How do I get it back?!

Inexcusable that Paramount used the UK dub on some episodes

Just downloaded it and had the same panic in my house

Sure I was being hyperbolic for effect but a lot of the tone is closer to panicking than “wondering”.

We are exposed to American accents all day every day. Americans often seem to want to protect themselves from having to be exposed to anything non-American, even going as far as to remake entire TV shows rather than just broadcasting the original.

If you want to read some hilarious reactions of Americans panicking when they are suddenly exposed to non-American English/British accents, check out these threads:

Absolutely deranged

Or Grok just has just spent too much time on Twitter.

What problem is it aiming to solve (that the file name doesn't already solve)?

Just like a psychological diagnosis is often based on proximity to a cluster of symptoms rather than specific ones that must be met, you can't point to one particular line that makes it AI. It is the combination of all of the sentences that aligns with our perception of AI.

Am I missing something or does the article fail to explain the point of Arrow’s Theorem? Is it satisfied for the discrete case, provably impossible, or what?

While this applies to discrete rankings and voter preferences, one might wonder if it’s a unique property of its discrete nature in how candidates are only ranked by ordering. Unfortunately, a similarly flavored result holds even in the continuous setting! It seems there’s no getting around the fact that voting is pretty hard to get right.

I don’t follow any of this paragraph.

Dumb question, but why don’t they just use a single more highly-curved mirror rather than a series of 3 bounces?

PDF sounds like a terrible format for reading on the kindle, why not MOBI or epub or whatever it uses?

I don’t think it is. What you describe is similar to any other industry disruption, and I don’t think those are unethical. I’d actually argue that preventing disruption is often (not always) unethical, because you artificially prolong an inefficient or inferior alternative.

Waiting for someone to explain to me why this is hyperbole and bluster.

Zsh has a better builtin solution.

    hash -d x=/path/to/x

    ~x

    ls ~x/whatever/

With all due respect, I think you're wildly out of touch with how most people use "phones" these days. Actual calls probably represent about 5% of my phone use. The term "phone" is essentially a historical misnomer at this point.

Why don’t you just keep it with the Pi?

“Siri, what’s 9am Pacific Time?”

gives me the current date.

“Siri, what’s 9am Pacific Time in my local time zone?”

gives me the current time.

I could go on…

Those things are bad because the people involved are not able to consent. The journalists and techies working for band camp entered into voluntary contracts that they can leave at any time. To equate the two is absurd.

Like growth needs to continue because just maintaining value is not acceptable for shareholders, maybe the problem is that the founders/sellers need a big payday because just having a steady income is not acceptable (to them).

Yes. That’s a problem to sort out between the employees and the company, it has nothing do to with users or customers. As a user I’m not going to pretend I know any of the relevant context to engage in activism on behalf of anyone.

What’s your app?

I think this is just wrong. I don’t want “the same bitrate as ProRes”, I just want higher bitrate HEVC. For example YouTube has recently added a “high bitrate 1080p” option, which is still 1080p but less compressed and therefore better quality.

If you don’t have any constructive input why reply?

My main use case is family/holiday videos. Saving massive pro-res files would fill up the space quickly and I’m not sure how to process them into HEVC quickly and simply.

I don’t think the sensor is the limiting factor for me. I am happy with the photo quality on the 15 pro. It’s the video compression. Or maybe the speed at which the sensor can offload video data.

I don’t really have anything to compare it to as I have never used a proper video camera. So I’m just comparing it to the average YouTube video quality I guess.

The main problem that I see is compression artefacts, especially in complex scenes with a lot of motion. For example filming a person or pet moving against a background of grass or gravel, or the camera panning across complex terrain. I even got it really badly just filming waves going in and out on the beach.

I know these are tough situations for to handle but it feels like bumping the bitrate would help a lot.

I am consistently disappointed with the iPhone’s video quality. It looks like the bitrate is simply too low, either to keep file size down or because the phone can’t encode 4K that fast. However shooting in ProRES is simply not practical for me. Can apps like this improve the HEVC video quality, or do they simply reuse the Apple defaults with a new UI? Or is there a ProRES workflow I could be using on the phone?

`mold -run ninja` works really well for me.

Please do open-source this, it would be very useful for me.

People heal at different rates. Some climbers regularly split their fingertips and they can heal up well enough to climb on again within a couple of days.

Which part is unclear?

A system will produce what it can produce, regardless of whether you set a goal.

This is just fundamentally not true for human beings. Certainly not for all of them; I know personally I need a bit of time pressure to perform my best.
