Is this what you do? Because I'm at least an intermediate with astrophotography with a camera, and even airplanes are a total non issue. If you're so deep into the sky that you actually need many minutes or hours on the same spot, the teeny tiny time that satellite is there is a non issue and easy to remove with math.
That's what I don't understand, how are they ruined? If you're so deep that you need minutes or hours of exposures, that satellite will blip past the frame so fast it's not going to matter. And if the exposure time is less than that, you stack.
That's unrectified LEDs flashing at mains frequency, not PWM.
I don't see how this can be true especially if you have a fancy telescope tracking something, take 3-5 whatever many shots in succession and stack. It's astrophotography 101.
My grandpa used to say "we're not building a piano" when doing things like building a quick shelf or something in the basement and be done after a quick measure and a few cuts. My other grandpa would spend an entire day measuring, sanding, pulling out a router etc. Both valid, but if you just need something to put some paint cans on, it doesn't require a day of work.
"Don't use mic cables"
I've used mic cables for 1000+ shows over 20+ years with no issues. I guess most of my runs have been at most 100-200 feet if distance is the issue. Wireless/wifi controllers are the only things I've had consistent problems with.
This is a demo. It's like taking the first shitty picture or making the first shit sounding "analog electronic instrument" played by the guy who doesn't know how to play music but is an electronic savant. It's the concept that matters, not this specific execution of it.
It's a new medium and I think that is really exciting to watch it develop.
I completely agree and this is a very unpopular opinion outside of people who actually are artists.
They are awful because there is no effort put into it. You're missing the point entirely with generative art. Generative art with care and intent is indiscernible from "real" art at this point. You just don't realize it.
Similarly, all the components in an audio amplifier are super dumb because you can just have 4 guys play in your living room amirite
If you're talking consumer, there are a plethora of solutions already that are much simpler. If you're talking enterprise, there's no way the cost will make sense for TBs of data as enterprise backup solutions have existed since forever.
As a sysadmin I'm in the same boat. I've unfortunately never worked with security folks that seemed to have any sysadmin or dev experience. Whether or not this is universal, idk, and I have no idea what they are teaching in these security courses. But I'm tired of security teams telling me "you need to implement these 230 group policies this quarter" or whatever. They don't seem to grasp the externalities of a request like that and how much fucking work it is to vet, test, deploy, monitor, verify, etc. 80% of the time, they don't even know what they do or if it's even impactful for us.
If you're trying to get it to write it in your voice, just dump some stuff you've written into the context. You need to think about other voices and be able to describe what makes yours different as well.
Use examples and learn about writing. If you're not a good writer, or at least have a passing interest, I'm not sure why anyone would expect it to nail their style any more than you would expect it to architect software in something you're not familiar with.
Give it some paragraphs of writing you like, authors, writers, whatever. Also don't expect to one shot long papers. Have it write out a table of contents and write it in small chunks.
Typical things I'll say is avoid purple prose, avoid common cliches and tropes, "show don't tell", avoid wild metaphors and similes, etc. But it all depends on what you like. Look at things you do like and try to think about what it is about that writing that is different than a middle schooler or an AI writing it. Theres no formula for it.
It's absolutely fair unless you believe in magic. "Make it sound like a human and not AI" is never going to get you good results just due to information theory. You're not giving it enough to work with or what the hell that even means.
That's fine, but your inexperience with large companies that are MS's bread and butter doesn't really give you any credibility here. It's the standard for a reason.
They are great writers if you tell them what you want. If you're unable to properly articulate the writing style you would like as you would a software spec, well, garbage in, garbage out.
People outside of office workers aren't using Claude/Codex etc. though. It's the only real audience. What's the use case outside of an office? Grocery lists?
This is a pretty uncharitable take. Every largish construction company in the country uses StarLink for their many projects where Internet isn't available. Yknow, actually building the country out. It's a game changer.
You should be using stacking software anyway. It's a complete non issue.
I'm in northern Wisconsin right now and the sky looks fucking amazing. Stop being so dramatic.
Mhmm. Take your meds.
He's 72 years old, I'm sure he has the best brains and everyone's best interests in mind. This is exactly what I want to see. I'm sure he will have very good opinions on technology and it's implications.
Cars are leaky as fuck. They are more leaky than your house. There is 0 potential of CO2 buildup that is anything remotely close to being harmful.
I get the impression he's not saying all sim games, but "drive the vehicle" sims in general. I have to agree. There's just nothing engaging about it imo.
Take a walk outside bro.
A - masks don't protect you, they protect others, B - what % of the population leaves the house when they feel sick enough that they should wear a mask?
Lol yes
Cars aren't hermetically sealed vessel. This is hilarious.
