What is the definition of cannot pass through? Would the copy that is trying the pass through be blocked in some way?

Attached to: Real Estate Is Entering Its AI Slop Era
Given many views inside a house, such as all the frames of a walk around video, i want software that can build a set of images of each wall, floor, and ceiling, in that house. Then i want software that can produce new views inside, at new designated angles that were not previously shot. If the input is fully complete, then the output should be, as well. most of the AI would be in scanning the input image frames to "understand" how each frame is shot. I have done this before, manually, a couple times, and merged the images. I think AI should be able to do this, to the extent the input covers.

Too many homes let the heat out and just pay for more to keep it warm ana cozy all winter. And, or course, some of that power comes from solar panels that take light in and reflect almost none of it back out to space.

Attached to: Ask Slashdot: How Important Is It For Programmers to Learn Touch Typing?
Due to a disability, I can only type with my right hand. It definitely slows my typing. But, I have learned to work around this. For example, I use "sticky keys" which lets me type Shift, Ctrl, Alt, and release those keys. so, Ctrl+C is typed by pressing Ctrl then releasing it, then pressing C then releasing it. The regular way also works while "sticky keys" is enabled.

Attached to: Germany's 'Universal Basic Income' Experiment Proves It Doesn't Encourage Unmployment
I think the point of the "study" is that those who get UBI continue employed work, refuting a common claim that much of the population would quit working.
Does it really matter?
To the extent people do quit working, there is more work to do, allowing those who want more luxuries to get another job and earn extra money for that.
I have doubts about this study. I believe it does not study the reality of an economy with a UBI (emphasis on "universal" ... everyone gets it). things could be very different in such an economy. maybe they then need to study how it effects 122 people not getting a UBI.

i would call it a misstudy. how would a UBI affect behavior in an economy that is not getting virtually any UBI. a true study would provide a UBI to the entire income earning aged population to correctly see how the study group behaves in a UBI affected economy.

Uh huh and how many of those billionaires were in the Biden cabinet?
Did Biden have the mental capacity to understand wealth?

As long as Apple sticks to this. I am sure they will find the revenue stream to allow "logos" that are animations with sounds that soon get loud, and trigger vibrators, too. what revenue stream enhancing innovation comes next?

Is this based on the caller ID number that comes with the call? Caller ID can be forged. Or is Apple sending some other out-of-band info, or delivering the call via internet (using up your carrier's allocation to your account)? First, we need a law (not just an FCC regulation) that requires carriers to verify that caller ID coming in from every customer is a number that would be routed out that trunk (e.g one of their numbers), and let that operate a while (a year or two) so we have correct caller ID (with severe penalties for carriers that fail) for a while.

And, eventually, we'll depend on this.
