New comment by MetaMalone in "What an unprocessed photo looks like"

I have always wondered at the lowest level how a camera captures and processes photos. Much appreciated post.

Thanks for the link. So basically, you are at a private game and if everyone has their phones out (and you are also an unsuspecting idiot), you are screwed.

Crazy that there is a USB port exposed outside the machine.

“An X-ray poker machine was employed to read facedown cards and a rigged card-shuffling machine was also used in the plot, prosecutors say.”

Would love to know more about such a machine, if anyone has any insight. Are these developed underground? How expensive could they be?

If it can efficiently take in a deck of cards and deterministically return a rigged deck in a reasonable amount of time, I would be fascinated at how they solved that problem.

New comment by MetaMalone in "You can choose tools that make you happy"

MetaMalone — Mon, 26 May 2025 02:49:21 +0000

Should we feel happy solving our problems with our fancy tools? Are our tools and in-depth knowledge a distraction to inflate our egos, or a sign of self-respect and passion?

I’m inclined to believe the latter. Our fancy tools provide so much more utility beyond keeping us happy. Our tools teach us new things and stretch our curiosity and creativity. Our happiness stretches us to solve more problems and ask better questions.

This group is much more tangible for me. Instead of trusting the status quo, this group fears it.

New comment by MetaMalone in "Strengths Are Your Weaknesses"

MetaMalone — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 17:09:59 +0000

I think strengths are more difficult to define than weaknesses, because they are very context dependent. “Speed” may be useful in certain situations, but in many cases “speed” can be harmful in more ways than just overlooking details. You miss out on opportunities to learn, to ask for help, to become better at thinking critically as a software engineer.

What the idea of “strengths being weaknesses” reflects is how much we identify with our present state of ability. It seems like we get it backwards. We ask our jobs to fit us as people, rather than how we as individuals can become best for the job.
