I agree, I think this part makes it clear: except as modified by the unknown factors mentioned previously. Although this is quite contradicting: 5.1.2.3. p4: In the abstract machine, all expressions are evaluated as specified by the sema

What both ends? :-) This is a rocket, not a plastic tube. And who plugs them, and where. In space, before landing?

That is not correct. The type used to write to the memory is int, not void or char. If the object, whose address is passed to the function is not compatible with int, the behavior is undefined. You should read about strict aliasing, you wil

I guess one could still be evil and pass a pointer to a non-int type to the function. That example is really bad, you don't need a void pointer to show this ub 'optimization'.

That code is well defined.

I think you're trolling but here goes: Oculus terms of service require (among other things) of the user this: By submitting User Content through the Services, you grant Oculus a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual (i.e. lasting forever)

This is what I'm thinking too. The lack of dashboard is not because the car will be autonomous, it will be but only on the freeway, but because there will be a HUD.

How could it be? The regulations don't allow it. I don't see it happening sooner than 10 years. If so, what is their plan?

As a future dev it makes me sick. I have to choose either to support a business like that or never make any money.

I have no problem with that if it is an opt-in. Otherwise I expect privacy in my home. No mobile app is tracking me. The only information stored by the use of my phone is the cell tower location, the use of that information requires a court

Read it again. Author is concerned about how Oculus threats their users, therefore as a developer he/she decided to not contribute to that system.

Good point. You would get different sequences by choosing different constants for the generator though, but you couldn't cover all of them by a longshot.

Limiting resources are a limiting factor, kinda a tautology.

I agree with you, although it is incorrect to assume that batteries will be always lithium based.

MLCG is sequential. No value will be repeated within the period.

by vrfcodf 10y ago
This only matters in calculations where randomness is important, i.e. Monte Carlo method. Nevertheless, if you don't use the least significant bits, and if the constants are carefully chosen, MLCG passes most of the hardest statistical

Here is an alternative: Use a multiplicative linear congruential generator with a period 2^n , where n is ceil(log2(m)), where m is the size of the list. Seed the generator, start generating values and drop all values that are larger than m

That sounds very helpful and frightening at the same time. In the future where everything is recorded the records should be sealed unless a warrant for those recordings is presented. The warrants should be made public. Recording everything
