Specifically, something like 200+ fps pipelined global shutter. That means you loose less than 1% time between exposures at these high frame rates. But maybe rolling shutter at similar speeds might be able to handle it too... It seems that is mostly trouble if shooting at fast shutter speeds, with a non-stationary scene/camera, due to the wobble e.g. periodic roll shake causes.

I am convinced that at a young age we experience things in a way very similar to a psychedelic state. I always thought babies are in more of a DMT-state (my experiences smoking NN-DMT gave me this belief) and I guess as they get older, they slowly come into reality, so between 2 and 5, I guess it is more of an acid/mushrooms level of experience.

I just feel like comparing a baby's experience to someone on lsd would likely mean language/models don't exist, therefore self doesn't exist, logic doesn't exist therefore cause and effect don't exist, or at least everything our natural vocabulary/modeling structures allows us to connect with, like you are saying.

Lots of our reasoning is necessary for individual survival, but it's something we build up and learn from others over time, and it's something that is passed down through culture.

I would just imagine that being a baby or being on lsd is similar to no ways of chopping the world up, and no deep rooted ideas of the true nature of our experiences. I don't think you need drugs to get there or need to have/be a baby. I don't think it's much different than the purpose of attaining enlightenment, from the Buddhist perspective.

People have incorrect intuitions of how the government and democracy works. They respond positively to solutions that are overly simplified.

They see person problems instead of system problems. They want to solve issues one by one instead of using general principles.
But the land price will dictates the price of the house built on the land, no?
Another problem with coping mechanisms is that they can prevent you from solving the underlying problem. They're good when they're absolutely needed, but we should be wary of transplanting them into situations that do not need them.

You could think of approaching this result by dividing 1 by an ever smaller and smaller number and the result is getting bigger and bigger, with no end in sight, as you can always come up with a smaller number, never reaching 0.

There are several places in physics where you encounter infinities, the most prominent case probably is the aforementioned uncertainty principle, which leads to 'loops' in QED and need to be countered by renormalization[0].

China is not a great counter example. Chavez actually did things to redistribute wealth, and when certain goods got too expensive they fixed prices, and when the businesses failed or refused to operate at a loss they were nationalized.

China has a state plan and they invest in businesses. That means they provide resources to businesses instead of taking them away. Maybe that sounds like just better implemented socialism. Or maybe it's just literal capitalism on a scale never before seen. Think about it. What does the government of China provide to its citizens? If you are poor in China, will the government take care of you? No. It might provide you with a job, though. The USA is more socialist than China, the government will provide food, housing and even medical care for you and your children. You cannot be refused from an emergency room because you cannot pay. A few extremely wealthy people run China, and make decisions that are in their best interests. They invest their capital to get returns. Sounds like capitalism to me.
Except it’s also negative infinity.
The first time I saw it, I was suprised to learn that the evaluator is based on text transform: evaluation is a fixpoint where basically each match of "{[^}]*}" is replaced by its evaluation. The regex ensures values at the deepest level of nesting are evaluated first: http://b2b3.free.fr/lambdaspeech/meca/JS.js
Yet things got a lot worse after Chavez's continued nationalization of industries, kicking out those foreign companies and replacing workers with Chavistas.
Good advices. And we should repeat this: there's no need for putting extreme weight on bars. Repetitions, series and rest time are golden here. You can do wonders with 50-80kg deadlifts (not when starting weight lifting), no need to go after 150/200kg. Same goes, for example, for bench press: failing alone (which should not happen) under 30/50kg is very manageable, but the same under 150kg can cost your life.

Recently worked on a CPU JIT targeting x86-64 host as well, so had some fun reading the source code. I was delighted to discover it to be pretty much as simple as it can be.

The author is lucky brainfuck is so simple, no need for the hairy generic MOD/RM [0] addressing mode encoding.

Of course instruction encoding is far from the hairiest part of the process of JITting. Data flow simplification (= don't generate unnecessary intermediates, like target architecture flag register bits that never affect execution), register allocation and instruction selection are pretty complicated optimization problems.

Oh, and indirect calls and jumps. How you'll hate those when writing a CPU JIT... Especially those that very inconveniently jump in the middle of a previously generated JIT trace.

