Fun, light-hearted and enjoyable === Terry Pratchett. Strata and the Dark Side of the Sun if you’re looking specifically for Sci-fi. But if you haven’t read the Diskworld series, I envy you! I’d give anything to re-live the sheer ecstasy of reading Pratchett for the first time.

Already mentioned: H2G2 (ditto, would love to be able to read it again for the first time); Ender’s game and sequels; Rama (maybe more thought-provoking than light reading though); basically any Clarke book; basically any Stephenson book.

Another not-quite Sci-fi I’ll put out there is Stross’ Laundry files series: the love child of BOFH and Lovecraft, a really fun read with quite a few hat tips to IT.

He got a small fraction of the salary his English colleagues at Presidency College Calcutta received (in protest, he declined to accept any remuneration for his work until it was corrected), his proposed paper publications in journals were blocked and there was almost a total absence of facilities for conducting research.

It started raining today, thankfully. The problem is our inadequate water system and an awful attitude about our water supply in a simplistic sense because it rains so much here.

We suffer huge leaks in many parts of the water network and new housing developments are built where there is no capacity.

We have a huge housing crisis and plans for water meters and water charges have been abandoned much to the glee of certain factions.

I grew up in rural Ireland. We had a local group scheme where we paid for our water. Plenty of times during heavy rain the water would be brown. In parts of west Ireland there’s are still boil notices.

Meanwhile a large proportion of working class city dwellers howled and trashed at the idea of paying for high quality water.
This is why I enjoyed a computational probability class in college - the professor introduced all of the concepts starting with a problem in physics, a lot of methods in modern stats were built to explain physical behavior of particles with certain constraints.

So people aren't using Snapchat, Instagram Stories, FaceTime, IGTV ?

Because pretty sure encoding is just as important as decoding.

AV1 is almost guaranteed to infringe on patents too.

VP8/VP9 both were patent encumbered and required licensing from MPEG-LA. It's going to be interesting to see what happens if AV1 does take off whether the big MPEG-LA patent contributors decide to go for royalties.

You're grossly overestimating how much an average person cares about anything outside of their family. The decision to have one or more children depends on many other factors (parents' character, their economic status, social safety, ...) before it even gets to any idealistic activism.
I've lost trust on them the day they were busted copying results directly from Google (https://www.wired.com/2011/02/bing-copies-google/)
Whether or not they use it is a completely different matter from whether AV1 is useful for those scenarios.

Assuming a gargantuan encoding slowdown, even in the face of hardware-based encoders on mobile devices (which, again: hardware decoding/encoding is the fact of the matter on how it will happen), then there's no reason to support AV1 encoders since it will hurt battery. You're better off with something else, because users care more about their battery than compression ratios or minor artifacts on their Insta videos.

Assuming no gargantuan slowdown, and devices are equipped with AV1 encoders that perform admirably, then your problem is solved. Just use the hardware encoder. (Personally, it's unclear to me how much of AV1 encode support is fundamental slowness that can't be mitigated by hardware and implementation, but I suspect a lot of this fear is tied up in early-stage numbers. I bet it can go much faster, even if it's still slower overall.)

If you're a media provider like Netflix for example, though, the bandwidth savings will utterly dwarf the cost of the more expensive encoding process. They encode once and serve thousands of times, and they don't run Netflix (the company) on old mobile phones. So they'll do it anyway, because they want their users to use AV1. It saves them bandwidth on a high quality video, and it saves users on their data plans and their battery.

This isn't really very hard to think about. Either AV1 encoding is fundamentally too inefficient for mobile, or it isn't. If it isn't, users can still get fast decoders (that wasn't the bottleneck), since the bandwidth savings are going to be highly desirable for everyone, basically, and they'll be pushed for. If they can be efficient enough, then there's no problem.

It's really not designed for those use cases though. We were using it for a GUI and or finding was that without constraining the resource usage of the GUI using Adaptive Partitioning user-driven workloads could stomp all over the lower-priority processes. This effectively meant that a poorly-configured system would eventually trip the watchdog due to user input.

QNX does include features to control this but you have to know enough about it to realize you want them. And POSIX priorities are not enough to prevent this from happening because they are solving a different problem.

You might find it useful in servers where controllable latency is more important than responsiveness, but I wouldn't use it in a user-driven workload like a desktop OS without very carefully configuring it. Out-of-the box it can be very unstable.
I also find myself much more productive when I use mind mapping software, e.g. XMind, on large/complicated projects.
Could be. But there is a much lazier laptop sticker demographic. It is by far the lowest effort way to tell one MacBook from another. The people who do this with stickers they got at a meetup are the same demographic as healthcare researchers who use pens and writing pads with the name of a prescription medication. It is the lowest effort way to jot something down.

These people don’t have bumper stickers because a bumper sticker isn’t a low effort way into o do anything. They do tend to have a permanent layer of dust on their car as well as parking stickers that expired six years ago, though

Actually, I pay that extra amount without hesitation. Thinking of the times when I constantly had to fiddle around with my Windows ThinkPad or my Ubuntu ThinkPad, time is more expensive for me, so the extra 700 Euros means nothing for me. - But yes, you are right. They have gotten expensive in the past several years.
Art imitates life or life imitates art . . . who knows . . .
They sure are, but what AV1 currently excels at is making one expensive encode to save bandwidth costs on hundreds of thousands of views later on.

It's maybe a little early in terms of available computing power (and how optimized encoders currently are) to think about AV1 mobile encoding.

Since the typing module used to be one of the slowest modules in core you paid a performance penalty even if cpython does no care about type annotations (improved in 3.7). So it does have something to do with performance...

