The camera drops to 12 bit when shooting in some modes such as continuous, bulb, or long exposure. This is true all the way to the A7rIV and the A9II as far as I know. Here's an article with analysis:

The numbers might be similar, but I don't love the comparison due to the ethical differences between the two. There is a lot more shady psychology and manipulation going on with Zynga than there is when a creator of free content starts accepting donations through Patreon. This is especially true when the membership bonuses are setup like Ben's in which they are mostly just being thanked in slightly more elaborate ways as the donation level increases.

I don't understand this sentiment. Why is

1. an allegedly corrupt democratic institution that you personally have influence over which exists to fight for your rights

a bigger problem than

2. a definitely corrupt authoritarian institution run by self-interested plutocrats that exists to squeeze as much free work out of you as possible?
But they weren't the first. They got to be number one by being very smart. Whether they can remain smart enough to stay number one is a different story.
Not related to monitors, but this is how I bricked my old Lenovo Thinkpad W520 4 times. I switched between the Intel and Nvidia GPUs via the BIOS setting enough times to wear out the BIOS chip. I didn't figure out what was going on until my 3rd replacement.
It would seemingly make sense. Although I question whether anyone actually gets prime because of the streaming.
You can decrease your odds of dying by about 50% just by not being over 70 or in a nursing home in a state with a democratic governor off you live in the USA.

Democratic governors were practically executing old folks in droves.

If you look at recent CDC info, they finally put out some data on how many deaths are FROM covid, not with it.

And yes, it's around 6%. Of people not executed by a Democrat governor, that's around 10000 people. So everyone else died while having covid, like the kid who died riding a motorcycle in Florida or ppl with other co morbidity such as cancer, dementia, and diabetes.

Don't worry though, it'll be done in November, unless Trump gets re-elected. Then I'm sure everyone will need to wait for a vaccine because according to the CDC, i mean the news, kids 18-24 are barely surviving this"pandemic"..

Not to mention all the bodies costco has had to bury since they were open during the first few months with no masks. Thankfully they've come up with a better solution than burning workers and shoppers in mass graves, China style..

Yeh no.. There's a lot of people that should feel ashamed and should go to jail, but none of them do and none of them will.
Rubbish. For any given "new patron" relationship, most content is past content. I wrote up how horrible the experience is in a comment on a past thread:

As far as I can tell, Patreon's most compelling attribute is a clever name. If some other company nailed the discovery and "new connection" experience, they'd own the niche. There's a small network effect but I doubt it's terribly compelling since creators can easily exist on multiple networks.

> Police officers and other people in that branch of government never display the kind of serious investigative interest that a plane crash investigator applies. They never approach it with fresh eyes, hoping to uncover and fix root causes.

The point I was making is that a federally created agency conducts investigations completely different than state police departments. (Not all state police departments are funded the same and share the same information about investigations especially internal) they aren't a single entity nor should they be.

The comedian takes two very different things and combines them as one and then tells the audience how absurd his creation is as if it is reality.

And to the "blue wall of silence", from the one study I scanned [0]. I think it exists, but not in all departments as the study finds too. And the only way to combat it (just like with civilians in gang ridden communities) is to have more transparency measures (body cams, anonymous reporting systems etc) and obviously more officers/civilians need to come forward with those experiences in their department/jurisdiction.

Radix Labs | Software Engineers esp. Front End Engineers | Cambridge, MA, USA (Boston area) | Full Time and Co-Op/INTERNS

Biology has talented PhD Biologists spend 5 hours a day on hard to reproduce, unoptimized minutia that isn’t innovative. Radix Labs hopes to accelerate biotech innovation like early compilers did for computing by enabling lab protocols to seamlessly operate and be optimized across physical labs. Our software makes biology reproducible, faster, more efficient, and lets smart biologists focus on the science instead of managing the implementation. We do this by developing a compiler, operating system, scheduler, and device drivers for biology labs and protocols. We have funding from Ycombinator (S18), Firstminute Capital, MIT's The Engine, and Nikesh Arora.

