That’s definitely possible, but you won’t be able to do this in real time without more GPU power. And the frame interpolation techniques might not work as well on a desktop recording.

If you can record and process later, you might try recording your desktop in a more raw format. It’ll be very large on disk, but this avoids the need to transcode the recording in real time and strain your GPU/CPU. In ffmpeg just use `-c:v copy` to capture it raw. (Assuming the transcoding is the main limiting factor)
I can say for myself that now I personally study the details of how to make high-quality footnotes correctly and there is really nothing complicated here. I am personally very glad that I have found here the data on how to quote correctly https://justbuyessay.com/blog/mcgill-guide . This is very important now because because of the wrong quote you can even get an accusation of plagiarism. Therefore, I can say that it is necessary to look here and see the details described. I hope it will be useful, write down what you have learned.

I've been using linux since 95, both doing kernel dev and using as desktop. At some point around windows 8 i decided to give windows a try, and purely use windows 10 now and love it for many of the same reasons you mentioned. To me OS wars are over, if someone prefers linux desktop more power to them, but for me anymore I feel like I want technology out of the way as much as possible, and I feel like windows 10 desktop does that for me.
I will concede all those points except for the last one.

> Starlink, the NASA Moon program, commercial sat buissness, SpaceX Mars Plans, SpaceX Space tourism and so on. A cheaper vehicle always has more usage.

Go back to basic college Econ. There is a supply curve and a demand curve. Reusable rockets allows providing the same commodity (orbital transportation) at a lower price.

The problem that everyone seems to subtly know but doesn't like to say aloud is that the demand curve is highly inelastic.

It is completely possible that cheaper rockets result in more usage, but less total revenue. This happens with lots of things. Think about food production, weather is bad, rice harvest is very low during a year in a nation that mostly eats rice. We have historical examples that total value of the crop goes up, despite less being available. That's highly inelastic demand for you. If supply of orbital launch goes up, then total revenue can easy decrease.

In this case, the only way for total revenue to increase a great deal is for genuine innovation to happen. Yes, space tourism, Mars plans, etc. would fit the bill. However, all of these are bets, and I don't think they're particularly good ones. The best bet would be for US government itself to realize what is happening and double-down on the military and scientific windfall they can get from it. I don't feel like this will happen on its own, and the general public isn't engaged enough. I worry that SpaceX's success could usher in its own demise, and we lose out on the opportunity of a generation.
I really like your observation of a "lithium battery age".

But people tend to greatly overestimate how much lithium batteries improve: we remember a class of battery powered devices that ran on NiMH, then at some point LiIon became cheap enough for that use case so that the next generation that we got was so much better. We then extrapolated a fantasy battery improvement speed from that one-time jump and this mistake is rarely corrected. Instead it was supported by the next device class that got absorbed by the ever shrinking lithium price threshold. This process is now about finished, very few NiMH applications left to get "lithiumized". But the fantasy also supported, one a lower intensity but enough to impede corrections, by how the actual actual progress within lithium batteries (not quite as big as we wish, outside of price at least) gets complemented by devices becoming more efficient (think LED flashlights) and devices dedicating an increasing fraction of their mass/volume to the battery (smartphones, laptops, also cars if you compare to pre-Tesla electrics)
Also might add for the tech heads out there, Jraft is the first fully serverless multi-tenant CMS; with the customer backend being handled by serverless functions with the publication being deployed via 'JAMstack' architecture :)

It's how we're able to be around ~5x-50x cheaper than a comparable WordPress deployment, whilst providing way better site performance and UX (300% faster page loads for great SEO).
To be fair, that title really isn't engendering understanding.
Not to muddy the virtual waters here but are the "virtual ephemeral particles" of the vacuum qualitatively different from the "virtual particles" of "electrons and holes" of say semi-conductor physics which are more like mathematical, statistically aggregated entities? Or is the underlying math essentially the same?

How is this any different from the abortion debate? As long as it’s not sentient does it matter? There are far bigger ethical considerations than just this feud. Presumably the monkey pregnant with this fetus wasn’t naturally impregnated, and you didn’t want the monkey to accidentally damage the fetus, so was the monkey caged it even conscious during the gestation period? Lots of horrifying things to consider if you go down there rabbit hole.
Maybe? It might struggle with highly detailed text-heavy workloads though.

