cool! however, when i was doing some research, i couldn't find any that had full-body skeleton tracking

e: seeing now that the one you linked seems to do it. but you bet your rear end i wasn't going to risk my project on something i hadn't heard of before. we chose the kinect before microsoft announced it'd be discontinued

yeah all my stuff is about looking at things other than people so i don't really do anything with skeleton tracking

at some point i'm gonna get fed up with there not being a sensor that does ~exactly what i need~ and build my own using a DSLR and picoprojector or something

i heard a bit about this documentary (it's about adderall) and from the bit i heard it sounds like they're lumping everyone with legitimate ADD in with assholes who abuse it as "performance enhancement" which is just great

stephen king sold the right to have your name in cell as a background/minor character using an ebay auction (he also totally used cell phones for sure since after the van incident but he liked to complain about them a lot more before smartphones caught on)

and also yeah that web published novella was like one of the first ebook titles to really sell huge - iirc it got half a million sales in the first few weeks which was massive for the time, especially considering you could really only read it on a computer then or maybe like a palm pilot.

otoh he did the plant(?) which was free to read online but you had to chip in to pay him to keep writing it and people didn't so it ended up shelved for quite a while

how can you mess this up?

look, every dead pedestrian will make the cars smarter. for that company at least. i mean, if it takes google 5 tries to teach their cars not to run over toddlers, with all the attendant bad PR that comes with that, then it would be pretty unfair to make them hand that training data over to tesla and uber for free. to make an omelette u gotta break a few eggs

a friend of mine once took one of those “which author are you most like” quizzes and posted the results to facebook on a lark. the two authors were stephen kind and david foster wallace. i made a similar joke about lobsters, and it just sucked the virtual air out of the room.

they probably turned the sensitivity on both 1 and 2 way down so the car wouldn't brake for a plastic bag blowing in the wind or something like that

Normally, i'd laugh at you and say "gently caress you i'm in Denver forever", but you happen to pull this poo poo while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna say no, I wanna come visit. But I can't visit there, because I know i'd move there right away.. Besides, I've already been through too much poo poo this morning over this city to move away from this dumb poo poo.
