This will sound incredibly naive, but ... just make movies with a smaller budget.

The thing is FX tools are getting cheaper, distribution is cheaper, the production tools are cheaper. That leaves ... labor.

What may really be dead is the megastar, unless that megastar brings the bacon (for example, Tom Cruise is basically a producer for the films he stars in, but then again he has the money of dozens of former "hits" in the old model).

But then again, we are in the golden age of television. Movies might be suffering, perhaps because television is so much better. Television has the budget and FX is cheap enough that the OMG effects are no longer the monopoly of the film business.

And the article fails to address the shocking lack of good new IP and movies that are coming out of the film industry before the sea change of the subscription services. I personally point to the Matrix as the last time a good movie that wasn't just a sequel or a template or a remake was made. Yeah, uh, that was 1999. Funny writing that date, because it almost sounds like a date from the 1800s. There used to be multiple tentpole event movies every year before then, iconic movies.

What changed? Is there LESS money available now with mass release? Is it the lack of DVD revenue? China revenue means less creativity to offend The Central Party?

And what is a producer ultimately? The go between the financing and the "real" creatives. Is the guy really just complaining that his role in the modern pipeline is reduced, the financing more distributed and available from more sources, so they are less valuable? D&D from Game of Thrones were getting crazy amounts of credit for the series, but the pipeline of content ran out and suddenly they didn't look like geniuses anymore.
I suppose their point is that much as you can install and run PowerShell outside Windows, you can run Swift outside Apple's ecosystem. People just don't do either of those things very often.
There should be a tier between free and enterprise, with granular access control like for small saas companies.
I do. In my current project there is a rule: if marketing touches it, it's not a name, it's a label.

Starting from the code repository and down to the variables names, only technical identifiers are treated as stable.
That's why a proper VR headset wins over the various cheap "strap your iphone in" things. The comfort on the latest headsets (that are not cheap, granted) are orders of magnitude better.
But motorcyclists rank just above bicyclists, and just below deer. Nobody actually gets in trouble for hitting them on the road.

I would love to see manslaughter charges for more accidents. If I do a whoopsie and stab someone in my home, I'm not going to get off with a "oh my god I'm so sorry! I was tired and it was foggy." People driving should be extended the same courtesy.
Human history is one of both pessimism and optimism. Definitely the optimism of the US in the 1950s and 60s was helped along by the destitution of the Great Depression (1930s+) and WWII. And there was still a lot of suffering and reason to be pessimistic in that time. (And the 30s were a direct result of the 20s.)

I’ve also seen the studies on human cycles suggesting a link between how long ago a period of massive suffering occurred and the propensity for people to entertain ideas likely to bring about great suffering. Simply, people unable to forget the horribleness of war will fend off the little and big things that can lead to war much better than people who have never seen war.

I hope humanity can regain some optimism and direction without having to go through a world war. Or similar.

I find it worrying how much modern fiction is dystopian. I would call Game of Thrones dystopian, for instance, and it was immensely popular. Utopias like Star Trek are often ridiculed, for counterpoint.

Granted, internet comments are generally worthless. The signal to noise ratio in HN comments has gotten extra horrible of late, for that matter. It could be just the low lying fruit for people to get upvotes. But it degrades the site.
Not sure why this would make you sad. There are an arbitrary number of events in the universe that could warrant attention. There's no possible way we could create means to "fly" to all of them. Trying to create these means is futile, unless you arbitrarily pick "intercept big space sausage floating through the solar system".

Neglecting the obvious question of priorities considering all the shit we could be fixing on earth, better observatories would be much more useful than spaceships to take Bruce Willis out to inspect stuff. And there is a lot of funding going towards capabilities in that direction.

We now have a couple in my city of 300k people, I go for blacksmithing and welding (have to soon to finish something for family that lies there since November...). Or if I need some heavy woodworking machinery, luckily I have quite a bit of smaller machines at home, most of which inheritence of my late grandfather. Time permitting, I like manual work like that, good counterbalance to an otherwise typical office job.
Is anyone claiming otherwise? Isn't this article just about having enough fuel?
Now, as much as I wanna take the piss on Tesla, I'm more interested in this American tradition of simply ramming into anything in front of you that's not moving at your current speed or faster..