How did you come to the estimate of 25%?

Because that difference in distance is the actual reason. The geostationary satellites used for your internet in 2009 are at ~2.5 of the earth diameter above ground (35k km, ca 1.5 earth circumference), whereas the starlink satellites are near the atmosphere (less than driving distance SF to LA). And speed of light is rather slow in these dimensions already.

Free speech produces rational actors.

You rationalizing censorship because the book says something you don't like, or because you might become associated with it, or because it might change what people think to a perspective you disagree with is the EXACT reason why freedom of speech is important.

You have it. The society in which you live held it as a value. It allowed you to make the choices you've made.

It is not rational to say "it's ok for me to have freedom of speech, but it is not OK for 'that author' or 'people with that idea' to have it."

Free speech "works great" regardless of the degree of rationality of the general public, because it allows the rational to speak. It permits ideas to be expressed, digested, rejected. It lets people think. It allows them to further develop their thinking skills.

Again, freedom of speech produces rational actors.

Social media, in the form of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the like are cancerous to our society. They amplify extreme positions. They do this deliberately with algorithms, or as a secondary effect of their primary goal, capturing attention. Sensationalism garners more attention than reason.

It makes people care about things that are immaterial... like hashtags.

Your Twitter handle is not you. Your posts are not you. Your speech is speech. That any one of those may, at some point be associated to a hashtag that only exists in these ephemeral, harmful swamps of societal outflow should matter little. You haven't lost anything real.

But to say that someone should not be allowed to publish, that a book should be banned, that some person should be silenced because someone else doesn't like what they might say, that is damaging to the entirety of society. It denies the advances of the last three thousand years of political philosophy.

The idea that censorship is OK is dangerous. It should be discussed, argued against, and proven, once more, wrong, with speech.

The simplest reason in favor of this stance, is that it let's you be you. You'd never have even been allowed to make the choices you've made in a society that wasn't steeped in the idea of freedom of speech. Such a society wouldn't have produced estradiol, let alone made it available to anyone.

Our horror at the terrible things people say is the required price for our freedom to say the important things that ought to be, that must be, said. Freedom of speech is too important to a civil society to allow anyone's discomfort to have any weight in an argument over restricting it.
Yup, exactly my experience. Linux kernel is less equipped.

On Windows, I find the tinkering insufferable. No, windows, I don't want you to track me. New update? Do it all over again. Advertisements in the start menu? Ever update I have to disable that. Every time I try and fix something broken, Windows forces me to redo it again and again.

I am similarly curious about Rosetta2, but there seems to be very little marketing let alone technical information being made available. All I can figure is that it performs user mode emulation, similar to what QEmu can do, and does not cover some of the newer instructions.

Off topic, my job has been in virtualisation for the last 12 years, thus I am very familiar with the publicly available body of research on this topic. Ahead of time binary translation has been a niche area at best.
Part of changing and improve things is to actually move there to dilute the bigotry But I can understand that one wouldn't want to be the one that has to suffer for the good cause, because it takes generations for things to improve.

The great thing about religion is that it attracts fanatics who are willing to do this work. I wish there was a movement to make the world a better place with missionaries going abroad and to remote places to make people more open minded and less individualistic.
This is the exact opposite of that. HN is hyped for Starlink because it's cool tech, not because it's a great user experience.
I’m a lot older then you but my experience was similar, I went from Windows versions upto 7 to Linux for about 5 years then to mac (Because it just works), I can’t spend my day figuring out why my Linux device didn’t boot.

Then I got a bit sick of Apple, So I tried installing Linux on my macbook. Some things didn’t work like randomly opening the laptop and nothing appears on the screen.

It was ok, but I missed critical apps like, iTerm2, Tableplus, Nice email client like Mac Mail etc. (Today might be different to when I tried this 3 years ago)

Then WSL 1 came out and I thought i’ll try windows again, purchased a surface, but the UNIX features just wasn’t compatible with what I needed.

In the end I purchased a new Macbook Pro again.

WSL 2 might change things and I might end up back on Windows one day, but I really wish I could simply just use a Linux distro as a desktop daily driver, that’s my ultimate desire.