There are other implementations and Python supersets that do use type annotations for optimization and I don't see this trend slowing.
Federalism isn’t disenfranchisement. You’re arriving at false conclusions because you’re starting with the invalid — dare I even say motivated? — premise that a system that groups votes is less fair to people who reside in larger groups.

This is the exact comparison I want - to know in which ways it is different from what I have now.

I'm not going to switch away from MacOS on my daily use machine (though do have various ThinkPads with FreeBSD and so forth), so comparison to the hardware other manufacturers hardware produce is irrelevant to me.
> Getting a tangent to change that drastically over a small interval is quite hard, except on a cusp, where the curve itself is discontinuous (so anything that happens at the cusp is always going to be wrong)

FWIW, I ran into near cusps with 3D curves immediately in production with hair physics simulations. They don’t happen a lot, but the frames are needed for guide hairs, so popping when frames flip is extremely noticeable, even though they not crazy common.

> Splitting the curve at the cusp and treating it as two curves, to be joined "however is the most aesthetically pleasing way" is basically your only option.

I came up with an adaptive sampling method that can guarantee a step size with no more than a given minimum change of angle. It worked well in my case for CG hair with cubics. (Not published, but happy to describe if you have any interest.)

I’ve also seen a really neat parametric remapping method for quadratics that can precompute all parameter values with an exact constant change of angle for every step.

Can you clarify what youre referring to with "decided to implement it in the compiler instead", be it from this blog post or elsewhere?

Clearly you need coroutines in the compiler, and the way Rust treats ownership means pinning is needed in some way (I've not been following closely so don't know if this is in libstd or a language-level feature), but the rest (according to this post) seems to be going in libstd so you can write your own if you want.
Disagree. There’s so many people who cannot have biological children (for many reasons), so practically speaking a large percentage of those who can should have at least 3 or the population will decline.
Beyond that fact that the Earth's future population isn't the number one factor in the decision for most couples, 2 children is still below the replacement rate.
It’s downvoted because this comment appears in literally every discussion about new codecs, is misguided and trivially countered every time, and yet it persists. People enjoyed this discussion the first, second, and maybe even third time. By the twentieth time, people get tired of commenters making these kinds of baseless assertions that fundamentally boil down to an accusation of staggering incompetence on those involved in designing the codec.

Yes, the reference implementation of encoding is slow. Being fast is not a high priority for a reference implementation. Optimized implementations will come later. ASIC implementations will come later. The H.265 reference implementation was similarly slow, and it’s not a problem. And mobile devices primarily care about decode performance.

Electric car charging can smooth the grid, similar to industrial users. If big battery cars (that only need to be recharged every few days) become popular, and most people can plug them in both day and night, and you have a forecast of when the car user might need to actually be fully charged, then you can charge-or-not depending on the weather.
Calling something a “fallacy” is the fallacy fallacy: a mistaken believe in the authority of a made-up concept.

In this case, certain norms of conduct in business do exist, and they do often serve all market participants, and businesses have every right, and often succeed, in enforcing them.

I’m not sure about the specific example here, as I happen to live in a jurisdiction where it’s illegal to follow up on a trial subscription with endless marketing emails. But, as just one example, cancelling an appointment you can’t kept us not just “sympathetic”. It’s basic manners, it improves life for everyone (including you), and nobody would be surprised that not following the norm could get you banned.
>the world is broken and requires fixing, and the world should be fixed before the individual is fixed

This is just fundamentally wrong. The correct level of analysis to fix the world is the individual. If individuals aren't responsible for their actions and doing their best in life then the world will never be fixed. By saying that the world needs to be fixed before individuals you're giving people an excuse to not try their best.

This is simply "anecdata".

I too touch type, and simply remapped escape to caps lock, the same as the last 15 years, and moved on. I have had a touch bar since late 2016, and have not missed function keys a single time, while I have several uses for the touch bar.

I would be annoyed if the touch bar were removed, or the trackpad made smaller, or the keyboard made spongier, or any of the other things that people on here like to claim "professionals" want.
Interesting way to look at it, I have never met anyone with that particular way of thinking about children.

Most people I know made decisions about having children in terms of resources. Mainly, about available time and/or money.

I remember paying $1850 for my MBP late 2013 which was the entry model of the 15”. The ”same” model starts at $2800.

Given this was 2013 and I remember Apple increasing the price twice. One time because of exchange rates and one time when they redsigned the line a bit..

Note: I am converting my local currency to dollars (1:10) so the exact dollar value is slighty lower but you all get the idea.
Another interesting one is the Battle of Tsushima of 1905, where the Japanese navy all but destroyed the Russian navy. This affected the power balance in Europe and ultimately contributed to the start of World War 1. It also gave the Japanese an incorrect impression of their military strength, which helped set them on a course to Russia again in 1939.

There is actually some reason to believe that imagining can increase the strength, for example this study: https://web.archive.org/web/20170814100324/http://jn.physiol...

Even if they can have one or two, they’re often busy with a degree or trying to eatablish themselves professionally.

Does anyone? What % of people make any connection at all between the fields?

Firstly this is not a CS or Physics only forum so I would guess the subject could easily have never come up for many (if so for the simpler/non-ML connections see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_in_thermodynamics_and_...).

Secondly I think general awareness beyond formal education has increased in a non-linear way only over the last 20 years only because there has been so much science press around the celebrity of Steven Hawking.

His celebrity alone raises awareness, however it was compounded by drama depicted between himself and others and some really interesting observations along the way (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle).

When all of this publicity has various inevitable Kevin Bacon trails back to the fundamental connections, I’d say the population is not only not everyone but could be much less if things unfolded a little differently.
I extrapolate this to the need for slow transport.