Like, how do people reason about this? It seems uniquely American to me.. These videos of people simply driving into stuff that's in plain sight right in their lane? What do they do if there's a fallen tree, tire, shopping cart? Simply pile into it instead of braking?

I'm wondering because, in my country, when you drive a car, you're supposed to pay attention to the road, and always be ready to break if something gets in your way ? But in USA, the thinking seems to be "I'm not driving too fast, I have the freedom of way here" ?

As for the article, all points are entirely valid! Systems need to either be fully autonomous, or require some level of constant engagement.. This is kind of analogous to the previous stuff written about the deskilling of labor and automation.. It's an impossible position to put someone in "this works in every easy case, almost never fails, and when it fail, it might get arbitrarily complex and require the exact skills that the operator has very rarely any opportunity to practice"
Americans don't consider Portuguese from Portugal to be non-white. Nobody calls Devin Nunes a POC, for example. They consider Brazilians to be people of color even if they are pureblood Portuguese, which is absurd. But that's how it works.

>Does the actual ancestry matter or are we just assuming that everyone who is not from Europe is a PoC?

Somehow the people who successfully colonized latin america get grouped in as marginalized because its too hard to do a color shade test or a blood quantum test.

Race isn't scientific. Even less so when you collapse the whole world into two races. White and not-white.
My seat on the Amtrak Cascades in September was more comfortable and had about 6 inches more legroom than any airplane I’ve ever flown on. First or Business class on an international flight will be way better than a roomette on Amtrak however.
It takes a little more effort than just to slap a touch screen on a laptop. The OS must be able to adapt to touch input. Just ask Microsoft if that is an easy task. It took them more than 10 years to get Windows to behave like that. Of course Apple could just install their IPad/iPhone OS but then it would no longer be a "MacBook Pro" but more of a "MacBook Toy"
1. Deep freezers are prone (for reasons unclear to me at my level of knowledge) to tripping GFCIs. For this reason they're allowed to be on a non-GFCI outlet in the garage (must be a single outlet receptacle by itself on the circuit)

Guess when the compressor kicks on you get sharp current spikes in units that do nothing to prevent that from hitting the grid.

> 2. Downstream GFCIs are prone to messing with upstream GFCIs, so you should not put them in series. My RV has it's own power distribution panel with GFCI, so it gets plugged into a dedicated TT-30 RV outlet without GFCI protection.

I don't know if this is an english word, but in German this known under the term selectivity. You cannot just put any RCD behind any RCD, you must select them specifically to have the downstream one trip first (otherwise, what is the use of having two in a row)?

3. My Tesla doesn't like GFCIs at all. It does a brief ground check before charging and trips the outlet. Known issue, solution is to find an outlet that isn't protected by a GFCI. In a pinch, when I was renting my first Tesla from Turo I stole the freezer outlet in the garage for a few hours at a time to charge the car. When I bought my own Tesla, I put in level 2 of course, problem solved.

Might be an issue with the wiring or the connector (some current is flowing where it should not flow), but it could also just be a broken GFCI.

A couple centuries ago, the brightest minds thought that humans flying in the air would take a million years.

Two centuries ago humans actually flew.

A century ago, almost everyone thought that stepping on a divine body like the moon

Nobody seriously thought the moon was a 'divine body' a century ago. The rocket equation was known and understood to form a possible theoretical basis for interplanetary travel technology.

A century ago, everyone thought it was impossible to fling a tiny device to blow up an entire city.

HG Wells thought it was possible as did many others.

"Churchill grasped the danger of technology running ahead of human maturity, penning a 1924 article in the Pall Mall Gazette called "Shall we all commit suicide?". In the article, Churchill wrote: "Might a bomb no bigger than an orange be found to possess a secret power to destroy a whole block of buildings - nay to concentrate the force of a thousand tons of cordite and blast a township at a stroke?""

Now, we think that it would be impossible to travel very long distances in space. Well, this challenge seems a piece of cake compared to flying in the air, walking on the moon, or generating unimaginable energy from atoms.

