this is accurate ^
Sony is big and gaining more traction by the day. RED is very popular, Personally I know an equal number of filmmakers with RED and Sony. Arri is the premium brand. Canon is almost exclusively used in documentary these days, they had their moment with the 5DMK2 years about but squandered it. Sad really.
I agree but most of this. Of course I would rather speak to a person, but replacing every chatbot with a person will increase cost (my cost). Do I really need a random person to read me a pre-written script when a chatbot can do the same thing? You think these people have permission to do things a chatbot can't? A chatbot can escalate your problem to a manager when necessary too.
You don't want AI music recommendations? Great, don't use it. Go speak to people. Many find discovery algorithms useful.
Want some custom art? Pay an artist. You can do this once a week at most before you're broke?
It's not a replacement for search? Google search was gamed by spammy websites and shitty people for years before AI.
It's idealistic. It's an easy opinion to have. You're not solving any problems.
AI has it's place and it's not meaningful art, a replacement for genuine human interaction or going to solve all of our problems. But it turns out at a REALLY GREAT autocomplete is a powerful tool. That's good enough.
3D + video (motion)
It's not a 3D model that is animated using a skeleton and keyframes like traditional 3D. It's many consecutive 3D models that create the illusion of continuous motion (aka video).
4D is the name that has come to describe the jump from static 3D models (photogrammetry) to 3D "video" models.
The "story" being told doesn't have a clear through line. I didn't understand the context for anything. I also didn't see any of the information I wanted to see.
What was the hottest year? What was the year with the most broken records? What is the overall trend? It actually told me what the hottest day on record was, but there is so much to read I completely glazed over and missed it the first time.
Yeah... Is it really a 2-point gradient if it contains 5 different colors? The grey bugs me, but surely turning a gradient into a rainbow is not a solution. More like, an alternative.
20-30ms would be noticeable to a trained eye. Speedrunners often hit buttons frame perfect during a 1/30th or 1/60th second window. Many people today are playing on 120-240hz monitors. Additionally, if you're training on gameplay from X game and that game has theoretical ghost frames that the player doesn't see / shoot at, then the hack shouldn't shoot at it either.
It's a bit of a chicken an egg problem.
I'm glad Linus stepped in on this one.
Unrelated question here - how are people actually consuming mailing lists like this? I always find these links difficult to read and have always assumed there much be some superior format, alternative typefaces for one.
uhhh... your mac might be broken. I have one and my friend has one. We both engage in cpu/gpu intensive workloads and this just doesn't happen. Still within the return window? Would be interesting to find out your fan is DOA or something like that...
"This trend has been running for a long time. IBM, founded in 1896, took 45 years to reach a billion 2020 dollars in revenue. Hewlett-Packard, founded in 1939, took 25 years. Microsoft, founded in 1975, took 13 years. Now the norm for fast-growing companies is 7 or 8 years."
Shouldn't inflation be taken into account here? A speed increase is still apparent, but at a slower rate overall.
Twitch doesn't see itself as a platform for creative freedom even though everyone wants to perceive them as such (because they market it that way). Twitch wants to become a network, like cable TV. It's easier, and more predictable.
Pros: maintain control of the brand perception, market to their target demographic with simple messaging, everyone in the inevitable echo chamber is satisfied (including employees).
Cons: Some people are mad and move to create an opposing "rival" network. (which is likely to happen anyways)
This logic can be applied to other major social media networks, the surviving ones anyway.
this is fun, i agree with the suggestions to make it function more like a real terminal. tab completion is a must
when you open textedit you can change the mode to plain text with menu>format>make plain text.
To be fair - news is not a social media platform. I don't know why every webpage on the internet needs a comments section anyways. News articles can be posted elsewhere for public comment and discussion. Like here or reddit, twitter, etc.
Lets get back to the basics here. If Texas was connected to either the East or West grid, would it have power right now? Yes.
Edit - Texas can only access a tiny fraction of energy reserves due to weak connections to the East and West Grid. Imagine those connections were stronger or direct. I'm sure neighboring states will suffer too. I'm applying general knowledge of distributed systems, I'm not going to act like I know the specifics of the US power grid. If you go it alone, in any system, there are consequences.
I did this test last night with my buddy's 6K RED RAW footage. I could play 6K realtime at 1/4 quality, while my fully loaded MBP with i7 + 32GB of ram could only playback at 1/8 quality. Keep in mind real editors NEVER edit raw footage, they use proxies.
The really impressive part was that the mac mini did NOT spin up the fan during playback, completely silent. The i7 Macbook Pro sounded like a jet turbine spinning up within 30 seconds. Awesome.
Given that WASD is a standard in gaming I'm surprised by this approach. Do many games / game engines use key position? Isn't it easier to just add key remapping so outliers can configure freely?
the 1984 ad is a little strange TBH. Apple was saying IBM wants to control the future of all information in this country, so come join us instead. Epic is saying, we want more money so standby while we go to court. Where is the epic smart phone alternative which is going to save us from the apple monopoly?
It will be better for all developers if the gatekeepers lower their rates, but epic really doesn't strike me as a white knight here.
Not only is this the first time we've ever had a long-term car suffer a catastrophic failure while parked, it's also an extraordinarily rare case of any car leaving us stranded, something unacceptable for any new vehicle, particularly one that costs $57,690 and with merely 5286 miles on the odometer.
Can anyone shed light on if this is a widespread issue, or is this an edge case? This article reads like a rant.
Not too long ago, you discovered out your vehicle was dead because it wouldn't start. It would flash a light if you were lucky.
This time, there was no offer of a loaner or any kind of temporary transportation
That sucks, maybe the only notable comment in the entire article.
This doesn't have much to do with saying "no" and everything to do with not understanding the fundamentals of a policy. If they guy who said "no swap" had a reason, then you could have discussed and potentially changed the policy.
I created an account to comment on the good experience I was having with the update.
I did a side-by-side comparison of the old UI and the new UI and I've changed my stance. The old one is a better "email" UI, but google is trying to mature the email experience.
A big problem here is that email showing it's age. Google is eager to hide less common tools behind menus. They want to delete all of the old "manual" buttons/tools so their smart filters can take over. It wont work. The truth is everyone likes email because it's fairly consistent, but we're forever trapped in 90's tech.
Instant messengers have transformed the way that we communicate, but email hasn't caught up. Maybe... it shouldn't.