Technologies: 100% Scala code base but we don't require you know it already. (It's helpful if you have past functional programming experience with Erlang, Ocaml, Prolog, Haskell, or similar.) Other tech: HashiCorp stack (Nomad, Consul, & Terraform), Apache Kafka, Akka, ScalaJS React, Z3, Cats, Bazel w/ rules_scala, (some) AWS.

We'll hire smart, good people who are interested in working with us regardless of openings. Right now we're especially looking for a brave, experienced front end developer to lead developing our front end visual programming language that biologists use to describe their protocols to the rest of our software. Come join our world-class diverse, inclusive, and caring team! You won't be the only woman, trans person, non-US citizen, wearer of silly hats, or parakeet! We will consider remote candidates and those who need visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis. We offer equity, great salary, unlimited PTO, medical, dental, and vision insurance, mechanical keyboard budget, and flexible work hours. Any questions, send me an email: halie at radix.bio

The accessed names, addresses and medical status. These are all PII and medical information has even higher level of privacy. You want people to use medical services in confidential, it is safer for everyone that if someone suspects that they have an infectious disease that they have the appropriate medical help.

This is why Drs records and the like are very difficult for people to get, even law enforcement.
Interesting. When I mediated about it a little further that's where I sorta arrived too. The x-axis would be future/past. The y-axis would be different timelines. So if I go from present (0,0) to (2,2), I'd be going 2 clicks into the future and 2 timelines up (whatever that means!).

In Pacman terms, I guess you could program it so that going up or down with the second joystick changes the terms of the game slightly. Maybe the maze configuration changes or in one timeline the ghosts bounce off you when you run into them but the walls themselves zap you.

In a more nuanced conception of the timeline axis, I suppose y-points would have to be branched or braided off x-points. Maybe that's where the third dimension comes in.

I'm sure Egan has worked it out with more rigor. I checked out the link for one of his books above but I admit I blanched when I got to the synopsis:

Seth is a surveyor, along with his friend Theo, a leech-like creature running through his skull who tells Seth what lies to his left and right.

I've got enough on my plate at the moment with the dissolution of civil society. I'm not sure I'm ready to entertain leech-like symbionts confronting the disintegration of time itself.
Yeah, agree about legal prostitution—it’s in practice highly abusive and exploitative. I wouldn’t advocate it as a remedy. But the point there was that there are policies besides incarceration that are super effective at curbing violent crime, and I think it serves well as such an example.

I think the occurrence of incorrigible violent offenders is far lower than most people think. It’s certainly not .7%. We couldn’t get through high school or even a basketball game if that were true. There’s also a lot of evidence that violence is learned, not born, and therefore can be treated.

But I also know there are people out there that are incorrigibly violent, and that state resources are finite and we don’t have the means to fix everyone’s problems. I’m not saying abolish prisons. I am saying legalize soft drugs, put money into education, therapy, rehab, and other social programs, stop imprisoning people for inability to pay fines and other oppressive garbage, don’t give people felonies for nonviolent offenses (unless we’re talking white collar crime), and clean up prisons so they’re not gulags of abuse.
> If it's in the same city, can students just keep living with their parents?

The uni I worked for eventually rolled out that policy after the initial "all freshmen live in dorms now" backlash, but it's a tiny fraction of the student population whose parents live in town. State unis are deliberately located away from the population centers, for obscure reasons involving a mistrust of European politics.

Hi - Does bottlerocket use glibc or something else?
> It's interesting that the NE states seem to now be lauded when actually NJ, NY, MA and CT have the highest per-capita death rates [0] in the WORLD [1] by far despite significant lockdowns, comprehensive & early mask mandates and fairly conservative reopening (e.g. NYC).

Back-modeling what happened in those states showed that the biggest problem those areas had is that (in New York, for example) when they thought they had Case Number 1 on March 1 they already had Case Number 10,000.

