Vast majority of the FPV systems out there are indeed monoscopic. Stereoscopy is too resource-intensive for FPV, and it never caught on.

The only viable digital system out there, DJI’s Air Unit and their Goggles, is really pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with available silicon, and they can only do a single-channel 720p low latency video stream over the air.

Attempting to do digital FPV in stereoscopy would require additional compute on the encoding stage, and an additional Tx on the air unit. The AirUnit is rather chunky as it is, so having something that can do 2 simultaneous 720p channels would hardly be viable for a 5” drone, let alone 3”.

It would also use extra radio channels too, halving the number of available channels (determining how many pilots can fly simultaneously; currently at a max of 8 - at least theoretically).

The rest of video systems on the FPV market are still analog (in PAL/NTSC).

Interestingly enough, a few years ago a rather obscure Chinese FPV brand Skyzone had goggles which supported a stereo FPV camera block.

Basically, their rig had two cameras, each transmitting over its dedicated video Tx, and the goggles were equipped with two video Rx (VRx) units, each capable displaying video on a separate goggle display (left/right eyepiece). Most analog VRx units used for FPV today have two separate receivers, but they are used in ‘diversity’ mode, where they are tuned to the same channel. Skyzone also had twin Rx setup, but they could do both diversity and stereo.

Thinking of it today, it was an amazing piece of speculative innovation that FPV is rife with, but as I said: it never caught on.

People that used it were like ‘wow, it’s different...’ but I never saw anyone do a build with that for something more than a ‘Hey look: stereo FPV’ type of YouTube videos.

My guess is: you need to get rather close to stuff in order to be able to perceive depth afforded by a stereoscopic system with cameras set at a distance small enough to fit on an FPV drone. Possibly a bit too close, for an FPV drone. So it never really made sense I guess, and so it never caught on...
This isn't capitalism.

The middle class has been made wealthy by the government/Fed. The government is doling out cash at a furious pace.

Honestly, I have never seen the price mechanism function this badly in my investing career (10 years). And I studied economic history, and there are relatively few parallels to what the govt is doing now.

Whatever happens though, this isn't capitalism. Failure is the most important part of capitalism. The politics of today mean failure cannot occur.

Btw, to be specific, the stuff you are seeing in private equity (not just in the US but Europe) is just totally insane. Gambles that should have failed are returning 10x, money is being raised for non-productive purposes at 2% whilst you have consumers struggling for finance. The homeless situation in the US is intolerable. Some US cities are third-world, every bridge has people in tents underneath.

I can see why people think the system is working, it has made the already rich unimaginably richer...it isn't capitalism, it is an aristocracy. It is appalling that some people justify their theft by saying they deserve it (an unfortunate consequence of capitalism is that the winners feel justified).
Those tricks are dangerous though. The whole goal is to ensure the Russian authorities don't care what you do. Attack someone not in Russia and they don't care, but if you make a mistake and the Russian police will come knocking.
Kraut has a fantastic video on the topic -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhMAt3BluAU

While its title relates to Trump, the video is much moreso about Chinese history and culture and what brought them to the position they're in today.
Isn’t that in line with the GME community. They also bet against the short sellers
I definitely acknowledge the DC cases are the ones that are most likely to be psychogenic. I just found it interesting that different dogs were allegedly affected both there and overseas. And as for Polymeropoulos in particular, I'm not sure.
Good luck.. GME's market cap is a tiny fraction of Tesla's, it would take a whole lot of WSB's to move Tesla.

Yes. I would say that the population was made up of people who wanted to do politics, the ones that wanted to do research without interfering with anyone, and the ones who left for industry because they wanted to at least be well paid and not look at each euro back and forth.

I would say that the second population was good to brilliant, but somehow unfit for the real world (that was theoretical physics, mostly). The latter was usually quite good, and especially aware of their capacities.

The first one was a disgrace to science. I had exchanges at levels I am ashamed of (a professor told me once that my field (modelization, that was in the early days of neural networks) has nothing to do with science and is for wimps. To what I told him that it indeed requires a minimal amount of intelligence, so some just do not get it). "Quelle ambiance, quelle ambiance" as we say in France - we had a few more of these exchanges, between the God Of The Dept and the slimy PhD subhuman that I was :) In retrospective, that was a good training.
Actually, this will likely be unpopular here, short sellers do have an important role in the economy. In the case of GME and more recently short sellers have been making money on crushing viable businesses (which they should not be allowed) but historically they expose fraudulent companies.

I don't like companies getting pushed out of business by big short sellers or making money but just publishing bad research under guise of shorting a company. I also detest fraudulent C-suite executives.
Yeah, but go to the commodities market and everything you said has already been priced in.

