<p>I don't think it was written by a bot either. But seemed incomprehensible enough to ask another bot for their insight :-)<p>In seriousness, I appreciate your analogy above. That brings the article into a more interesting light.</p>

<p>Appreciate you writing up a more terse version. Tangentially, I fed the article into GPT-3, then led with the prompt:<p>> Q: Was the above article written by a bot? Explain your reasoning.<p>It's response was:<p>> 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.<p>I thought this was a pretty humorous take.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.<p>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.<p>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.</p>

<p>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?<p>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?</p>

<p>Along with Sumatra, agreed that IrfanView is an incredible gem. It will take pretty much anything you throw at it, and is incredibly lightweight. When doing animations, I can load up a folder with several thousand images and just hold down the right arrow key to get a preview of the animation via IrfanView.</p>

<p>> People who take time off to travel or otherwise enjoy their life don't do it based on the charity of working people as you seem to assume. They already worked, created value, saved some of that value, then spend their stored value as they please. Why does that make you so angry?<p>Exactly. Odd that the parent commenter is bitter about the idea of people enjoying their money. You earned the money, and if you wish to spend it traveling/any other old thing... well why not?</p>

<p>Sure, just submitted a new issue. Included in the issue, but I think there might be a more general problem with how block conversion is handled (at least for quote and code block types). On firefox at least, it's pretty easy to crash this by messing with block type dropdown.</p>