Even as late as March 15th, people in the New York mayor and governor's offices were screaming at each other because the data wasn't matching up and cases were appearing with no traceable cause--ie. general populace circulation was occurring.

The problem was that those areas needed to be locking down as of March 1 but because of poor data didn't get locked down until about 3 weeks later. This wasn't unusual: things like SXSW were still playing chicken with everybody until Austin pulled the plug on them--that was only like March 6th or so. And that's not a lockdown, that's just stopping an international travel event.

The sad part is that several states are about to surpass those per capita death numbers for RI, MA, and CT. That's inexcusable at this point.

And I really hope that no other state gets close to NY or NJ numbers. Sadly, unless a couple of those states do something NOW, they're going to.
Okay. When I said that inflation happens when people want to spend and supply isn't there to support it, that could also be due to a collapse in supply, and high inflation does seem to be associated with that, for example in Venezuela and in countries suffering under trade sanctions.

But I'm not sure I want to defend any particular theory of what usually causes inflation. My main point was that inflation (rising average prices) doesn't seem to be inevitable with increased money supply, as simple theories will have it.

I don't know if you want to continue talking, but I'm curious about something: you seem to be pretty certain you know what has usually caused inflation in US history, but you haven't said what what you think about that?

I don't blame you. NVidia's numbers look loaded. But surprisingly it really is a LARGE boost in FPS for games.

- Ray tracing only is not 200% but 195% in real world tests.

- In modern games like Tomb Raider the fps increase is between 165 and 180%, averaging 175%.

This is comparing the 2080 to 3080 playing real world games.

In particular I think the Beothuk in particular might have opinions on this.

There is a good reason to have an honest reckoning with history and then move forward from there, not for the purposes of blame but rather to start with a sound basis in fact for making decisions about the future.

You may want to look at my resume. I've seen what happens when you don't "kill compute no matter what" - When compute does get killed no matter what (hardware problems happen quite often at scale), you have problems. I've also seen it done right. Clearly, Fargate has not - I could also tell you that from having used the service.
Which OS was that that you used?
But then it's like, should we protect people from anti-vaccine messages or other misinformation? Is the only way to prevent societal collapse to have a higher authority step in and protect people who cannot resist temptation from themselves?

I don't know who I would trust to enforce that kind of thing.

A lot of times I do end up wishing there was someone who would set me straight every time I attempted to eat unhealthy or not exercise. But it seems like the imperative in modern society is that you're just going to have to learn to resist temptation on your own, or you're done for - good luck. I don't really understand this, because I can say that I want to improve myself all the time and be fully aware of my mild desire to do so, and be willing to have someone put me on the right path, and simply never get around to it all until it's too late.

And then there's climate change, where I have accepted that trying to convince people to change is hopeless on a large scale. Who is going to be trusted to make the decisions "for our own good," without another yellow vests movement springing out in opposition?
> Giving away that secret sauce in their drivers, so that AMD could make their cards seamlessly compatible would probably be a huge mistake from a business perspective for Nvidia.

I've seen this argument a lot but never from the ML perspective - and I don't think it makes sense with ML.

Nivida's advantage is ML is CUDA and cuDNN, and the huge set of tools built on them. These aren't the driver, but a layer above it.

I don't really understand the "secret sauce" argument for the drivers at all, but I assumed it applied to gaming somehow. I can't think of how it applies to ML though.

While true, what this misses that is discussed in the paper is that some people’s immune systems aren’t able to fight EBV effectively.

Their bodies show high levels of antibodies, indicating an active fight, whereas most people will only have antibodies showing a previous fight.

"read some Marx"... do you have some book in mind? Perhaps some good summary? I hear Capital is hard to parse.

So far my experience in trying to distill Marx is that he did reasonable assessment of the state of affairs at the time (i.e. identifying main classes in society of 1800s), but then his prescriptions of what to do (socialize means of production) did not work out anywhere. Maybe I'm reading wrong books.
