The 1984 movie did a better job of efficiently explaining what was happening.

Two good examples are the pain box and the slow blade penetrate the shield in training.

While the new Dune movie mention how they work - they just do a bad job of communicating that as effectively as the 1984 movie. To really appreciate this movie, you either needed to have read the book, or watched the prior movie (1984), or the TV mini-series'.

They also introduced things from the book, like how to walk in sand, and the visions of the jihad, but describe them poorly, and leave the viewer wondering why they're even mentioned. It's just badly written.

...but there were other issues with the movie as well. Long useless sequences of sand visuals that added nothing to the story - and that annoying scream sound that left our eardrums ringing, for no other purpose than to try to make the audience feel like an uneventful scene is somehow important to the plot.

A lot of people complained about the voice-overs in the 1984 film but they actually added a lot of value by efficiently introducing concepts to the viewer succinctly - especially the intro in the beginning which sets up the universe.

The best take on this universe after the book is actually SciFi channel mini-series in 2000 and then the Children of Dune in 2008.
Just 1 year later they released the i810 which was Intel first attempt of integrating their own GPU on the motherboard chipset. They didn't get into 'Intel HD graphics', integrated into the CPU for almost another 10 years.
I'm trying to skip politics because I think it's fluff and too laggy. But I'm still at theory level. Ideally I'd find a few open warehouses to set up stuff. Tools, materials, gather smart / knowledgeable people, teach and viral spread the new habits. Hopefully it will cost next to nothing and happen faster than politically impeded initiatives.

You must live in a rural county. There are strict regulations on well depths and aquifers utilized in my area of MD. Two aquifers, one being ~50ft and the other being ~300ft are present, and we have to connect to the deeper of the 2. My neighbor 250ft away has an older house connected to the shallower aquifer.

That said, my residential options for energy are rich. I have the Chesapeake Bay 80ft from my current heat pump. So I could theoretically implement a plethora of heat exchange mechanisms taking advantage of that. Wind power is feasible except for the footprint. Yesterdays 35kt gust may have been a bit much tho. Have waves that could power things also. And mostly unobstructed roof which could host solar. Tidal range is not very large, and current is greatly reduced near shore.
Sort of. The app watches for changes in the fs and builds pages accordingly. It also embeds a small web server that provides hot-reloading. It also keeps a dependency tree to optimize compilation, deals with static files... etc.

Our approach with this product is that less is more. It was a challenge to make something useful without bloating the UI.
Then what was there to redesign?
I feel the Mule was like the Mongols, bring distant realms under one rule, disperse the knowledge and then burn out.

If fiber to the home was widespread, then the market for people who might buy a self hosted solutions would be big enough to be addressable?

Also, it is not an either or scenario. You can still backup to a different location in someone else’s computers. Fiber to the home just gives people the option to not solely depend on others’ computers.
Just that it's harder to compete in a world of quick endorphin hits.
1. Taskbar inability to show Date and Time when using small buttons. Is designed around vertical layout and does not allow for horizontal layout.
2. Show all applications reorders the listing by which application was last used versus Gnome tries to retain the a constant display allowing for muscle memory interaction.
3. Windows and be dragged and show off the viewable area making them hidden and having to move the application onto the screen using arrow keys. Some Linux DE prevent hiding applications off screen area.
4. Taskbar still does not work properly when placed at the top of the screen. Some applications will open up and display the title bar in the area, hiding it behind the taskbar.
5. File System; MFT cannot handle resizing and just keeps growing even when files are deleted.
6. File System; Does not allow for modifying file names or managing files while they are open. Want to rename that PDF files that was downloaded to the title showing in the file? Must type in notepad first or write down then rename while in Linux just read and rename while the PDF is open.
7. Volume display will stay on screen while mouse is over the area which so happens to be a common area for application interaction. Pointless delay of interaction while using another means to raise or lower the volume.
8. Windows updates often requires reboots while reboot is only needed on core features. Often restarting the service or DE refreshes to the newer version without a restart.
9. System registry corruption solution a complete reinstall; files versus central binary repository.
10. Linux allows for a complete move from hardware to hardware using as system rsync with run-time directory and file exclusion and retention of permissions. Windows cannot do this requires a long install time with the inability to have a 100% equal environment to the previous system right away without spending hours re-configuring it.

