I have a VR headset and still prefer head tracking. It's more comfortable, and becomes second nature after an hour or two of use.

There is no way to determine that a non-trivial neural network won't drastically diverge in output due to small changes in input (eg one pixel attacks on image classifiers). This is true for all current models I know of.

Almost all neural network implementations have continuous outputs (ie the nodes in the output layer produce a value between 0 and 1). That doesn't change the above issue at all.

This is much less of an issue with traditional methods

That's useless in this case. You need to be able to prove that it will work with all inputs, and there are too many combinations of inputs to exhaustively enumerate.

Not quite. Lifetime annotations prevent you from accidentally using references after the value they refer to has been freed. They track how long things will live, instead of defining how long they will live.

Basically they turn use-after-free errors into compile errors.

(I'm using 'free' here to mean cleaned up in general. Lifetimes can track stack values.)

Why would static types require you to create additional classes?

There is no line. If Google decides to ban you, your only recourse is to post online and hope your story gets enough traction for it to become a PR issue for them.

I've worked on several teams that required PRs before merging, and there was never any toxic behavior. Everybody was happy with it.