For now I use a Mac. For two reasons, It 99% of the time just works and great app support and it’s unix subsystem.

Sorry but you're wrong, dedicated 1:1 capacity scpc geostationary links will always be 492-495ms rtt ping latency between teleport and far end. Latency will never be less than the laws of physics and modem FEC dictate, but jitter will be very low.

If you saw a lot of jitter it was because you were in an oversubscribed, contended tdma network. What was your terminal hardware, what modems were you using and what was the rf chain and modem setup at the far end (not in Afghanistan)?

Latency on terrestrial ptp microwave also does not vary. Ducting and diffraction and temperature inversions on long 6GHz links affects rsl and modulation, not latency.

In the case of starlink, each satellite is functioning as a bent pipe relay between cpe and starlink earth station. Latency will vary a ms or two based on satellite position during a pass overhead, but no more than that. The rest of the latency is the same as from any terrestrial internet customer in the same geographic location as the earth station. For instance one of the beta test earth stations is in north bend, wa, colocated with a level3 long haul dwdm site.

People in WA have been posting tests with latencies of 25-26ms to speed test servers in downtown Seattle. That's actually really, really good, considering that latency to your default gateway on a residential cable docsis3 coaxial connection can easily be 16ms on a terrestrial connection. North bend is a few ms from seattle, the brewster starlink teleport site several ms more.

In the case of starlink they are competing against 32:1 or worse oversubscribed geostationary consumer grade vsat services like viasat and Hughesnet. Starlink is far superior tech.
American here. My underfunded school taught us this in 6th grade. We even cut orange peels to learn the different projections.

That was the 90s. Public schools have really gotten shitty.
It is also worth noting that propagation velocity in glass fiber is about 60% slower than free space. Once the constellation is dense enough and OISLs are working, they'll be able to undercut fiber latency. That is, if they actually decide to route signals in a purely latency-optimized manner. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some sort of tiered pricing related to latency and latency jitter.

No doubt the scummy high frequency traders are already jockeying to get out in front of this change in the telecom industry.

It might work, if you truly trust whoever signs up. The fundamental issue is that there's just one encryption key for the whole database, and you need to provide it to everyone who you want to have access to encrypted data. If you stop trusting someone for any reason your only recourse is re-encrypting the entire database, which is a painful offline operation. (You might also be able to support multiple encryption keys -- one per user, say -- but the library isn't really set up to make that convenient right now.)

Elon Musk may or may not know it yet, but his biggest contribution to humankind will not be that the Starship will take us to Mars, or that Tesla will help us shake off the dependency on fossil fuels. His biggest contribution will be to bring the end of the MAD world. The Mutually Assured Destruction world in which the majority of the living people were born, and never thought it will ever end.

You see, in the '80s the US had a missile defense idea called Brilliant Pebbles [1]. Basically they would put about 10k to 100k small missiles in orbit and these missiles would detect ICMB launches and go and destroy them. The problem was the economics of the system. It was simply too expensive. And because of that it was very easy to counter it: it was cheaper to build a few additional ICMBs than to add the necessary "pebbles" to neutralize them.

But SpaceX changed this calculus. It's now much easier to put things in LEO. And it will become cheaper still. It is very likely that in 10 years the Brilliant Pebbles will become economical. And if they do, they become obligatory. Because it will be only a matter of time until Russia (or maybe China) builds the capability of cheap space launches that will match SpaceX. And if they do, and build the Brilliant Pebbles first, then the US will find itself in a very unenviable position.

So in a very near future someone from the Pentagon will approach Elon Musk with an offer he won't be able to refuse. And why would he? Being part of the thing that ends the MAD will be certain to net him a Nobel Prize for Peace. And he will definitely be worth it.

My experience with linux has been great so far
I started out with ubuntu and then switched to manjaro with i3

Overall I loved i3 window manager as it made things much easier and keyboard centric

But after using macbook for a while I am leaning towards it as it works like a charm and I can do everything what I did on my linux.

Linux is great and one thing I like about it is that it’s highly customizable but sometimes you don’t wanna be spending countless hours customizing your environment you just want something that just works that’s just my opinion

Overall my experience has been great with linux but sadly i can’t run adobe suite on it :(
