Many image sensors have a 'windowed readout' function that lets you throw away lots of pixels' data, in exchange for a higher framerate.

So for example, a sensor that 1920px × 1080px × 30fps has the ability to output 62,208,000 px/second - and with the same ADC and MIPI bus, halving the number of pixels can double the number of frames per second.

You'll note this article's demo, 640px × 65px × 660fps = 27,456,000 px/second. So you might plausibly get it a bit larger - maybe 640×120 - but you're not going to get HD resolution at this framerate using this hardware.

(Obviously, there's also questions like exposure time and light levels so it's not quite as simple as I just made it sound)

There are a handful of flagship smartphones that cost under a grand and technically support 960fps at 720p - the Samsung Galaxy S9, Note 9 and S10, along with Sony's Xperia XZ series. They come with a bunch of caveats including very limited recording time of less than half a second. A number of other smartphones advertise 960fps but fake it using software interpolation.

The Chronos 1.4 is very aggressively priced for what it offers, even if it does cost several grand.

That's really the job of the filesystem to protect against corruption using checksums. ZFS will do this and hopefully more will follow. I suppose a file sync tool could detect a change of contents with no change of mtime, but that would be expensive.
APFS still supports resource forks. (They're not as baked-in as HFS/HFS+, though.)

APFS has good extended attribute support. Whereas linux extended attributes might be limited to 64k, APFS extended attributes can be significantly bigger (I just created a 32MB one).

The xnu kernel has some ugly hacks (pre-dating APFS) which make the "com.apple.ResourceFork" available as a file ("/..namedfork/rsrc").

On HFS/HFS+, file/..namedfork/rsrc will always exist (and usually be empty). on APFS, file/..namedfork/rsrc will generate an ENOENT error if the resource fork/attribute doesn't exist.

Stop coddling the rich? The top 20% of earners in the U.S pay a total of 87% of all tax revenue for the government, and their return from that in terms of value of government services relative to taxes paid is much smaller than it is for those in lower brackets. There are many wealthy people who use numerous legal (and in some cases illegal) means to avoid "their fair share" but overall, the numbers show that they pay far more than what most people would call fair in any other context.

It’s a shorthand; “Arabic” or “Islamic” mathematicians were from a wide range of religions, ethnic groups, regions, etc.

It’s similar to the way we call all of the mathematicians of ~ 500 BCE – 500 CE “Greek”, even though most of the later ones were Roman citizens living in Egypt or elsewhere.

Or the way we call Mesopotamian mathematics generically “Babylonian”, even though most of it was from other cities, and some of the relevant developments lumped in are from before Babylon per se existed, done by people of a different ethnic group who spoke a different language.

Or the way Soviet scientists are often called “Russian”.
A bit of both. Corporations can’t lobby for open murder or human sacrifice: they have to hew to popular opinion, as politicians do.

PR and propaganda can sway this somewhat, but not in a limitless way. The single biggest factor blocking more urgent action is human nature: we tend to the short term, we like to be comfortable, and we have a hard time imagining things being radically different than they are.

I am not saying it’s impossible to convince the populace. I only mean to counter the perception that resistance comes only or even largely from corporations.

The article is pretty clear that on the small unit and soldier level the Arab forces are less effective, too. Specialists horde information, soldiers don't train for multiple roles, junior officers mistreat their soldiers, no one shows initiative, etc. There are good reasons for all of this -- it's not an Arab character defect, but a rational response to soldiers' circumstances -- but the author states quite explicitly that an Israeli tank crew can better absorb casualties than an Arab tank crew can because the Israelis are encouraged to share information and train for multiple tasks.

Lets say the internet isn't around yet, and people still use the yellow pages. One day, they decide to charge a 10% tax on all the revenue of a business, if they want to keep their listing in the yellow pages. Those that don't pay, get delisted. There is a competing service, the blue pages, that charges only a few cents for a listing. But it has far fewer readers, so any business that has only a blue page listing, not a yellow one, will see their income drop disastrously.

So they are stuck paying a heavy tax to the yellow pages, even though if the yellow pages were to completely disappear, all the readers would switch to blue pages, and everyone would get the same search/aggregation service, for a fraction of the cost.

That's pretty much the situation with Yelp/GrubHub, and I think that qualifies them as parasites (or rent-seekers, if you prefer).

Of course, but that isn't what this study is about or why it (and other's like it) are important.

> how common is this realistically?

I don't know, hence the parenthetical. It's an interesting question about how many doors the police need to actually pound on before sufficient self-policing kicks in that they don't have to anymore.