[0]: MOD/RM is has four modes (MOD).

One for simply accessing a register. Three for addressing memory through pointers in various ways. The most complicated case is SIB (scale + index + base) addressing mode. In C, it'd be something like:

addr = (reg1<<scale) + reg2 + <immediate>;

Where scale is 1, 2, 4 or 8, <immediate> value is a signed 8 or 32-bit value. Reg1 can't be SP/ESP/RSP due to encoding limitations.

Some x86(-64) register combinations can't be encoded directly, so the encoder will need to play around and possibly "upgrade" the addressing mode to a more complicated SIB version.

For more curious, this page was very informative for writing my addressing mode encoder:

There's another essential factor that people just don't seem to be talking about - the decline of print. You don't need 40 megapixels of useful resolution if your photos will be viewed on a 2mp iPhone screen. You don't need a sensor with 14 stops of dynamic range if your images will be displayed on a screen with 6 stops of dynamic range.

Sensor quality matters much less than it did at the beginning of the DSLR revolution, because the bottleneck in the image chain lies elsewhere. The vast majority of photographers rarely if ever print their images, so most of the advantages of a large sensor are rendered moot.
Actually it gives every State a presidential election of their own. Each candidate must win the majority of the States votes. When you tell a lie that is so easily refutable it causes you to lose lifelong moderates like me. Hardliners are already voting for your side. Lying about the function of the Electoral College just makes you look stupid or calculated and malicious my instincts tell me it's the latter.

It's been a long time since I've done any physics and there is absolutely no rigour here, but the (extremely useful) Dirac delta function comes to mind. You can think of it as being infinitely tall and infinitely thin, but with unit area. If you tried to divide the "area" (1) by the "width" (0), you'd get the height (infinity).

Back when Apple sold a $50,000 enterprise Java framework that included a full Windows port of Cocoa.
It's sad that these DSLRs can't yet use the real fast video-mode non-binned sensor readout to just buffer 3 wide bracketed exposures to RAM and then write them out slowly. One of those exposures will be rather long anyway...
Shooting HDR quickly has the benefit that while you want something to reduce rotational shake, you don't need to be much longer in the position than the exposure time itself dictates. You can use the time you need to move to a new angle/direction to compress and store the RAWs, as barely anyone has hardware capable of yanking the camera to a new angle in a few milliseconds, just alone due to the power density needed to have something able to do this compact enough for casual handling. Imagine it like a much, much faster clockwork, with the purpose to deliver dozens of kilowatts for a few milliseconds to accelerate the camera and slow it right back down. Almost no one has such a thing that would keep the device steady during the exposure, but permit very short spacing between exposures that change the direction it is pointing by more than 20% FOV. If you were to rotate the camera that fast at over 50fps, good luck with the light you need (hint: your lens can't provide DOF at the aperture you need to do this even in full sunlight (sunny 16 rule)).
Essentially, the problem is not with computers, but with languages.

If your language lets you build a neverending loop/datastructure/etgc, then you cannot prove halting for all the programs that can be made by the language.

Since such languages exist, then by extension, it applies to computers.
This seems to be conflating dispersal to multiple star systems and trade/regular interaction with the newly colonized planets. Given that it would take 40 years to get a reply to a message, discussion wouldn't be the normal pattern - by the time you see an insult/aggressive message, there is a reasonable chance that whoever sent it is now either regretful about it, or dead, or, most likely of all, has completely forgotten about it.

Colonized planets in different star systems are effectively alone, able to receive old news, and potentially get deliveries of new colonists or technology every once in a while, should anyone on another planet send some. For anything urgent, it would need to be dealt with without calling back home - whether that is disease, local war (e.g. within the star system), or simply resource shortages - there just isn't a suitable way to top them up from elsewhere.

