, but at least it’s easy to know at a glance eg. whether it can double as a displayport or not and whether it can double as an input charging port or not.

Technically Babylon and Egypt first had what could be described as a concept of zero, while India invented the modern mathematical zero.

Doesn’t observing at the quantum level require measurments? As in you can’t see without interacting with it, thus changing its behavior?

Right but whether they’re correct or not doesn’t depend on the name you use. Every programmer worth his name knows arrays start at offset zero even if you don’t call it that.

Why? I’ve worked as an embedded dev for a few years and nobody in my team cared what it was called.

That doesn’t really address what you call it. Names only really just exist to get your point across. Inexperienced devs may not know what an offset means (or why we use that), so index does the job. An experience dev knows how it works anyway, so whether you say index or offset won’t matter. By virtue of the common denominator, I simply use index everywhere.

Says who?

By definition, an index is

a number or symbol or expression (such as an exponent) associated with another to indicate a mathematical operation to be performed or to indicate use or position in an arrangement

Since the arrays offsets alao tell us about the items’s position in the array, is it not then an index?

People take these terms way too seriously. Hell, many languages have their “list” implemented as an array. What then do you call the index/offset?

Worth noting that it’s also usually a good idea to rotate them every couple years if you only have one, otherwise it messes up their genetic and the chicks end up inbred like Charles II.

Comment I replied to originally was blaming all religious people.

Then blame religion, or its leaders, not the poor fools who didn’t know any better.

That’s very different. Bullets are made for killing, it’s their sole purpose.

There are tons of good religious people. Look throughout history and everyone was religious to a certain extent, so are most old people today (depending on where you live ofc, but in rural Quebec I don’t know anyone above 65 that’s not religious). Are you saying all these people are evil, instead of, say, the Pope who called the crusades?

Lemmy users are so one-dimensional.

Those “out of control” people are using religion because it’s a powerful tool. They are not “cultists”, odds are they don’t even believe in it. Blame the killer, not the knife.

It’s missing features obviously (think neuroplasticity) but is that how AI differs from human intelligence, or simply a lack in the current generation?

1000 people is nothing, I wouldn’t put much faith in that. But yes, the numbers are close to what I’d guess.

Is a human much different? We too require tons of training and we too are prone to stupid mistakes.

The only way a dota player would be smarter than a lol one would be if:

• The game actively reinforces or weakens IQ, an argument I think we both agree is stupid.
• Smarter people choose dota and dumber people choose lol. A point that sounds plausible on the surface until you realize that nobody “chooses” a multiplayer game like that. They choose a game for it’s asthethics, whether you have friends that play it, its popularity, etc… Not because one has trees and the other doesn’t.

Like the average IQ of chess players is higher than that of your average checkers player.

Stupid argument, there is no concrete proof of that. They are very different types of games with very different goals and a different target audience. That would be like comparing CS vs Dota. Lol-Dota have very few meaningful core differences.

In a competitive game, the energy you don’t put thinking about where your courrier is, you put elsewhere, it does not go unused. The learning curve isn’t important when everyone puts in thousands of hours anyway. It takes you a week max to learn the basics of both games anyway, what does it matter if dota requires an extra day?

And you should really wonder if you want to be defending it in this thread of all places.

I agree. Lemmy users tend to be offended by just about everything, even a post game “ggez”.