What you need to predict is "what opinions will change over the next year". Does lumber really deserve its ~300% increase? Or is that overestimating the shortage? Maybe Lumber's proper price is ~250% above the norm, so maybe shorting lumber futures is the best move.

Or maybe the lumber shortage will continue to get worse: maybe 400% above the norm is going to happen. I'm not a commodities trader, so I really can't speak the specifics (just talking general wishy-washing feelings here). But that's the rub: knowing whether to buy or sell before everyone else does it.

---------

If its "obvious" that lumber will remain highly priced over the next few years: does it make sense to buy up old lumber mills across the country and start spinning them up again? How many years will these old lumber mills have to run before they churn a profit? Or will higher labor costs cut back on said profits?

Its not easy to predict the future correctly.
Slight tangent, but I much preferred the trend of language names being letters, gemstones, animals or coffee related, and something about programming languages names being commonly used woman names makes me uneasy. I don't know why, there's some sort of uncanny valley about it, some kind of scifi-esque AI-love cringe to it reminding me of the movie Her and the likes. I'm not dismissing the technical merits, and Julie sounds interesting, and I'm quite fond of Julia and Janet langs, but I've noticed this name trend and there's something interesting about this meta-social trend of using woman names for them.
I feel like police forensic techniques are still stuck in the dark ages. I'd imagine there are similar issues with disregarding chance of false positives to make convictions easily in:

- drug analysis

- DNA segment matching

- digital forensics

- lineup identifications

- police sketches

Right, high hats are a source of transients which get smeared because there’s a minimum block size in mp3 that is somehow too big to encode it temporally.
Low.

For me, SoC power draw when compiling apps is usually around 15 to 18W on a M1 mac mini.

My example app (deadbeef) compiles in about 60 seconds on that mac mini.

On a 2019 i7 16” MBP (six core), it takes about 90 seconds, and draws ~65W for that period.

So… radically more power efficient.

Dog searches should require consent or a warrant, IMO. Too many cases where the dog is "alerting" based on cues from the handler and not an actual presence of any substances.
From the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_Hans

>He discovered this artifact in the research methodology, wherein the horse was responding directly to involuntary cues in the body language of the human trainer, who was entirely unaware that he was providing such cues.

Drug dogs are an end run around probable cause (as the article states). Modern policing is rotten to the core and needs to be abolished. An entirely different system needs to replace it, a system more focused on helping people instead of terrorizing the vulnerable.
"I'm A Believer" is still a pretty popular song.

Fascinating! But it replaces one question with another:

It has? The vast majority of court cases were thrown out on procedural issues, not basis of fact.

This is something any US citizen should be concerned about, if not outraged. There is no 4th amendment if a cop can just have a dog with him, or say "I smelled weed", etc. The cops even joke about it, referring to the dogs as “probable cause on four legs”. The root problem is credulous or complicit judges who let this evidence be introduced. We need them to throw out these cases.
I admit I only noodle around with DAW software. I think the most demanding thing I've run on this was cubase with about 8 tracks + effects + analog mix in. cpu was at about 50%.

Please read the GQ article I linked above if you haven't (https://www.gq.com/story/cia-investigation-and-russian-micro...). I understand if you're still skeptical after reading it, but it'd be helpful if we could be working off of the same information so that we won't need to use any contrived example scenarios.

But I definitely acknowledge the DC cases are the ones that are most likely to be psychogenic. I just found it interesting that different dogs were allegedly affected both there and overseas.
> That implies that _I_ am correct. You do understand that right? Unreal can conclude that their mark isn't being damaged. "Not suing Nreal" is not that same as "a complete failure".

I would agree if Nreal were a supermarket chain or an airline (as in that case there's a real separation, this is the reason why you have Linux detergent), but since Nreal is (arguably) in a gaming business Epic's lawyers might decided that it's too close to their own trademark. If a future case have concerning the "Unreal" trademarks would have been filed by Epic and the defense have brought up passing-up of Nreal's trademark, the court could have ruled that Epic did in fact not enforced its "Unreal" trademarks and even paved the way to genericize them.

I swear Spotify used to let me browse my library by Artist and only show me the songs I've liked/added for each Artist. But now when I view my library and navigate to an artist, I just get the public artist page.

You're not the only one. This alone is making me want to switch away from Spotify.

Why is it so hard to browse my library by artist?!
Dog searches should not be used as evidence unless the dog has been certified testing both false positive and false negative rates.

That's simply a facile comparison because most of the fuel is needed to get out of the atmosphere. The energy required for that 0.0005% distance is nearly 66% of the total.

Let's say it takes ~8 minutes to get to LEO vs 4,380 minutes to get to the Moon. That's a factor of ~550x longer flight time for a distance 2000x further.

