Amazon made a new version of its cashierless tech that doesn’t need cameras
  • Yea, that does sound like breaking problem. I have no clue how to begin solving that one.

    I feel like there was an idea, not in this article, where people would scan items as they add them to their cart and then this walkout process was really just a redundant verification of walking out with the purchase. Still, that does sound like a lot of error prone noise.

  • Amazon made a new version of its cashierless tech that doesn’t need cameras
  • I see two reported major issues

    First, they made the product manufacturers include them on their own dime. I get the logic, have that manufacturer include adding them in their assembly line process. But as stated, this was an extra expense for a couple of reasons and at times made the product unprofitable.

    The solution, to start, seems to be either adding them via a walmart processing center, or have a funds process where sellers could get walmart to refund the cost and share it. I guess the third option would be to raise all prices at walmart to ensure the cost was bulit into the product.

    Second problem, data load. Compared to 2006, i think we are much better at large datsets these days both from a space and processing power perspective. Datacenters in 2006 were often on-prem with upgrades to size having large and expensive lead times. AWS changed that and Amazon owns that, so i expect that bottle neck to be solvable.

  • Fox News host caught accidentally making the case for Roe v Wade
  • They are still contradictions. As we saw, there is collateral damage to hospitals and emergency resources when anti-vaccine folks hate science until they are on their death bed.

    With that said, now we are doing better to the point that anti-vaccers aren't overloading hospitals and my argument becomes moot. But during a period of time once vaccines initially were available, anti-vaccine folks were definitely hurting other people.

  • Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
  • I've started to see some of the hive mind downvote bridgade come here too. Heck someone downvoted your relatively neutral comment already, instead of taking the time to reply as to why they disagree. And those that do reply didn't actually read what you wrote and then put words and perspectives in your mouth.

    A lot of reddit thinks in black and white scenarios where everything popularly decided can't have a extenuating circumstance. I am pretty sure most of reddit would argue with their own reflection. Maybe it's bots, maybe kids. It is definitely annoying and immature. It is hard to conversate in a thread when everyone is acting like a 5 year old not getting their lollipop.

  • Bill Gates said, "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." What's a real-life example of this?
  • Lol, I haven't heard of the dreaded Blackboard in forever. What a boomerang of stress 😀

    @killick, if this is a website you can automate this yourself by creating a csv of that data schema you want and then use Selenium to auto-fill and submit that web form. Automated UI testers use Selinum for testing, but it doesn't have to be just a test. Selenium shoud be free to run.

  • In a 200 person company, I made friends with some peeps in the marketing department.

    Yep, their workflows have tons of automation potential. They are definitely doing hours of work that can be done in minutes. Companies really should have rotations where a dev just sits and watches sales and marketing do any data input work.

  • Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.
  • You have some points, but "not well recieved" would be downvotes. I think banning is censorship and can be a fair complaint.

    With that said, maybe the sub had posted rules that were violated. It isn't like OP couldn't create their own sub if that was the situation.

    Banning people from communication spaces though should be a concerning behavior. It goes both ways.

  • Code Review
  • I feel this way about open source and the seemingly frequent lack of detailed code reviews. This one project had two function options to use from a library. One handles errors by returning them to the caller so they can be handled gracefully. The other, calls PANIC! They chose the latter and it causes a crash loop for a relatively easy to hit code condition that is sensitive to User input.

    Why ask for unit test, in the code review, when you can just accept the contribution for a feature that is used in large corps.

  • Anyone else feels that they're more active on Lemmy than they were on Reddit?
  • Content felt like it exploded just over the past couple of days. The coverage of world news events has been excellent. Memes have homes. It has been nice.

    The breath of fresh air has generally been maturity in a lot of posts. Reddit felt like junior high deduction skills most of the time. I don't expect it to last, but it makes me engage more.

  • Lemmy growth curve
  • It is a tight small shop from what I understand. Their github: https://github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin

    Ernest, from what I've seen, has been very receptive and passionate about all the incoming users. They scaled their infrastructure quickly to meet demand and were interacting with users on kbin regarding features they would like to see. I have high hopes.
