UCLA Film and Television Archive in Santa Clarita, with 120 vaults - https://www.dailynews.com/2019/08/12/uclas-film-television-a...

PRO-TEK’s nitrate film services, "PRO-TEK is one of the few places left in the world that manages nitrate film vaults for clients. The nitrate vaults are located several miles away from our Burbank campus." - https://protekvaults.com/blog/nitrate-film-preservation/

The notes about one of the nitrate shows at https://www.cinematary.com/writing/2019/5/9/2019-nitrate-pic... says:

> Putting this festival on requires a great deal of inter-archival cooperation--prints were sourced from across the United States (the Big Five archives for nitrate are the Academy, UCLA, MoMa, the Library of Congress, and the Eastman itself) and from international archives, notably the Swedish Film Institute (supplied Strandhugg), KAVI in Helsinki (supplied Ihmiset suviyössä), and the Austrian Film Museum (supplied The Nevadan)

Using those as search terms:

The Library of Congress Motion Picture Conservation Center at Wright-Patterson AFB. "Today, under the stewardship of M/B/RS, the nitrate film holdings, dating from the 1890's through 1950, exceed 100 million feet." - https://www.loc.gov/rr/mopic/mpcc.html

I verified that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has nitrate film, because https://www.oscars.org/film-archive/collections/iron-mountai... lists some of them, but I wasn't able to figure out where they are stored.

MoMA has nitrate prints. From https://clui.org/ludb/site/museum-modern-art-film-archive :

> There are only a few film archives in the country that store nitrate film, and they include the major film archives in the nation: the two Packard archives (Culpeper, Virginia, and Santa Clarita, California); the George Eastman House’s Louis B. Mayer Conservation Center in Chili, New York; and the Museum of Modern Art Film Archive, in Hamlin, Pennsylvania. MoMA’s collection is the largest private film collection in the world. Most of it is located in this purpose built 33,000 square foot, two-building, partially underground compound on 37 acres of woodland and meadows in the Pocono Mountains. Also known as the Cesleste Bartos Film Preservation Center.
What I love best about VR is that instead of puppeteering an avatar with a joystick, you get to do a lot of these visceral actions yourself. How this translates in real is that I no longer need to do a traditional cardio workout. I can now get the same work done while playing VR video games. I’ve lost about half 15 lbs so far

Of course for anyone who is not fond of moving or exercise due to health or other personal reasons, they’re not going to like the need to move for VR for now. I’ve seen some potential near term solutions though

As for the face bucket of isolation problem that you’ve cited, the latest gen VR devices have nearly solved this problem. Most AR focused devices like the nreal or meta quest pro are more open instead of enclosed. I have peripheral vision because it doesn’t hug my face. I’m guessing that Apple will also solve this problem within 1-2 years. Video games was just an afterthought for Apple Reality which is a good sign
I don't know. When OP describes their community of "furry queer hackers," I can't help but notice that the link to the autism spectrum goes overlooked. While it's very good to find one's people, it's dangerous to define yourself by these kinds of online personas. Autistic people tend to be drawn to and identify with cartoons, animals, and exaggerated displays of emotion — from deficits in the subtler forms of empathy or theory of mind, I don't know. Combine this sometimes highly visible trait with their (our) tendency to obsess and dominate online conversations and it's not hard to see why outsiders are uninterested in paying a visit to the deeper end of autistic-coded fandom where furries, anime fans, and children's media obsessives collect. I'm cishet autistic but I knew a lot of "furry queer hacker" types online when I was a teenager. I think that autistic people are uniquely vulnerable to over-identification with their online disguises; replacing human connections with pseudonymous communities that don't ask too much of them. I'm not telling OP to touch grass or whatever, because I don't know OP, but maybe this will resonate with someone.
There's nothing in JavaScript forcing you to use 500 dependencies across 100 000 folders either. Opinions on a programming language are often, for better or worse, opinions on the language plus its community/ecosystem. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the company responsible for maintaining Java (Sun, now Oracle) also one of the worst offenders in terms of naming things in its middleware?
A dollar an hour for this work? They are the ones who make chatgpt more human like than anyone else, and they are paid pocket change to do this? All while the PR proclaimed child prodigy Altman is set to change the world with his magic bot that can't tell for itself if the content is explicit?

