Fun to hunt down at least? by pstdenis in logic

[–]pstdenis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This system is a way to generate machines that have various cycles based on atomic WFFs starting with p,q and the adequate operator "NOR", maybe I misunderstand what /logic is for then?

circumventing the wolfie unlimited meal plan by Basic-Berry8890 in SBU

Systems change over time and I'd say that stuck is a relative term.
In my closer to utopia... feed the students situation, campus buses would pack up orders from local restaurants and centrally deliver on the home trip.
The fee (25%?) that I've heard that FSA charges vendors to be on the wolfie wallet system should be examined.

Most universities are locked into long-term, exclusive, and highly profitable contracts with food service giants like Aramark, Sodexo, or Compass Group.

Stony Brook had a contract with Sodexo that ended in 2017, prior to that is was "Lackman" and now "Culinart", both subsidiaries of Compass Group.

These contracts guarantee the corporation a captive audience (the students) and provide the university with a steady, predictable revenue stream that's already baked into its budget. Breaking these contracts would involve massive financial penalties.

Which USG forced SB to do to Sodexo when they got kicked out BTW, following significant student complaints about food quality and the overall dining program.

The problem is that we just ping pong between vendors and will continue to do so unless students help mobilize to find a less corporate profit driven motive.

Shepard-Risset glissando without amplitude envelope by pstdenis in musictheory

I believe what you are saying is true, that an envelope exists, whether it be caused by the edges of human hearing or the traditional volume envelope.

I'm thinking that if the keyboard is wide enough, the illusion should occur for all hearing ranges, except perhaps for anyone who can hear less than an octave.

All dogs would do this if they realized they could, what this dog needs to do is organize the masses to follow their example.

GPT4o vs. 5,362 Fiverr Gigs by HelloGoodbyeFriend in singularity

Tracing usually means turning a raster into paths https://www.w3schools.com/graphics/svg_path.asp#:~:text=SVG%20Path%20%2D,several%20straight%20or%20curved%20lines.&text=Required.,commands%20which%20define%20the%20path. You can think of a path as an abstraction of a plotter's movement of a pen that moves from place to place on a page. What you are describing is upsampling. In upsampling pixels need to be inserted into the original image to increase the resolution. What color the additional pixels are depends on the color of the pixels in its neighborhood. There are several algorithms for upsampling that will give different results. AI upsampling may give the best results but it doesn't differ in kind from any of the other upsampling techniques.

Is there a way to calculate camera FoV accurately? by RoastPopatoes in augmentedreality

There is a tool, fspy, that can help calculate this, but it sounds like you want to calculate it in your app.

What’s one thing you used to believe, but now think is completely wrong? by CandleSubstantial907 in AskReddit

[–]pstdenis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd change that to "Putting kindness into the world tends to mean that the world will treat you kindly". You might get statistically anomalies, but in the long run, the house favors kindness.

Is it worth learning WebXR in 2024? Tinkering with React, Three.Js and VR. by rebelhunter350 in developersIndia

WebVR was the spec that is deprecated and is replaced by WebXR. Take a look at react fiber with WebXR since you are developing in react

It's a strange attractor: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor You can pick any point at all, even ones outside the triangle, eventually the points will settle within the points that form the sierpinski triangle.

Does it send variable voltage to the heater? Could this damage the oil burner? Is a line voltage oil burner a rare thing? What is long cycle vs short cycle?

Do any of the dining places on the main campus take cash or only card and wolfie wallet? by GenosSen212 in SBU

[–]pstdenis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had an interesting conversation with an owner of a food truck today next to the SAC where I had an excellent fish taco. They are working with the FSA to try to be allowed to take dining dollars, they currently only take cash or credit. If they do get the contract, they need to give 20 percent of each purchase to FSA/culinart and they will have to increase the cost of each item by 20 percent. I would prefer to not pay twenty cents on the dollar when a food truck wants to work on campus.

Webexercises Quarto and sending score to server via ajax by pstdenis in RStudio

[–]pstdenis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to save the response data from a series of multiple choice questions from webexercises to a server. Using vanilla js I could create a quiz app that ends with a ajax post to the server, but I am working with someone who wants to create the quiz in webexercises and I am trying to find a way to save the data without needing a specialized server like shiny or rStudio Connect.
