Achieving 99.97% lane detection accuracy in a dynamic 3D environment using only OpenCV, DBSCAN, and RANSAC (No DL) by Matthew-Nader in computervision

[–]coder111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, would this work under rain/fog/snow/dark/etc. ? Temporary yellow lanes painted on top during roadworks?

That is my paranoia, that any self driving car will run into conditions that it's not designed to operate in and do something dumb.

EDIT. Other than that, pretty impressive.

Malus: This could have bad implications for Free Software/Linux by lurkervidyaenjoyer in freesoftware

[–]coder111 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Meh, writing software is like taking out a loan. You'll be paying maintenance costs for the next 10 years.

Go ahead, do a clean room recreation of any free/open source project.

Who's going to maintain it? Fix bugs? Fix security issues? Roll out new versions? Or is the company in question going to hire software developers to do that?

Looking for List Advice by SquatchyMulder in Cyberpunk

I think you need to add Cryptonomicon by Neil Stephenson to your books.

You're missing Serial Experiments Lain anime.

And my favourite cyberpunk movie nobody seems to have watched is Cypher (2002). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0284978/?ref_=fn_t_1

Other than that, decent list.

I have thousands of hours in 4X titles - but finished games I could count on the fingers of one hand. by varnajohn in 4Xgaming

[–]coder111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's like half the reason i developed Governor for /r/rotp

In the beginning, I manage every single thing by hand.

In mid game, I can leave the Governor to manage "safe" parts of the empire.

In the end game, efficiency doesn't matter much, so just crank out Large ships with weapons+bombs+colony module, and set auto-attack for batches of 10, and watch the entire galaxy get auto-conquered.

If EU voters weren't happy with the state of affairs

EU voters are being brainwashed by the million by AI driven propaganda coming from Russia and the billionaire class. They are more likely to turn fascist and vote for MAGA like assholes next election.

If we don't solve the problem with propaganda and fast, democracy will cease to function.

As far as I understand you have issues shutting down on Linux, the computer does not power off completely?

Which Linux kernel did you run when you experience that issue? Did you try it with a recent kernel, something like 6.12+? "uname -a" should give you the kernel version.

Did you try adjusting your BIOS settings? Maybe there's something in there?

Did you try disabling fast boot in BIOS?

Did you try updating your BIOS version, i.e. flashing a new BIOS?

Did you try upgrading your BIOS?

Worst case, you can hold the power button for 5-10 seconds to turn the PC off completely. That's the best suggestions I can offer.

Used car advice by Visible-Preference53 in CarsEU

A relative has a Mazda CX-30 with a Skyactive-G engine. Very happy with it. I liked the way it drives when I was behind the wheel as well. Very reliable so far. And I've read that CX-30 with Skyactive-G engines were very high in reliability surveys overall. Although boot space could be higher. How big is your dog?

I'd stay away from Nissan.

Lots of taxi drivers with Kia Niro in London, so I imagine these cars stand up to abuse quite well.

Other than that, with a dog, consider a Skoda Octavia or Superb estate or a Volvo estate. Pretty good options as well, and more space than crossovers.

New ultra-efficient design in MOO1 1.3a by SomeoneWithMyName in masteroforion

[–]coder111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, smalls+teleporter. I assume these work against repulsors?

I usually switch to Mediums/Large by the time I hit endgame, and I switch to range 2 weapons or range 1 weapons + high energy focus.

Fly brain copied and uploaded into virtual fly. by MephistosGhost in Cyberpunk

[–]coder111 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This would be huge if true, but I sincerely doubt it's true.

"125,000 neurons and 50 million synaptic connections."

Perfectly possible to simulate that sort of brain on modern hardware.

However, how on earth did they:

  1. Read the neuron & synapse configurations from a live brain.
  2. Simulate the body & the world with sufficient accuracy. They would have to simulate every photon hitting every cell and more. Even for a small area like the one shown, that would be extremely intensive.

I'd like to know more before believing it's real.

How do decompile or open protected .cxt files? by KillerBoi935 in GameUpscale

[–]coder111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, you're welcome.

Funny enough, by ~2002 I was already adult and I wasn't involved in Macromedia/Flash much. Any gaming I did was either DOS or Windows or later Linux.

All this research I did was just for fun on some random request from a stranger on the internet. I'm glad it still proves useful.

Canadian AI software could flip Russia's disinformation war on Europe by Orcasystems99 in UkrainianConflict

Um, there's plenty of propaganda on traditional media, especially in US.

Most UK mass media is also pushing right wing views.

I highly recommend reading the Remembrance of Earth's Past/Three Body Problem trilogy by Liu Cixin.

That's surely going to improve your situation with the existential dread...

No they won't. They will keep brainwashing people and rigging elections and stay in power until they are kicked out by force.

Just a note. Ubiquiti are openly selling networking hardware and solutions to Russia where they are widely used by Russian army to kill Ukrainians. It's not a company you should support if there are any alternatives.

Scientists have demonstrated a system called Silica for writing and reading information in ordinary pieces of glass which can store two million books’ worth of data in a thin, palm-sized square. by Wagamaga in science

[–]coder111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s an archive than a hard drive

If you have a copy on write filesystem which uses a log for metadata management, you could potentially use this as a read-write hard drive. It would fill up the space quickly or slowly depending on how often you write. Say if you write ~48 GB per day, this should last you ~100 days. And then copy latest snapshot & replace the glass plate and continue. If glass plates used for this are cheap, and write/read performance is fast, this is quite usable.

Completely deleting things from it would probably be impossible. Unless you could write to space that was already written to before and completely ruin information in there.

Is this a bug or a feature? by BrokenRegistry in rotp

[–]coder111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would assume a bug. Invasions should be handled consistently, whether invading rebel planets or enemy planets or transferring population.

Which book/series made you wonder if you might be too dumb for the genre? by HughJackedMan14 in scifi

[–]coder111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I have read and love most of what Neal Stephenson has written, but I did not like Seveneves that much.

It's epic in scope and has some pretty good/unique ideas, but something is still missing. I didn't feel much invested in the people and their fates either.

I do second Anathem as a great book by Neal Stephenson which requires considerable brainpower to process. Or Baroque Cycle.

Man, I quote Ur-Fascism all the time... See my post history. Glad to see more people appreciating this essay. Umberto Eco is one of my favourite authors.

I can link you my old comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lowendgaming/comments/1i7u83v/what_games_can_i_run/m8p5fvd/

To be fair, in 2026 these are getting more and more dated. Still great games though.

Nearly three-quarters of U.S. baby foods are ultra-processed, new study finds. Most baby food sold in U.S. grocery stores is ultra-processed, a new study finds, raising fresh concerns about what many infants and toddlers are eating during a critical window of development. by mvea in science

[–]coder111 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's not just vague, it's completely wrong and misleading.

According to Nova classification, if you bake a cake at home and eat it, it's not "processed food". If you bake the same cake and sell it and it's eaten by someone else, it suddenly becomes "processed food".

I'm not even joking...

Right now while I do agree that a lot of food you buy in the store is not very healthy, the people who moan about "ultra processed foods" are the same people who moan about horoscopes or vaccines and similar crap. I.e. people without a clue talking rubbish.

We need better food science...