So much for a bot which can make "inference" and has "human-like reasoning" capabilities.
You'd be surprised talking to the younger crowd.
I'm sorry, but I'm declining to do that, because I recognize the message board conversational pattern where all the information you have about the subject is coming from comments rebutting you (this is apparent from things you've said already that fundamentally misapprehend how CT works), and, rather than acknowledging any of that information, you just use it as vocabulary for new misapprehensions.
There is no such thing as a 'victimless activity' so your point is moot.

Do you run Vicuna locally or have you had any success in deploying it somewhere? I have been thinking of using a fine-tuned model but haven't found anything cost effective where I cab deploy it. You either run the machine where it's served consistently and the cost is in the hundreds or you accept extremely slow starts.
This seems to be a common thing in "disruptive technology". The companies see it like "OMG we build this amazing environment, we can't wait for you to use it" but company policies see little to no value in actually adopting it themselves.

Sometimes this works if some niche will adopt it and let the system grow with them but it's very rare
Using sherpas is cheating yourself out of reality. Normalising using sherpas is a display of deep corruption.
>Having the keyword for variables and constants is fine (i.e. top down and bottom up constraints need to be dictated) but you shouldn't need to write constexpr more than that.

This.

Constexpr should have been at the eval site, i.e something like:

consteval auto x = foo();

And foo() is just a normal function, if the compiler can eval it at compile time - all good - if not, compiler error.
Sometimes we say puns on purpose, and sometimes we realize what we're saying is a pun as we're saying it, so we often distinguish which is which.

A “Pay-to-Quit” Strategy Can Reveal Your Most Motivated Employees
After a brief scan I’d call the full change reviewable enough I could do it in a sitting. Most of it looks reviewable on my phone. But seeing >30 commits, I’d pause. Partly because I’ve become a lot more sensitive to the impact of commit history itself, partly because the quick scan of such a small change set doesn’t seem to line up with so many commits, but mostly because it implies much more context exists than the attention I’d pay if it came pre-squashed.

That kind of implication stops me in my tracks to learn more. I’ve spent literal days tracking down the meaning of single line code changes through multiple dozens of commits, sometimes across repo boundaries (ahem the original author’s suggestion of deprecating in favor of a fork comes to mind).

The size of this particular PR only becomes a factor when any one of those numerous commits can become that rabbit hole. How many humans’ days are going to be spent tracing history through this particular merge? For how many different reasons? I didn’t even look at the changes midway, but how many nuances are buried in there and lost unless this weird bundle of changes is preserved?
Wait, I don't get the last bit. Did he go to the casino, exchange $40k in cash for chips, not gamble at all with them, and then take the chips to the cashier to get it changed back to cash?

That's... weird? I feel like as a casino it'd not be unreasonable to think something fishy was going on, like the guy was making a (somewhat clumsy?) attempt to launder money.

But overall... yeah. Certainly a casino has the right to refuse service to whomever they want -- such as someone who's counting cards (not that counting works at blackjack these days, since no casino deals out a single full deck at a time anymore) -- but the idea that they don't feel they have to honor whatever payouts owed up to the point of kicking someone out... messed up.
That is quite nice!
No — the entire rest of the world uses various incompatible systems.
I think you should be able to to a read-only, unauthenticated implementation of ActivityPub just using ActivityStreams files.

The grout when tiling allows for a fair amount of fudging things, though from experience exactly dimensioned tiles are MUCH easier to work with.
The yellow section in the video dissolved a bit earlier than I anticipated, around 0:23, but I noticed that there are a few missing pixels on the left edge. It could be due to lower resolution or the need for clearer indications. Perhaps improving either the resolution or providing clearer visual cues, such as eliminating shaded edges on the border, could enhance the experience. But sitll, I find this variation of Tetris with sand elements to be quite fascinating and a unique twist on the traditional game. Great job bro!

This long form article was excellent in audio mode.

What’s interesting is that there is a market for artists today even though their hits were from previous generations: the new aristocracy were once high schoolers and are now are adults looking for unique experiences.
That's hardly "changing the law" - that was invoking an existing law in the face of a valid national security risk. Granted law makers voted to extend the law slightly, never the less, the law has always existed in Canada.

