I've been incredibly happy with the Win 11 captions as well; it's spoiled me on every other automatic captioning resource, honestly.

I saw a video (from Microsoft) about how their captions are best in class, especially for accents, and I can believe it. I work with people from around the world and the captions are almost always correct, except for contextually ambiguous words with a very heavy accent (like "job" for "shop").

Judges are very good at figuring out a way to rule in a specific way. Their new favorite way seems to be latches, and standing. It can get to really dystopian rulings like a candidate challenging the way an election was conducted, being told they should have sued before they ran in the election. But if they sued before they ran in the election, the judge would probably dismiss it for lack of standing.

Do you actually know the person in question or did you just kneejerk response assuming that they're complaining about free speech?

The point isn't Musk's right to ban whoever he wants. It's the hypocrisy he demonstrated, and the people that got suckered into his false promise of complete freedom of speech.

There are many non profits here in Spain that do this with cat colonies, they capture the cats and neuter them with vet clinics and then have the colonies supervised and fed. People donate cat food and medicine to them.
The site you linked estimates 60,000 cancer deaths in California this year, I would assume it's safe to assume what the eventual prognosis was for those cases. Nearly 10,000 of them from lung cancer, and over 5,000 from colorectal cancer. If those are your examples of cancers with unpleasant end of life experiences and less than 500 people in the state used MAID, then it would seem as though thousands are suffering.

"Gamers" need to stop being so wussy and play a game without expecting it to hold your hand.

Looking at Wikipedia, what I'm thinking of may be equivalent to a Linear Bounded Automaton.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_bounded_automaton

Specifically, I'm thinking of the "less restrictive definition."

Also, I realize I elided over the fact that a FSM traditionally reads its input "as it goes", whereas a TM has its input pre-written to the tape. To work the way the TM would, my FSM would need to have its initial state set to the one corresponding to the TM initial configuration, and it would take some clock input that it would ignore at each step. Each state would have one transition that would ultimately lead to a terminal state, if it doesn't loop forever.

Actually constructing an FSM based on this idea is impractical because constructing it would require a huge number of states. Again, the number of FSM states would be equal to (# TM states) * (number of cell positions) * (# symbols)^(bounds of tape). For anything non-trivial that's a ludicrous number of states. Similarly, constructing the state transition table would be O((# symbols)^(bounds of tape)) operations. Logically, it can be done but it's only useful as a mental exercise.

For normal maps, the correct color space is definitely "no color space", because the R/G/B channels are used to store a 3D vector and not an actual color.

For video game graphics, the ideal color space is "looks good on the median user's television once we apply our gamma curve", which is not actually a real color space. It's more like a statistical distribution of color spaces.

Native speakers learn the language at a time when they can't read or write, so they have to rely on their listening. Non-native speakers on the other hand usually first see the language written down, and then hear / pronounce it, and connect the writing with what they hear.

If I had a penny for every time a native speaker wrote "would of" instead of "would have" in forums, I'd be a billionaire. "Their" / "They're" / "There" is also common.

But the funny thing is, I noticed I would make similar errors after being immersed in a native environment after a few years time. Somehow I just say to myself what I wanted to write, and the slip-up happens. So native speakers are more prone to this, but it's not only there privilege!
> if you throw lz4 or zstd on top of it, of it, it actually can beat png

PNG is literally just "perform some simple filtering on the image data, then run that through zlib and wrap it with some metadata". It shouldn't come as any great surprise that you can outperform PNG with a newer stream compressor. You'd probably get even better results by using PNG's filters instead of QOI.

doesn't your common abstraction layer become your single point of failure in this situation? The only robust economical way to do that is too use a third party multiplatform abstraction service, especially given the complexity of maintaining functional billing across multiple payment processors, you're kinda screwed if you try to implement this in house for a small business (either losing revenue to bugs or losing money to in house implementation time/costs)
In English "run by the workers" have a very different meaning from "involving the workers". So your point is a strawman.

I think it's in the title: assets. The example case is replacing the BMP assets used by a game with QOI with a resulting 10x size reduction: https://github.com/skeeto/chess/commit/5c123b3

I think this functions as a test case. For a game as simple as a chess UI, PNG would probably be fine unless you're code-golfing on the final output binary size or refusing to use common dependencies. But for some programs (e.g. large video games), preloading all your assets is very common and decoding speed can be crucial. Maybe the assets could even be left in compressed form in memory in order to reduce the system requirements? I'm not sure if this is common or not.

Side note: video game assets are often enormous in size because developers refuse to implement even very basic compression because of the supposed performance impact. Getting the decompression speed up can result in tremendous reduction in disk usage because it allows doing compression without losing performance.
QOI's QOI_OP_DIFF and QOI_OP_LUMA opcodes can act like horizontal filtering once the results are fed into a stream compressor. There's nothing to provide vertical filtering, though, which is a pretty huge limitation.

I wonder if you'd get better compression using a zigzag scan?
No, not astroturfing. Just hoping we could be closer to the day the git monoculture ends.

I generally agree, but they've been extremely clear that this is about NATO expansion. And NATO has actually made multiple promises to NOT expand to the point of Russia's border but has made those exact expansions 3 times in the past decades. Everything Russia's done has pretty much been a direct response to this. The primary ask of the peace deal was basically just that Ukraine doesn't join NATO (something which at the time was unpopular anyways). Add to that that Joe Biden (who was the head of the US's Russia's strategy under Obama) has been pretty explicit about everything since 2014. Their primary goal is to weaken Russia. That's exactly what this proxy war is and exactly why we keep sending so much "aid". That's also why in September 66 countries representing most of the world's population asked "all sides" to resume peace talks. They didn't just mean Russia and Ukraine...

