Yes, Sandman could have looked much better. But it was still enjoyable.

I didn't find the production values as distracting as Tom Sturridge's eternal, "Blue Steel" face.*

*My wife insists it's actually "El Tigre".
That analysis doesn't feel like it's addressing the problem.It's one thing to point out that technology X is, itself, not renewable, and quite another to ask this question:

In its service lifetime, does technology X return more energy than it cost to create (substitute: save more carbon than it cost)?
I looked into this a couple years ago and a company had a patent for using TPMS tracking for traffic counts (instead of putting down those pneumatic tubes).

However, I seem to remember that new cars have been implementing something different so less and less cars will have this.
I can't help but feel like article kind of beats around the bush with the answer, i.e. that there are tradeoffs between artistic freedom and streaming performance/compression. I'm guessing Netflix did their best to find cameras that worked well with the compression and streaming infrastructure that Netflix has. There's probably no perfect answer, and I can understand why they'd want to specific hardware for their productions.

It's kind of fascinating that it's ended up forming a certain style, but I wouldn't be surprised to see engineering concerns start to permeate other streaming services in terms of style.
Oh, all of us non-Californians know as well. The warning label is put on products nationally - probably not worth manufacturing a CA variant of product packaging in most cases.
It is strange. I guess it's the same as pop music and pachelbels canon. Most people love it. So we are stuck with it.

Thank you for the link, but it doesn't seem like it's answering my question? from your link:

"This study had various limitations that should be taken into account when interpreting the findings. First, we did not incorporate patterns of drinking, and therefore did not distinguish between individuals who infrequently engage in heavy episodic drinking and those who consume the same amount of alcohol over several days."

From what I'm reading it seems like the study was looking at habitual drinker, either drinking regularly or in big amount.

> The license seems a bit ambiguous. $49 for a "one user license", I hope that really means "one developer"?
> But one developer can build an app used by many users. So I suppose you are oddly pressured into buying the more expensive license because you probably have more than one "user"?

It clearly says "Use in multiple websites" under both licenses, so it's talking about devs not users (like most such licenses).
What kind of "open source" are these --- the "GPL" kind, the "non-commercial" kind, or the "do whatever you want with it" kind?
Yes, they do. Especially words like "consent". Not even once did I consent to their brands being forcibly inserted into my mind. I feel extremely violated every single time some advertiser manages to get around my uBlock Origin.

Advertising is mind rape.
I feel you. I want Apple's privacy advantages but every single time I use an Apple product I just feel like I can barely do anything useful with it. Do you still have to jailbreak your iphone to set a custom ringtone?

Edit: I just checked and amazingly, yes. Unless you have a mac from a specific time with specific software to maybe help you out. If it's a song available on itunes you might be able to buy it as a ringtone but if it's something like your own recording, and you don't have a mac, basically go die in a ditch. Embarrassing.
My Samsung TV shows ads in the bottom app bar. Or did until it was disconnected from the internet. Crappiest TV I've ever had, slow and just all around a bad experience. I would love a dumb TV with decent panel in UK! Any suggestions are welcome.
The fake-ass Depth of Field effects are what drive me nuts. Some series have the top and bottom thirds of the screen blurred to hell with a sharp dividing line for no discernable reason.
Have you seen Top Gun?
Why is it still closed for users in Ukraine? Are there many other countries excluded, or are we the only unlucky ones?
Yeah, but I don't want a dumb TV. Or the side-effort of some moribund commercial line that will also cost a ton more.

You know what else kind of had this problem? Well, not the spyware as much, but just the crap software embedded: routers. OpenWRT appeared.

It appears most smart tvs are already running linux, but probably in the way that android phones are already running linux.

With android and smart tvs, the corps got a major foothold into managed computing platforms that they can control to do whatever spying was necessary. Firefox on the phone, ubuntu phone, etc, they couldn't break into Android, and nothing has broken into smart tvs.

But man if there was an OpenWRT I could replace my roku TVs with, I'd probably do it in a heartbeat.

It's not just that, my relatives have an old LG smart TV that long ago stopped adding apps. If there was an open linux alternative, it probably would be getting updates and AppleTV and Disney Plus would be options on it.

Cursory searches have basically returned "man it would be hard, you'd need to know the board pretty well", yet ... aren't there armies of linux hackers that love hacking stuff like this? Seems like Smart TVs are a big, ubiquitous consumer item with privacy concerns that the linux hardware hacking community has treated with apathy. Which seems strange.

Maybe all the hackers think "eh, plug a raspberry pi into a free HDMI port" or "eh, build a media pc".

