> being freed of the constraints of an engine

I am going to suggest the opposite: subject yourself to more constraints. Try programming on a retro-fantasy console like Pico-8 or some of its free alternatives.

I found the (sometimes ridiculous) restrictions very liberating. In exchange you get raw immediacy. I want a game with a chicken on it. I spend doodle something with the 8-bit 8x8 bitmap editor. I draw it with 1 line of code, 4 more lines to control with the arrow keys. Total time: maybe 2 minutes.

This radical immediacy is something I really missed in more unconstrained environments. I would get analysis paralysis "should it be a male or female chicken? what shader should I use to properly render the chicken wings when there's rain".
There is no "correct" when you are shifting images from infrared to visible. But the "real science" part is probably done with a perceptually uniform color map. Or in the many cases where the image we see is actually a composite of many images taken with the narrow-band IR filter at different central wavelengths, the image might be presented with gaussians of different color corresponding to the different wavelength images. Or each wavelength is considered separately.
I was in Colombia recently, where Uber is officially illegal. That didn't stop most of the gringos from using it. Crazy how this is still how Uber works in many countries.
Not that I'm complaining since I hate jpeg compression, but you'd think that if they were concerned about bandwidth, they wouldn't use png...
This actually doesn't make sense. Any trusted code can absolutely run on a trusted processor, and the usual timesharing methods will handle your stackoverflow tabs.
A lot of DRM (eg the one by denuvo) could be bypassed with hooking from kernelmode, hypervisor shenanigans etc.

But that doesn’t comply with the „scene rules“, they always want a clean executable without any background services. I was always impressed by Razer1911 and CPY who obeyed these rules and did all this work just for clout.
My friend, a very talented photographer, has the Z9 and thinks it is simply the finest camera on the market. His recent imagery seems to confirm this.

>so we get an image that depicts a reality we can visually process

Since we can't visually process spectrums other than visible, there's no "correct" way to show the image.
But that argument suggests Uber could exploit them if Uber were morally bankrupt.
> What type of game? I think this should follow the old style. Ie. some small puzzle elements (but not too hard), some maze-style levels, levels where you do not just go from left-to-right but in any directions, where you collect key cards or whatever, activate some mechanisms etc. Maybe it's a bit like Tomb Raider.

Hm, I've been thinking that some format like Super Mario 64, or Super Mario Galaxy, or A Hat in Time would fit how the Keen games worked very well. Using the Bean'n'Bacon-Rocket to cruise between different planets and space stations, chasing hints for the mighty Mortimer, solving puzzles of some difficulty, possibly with some light Metroidvania elements of upgrading the rocket (naturally with a vaccuum cleaner and booze, as in the first game). Maybe you could go ahead and do some of the interesting ideas Super Mario Galaxy explored, with small, strangely shaped space stations with whacky gravity.
All the assets are usually pirated in private servers. Its very illegal and makes it difficult to host them from most countries.
This jogger incident makes me think even more strongly that self driving software should never rely on a database of features for navigation. Because those database are inevitably brittle and become outdated, and then the software ends up with a “false sense of confidence” about what it is doing. Forcing the software to always rely on live sensor fusion data from the real world seems much more reliable, even if it makes it much harder to get something that basically always works.
>> It is also unfair by itself that MS OSes will boot without requiring the user to fiddle with the system firmware, but non-MS OSes won't

>Unfair? You're talking about systems that come with Windows pre-installed. Of course these systems are going to be configured for booting Windows out of the box.

I think it more _accurate_ to have said "of course these systems are going to be configured to boot nothing but Windows out of the box", which is ... drum roll please.. anti-competitive. Facially, and blatantly anti-competitive.
We don't need cops seizing private cameras.

We just need them to ARREST criminals. If you steal something from the store you get arrested. If you are smoking/injecting illegal schedule I and schedule II drugs you get ARRESTED.

London Breed and all the other SF politicians are working for narco-terrorist cartels. The Sinaloa cartel literally controls both the drug and fencing trade in the Tenderloin.

I say we send in the national guard and just start arresting every last person in city hall until we get results.

SF is a failed city and the politicians are narcos.

Somewhere in one of those distant galaxies, a modestly advanced life form has deployed their first infrared telescope into orbit around their star system and captured a deep field image that happens to contain our Milky Way.

The amount of misunderstanding, arbitrarily 'made up stuff' and naive speculation on this thread ... it's just ridiculous.

It's kind of general professional designation, and valuable education for those with no business background (though likely not useful unless from one of the better schools). I'll gather that more than 1/2 of them come from hard professional backgrounds (i.e. CFA, Finance, Eng, Science, Econ) and that they may not be directly oriented towards a specific 'role or trade' frankly is not that important.

