>although we've collectively decided that we prefer to have 2,147,483,647 + 1 = -2,147,483,648. (in both C++ or rust in release mode)

Signed integer overflow is undefined behavior in C++. Only unsigned integers are defined to wrap like that.

Yes, it's one of the two equivalent degree/title abbreviations for dentists here (and some other places).

What is the precision required (or used in your datasets) for camera position and angles? Is the geotagging in the images from common cellphones and smart cameras enough? Were they back-calculated using some other method from non- or poorly-georeferenced images?


It's hard for me to say how precise camera position and direction needs to be. We use COLMAP to estimate both via multi-view stereo.


Almost, except for the low end. It would be perfect if it grouped donations and charges, and let you allocate any arbitrarily small amount to any creator. As it is, it charges fees per creator you patronize, and limits donation to being at least $1 per creator. I'd put $30/month there easily if I could spread it over 100-200 creators with fees of $0.30 + 2.9% on the $30, but the current $0.10 + 5% on each $1 donation means a lot less of my money is going to the creator (who also gets charged those fees + 5-12% for Patreon services when cashing out) than I think is useful, and that's even after downsizing the pool of creators I'd like to donate to in order to meet the minimum $1/each.

To be fair, in looking this up, I did find it's a lot better than when I cancelled my Patreon account, since at the time they were proposing $0.30 + something% even for $1 donations. But the bundling of donations was my whole point in using them, and when they clearly said they weren't going that way, that was it for me. That's why I like the Brave/flattr/"sponsor pool" approach so much more. It lets me support creators (especially web comics, bloggers, and video creators) in a much more similar scale to the advertising model, which many were on before, and for which I think we need a popular replacement.

Liberapay lets you donate a minimum of ¢1 ($0.01, and they also support 32 other currencies) a week https://liberapay.com/about/faq#maximum-amount, and IIUC lets creators choose the cut that goes to them


Thanks for looking it up. This was news to me, I always assumed Patreon charged whatever fee on the gross amount I pay every month.


The difference is that if 9 people watch 99 hours of A's let's plays or last 2 music videos on repeat, and one person watched 1 hour of B's 20 well-researched and edited 3-minute educational videos, A-watchers put in $90, B-watchers put in $10, and under global popularity A gets $99 and B gets $1. Local pooling would mean that A gets $90 and B gets $10. This is my main complaint against Youtube Red too.


USA: https://www.wellsfargo.com/online-banking/service-fees $30 to send a wire transfer, just within the country. And $15 to receive one too.


Why the heck do people use those kinds banks over there? Seems to me it takes away all the usefulness of one. It's a money bucket where you put money in and take money out. As soon as one of those three aspects is not there, then what is the point?


https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/banking/wire-transfers-what-... There really isn't any low cost option for wire transfers in the US. ACH is the free transfer option, and it takes 1-3 days. Wire transfers are the "pay a lot for immediate confirmation" option just for the very few transfers it's worth it on. The average person is unlikely to ever make or receive a wire transfer. There are consumer-level alternatives for personal transfers like Venmo: https://venmo.com/about/product/


But why wouldn't you want to send or receive money using your bank? Isn't that what it is for? As a non-US person this seems really strange to me (but so is the concept of cheques and tip-based income).

I'm used to using the bank, the apps they have and de debit cards they provide (and now also Apple Pay) to send and receive money instantly every day, and there are on average ~10 instant transfers daily to both other private accounts or businesses to pay for things.

Perhaps this is an exotic or luxury position, or there is some unseen cost to this, but I'm not aware of that at this point.