This is corporate big brother in your grandma's living room spying. This is freedom on the line, it's strange that the linux-as-hacking-freedom and the linux anticorporate crowd haven't jumped on this.
I'd argue any kind of vulnerability announcement, even a zero-day exploit, is better than having the vulnerability be exploited under the radar by malicious actors. The existence of an exploit allows people affected by the vulnerability to know there's a threat, and to act accordingly.

>If you couldn't make money from ads like now, there'd be way less SEO

This is just nonsense. If there were no ads, hyperoptimized SEO would only be more important because it's the only way for you as a web admin to surface your content in people's searches.
>The disruption to gas supplies on Europe is mostly self-inflicted and not an intrinsic consequence of the war.

If Europe wanted, they could simply go back to business as usual and ignore the war entirely.

It's surprising that people forget that the EU initiated the financial war with Russia
It is always interesting seeing companies building up on the products / services of other companies. Kinda like TurboTax built on the IRS, these "children" (is there a better term?) companies are quite dependent on the "parent" company not changing or improving its product / service.

I don't see AWS changing so dramatically that companies like DataBricks are put in hot water (but I could be wrong), but I could see Snowflake improving its product due to competition, putting Keebo in a tough situation.
I find it interesting that apple allows apps through the review process that have these extremely high subscription fees without any additional review
I mean which is it? Did Ukraine get military aid for the US or not? And what about the previous administration? Was Obama a Russian asset too?
Also, AFAIK, those high-temperature reactors are normally made with a molten metal intermediate cycle (normally sodium) and a gas-only external cycle (normally CO2).

Water enters only to cools the cold side of the external cycle.
I disagree vehemently as someone involved in transit and housing activism. The cause did, does, and probably will continue to feel hopeless. There are days I walk out of talking with others about issues or days where a Mayor walks back a commitment that punch you in the gut. But through organization and by looking back over the last 5 years of activism in my community/area, I can see the real work that's been done. (It helps that our work results in infrastructure changes, of course.)

As far as a candidate, trust me there are hungry junior political candidates all the time that are happy to take campaign donations and meet their constituents demands. The quickest way to become a popular, well-funded candidate is to represent a wealthy, grassroots cause with no representation. If you're concerned about this, contribute to the EFF, and maybe even consider joining them! Don't put your anger into online zealotry if you live in a democratic country, use that energy to petition the government for change.
The Ukraine conflict made it clear that Russia bluffs its capabilities pretty severely.

They frequently make statements that can be construed as threats to EU and NATO states, eg. some jackass in the Duma saying they don't recognize the sovereignty of the Baltic states. A few years ago it seemed like it might not be a bluff. And with Donald Trump openly bashing NATO... It would have been conceivable that Putin could attack and assume the west wouldn't care.

But the Ukraine conflict made it clear that it's not possible. The west cares, and the Russian military is pretty weak.
I've used it in a previous tool to generate documentation from code snippets, it works out pretty well.
> biochemical augmentation will be just as accepted as electromechanical

I'm not sure that electromechanical modification is accepted today. Things like limb replacements are now accepted for those with injuries - but I don't think there is widespread acceptance of mechanical augmentation for _enhancement_. There is a grey area though for tool usage which is acceptable and what is "augmentation".
>Looking at the rates of ADHD diagnosis worldwide, it is clear that someone is getting it wrong

Isn't the usual answer something like:

"People with ADHD-like characteristics are restless and impulsive, therefore more likely to decide to strike out on big new adventures. Like emigrating to an exciting new country. So the U.S. has been an ADHD magnet since before its founding, leading to a much higher prevalence / diagnosis than most other parts of the world. And since ADHD is hereditary, it gets passed down the generations, sustaining the imbalance with the rest of the world. And/or maybe there is an amplification effect where in most populations the ADHD genes stay diluted in the gene pool, since it is not a common occurrence, and people with ADHD generally had kids with non-ADHD people. But at certain base rates, the ADHD people start having children with each other, intensify the effects."

Tauri has options to take care of that.

Microsoft's WebView2 has three distribution options: the "evergreen bootstrapper," the "evengreen standalone installer," and "fixed version" (where you embed a browser version in your installer).

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview...

Tauri supports all three of those mechanisms. If you choose to embed the browser directly in your installer, it adds 100MB+ to your installer size, but it's guaranteed to work anywhere. (They even support Windows 7.)

Then don't throw away your hardware? The person I'm responding to didn't. Would you also mandate recycling? I'd certainly support that. I'm just not sure what a right to repair law is addressing here that's different than what's currently happening. I would hypothesize that mandatory recycling would go further in effect than right to repair.
Sounds quite ineffective.