Alpha Centauri is 1500x further away than Mars. It currently takes ~7 months to go from Earth to Mars (at 25,000 mph), assuming similar scaling that comes out to only 400x the flight time, or just about 230 years.
A nation is a body of people that believe they are similar (usually ethnicity or language.) "An imagined community".

A state is the entity that taxes people, builds roads, maintains a military. It has a "monopoly on violence" in a particular territory.

A nation can be stateless - like the Kurds or Uyghurs. They have a cohesive self-identity, but lack their own state. Colloquially, "nation" can also mean "country" - think "national champion", but this more specific meaning exists as well.

It's rarely necessary to use the term "nation-state". Just using "state" is fine. I suspect people like using it because it has a nice ring to it and sounds serious.

My guess is there are power constraints. Higher bandwidth would require more processing power and memory usage which would kill battery life.

Unfortunately 'we' are not very bright as well, and by 'we' I mean the general public of any nation, including us.

We are very susceptible to messaging. Even simple things. Just a basic quasi-factual statement about Taiwan, planted in pop-culture, can influence us.

"Taiwan has been part of China for Millennia" that's technically true and helps the populist China case. Just reading that etc. can help move the needle.

I'm less concerned about their propaganda as I am their control of apps.

Media, historically, much like the financial system and telecoms, public works etc. has had national protections. There's a reason the CBC/BBC exist.

I'm very wary of foreign control of media. If you live in a small country, you probably have more sensitivity to it, as Netflix comes to dominate your creative landscape, it's a real issue.

TikTok is a much bigger concern than most people realize, although it's not an existential concern yet.
Again, all those restrictions were typically implemented at the same time - distancing, capacity limits, masking, etc.

It's going to take time and years of research to tease out things like "did closing schools specifically help".
Second about this. I thought Plex would be overkill at first, but Plex is fantastic for streaming personal music library over internet (especially with Plexamp). One of its best feature IMO is you can make it automatically transcode music to Opus when streaming over cellular or download them locally as-is, saving all headaches of syncing to iDevices.
Plus, it's my impression (it could be very effective marketing by the lumber industry) that lumber trees are quickly grown and chopped in farms and controlled logging. And the next tree is planted.

I'd guess that construction is probably a pretty good sequester for the wood/carbon in terms of length of service, and likelihood for controlled recycling or burial after its done.

The logging industry is likely incented to maximize the carbon sequestration rate: which is growing trees producing future lumber.
Might be some type of automation / tool adding a bunch of TODOs (as part of a migration?) which are then automatically removed in a later step.
> In any case, the point I am trying to make is that in every state, in every business or organization there's a certain horizontal line separating political appointees on the top from the technocrats on the bottom.

> One way or another, the line seems to objectively exist. It's hard, for example, to think of an organization where the political appointees are at the bottom of the hierarchy and the technocrats on the top.

This is an almost tautological realization. When people talk about "politics" in this context, they mean in the sense of (pulling from OED) "actions concerned with the acquisition or exercise of power, status, or authority." Who are the people at an institution who have the power, status, and authority? Well, it tends to be the ones interested in actions concerning it. There's nothing that says such people can't be subject-matter experts. But if you lock yourself in the proverbial basement and ignore the power structure, then you're less likely to take an active role in it.
If the system call is being handled by core 1, what does core 0 do? It must somehow wait for the core 1 system call to return. I'm not sure the waste created by waiting is outweighed by cache benefits.

"arguable"
"might decide"

So...they have a choice?

There is nuance to all legal cases. There is nothing in trademark law that says you have to sue anyone who arguably might be infringing on your trademarks. Everything is a balance. Everything is a choice. This case is no different. Unreal absolutely did not need to do this. I understand why lawyers who might want your billings might tell you otherwise. I don't understand why random uninterested parties on the internet would though.

Favorite feature of Fish shell is `abbr` abbreviate. Which expands the abbreviations after <enter> or <space> allowing it to reveal the magic behind it, for screensharing/observability and for modification. I use it with --long-options too so the abbreviations are more self-documenting.

e.g. `abbr --add --universal -- gg 'git log --graph --oneline --all'`
This appears to be an appeal to emotion. The risk from polio was also almost negligible, if these numbers are accurate.

Also, if as suggested by the wording these numbers are looking at the risk to kids then it's not a fair comparison anyways, as the 1% number (already hyperbolic) quoted for COVID is across both vulnerable and not-vulnerable populations.

I for one do not find myself needing to display compassion for numbers as I reserve my compassion for actual human beings. To mangle Douglas Adams, being overly concerned about IFRs is to me extremely odd as on the whole, it isn't the ~~small green pieces of paper~~ statistics that are getting sick.