Americans need to own up to their role in this (no, I'm not a Russia apologist)
Thank you, I didn't think you would proceed with this.

Maybe I was wrong to mention the thread. Quoting myself from earlier:

> Nobody from that camp was lifting a finger when "conspiracy theorists" were being banned from Twitter. People were saying that "Twitter was a private company who could ban whoever it wanted".

By "nobody from that camp", I wasn't specifically meaning those people in the thread I shared. There are a lot of hypocrites in that camp. Maybe those people are among them, maybe they aren't. I don't really care as I think a few people don't matter in the big picture. And that's why mentioning that thread was wrong, because it undermined my own argument.

> those whoever has commented on recent Twitter threads has retained their opinion

I don't know if this is the case. I didn't care enough to analyze.

But apparently you did. I assumed that you were insincere in the beginning but you proved me wrong. I appreciate it.

I was trying to manipulate you into answering. Sorry about that, my tone wasn't very nice. Of course this cannot be an interrogation and you don't owe my a damn answer.

I’m not saying I agree with them but I do sympathise with the argument.

Is old timers spent the first part of our career understand most, if not all, of the technology stack. It’s actually really empowering having that level insight. So I can see why people might still crave for those days of simplicity back.

It’s not not a decision I’d personally follow but I do see the attraction in their decision.
The problem is that I need to be first convinced it’s worth bothering with (though you won’t convince me personally, because I don’t have any need for a better-performing DB and I’m lazy).

But if my theory is right, you’ll have a lot more success getting people to test it if you resolve the other items. Which I think you could do in probably two paragraphs on the site.

Even if I could convince myself that it’s faster, I still wouldn’t be comfortable with it if I couldn’t explain, even at a high level, why it’s faster. And I would never assume it’s faster for anything except exactly what I tested (which inevitably is only somewhat representative of what I actually use it for)

1) I don't think the OP wants CS, they just want to get their damn money instead of having it held with no end in sight. Are there other contexts where someone can punt their obligations for 120 days (plus indefinite extensions) and not take heat about it?

2) On the back of my credit card there is an 800 number that I can call 24/7 and reach a human and get my problems sorted out. That's for my piddly 5 and 10 dollar transactions. For my checking account I can not only reach someone on the phone, I can go to a branch and sit across a desk from a bank officer in person, again with relatively piddly balances on account. OP has 10's of thousands on hold if the story is accurate: that seems to be deserving of at least as much attention.

3) I'm not a seller but on the buying side, it's also a huge hassle that I have to frequently jump through hoops and get some company's permission to spend my own money. The OP's story shows that the chokehold happens to sellers too. For me at least, bypassing that was a much bigger attraction of cryptocurrency than any of the cypherpunk weirdness was. (I never pursued it though). We need some kind of low-dollar payment product where the customer can choose to assume their own risk. I can understand if it doesn't extend to bigger transactions without qualifying the customer more extensively.
> But for some programs (e.g. large video games), preloading all your assets is very common and decoding speed can be crucial.

Those games typically don't need lossless image compression. There are much better (and faster) algorithms for lossy texture compression, many of which can even be decoded directly by the GPU. The S3TC family is one popular example.

One interesting commercial product in this space is Oodle Texture: http://www.radgametools.com/oodletexture.htm
By reading between the lines of your story and carmack's, my guess is carmack was against facebook user profiling in VR headsets, and you think the sales numbers are sufficient and prove him wrong. If that's the case I'm with Carmack both because "the ideological background" and because the sales argument does not hold : you don't know what the sales would have been (and will be in the future) if facebook did not strong arm users into surrendering their privacy

A chemical element is called "radioactive" whenever at least one of its naturally occurring isotopes is radioactive.

Whenever at least one isotope is radioactive, anything containing that element is radioactive, but with a lower activity, proportional with the natural abundance of the radioactive isotope. Because the isotopic abundance also matters, elements like carbon and potassium have very low activities even if their radioactive isotopes have high activities, because the abundance of their radioactive isotopes is very low.

The majority of the naturally occurring chemical elements, i.e. about three quarters of them, are non-radioactive.

Even if the naturally occurring chemical elements either are non-radioactive or have low radioactivity, otherwise they would have disappeared since the formation of the Solar System, their radioactivity is non-negligible due to the huge number of atoms that exist in every gram of substance.

Inside a human body, during each second, thousands of atoms disintegrate, emitting radiation.

However, almost all damage caused by the natural radiation is repaired, because all living cells have very efficient mechanisms for this. Only at higher doses those are overwhelmed.

The problem with your argument is that the energy cost of, say, charging a phone, is multiple orders of magnitude less than heating a room, and that in turn is many orders of magnitude from producing steel through recycling, and so on.

Comparable objects (a steel section produced in an arc furnace vs a steel section smelted from ore) have radically different energy requirements. If you legislate away the worst offenders (uninsulated houses) the raw drop in energy consumption is such that even if everybody starts leaving their lights on all the time, usage will still drop.

I am inclined to agree. I have switched to simple journaling, and so far it's been better. Basically I just journal every day with one file for every day, no branching out into other files.
Then I have a "timeline view" which let's me quickly see what I journaled in the past. This helps me focus on actually writing something down instead of thinking about naming things etc. So far it's great. And I can still use ripgrep to find all notes/occurrences with e.g. some specific word quickly.
It's expensive to build 2-3 integrations for every service you rely on though. And losing 1/3 of your money can still be detrimental to your business.
I take the strict view.

Nothing in the list is Turing-complete because they don't have infinite tape it its equivalent.

Since memory is finite they are all finite state machines and therefore can only accept regular languages.