Just throw an appropriate exception type and deal with them in a single spot.

What happens if you forget to catch an exception? System default error measage printed out?
I used to laugh about the Canada effect on Stargate SG-1. It's a well-written show about traveling to other planets in the galaxy, but almost every planet looks like a forest in British Columbia because that's where it was shot.
They also sacrificed humans to their gods. The tenure of a bad habit is not an argument in favour of the habit. I recall ancient romans used lead to enhance the taste of wine, if that practice had persisted nobody today would advocate for it give what we now know (and they suspected) about the effects of lead.

And while we know that ancient civilisations drank alcohol, we don’t know how widespread or frequent it was, was it just an elite? Was it a very occasional ceremony (as some indigenous tribes still do, using psychoactive substances as part of group rituals once or twice per year)?
Some model year Toyota Corollas had an automated seat belt. It was really annoying having a belt across the steering column when you had a bag or anything in your hand to put on the passenger seat.

I still type horribly on a smartphone screen rather than the crackberry keyboard. I could drive and type texts/emails without taking my eyes off the road (not recommended). Being able to navigate things by touch is essential.
There's a whole slew of ways to scam retail prices. Sometimes customers used to just peel a price tag off one product and place it on another. (Store employees used to, less than 40 years ago, put a price sticker manually on every box. Then they'd key the price into the register.) Sometimes if there's a SKU sticker rather than the preprinted UPC sticker on the package from the manufacturer people will still try this.
Does Copilot use GPT-3 directly? I haven't found resources on this, but sounds doubtful?
Those negative comments are from the types of people who helped push the governments of the world to force Apple to do this.
Hi satvikchoudhary! It's a good question. Obviously I know of ArangoDB, but I don't know it well enough to comment on the main differences, so I'll focus on what SurrealDB is aiming to achieve instead.

SurrealDB is aiming to be at the intersection of relational, document, and graph databases, whilst still remaining simple to use with an SQL-like query language, for developers coming from the relational database side. We are only at the beginning of the journey, but SurrealDB is designed to be run embedded, or in the cloud, with the ability to query it directly from a client application or from a web browser (and only access the data that you're allowed to see).

With our native client libraries (coming soon), SurrealDB will be able to be embedded within Node.js, WebAssembly, Python, C, and PHP applications, in addition to running as a server.

We wanted to create a database that people didn't have to manage, so they could focus on building applications, not the infrastructure. We wanted users to be able to use schema-less and schema-full data patterns effortlessly, a database to operate like a relational database (without the JOINs), but with the same functionality as the best document and graph databases. And with security and access permissions to be handled right within the database itself. We wanted users to be able to build modern real-time applications effortlessly - right from Chrome, Edge, or Safari. No more complicated backends.

I'm not sure how all of this compares to ArangoDB, but happy to learn!
Someday you will start with a sheet of copper with green soldermask. A laser will cut out the traces then take off just the masking where the component leads need to be soldered.

They can pretty much do that now. But nobody has a nice solution for thru-holes yet. And single sided boards are pretty boring.
The original piece that this entire thread is about links to multiple studies that support it's claims. OP's comment just says, "Well, I don't experience this, so I call BS". Sure, you don't, and that's fine (I'm happy that them and others in this thread have different experiences - good for them!), but that doesn't mean that we, nor even yourself, should immediately dismiss it entirely.
It's not always CGI. They are using LED lighting panels to create the exact lighting conditions they want. Some movies and shows are using giant overhead panels to create hyper-focused idealized conditions.

A lot of times, it is overdone, but in a movie like Knives Out it helped with the indoor scenes.
[Edit] - Since hackernews was not allowing me to delete my comment regarding website vulnerability, here's an edit. Hope this doesn't show edit history to everyone.
There are two kinds of conventional light water reactor. In the pressurized water reactor (PWR), the most common, there is indeed an additional heat exchanger between the water in the core and the water that turns to steam. In the boiling water reactor (BWR), the second most common, the slightly radioactive steam from the core goes directly to a turbine.

Given that Dall-E 2's pricing hasn't changed, probably not.

Whats so bad about Netflix 4K?

Yes, it's compressed. And yes, it loses some information and quality. But the picture quality is still good. Superior to most other sources. (Yes, Blue-ray will be better, but I really don't want to jiggle disks).