Almost everything that has been specifically said in this thread is a bit ridiculous (almost comical), and a lot of it kind of petty as well.

"Those sneaky manipulators!"

"Their priorities are this or that!"

And really, really weird the amount of hyperbole here.

I'm going to guess that maybe you don't really know MBA is (that's ok, it's not an insult, most people don't), and because you don't speak the language of finance, macro/micro economics, marketing, you may be inclined to assume that those things 'are not irrelevant', which is and oddly peculiar form of ironic glibness.

It's a generalist designation.

Some of them are good, some are not.

It's not that big of a deal, and it's not at all like what some people are implying here.
Not only is the universe big, really big. Unimaginably big. You are also by comparison, small, unimaginably small. Infinitesimally small. Be that as it may, do the best you can.

'''My user agent scoops up everything and presents it to me in a way that I like.'''

I think this is close to what the future looks like.

For example, it rattles me that no matter what app I am watching 'videos' on I have different options. Some I can watch 2x speed. Some I can tap the sides to go quicker through. Some if I tap it mutes. Some if I tap it stops the video.

All of this for the same type of content.

Insanity.

Not to mention even within certain apps like Instagram is just brutal. For the same content type - videos - they have like 3 (?) different ways to view it.
Let's pretend for a minute that Google's DMCA system is actually necessary to comply with the law (other commenters below poke a number of holes in that claim, I don't need to repeat them here), and that it's the DMCA that's the primary method by which copyright strikes happen (also questionable and discussed in other comments).

Even given those things, Google is complicit in the legal landscape being what it is today. Google has regularly defended the DMCA, and claimed it's working well. They're the largest lobbying organization in the tech world. They've even spent time and money defending other providers (e.g. Hotfile) in court for not implementing filtering, arguing that it's not necessary to receive DMCA's safe harbor provisions, but have implemented content identification and filtering in-spite of that.

> STOP CHANGING THINGS! Even if the new UI is better (debatable), some people just like or rely on a particular layout to operate the device or app. Don't rearrange without giving a ~permanent setting to use the old layout.

The fact that we're 15 years into smartphones being popular and that phones & computerized address books were basically fully-solved interfaces long before those took off, and they're still fucking around with phone app UI in big ways, is a sign of some kind of institutional or industry-market failure to me. Or both. Allowed, I suppose, because Google's market position (i.e. monopoly across several markets) both gives them the surplus profit (i.e. rents) to fuck around and waste money on harmful to users crap like phone app redesigns, and insulates them from any actual threat to their profit due to those bad choices.

The real problem is lately we've been seeing malware that lives in UEFI from APT (Edit: Advanced Persistent Threat actor, usually state sponsored) groups. That means it is persistent and will typically disallow updating the UEFI once infected. And almost everyone hates OS updates, and the smallest percentage are willing to update firmware, because it can brick a device, so UEFI isn't going to get updated. This is one of the few things you MUST trust, even if you want to follow zero trust.

Adblockers are arguably worse to a company than piracy.

Pirates often argue that they aren't causing a lost sale,
because if the product wasn't free, the pirate customer simply wouldn't use the product in the first place.

Pirates however, generally aren't putting sustained load on the IP-holders' servers. Whereas adblockers are putting load on the companies' servers while not "paying" for the services, by blocking the ads.

> Available evidence strongly support the superiority of bystander compression-only CPR. Reasons for the best efficacy of chest compression-only CPR include a better willingness to start CPR by bystanders, the low quality of mouth-to-mouth ventilation and a detrimental effect of too long interruptions of chest compressions during ventilation.

People don't want to make out with a stranger, they don't do it very well, and pausing chest compressions detracts from it.
What I heard (and there is a lot on conjecture involved) is that lots of staff were layed off or put on part time during covid. Now travel levels are coming up to precovid times and much previous staff has moved on. On the other hand, the airports are not really offering significantly increased salaries. In general it seems that there is strong reluctance to adjust salaries for workers despite the increased demand.

It is significant that the people being taken aren't just teenagers and adult wastoids with addictive personalities. But rather professionals with (otherwise) stable careers.

Covid meant that they got rid of people

When travel picked back up they tried to employ people. They failed because

1) Brexit -- many people who were laid off in the UK returned to their country of origin

2) Security clearance -- there is a massive backlog getting security clearance (for things like airside passes) in the UK

BA ground crew were recently on strike because they're being paid less than they were in 2019 for the same job (which was already a low wage), even before inflation. There's better jobs to go to with better hours and better conditions.

I suspect BA and co are hoping to get some form of P&O style deal where they can employ people who aren't UK citizens in the airports on a low wage that someone with full access to the labour market wouldn't take.
Ethically the company is not a human, and thus doesn’t have any inherent rights. The only rights it can have are those that were granted to benefit society - or because of corruption/lobbying.