We think it's very difficult compared to the challenge of flying through the air or walking on the moon or generating energy from atoms in part because we understand those past challenges and can reasonably compare it to something like interstellar travel. It is decidedly nontrivial.
That’s a very anthropocentric, exceptionalist take.

Earth is as much a graveyard as it is a womb and a home and a paradise.

It’s frail compared to what’s outside of it. But it has quite a record (the only one known so far) of making life possible, for millions of years.

There’s nothing we know of this scale and capacity and resilience and welcoming to us (not only humans).
I recommend looking at the list of devices recommended by one of LineageOS (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/), /e/ (https://doc.e.foundation/devices), or PostmarketOS (assuming the application will run on plain Linux vs. Android) to see if they will work for you. The tablets they recommend are often older models so you will likely have to find these used/refurbished. It might be easier to get a detachable or 360-hinge PC laptop instead (e.g. MS Surface) if the weight/dimensions/application work better for you due to the high flexibility that PC OS-es offer compared to Android. Alternatively, a ChromeOS device, most of which can run Android apps, are a much better bet with long support, respectable vendors, and good flexibility.

My last car (before I gave up on cars and sold it) was a Honda from 2016. It no longer allowed me to adjust the lights. All my previous cars allowed me to lower the beam. Change the angle. This feature was removed.

Furthermore, the rearview mirror had a new feature to automatically "dim brightness from cars behind me". Which confirmed for me the problem of bright lights in general.

And finally, and most annoyingly: the Honda would automatically turn on the brights if it was night and it thought there was no car coming towards me. This feature was so buggy I had to switch to manual lights like 1992.

Writing this I am so happy I gave up cars.
This kind of thing is technically illegal, but happens all the time. We should definitely expect to see lots of tactics that are technically illegal as companies fight back against this unionization push. But it does mean giving up direct control of their warehouse operations, which strikes me as unlikely, at least with only one shop having unionized so far.
It might be cost-prohibitive now, but is there any reason to think that it can't get cheaper?
It requires discipline and good review practices to consistently use either marketing or technical identifiers in any given layer, including UI and API.

They do have an odor to them, especially since most people tend to boil them to death but I can think of a hundred things more offensive in a confined space.
But each CO₂ produced by burning a hydrocarbon also means 2 H₂O (or 4 H₂O for methane), so that accounts for another 65 ppm (or more).

Only ~40% of the CO₂ produced since 1850 has stayed in the atmosphere. 130 ppm / 0.4 = 325 ppm. That's half the missing oxygen right there.
I have no use for architecture diagrams. Every diagram I've seen, ever, had the problem that it lacked sufficient detail to be of any use other than saying to non technical people "we have stuff, here's a pretty slide for you to prove that". That's literally the only reason I get asked to produce diagrams.

A diagram with sufficient detail to be actually of use to people like me would not fit on a slide. And it wouldn't be that useful. Because you'd have to study it to understand how it all fits together. You might as well inspect the real code base and learn way more in about the same time frame. In fact, that's what I do. In the rare case that there are diagrams at all they are extremely unlikely to be of any use whatsoever.

And if you are thinking I know nothing about the subject and must obviously be an idiot. I actually did my Ph. D. 20 years ago in this field. I read a lot of books, articles, etc. on this topic. I deeply immersed myself in this stuff.

So, my well informed opinion is that software architecture drawings serve no purpose whatsoever. Complete waste of time. Nice talking point on a whiteboard during a meeting. Wipe the board when the meeting ends.

Big OSS projects don't have diagrams. Even OSS projects that implement architecture drawing tools. I find that highly ironic. Tool makers that create UML drawing tools don't eat their own dog food. That should tell you all you need to know about such tools.
There were already many Rails like frameworks when it came to be, I never understood the hype, specially since I was part of one written in TCL back in 1999, whose core team went on to create OutSystems in 2001.
At one point I even considered taping over the lights with seethrough yellow ducttape. Just to dim them.
But since there's no behavioural difference, it doesn't matter if it's a complete rewrite or not.
What does "habitable" mean in the context that includes multiple alien species that evolved independently on different planets? After all, alien fishalikes that might have evolved in the methane lakes on Titan are unlikely to share our idea of "habitable"...

