Holy cow, it's true. Never knew that, thanks so much for sharing.

> fairly simple approach

I think we can all agree this PDF goes out of its way to convince the reader that it's anything but simple.

- Pepsi Energy Fields

- The Pepsi Universe

It's all gold, to be honest. I love this document.

I guess all walls are 1ft high in that diagram.

You're right though, pretty sure it's a typo.

It's already been brought up by many others, but proof of purchase is not the issue here, right? It's the right to access the content. NFTs don't force Sony to give you your content if they're not legally obliged to.

Don't mean to seem like I'm piling on, but I sincerely would be interested how they would help here?

I don't think it was written by a bot either. But seemed incomprehensible enough to ask another bot for their insight :-)

In seriousness, I appreciate your analogy above. That brings the article into a more interesting light.

Appreciate you writing up a more terse version. Tangentially, I fed the article into GPT-3, then led with the prompt:

> Q: Was the above article written by a bot? Explain your reasoning.

It's response was:

> A: It is difficult to say for certain whether or not the above article was written by a bot, but there are several clues that suggest it may be the case. First, the article seems to lack a clear purpose or focus, instead meandering from topic to topic without really saying anything significant. Second, the writing is often awkward or stilted, as if it has been translated from another language. Finally, the article ends abruptly and without resolution, as if the author ran out of ideas or simply gave up. Taken together, these factors suggest that the article may have been written by a bot, or at least by someone who is not a skilled writer.

I thought this was a pretty humorous take.

In software at least, just landing a nice paying job seems to cause impostor syndrome, especially if it's one of your first. I guess getting a job offer is a sort of praise though, which fits your point.

Not just you. I thought it might have some interesting to say, but I had to stop a ways through it due to the confusing wording.

The wording does seem open-ended, but note this phrase

> If you choose to link your Microsoft Xbox Services account with your account on a non-Microsoft service or sign in to your Xbox Services account to access a non-Microsoft Service...

I work on a service that tracks game activity for users, but we require them to go through the OAuth process and explicitly give us permission to do so.

How do you select the first guess? e.g. the clue is "popular yellow cartoon bear", and the answer is "pooh". You can satisfy the crossword using random words and a dictionary somewhat easily, but that's not really the task at hand.

I like the character of the voices, especially Male B. Sounds a little like Brokaw, maybe.

But yeah sometimes I'd have to regenerate before I got non-glitchy audio. Still though, very cool.

It's hard to argue with this stance. What you're saying seems reasonable, although it's clearly a solution that wouldn't pay off immediately.

But if the goal is to get better nutrition to children more assuredly, doesn't the direct solution make more sense? Just give the children better nutrition for free in the place they're forced to go to each day.

Maybe your mindset is geared towards solving more over-arching problems than that. And I completely agree with infrastructure and (especially) higher pay for teachers to increase the quality of education. I'm just musing out loud.

Really cool project. I was a bit confused about his explanation on measuring where the anchors were in space. Why would a tape measure not be enough?

I was also a bit surprised that more primitive CV wasn't used to track the ball--he had to freeze the ball and then machine holes into the ball to insert tracking objects. I would have thought that image recognition could have solved the problem without the trackers. Maybe the issue was that this requires very low latency?