I don't think that 1080p with the same bitrate would look any better.
While at it, I never understood the worry about the plutonium surfacing in the MSR cycle. Of course it can be diverted to make nuclear warheads. But countries like the US, or France, or Russia, or China, or India already are able to produce nuclear warheads, even from plutonium extracted from more conventional reactors. I don't understand where is the risk of proliferation.

Is this about international treaties and ease of inspection? About currently non-nuclear countries obtaining nuclear weapons more easily?
Since I'm still somewhat bad at soldering: what are the symptoms of having the wrong tip size?
I'd have an easier time feeling relieved if the limited parts selection and prices weren't obviously calculated to make self-repair extremely undesirable. Not to mention you can't order a part until you've registered with Apple - ensuring third parties can't sock up on parts for quick in-store repairs.

Parts availability and pricing wouldn't be so much of a problem if Apple would stop getting in the way of third parties replacing broken parts with with genuine OEM parts from donor devices, selling those parts themselves, and sharing schematics for component-level repairs. The vitality of the classic car community is an excellent example of how valuable the used parts market is to independent repair.

It's a start and Apple deserves credit for taking a few steps in the right direction. But the limitations of this program highlight how it is obviously nothing more than ammunition for their lobbying efforts against the right-to-repair movement.
Its not only netflix. Its just 4k cameras (RED and friends, I guess?) - not sure what brands actually exist.

I watched my first movies in the 90s and it took a while to adapt to the new looks but I actually love it. Its so detailed and still many elements from classical movies are adapted (if you read about them, you never forget and begin to actually see them used. Hitchcocks dolly zoom as prominent example.)

At least I am visually pleased and on my PC I actually start edge to watch 4k netflix, besides sometimes it just freezes my windows PC and just make them reboot).
But they can't use it to assess performance or associate it with individuals.
We really gotta come up with another thing to repeat as the go-to diss than this. I'm all for putting pressure on them to release weights etc but they are a lot more open than e.g. google or meta, and the whole "ClosedAI" is so over-repeated at this point.
I work in offense and they can be a huge impediment. Significant work goes into bypassing or staying undetected from these products. While not all the detection occurs at runtime, they report a lot of data back from the endpoint so historical detection can happen.

However what I see is essentially their true positive and false negative rate, I would be interested to know what the false positive rate is.
Correct, in a PWR or BWR the hot side is in a closed loop. There's a great PDF here: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/basic-ref/students/for-educat...
I am an Apple ecosystem user myself, but previously used Dells, Lenovos and HPs, and never without NBD warranty, so I laugh at all these reactions, too haha. Apple warranty is not bad, but in 8 years of using their products, they definitely deteriorated both in timing, willingness and quality of the repairs. And the frequency increased, too. I pretty much serviced each of my recent (~3 years) MacBooks and iPhones. Personal experience, but still, I used to praise them, no longer do.
A note on some of the comments you’ve left elsewhere: “open source” is not an intellectual property designation recognized in United States copyright law, and will not constitute an affirmative defense in the event you are sued for intellectual property conversion.

Tread lightly and ensure that you’re prepared for the legal consequences of repurposing others’ work.
Yeah; it took about 5 minutes for me to go from initial sign up, to realizing the Miramax catalog is completely missing from Disney+, to deciding to cancel it ASAP.

The Mandalorian was OK, I guess, but meh. Also, they're censoring the back catalog in offensive ways (Daryl Hannah's disturbing case of carpet butt comes to mind.)

Anyway, I'd pay for access to the back catalog they bought monopoly rights to. Since it's not for sale, my money is going elsewhere.

(Edit: had the wrong actress...)
Depends on the behaviour. On the times you've observed it

1) will it bounce between open wifi points if one does not allow internet access (set up a honeypot)

2) will it try open wifi if you join it to a secured wifi and block that traffic

3) can you send de-auth packets to any open wifi the tv's radio connects to

4) can you desolder the wifi antenna completely
Sort of Yellow Pages and Linkedin combined with v-cards?
If it's so easy to prevent someone from ligitating why don't all small businesses do this? For example, why don't restaurants have you sign a ToS on the menu saying that by ordering you agree to not ligitate?
> an essential factor in the success of a venture-backed startup is the ability to secure a next round of funding.

I've been quite surprised at who true this is. A majority of the large rounds of layoffs we've been seeing lately (an almost weekly occurrence at some point) was in most part driven by no more investments coming in for the foreseeable future, and companies needing to make drastic cuts for this reality.

I didn't really appreciate how dependent companies were on funding rounds to keep up.
> Your network team has a way into the network that your security team doesn't know about.

This one is true, and even if you right now go and try to make it not true for your company...it will become true again later.