I shoot 35 at f/1.4 at full frame and am totally spoiled by that look. Being able to be close and intimate, to show the full body, and to isolate from the background mimics my myopic vision and just feels spot on.

Will be exploring Fujifilm but am afraid I’ll never get a similar look at that crop. F-stop remains the same light wise but the field of view is narrower and forces stepping away from the subject which reduces the blur.

I think I’ll live with it but it’s a difference that matters to me. Not enough to carry a full frame body though.
Low effort is pointing out just one thing that may or may not even help. This doesn't address the machine learning pieces, 100k sensors per restaurant, fryer sensors, everything else that is listed. It's a chicken sandwich restaurant. How much will all of this really buy over typical weekly/monthly/yearly sales trends?

It's not just CFA. I for some reason watched a Taco Bell video on LinkedIn that layed out one small problem regarding the ability to accept orders, and how a -completely- new k8s microservice architecture addressed it. This smells a lot of the same, mixed in with more tech overoptimism. GE had the same spiels 10 years ago, with better use cases, and realized most of it was a dead end.
This seems to pose an interesting question that's out of my pay grade. The fundamental problem seems to be: you've replaced two distinct systems (one new and far more capable + 1980s-era one that always works but lacks [new feature x100]) with the same one running on 2x different machines. So the weak point is you ultimately share the same database/data structures/memory+logic flows between two systems. So if you keep them in sync the distinction comes down to hardware and lower-end systematic issues.

But most orgs can't realistically have two distinct software systems. How do you create proper isolation or failure mechanisms between them?

I'm guessing this sort of thing is what you mean by their experience with ETOPS.
Finding a random rock in the ocean is still orders of magnitude easier than build a space ship to intercept random rocks in space.
You could also reveal the location or number of sensors as well, which they may not want to reveal.
Not to mention that you have to set the locale to C for character ranges to not be undefined behavior.

Nearly everyone else in America (and probably Italy) is going to think this sentiment is insane, but you're right on here.

The way this comes about has to do with the suburban model. When you're in an environment where traffic is commonplace, you can drive defensively or aggressively. During traffic crunches, defensive drivers are completely walked all over by aggressive drivers, and will easily double their time sitting in traffic. Leaving a safe distance means leaving room for people to dangerously merge.

This leads to a nash equilibrium of aggressive driving, and now you literally have Americans criticizing the idea of "brake-checking" tailgater as a way of signaling their displeasure at being tailgated (literally just tapping the brakes to slow down).

It's a completely messed up system, and it terrifies me that it seems to be spreading to other countries.

The difference comes when drawing inferences about the future development of Autopilot/FSD as these articles invariably do. This is completely different than day-to-day usage of the system. If you believe this was a failure of FSD, then maybe it's evidence we should stop the rollout of FSD or whatever. If it's a failure of Autopilot, then it is not evidence about the future behavior of FSD at all. FSD is a complete rewrite of Autopilot and is planned to soon replace it entirely including for freeway driving.
When I was at Walmart the holy grail was edge compute in every store (which I think is now live). There is a mainframe in each store that powers point-of-sale, inventory, etc. But in terms of building modern apps, you couldn't assume 24/7 local connectivity was a thing or that it would be fast enough for what you wanted to do.

Making each location its own failure domain was also a huge win. Imagine a cloud outage taking out hundreds of stores.
The use of ACC while towing is explicitly discouraged by my car's manual. There are also a number of other considerations that should be taken into account. These systems are practical, but not magic and users should try to understand them well before using.

> A few helmets and kevlar vests and a handful of Gepards without ammunition, but Leopard 2s?

German military support is in the same order of magnitude as other countries. Including heavy weapons. Don't bother linking news articles or opinion pieces. Here's an up-to-date primary source: https://www.ifw-kiel.de/publications/data-sets/ukraine-suppo...

It's totally fair to argue that Germany should deliver more stuff or heavier weapons, but the helmets and vests and corruption rhetoric is unwarranted.

Your take very exaggerated to say the least. Note that the Tesla was not part of the pile-up, the car behind it braked in time. But it takes only one driver to be a little too close to the car in front of them or to react a little too slowly and this is what happens, everywhere in the world.