You might be interested in a fascinating game called TIS-100 by Zachtronics. The game is a lot of things, but a core premise is that it imagines a computer from a time approximately parallel to the PDP-11 that took the form of small compute components that were connected to each other instead of a monolithic central processor. It's a fun game, and it sort of raises the question of which is the "abomination[s] forced on us as an accident of history." Because when you look around at most of the biological world, you see heavily distributed systems with some centralization, but computers (man-made things that they are) are heavily centralized, clock-locked, deterministic... And energy-intensive. And slow.

History is arbitrary but not random, and it's fun to think about how things might have been different if the first machines started embarrassingly parallel with follow-up work to consolidate the data instead of embarrassingly centralized with us now in the era of how to make the monoliths fast. It's interesting to think about what's "ideal" about a machine that supports arbitrary jumps (and the global address space that demands, and the sequential execution necessary to prevent decoherence, and the memory protection demanded because some addresses are not executable code and should never be executed, etc., etc.).

As others have hinted, the real science is going to be less pretty.

For example, some algorithm might filter the raw images and extract objects matching some properties, fit them, and then run every reasonable manipulation of that filter to give the fit an error bar. Or they will compare spectra from many galaxies to understand their composition, again running every reasonable variation of the calculation to get some kind of uncertainty.

The end science result will be a graph of some kind in a paper, but it costs very little extra to make these beautiful images on the side.
The mechanical shutters used in photo cameras are a mechanical rolling shutter, where each curtain takes about 1/500s or so to travel across the frame.

The electronic shutter in a rolling shutter CMOS is very similar: The first curtain is where rows of pixels are reset, the second curtain is when they are sampled/read out and digitized. For normal camera sensors this takes between 1/20s and 1/60s, depending on the resolution - high resolution cameras take longer.

The limiting factor for that isn't actually the pixel array itself, but the speed at which data can be transferred off the sensor. This is where stacked sensors come in: you can move data way more quickly between the front sensor die and the back logic/storage die than you can move it off chip. So the trick of the fast stacked sensors is that they read the image from the sensor die into the memory die, and then transfer the image through the usual, much slower link to the image DSP. But at that point the image has been fully exposed and the slowness of the link doesn't matter, except for the maximum frames per second.

This way you can make an image ~50 MP sensor whose electronic "shutter curtains" travel at a similar speed as the shutter curtains of a mechanical fp-shutter and so you don't reeallly need the mechanical shutter any more, because the motion artifacts will be basically the same. There are some edge cases, e.g. high frequency flickering light sources can apparently create issues, but they don't seem to be a show-stopper.

(There are some additional tricks, like CMOS sensors have been column-parallel for a long time, where each column of pixels have their own PGA and ADC, but these newer sensors seem to sample multiple rows in parallel as well)

((There are also global-shutter CMOS sensors, which can "near simultaneously" sample all pixels in the array, in the analog domain, but since this requires extra transistors in each pixel, it's always detrimental to other parameters for a ceteris paribus rolling shutter sensor. These are used mostly for machine vision / slow motion purposes. Higher-spec global shutter sensors are export controlled.))
I agree we can do better (and we will), but other than small incremental improvements, I personally have not seen a compelling full refactoring that would be objectively better yet.

There's a lot of moving parts... the good of everyone vs the good of the individual vs the good of the present vs the good of the future. All of that is clouded by people with poor reasoning or malicious reasoning, and the fact that nobody can predict the future, and nobody wants to be held accountable if something fails.
> This would be fine, except that airlines have already sold an avereage of 101,500 tickets per day and seats are still on sale.

My understanding is that based on existing sales alone, there are already 101,500 passengers/day. And in order to get 100,000, they have asked airlines to not sell any more tickets at all.

If you imagine that airlines were previously planning to sell a further 20,000 tickets per day, and they cut that down to 0-100 per day, that's a huge drop that is sure to impact anyone looking to buy tickets at this time.
> you haven't shown where my logic is wrong/flawed. Only that you think it justifies something bad. I would ask that you point out the flaw in the logic instead.

That it can justify something bad is the flaw. For example, racism isn’t bad because it’s logically flawed. Depending on your core beliefs, something I’m not going to be able to change, it may be the logical conclusion of them. The reason it’s bad is because it is used to justify mistreatment of others.

You’re on your own dissecting if you believe in something that can justify feudalism because of bad core beliefs or because of bad logic.
It can help a ton. There's been reports of people calling up an airport and telling an employee exactly where their bag is, and then getting it delivered.

Often the biggest impediment to getting lost luggage back is finding out where in the airport it actually is.