I know for me personally, because I am very sensitive to hurting people's feelings, I am hyper-vigilant about this. Whether the odds of it happening are rare or not, my subjective emotional experience is that I worry about it, which in turn leads me to be a little less of myself.

> "Progressive culture" seems too harsh because it hasn't been internalized the way "normal" culture has, and so adaptation to a new paradigm requires peer correction.

I agree with this, strongly. If you want to move a culture from X to Y, you have to sort of aim for some point past Y and do a bunch of awkward deliberate calling out when people aren't moving in the right direction. There are so many inertial forces against change that it takes something like that to make any progress.

So, in general, I try not to get too worried about how progressive culture makes me uncomfortable. It's supposed to. Growth and progress is always uncomfortable, both at the individual and collective levels.

Ok, now I get the point you were trying to make.

The lottery parallel still doesn't feel the most apt; the definition you specify ensures that you will always have such a person (who lived to be the oldest, and who had the largest gap with the previous record holder) for n > 1 people. In that sense it is recurrent, unlike winning the lottery, which no one has until someone does (or winning in a raffle, where we know that there will aways be a winner due to the very definition of the game).

Regardless, none of that helps us determine any further how plausible Calment's statistically anomalous record is.

The mailing list traffic on this topic took the wind out of my sails for wanting to spend my tinker time in Racket. On the one hand, it’s probably overreacting for me to throw in the towel on Racket at just the suggestion of this change. On the other hand, part of what makes me interested in writing Racket for projects where I have broad latitude is the sense that I’m both using an exciting technology, and a technology with a history of relative stability.

By signaling a switch to some bland surface syntax I feel that it’s eroding the exciting part as well as the stability benefits of the language. For data science (the domain I’m most invested in) Julia has attracted a decent mindshare, is lispy (even if not as much as I want), and is fast. Racket with a bland syntax is likely to be about as lispy as Julia, much slower, and have fewer of the data science libraries I care about.

I only have so many hours in my life to dedicate to not-making-money programming endeavors. I was sort of hoping that Racket would be the vehicle for those hours. But right now, I’m worried that Racket is Perl 6-ing itself, and that’s a hard place to spend hours. Especially with people like Greg leaving the community.

A while back there was a thread about a prominent member of the Common Lisp community saying that he’d probably eventually leave CL for Racket. But then later he signaled that he’d settled on Gerbil Scheme. Maybe that’s the right life raft from Racket.
See my presentation at NANOG 76 on that subject.

No, especially when you'd expect that the same qualities that might allow someone to live a very long time would also make them appear "biologically" younger. We don't have rings like trees.

Userspace drivers permit upgrading the kernel to a certain point (depending on how kernel APIs change), but your forever trapped with the bugs and vulnerabilities in the userspace blobs.

Its a step forward in kernel upgradability, but it also takes the pressure off vendors like Qualcomm and ARM to upstream their patches. I hope the kernel continues making significant changes that break out of tree, proprietary drivers.

The harder it is for these players to act in bad faith, the sooner they'll collaborate with the kernel developers and mainline their code.

>When an entity does not honour their commitments, the money starts going to another entity that appears more trustworthy.

Sure, but when in crises, people heavily favor the short term gains of reneging or violating an agreement over the loss of potential future opportunities.

Also using your logic, Chinese companies appear to be quite a bit trustworthy since businesses and individuals continue to do repeat business in China, continue to open up new businesses in China/sign new contracts etc, etc, etc. As you can imagine, the real-world is a lot more complex.

>I'm not sure what kind of timelines you have in mind, but the above is clear if you look at the past few hundred of years of European history. Wars, in particular, have been funded by honoured business commitments.

I'm talking about things like the confiscation of wealth/property, as happened under Edward I or Phillip IV, or the Stuart period (where the crown sold off lands to fund wars, and did not honor agreements for borrowed funds) for e.g.

Certainly nation states with their constitutions and laws have helped stem this unilateral 'dictatorial' approach to governance, but I think that its a bit too early to say that nation states will always be rational actors. Certainly the US, for e.g. has violated a lot of treaties that were signed with the native americans.
This isn’t APRS or amateur radio at all. The article doesn’t call out the band info, but if this is running over 2.4 or 5 GHz, it’s unlicensed spectrum and available for use by anyone.

Sure. But the same generality applies to contracts, especially contracts of adhesion - their results aren't necessarily beneficial to society, or morally good.

Phone unlocking itself is definitely beneficial to society and morally good. An incumbent network provider being able to leverage a small market inefficiency into indefinite bondage is not a good thing, regardless of how its justified. Never mind the e-waste and surveillance issues.
