<p>I don't know much about the Google Vision API that it claims to use, but
uploading the same passport photo of mine twice produced wildly different results in the "data" tab.<p>There are fields like interests, income, biases/predjudices which vary the most so I assume that's just the site pulling things from its own database of racist stereotypes ?</p>

<p>It is a lot like the Division's DZ. Less toxicity out of the gate, but we'll see how that goes as time passes. They should've taken the "rogue" mechanic from that game.<p>Arc Raiders is a ton of fun though.  Also recommend Helldivers 2 if you just want a PvE shooter. It tends to be buggy as hell but the core game experience is hilariously fun.</p>

<p>In TFA it could be as simple as trying to differentiate between fully "blind" people vs people with MACD (or other severe visual impairments as indicated at the end)<p>i.e, people with a condition that leads to blindness, full or partial.</p>

<p>Fascinating.<p>Pricing, if I am reading the site correctly: $7k-ish for a server (+$ for local disks, one assumes), $2-5k per client.  So you download the movie locally to your server and play it on clients scattered throughout your mansion/property.<p>Not out of the world for people who drop 10s of thousands on home theater.<p>I wonder if that's what the Elysium types use in their NZ bunkers.<p>No true self-respecting, self-described techie (Scotsman) would use it instead of building their own of course.</p>

<p>From comments in the blog post<p>>This is not a goal. Module files are essentially better PCH, they are not meant to be a stable artifact. Consumers compile the module files from the library's interface files as needed.<p>That's not what I was expecting (since I haven't looked into modules too carefully).  Seems counterintuitive. Today I can download an external library's pre-built artifacts and link them as long as they are compiled with the same compiler family for my architecture, etc.<p>This seems to mean you can't import pre-compiled modules of such a library.<p>OTOH, for large game projects  you also want to compile third-party libs from source at least once to make sure you don't end up in the wrong branch of the debug/release/x64/x86/DLL/static maze.<p>So maybe it's a non-issue for most projects. You get the code, compile it once and store the artifact for future use.<p>Still seems a bit restrictive to me.  I would have expected modules to be like DLL/.so  so you could use them at your own peril if you wanted to do something quick/dirty.</p>