That same limitation means that taking war to another planet is unfeasible - even if you're just redirecting asteroids, the target planet would be able to see them coming, and, importantly, has had as long as you have had, plus the travel time of the rock, to master manipulating rocks in space. Similarly, while you could target computer systems (interstellar cyber warfare), the most recent details about their computers you have is dependent on the last message you received - computer viruses from 20 years ago don't work on modern computers without quite a bit of effort to make them run, and even if you get them to run, the effects are limited.
It's not ineptness. It never was, never is and never has been. It's deliberate. This is a textbook example of how power has been weilded throughout history. Your angry because you assume the goal should be to make everyones lives better. Maduro's goal is to make his life better and
to keep the ability to do so for as long as he can. To that end his policies have been effective. The consequences have been horrific for the people, but he doesn't give a fuck. He's only in it for himself.

I grew up in Brazil in the 80's. There was hyper inflation, though not quite up to the 1M percent level that Venezuela is facing. (1M percent is a collapse, something else entirely)

Coping mechanisms:

- Money in saving accounts gets instantly shifted into more stable financial assets so the "returns" are approximately the inflation rate.

- Banks get really good at working fast. We had same-day nation-wide cross-bank settlement of checks.

- "Proxy" stable semi-currencies are used. The government would post several daily indexes like UFIR, TR, which could be used to refer to approximately stable values over a period of time. (one of those indexes, URV, eventually became the currency that is used today.)

- Products don't have prices stamped on them. For example, monthly magazines would have alphabetic codes that could be converted to their actual cost by looking at a table which was updated every few days. (You can see the remains of this system in used book stores where books are sometimes still stamped with small zodiac signs, though the tables are no longer updated)

The basic flow of life is: get paid, _immediately move money to a bank account or you are dead_, get used to the idea that value denominations increment over time. In practice you are constantly thinking in terms of indexes rather than the "real" monetary value.
2. I don't know.

What I'd personally favor is super high income tax brackets for the very rich (income > $1 billion puts you in a 95% tax bracket for everything above 1 billion) and the state getting a percentage of a corporation automatically after it goes above a certain scale (say 5% at 1 billion, 20% at 20 billion), with the restriction on the state's share usage. This should take care indirectly of the "robot production", via the owners. Once you'd do this universal basic income would be interesting.

This should only be implemented if there's some sort of global tax agreement, otherwise the state that does this will have its tax revenue slither away to other countries.

But this needs an attitude of "fixing the state", not "starving the beast". Treat the state as an unavoidable single point of failure and harden it. Checks and balances, more transparency, more direct democracy, etc.

3 & 4. This is already getting super philosophical. I need to follow this phenomenon more, can't really say anything super relevant. Intuitively I'm not sure I agree.

Realistically, it's implications are much bigger for applications that depend heavily on persistent storage, like databases. They make tons of assumptions about persisting to block storage, whereas 3DXP could enable them to function entirely "in memory", so all that block storage specific optimization they have is now working against them. I'm just generalizing here, though.

can confirm. Same with many of my friends. All heavy weed smokers, all used psychedelics. A worrying % went on to have some mental health issues.

Now I know all the pro-weed people say "yeah but it is those pre-disposed to having schizophrenic episodes". Perhaps, but at the sample rate in my experience and others who have met later on the % is far higher than I would have expected to be.

Same for just weed smoking. I post on a music forum, where near all members used to be heavy smokers . And anecdotally, about 80% had mental problems due to weed smoking. The cycle is clear. Heavy weed smoking for years. Stop enjoying it, but have become dependant. Come home from work. Smoke, freak out for an hour, effects wear off, smoke again, repeat. This goes on for 1-2 years before the realisation hits in, smoking is not good for me any more

------------------
for the record all were also poly-drug users, not exclusively smokers, so it could be caused by other drugs or the combination of. But I have no doubt it saying, this is not only people pre-disposed to mental health issues

Division by zero can certainly be given meaning in other mathematical contexts. The real projective line is one example [0]. There are other algebraic structures in ring theory that also have a division by zero, for example a ring with only a zero element. So I would say it depends on your context if something makes sense to do. You aren't ignoring or doing something ill defined, its the opposite (in mathematics). You can do it if its consistent mathematics.

Physicists have very good intuition but sometimes making their statements mathematically rigorous requires extra work. I think a good example is in the history of field theory. Over time the intuition was made into something more formal. The article in the OP discusses renormalisation.
