Comment Sovereignty vs. Briefcases of Cash (Score 1) 115

The right way to do this is to hire a group of developers and have test volunteers report workflow problems - then FIX them - then iterate. That's the point of choosing an open source solution.

Eventually there would be no problems remaining.

But so many possible scenarios exist that it's impossible to guess what happened here.

You might steal a trailer that is full of nickels. But now you need to somehow get rid of $50K worth of nickels.
There was a case in Germany, when silver prices exploded, and the 5 Mark (at that time a about $1.50 - the Dollar was pretty high, in our times Euro 2,50 - but by inflation perhaps only Euro 1), that count had about 65% silver.
People started to horde the coins to smelt them ... it pretty quickly lead to a replacement of those coins. I mean: a new kind of coin, mostly nickel, was introduced.

If you had a 2 or 3 yards wide TV monitor, with 24Hz refresh rate.
Watching tennis would be a pain.

The ball would jump in 5 inch (or more) jumps from left to right, and back.

With 120Hz or more, the ball flies in a curved, but connected, line.

The old mantra: a human eye can not distinguish reality from a 24Hz frame rate, is only true, if nothing particular interesting is happening in the 24Hz frame rate.

In a computer game, you anticipate where to shot at, for example. And that is based on your "perception". If you have a framerate, that deceives your perception, you are never able to aim accurately. Which basically boils down to: your accuracy does not matter. That is pretty odd, or? You aim as accurate as human possible: but the target is not there, because the refresh rate blurred it out of the cross hair.

No, you vote for a position in alignment with you, not a person.
Nope.
Neither in Brazil nor France, you vote for some "alignment", you vote for a person.

Yes. That is my point. And in my example I mentioned THREE not two.
Did not look like 3 to me.

least some effort into understanding what someone wrote before *checks notes* saying their explanation sucks
You have a point :D

The size of the model has nothing to do with the size of a task.

Simple speaking, you run similar tasks thousands of times ... the parts of the model that are not relevant: never gets swapped in.

More concrete: you load a model that is specific for your task. Worst case it only can find cats in pictures, and gives you the x1,y1 - x2,y2 coordinates in the picture where it finds cats ...

Such a model is probably not even 100NM.

While this is true, being the subject of an experiment to see what happens when you do that is not something most people would choose for themselves. It's not *irrational* to be concerned. Absence of evidence on a largely unexplored question like microplastic infiltration in human bodies is not the moral equivalent of absence of evidence in an extensively studied question like a vaccine-autism link.

nah, a RS code can correct a tiny bit of loss but two metadata copies can correct a bad sector or even track if you're lucky.

Different requirement spaces.

The idea this guy has might make embedded devices slightly more long-lasting.

They usually have quantity one of a cheap storage part and a bad block in the wrong place could brick the whole thing.

It would only be useful in the case where maybe the build is 12MB and the chip is 16.

Most vendors won't ever pay extra for this.
