Mentioning gaussian splatting for why we don't need lidar depth is a great example of Musk-esque technobabble; surface level seemingly correct, but nonsense to any practitioner. Because one of the biggest problems of all SfM techniques is that the results are scale ambiguous, so they do not in fact recover that crucial real-world depth measurement you get from lidar.
Now you might say "use a depth model to estimate metric depth" and I think if you spend 5 minutes thinking about why a magic math box that pretends to recover real depth from a single 2D image is a very very sketchy proposition when you need it to be correct for emergency braking versus some TikTok bokeh filter you will see that also doesn't get you far.
This is not really true if you have multiple cameras with a known baseline, or well known motion characteristics like you get with an accelerometer+ wheel speed.
Some of the Unhook options are broken nowadays I think. Its that or one of my other 10 YouTube extensions I now have to deshittify that damn page. Disable translate, SponsorBlock, Disable AutoPlay, some better thumbnail thing..
Why? If I'm writing a mail receiver, and I'm told there is some unique ID generated by the sender in a loosely specified way, the first thing I'm doing is ignoring that value forever. One lesson surely most everyone learns in CS is that unique identifiers are maybe unique to the system generating them, but to rely on foreign generated IDs being unique globally is a terrible idea that will break within the minute.
So at that point the ID has no value to me except being obliged to carry it around with the message, so maybe the originating system can at some point make sense of it. But then there is obviously no reason to ever reject mail without it, it's an ID valid for the sender and the sender didn't care to include one, great, we save on storage.

Your framework of analysis is based on someone else's database key ids being irrelevant to you. That's true.
But another framework of analysis is tracking statistical correlations of what spam looks like. Lots of spam often don't have message ids. Therefore it's used as a heuristic in scoring it as potential spam. That's why other postmasters even without SpamAssassin independently arrive at the same answer of trying to block messages without a message id.

MID-s are used by MUA-s for referring earlier messages, tracking answers and so on. So any software expecting dialog (messages coming back) needs to deal with MID-s correctly. Missing MID-s show that said communication is one direction, because broken dialog has not been problem.