I'm only comparing commercial os's here, there are linux's that have app stores that bother you and popups about updates and scheduled reboots and icons in your start/dock/panel that you didn't ask for that come with browsers that populate favorites for you automatically and update themselves as well as reset settings between updates so if you turn off the sponsored crap it often turns back on..

You can remove all the crap and make it what you want.

While true. Those are clay deposits. Nobody has yet managed to make commercial clay deposits an actual thing. So Nevada has these theoretical deposits that are large but nobody has managed to mine any. The same goes fro Clay deposits everywhere.

Here we are talking about Spodumene rocket deposit. These are typically somewhat higher grade but they have a proven track record and company with knowledge on how to commercially make lithium hydroxide or carbonade from it.

Spodumene was basically the original source for lithium, that we used to make nuclear weapon and later glass. This was for a long time almost driven out of the market by brine projects (mostly in South America) but the demand for high grade lithium hydroxide has lead to a Spodumene boom in West Australia.
Nope still “breaks my brain”, someone else wrote that this structure is because it would be just sitting in their bank account if they collected it all up front, its not different if its just in mine, unless its invested in liquid assets but if its in liquid assets then it could decline in value in which case I wouldnt have that much to invest.

Agreed - it seems pretty obvious to me that "strawberry poptarts" means "strawberry _flavored_ poptarts". I doubt most reasonable people would interpret this as indicating strawberries must be a primary ingredient.

This is especially obvious when you consider their other flavors. Imagine the alternative HN title "Law Firm Sues Kellogg for Not Enough S'Mores in S'Mores Pop-Tarts".

Intel Innovation Conference – Live
I don't agree with this.

Conspiracy theories are often unprovable. There have been conspiracy theories which were made verifiable after classified documents were made available, for example, but until that happened the theories were unprovable and "rationally" false.

The "rational" part of believing in conspiracy theories is understanding two things: 1) Are the people you accuse of doing X, Y, and Z capable of doing it, covering it up, and getting away with it 2) Just because proof doesn't exist now doesn't mean something won't be proven in the future, i.e. we don't know everything and we never will. We can't only operate on things we prove to ourselves. We have to take some things on instinct.

Calling it yoghurt is such a lie. It’s sugar with some milk!

Not sure about the North American markets but plain old Natural/Greek yoghurt is a good way to avoid tons of added sugar. The majority of them in the UK are not desserts masquerading as sugar. They’re around 3-5% sugar from the milk.

> financial metrics cut through the BS

Negative externalities are not 'BS' though, and may well eventually get internalized at some point, which would then be quite pertinent to the financials.

An example would be a company that has high profits because it eliminates waste by dumping it in the river. Their financials are good, but they don't tell you the whole picture, because sooner or later, something is likely to be done about the waste dumping.
Heliocentrism was proposed in the 3rd century BC. When it was confirmed? Microorganisms were hypothesized in 11th century, were confirmed in 17th century.
Right, it doesn't seem too difficult or unreasonable to treat the value of something used as collateral for a loan as an opportunity to establish its realized value from a capital gains perspective.

This could also help resolve the issue with taxing non-liquid asset values (like homes), in that you hit wealth when it is utilized (easy to judge) rather than when it is generated (often difficult to judge).
I have a weird opinion on this. Markets and industries are complex multilayered systems. Each subsystem tries to be somehow efficient but actually it's not. People are slow, the tools they use are often slow (unless you have serious knowledge and resources on optimizing logistics, throughput, management), their partners are too, and asking optimizations from them will cause friction.

Market might be a minimizing function of some sort but it's a blind one. Very often groups could do 4x more for 4x less just with a change of mindset alone.
So does the idiotic worldview being force fed to us by the media.
Well that's clearly not the intent of the bill and regardless:

> The tax proposal would apply to just about 700 taxpayers,
Democrats say — people who earn more than $100 million per year or who have more than $1 billion in assets for three straight years.

If you have $1 billion in your 401k, you can probably afford the taxation.
2. Anyone who can submit a proposal, and anyone with a decent enough plan and a convincing group of people to execute it gets €250k. Total budget for this phase is €50 million, so this funds 200 ideas.

>Windows 11 Pro: about 11% slower than Linux on Intel Core i9 11900K

I play a lot of games (Windows 10) and haven't found any that runs noticeably better under "Linux" (I usually tried Ubuntu and Manjaro). Best it's on par but sometimes even worse. And the old article with Windows 10 was actually even worse for Windows (15-20%) slower [1]. So this a good article, Windows is improving (or "Linux" getting worse)

> Mental ray is no longer heavily used in the industry for feature films

Mental Ray really isn't used anywhere. It sort of died like more than a decade ago.

Honestly, I used it back in 2003 in the VFX industry, but not since.

You have to be mistaken here. No one uses Mental Ray that I have heard of in production in the last decade. Probably someone does, but not anyone serious.

Autodesk doesn't even sell licenses of Mental Ray and I believe you will find it hard to buy them from NVIDIA as well: https://www.autodesk.com/products/mental-ray-standalone/over...

Are you thinking iRay? Still made by NVIDIA and uses GPU acceleration.

The default renderer in Maya, 3DS Max is Arnold these days, others use V-Ray, RedShift, Octane, RenderMan, etc....

Bell Labs was only pseudo private. The government required they have that research lab in exchange for being allowed to have a monopoly. One should also consider that institutions like that were partly so productive for being at the right place and time in history, when we were developing the tools to exploit the low hanging fruit nature has to offer us. That whole era, we snatched it all up quick. Spaceflight and such didn't stagnate after because we turned to idiots, but because mass and aerodynamic drag and Newton impose pretty inalienable constraints.
It’s a stretch to say that yogurt is what companies like yoplait, danon and gogurt market. Sure they will claim it, but it’s pretty much false advertising for gelled sugar goop.

Plenty of features get in the way of performance. Or are you suggesting we should ditch animation, modern font rendering, file metadata, all permissions checks, most low level security features (ASLR, stack protection etc.), Spectre protection, high resolution displays, USB, frequency stepping, etc. etc. etc.
Maybe we should have a specific .metadata section in assembly so we can ignore the timestamps when diffing for reproducible code.

All You Need to Know About Software Development Cooperation Models
I think we're just seeing a sector getting used to a systemic shift from for-profit vetting by name brand publications and universities to a freer publication system with lower average quality. As an engineer I'm a consumer of science publications and the way I get what I need has definitely been affected by this.

We'll figure it out eventually.
I've been running Windows 11 since the public preview started and not once on any of the machines I'm responsible for has it rebooted without telling you it will be rebooting or needs to restart. During the preview, you accepted the terms that they did weekly and sometimes biweekly releases that required reboots (because they were often flighting tests of improving the process) - and since release its just been patch tuesday updates.

There are no ads in start menu.

There are no ads in lock screen

MS Teams is just like google hangouts/chat or imessage - you can disable it if you wish but on modern OS's - they tend to favor including communications apps.

Telemtry changes done via GPO have only been reverted by mistake and the policy would be re-applied if managed by a policy management system, but you can also block telemetry with NextDNS, Pi Holes and other edge network stuff if it really offens you.

This is not consumer hostile. Windows 11 is a HUGE improvement for consumers. They get Windows, They Get Linux (WSL) - They're getting Android App store in beta now. They get an OS that runs on commodity hardware, that gets updated, stays current and patched. That patching typically happens on patch tuesdays - which is cyclic and predictable. It's been that way unless there is a major security patch that is an exception in which case it is best to apply it and deal with the reboots.

None of which are consumer-hostile.

The consumer enjoys that on a windows device they can use multiple devices and have a shared experience. That is the same demand they enjoy in Android and the same demand they enjoy in MacOS - which is why i referenced those vs say a vanilla dry linux that doesn't do that by default.

Intel i740
—-
Good throughput, good fillrate, good quality, good features.
A very competent chip. I wish intel great success with the 740. I think that it firmly establishes the baseline that other companies (especially the ones that didn’t even make this list) will be forced to come up to.

Voodoo rendering quality, better than voodoo1 performance, good 3D on a desktop integration, and all textures come from AGP memory so there is no texture swapping at all.

Lack of 24 bit rendering is the only negative of any kind I can think of.

Their current MCD OpenGL on NT runs quake 2 pretty well. I have seen their ICD driver on ’95 running quake 2, and it seems to be progressing well. The chip has the potential to outperform voodoo 1 across the board, but 3DFX has more highly tuned drivers right now, giving it a performance
edge. I expect intel will get the performance up before releasing the ICD.

It is worth mentioning that of all the drivers we have tested, intel’s MCD was the only driver that did absolutely everything flawlessly. I hope that their ICD has a similar level of quality (it’s a MUCH bigger job).

An 8mb i740 will be a very good setup for 3D development work.