I would never want to live in a Canada where payment processors are blind to transactions and the government couldn't freeze accounts of extremists/terrorists.

As someone who has implemented code revolving around Level 3 data, the information provided is often of incredibly low quality.

Many shopping carts don't bother sending the data, because they'd rather say "let's support 900 obscure payment platforms in a de-minimis way" than "let's support a handful WELL"

Then there's actually getting the right information into the message to the processor. There's vague and inconsistent documentation on how to tag things like "commodity codes" and data formatting (Should the per-unit price be rendered as $12.79 or $12.7903?)

Even if you have the right intentions, you can easily blow things up by just having out-of-bounds data-- encoding a nonsense discount or tax rate.

What happens is that people set up software that sets up bare-minimum and mediocre data for every order that's good enough to get the "you sent level 3 data" rates, and the actual visibility is still quite poor.

Maybe there are some top-tier merchants who actually do everything right, but there's a hell of a lot of noise amid the signal.
I am sorry but this sounds revolting! :) I don't want the ghost of my day time job to haunt me after hours.
This is why multiple SCT entries are required. Could you subvert all of this with enough effort? Yes, and the same is true of dnssec. Any form of cryptographic validation is only as secure as the control of its private keys, but modern TLS is designed to require you to compromise at least 3 independent parties in the TLS ecosystem to provide a plausible fake. And at that point why not just get the browser vendor to push a fake update to the user that disables TLS validation entirely? You're either doing all validation yourself, or you're trusting someone. Modern TLS avoids you needing to place trust in any one organisation from the TLS perspective, which makes attacks on other infrastructure components much more appealing.
Why do you think so? They're already illegal.
Yes, quite similar, if we also stipulate that the whole "company" is a single project exposed to far more mercurial risks, staffed almost entirely with a dynamically changing hodgepodge of contractors, agencies, and free agents, with a definite (albeit uncertain) completion date. Sometimes, with unicorn-level sums of cash, hustle, and ruthless market competition expended to boot. And where your first week in theaters (two if you're lucky) is where you might make back your money.

Avatar, for example, is estimated to have consumed about ~500 MM USD in production, distribution, and promotion. If you spend that much, you are going to elbow out all the competition from theaters and OTT and what have you come launch time.
> Verifying an NFT has no advantages over verifying a random string that only the intended user has. i.e. traditional bearer tokens of some sort.

I’m so tired of seeing people confidently post like this about crypto. There has been so much effort put into explaining, you really have no excuse anymore to parrot it.

Very easy rebuttal: NFTs can be minted in exchange for currency and can be traded between owners later – both functionalities rely on infrastructure that already exists. More complex rebuttal: you can get peer-to-peer (and even peer-to-pool) loans using your NFT as collateral (again, using permissionless infrastructure that is already built for you). How is any of this applicable right now to a HTTP header?!

Also, the only people I ever heard of mentioning “videogames fully on chain” are crypto opponents; they try to come up with the most bizarre scenarios, to “prove” that crypto is inadequate. It’s so irrational.

> Afaik the most popular use case for chains is trading crypto assets.

Yeah, it’s almost like blockchains are designed to be financial infrastructure. At least you got the basics right, I guess.
Restaurants in the US are absurdly expensive. Not only is the food expensive, but the 25% expected tip is ridiculous. (Tipping doesn't exist in Japan, and in Europe basically consists of rounding up, if any.) It's not just Japan; western Europe is also generally much cheaper for restaurants (when comparing similar quality).

One big difference I see between the two is the level of service expected. In the US, the waiters are constantly interrupting and bugging the customers, hoping for a bigger tip. In Europe and Japan, this doesn't happen; you need to signal to your server that you need something, and there generally seems to be less staff as a result, which reduces costs.

Basically, this is just another way that America is broken compared to the rest of the developed world, and it's not just the strength of the dollar.
> I naïvely hoped I could just fix it with a bucket tool but it's not as simple, lol.

It's way simpler than that: open it, click it; you'll see everything is selected, so it's grouped (also visible in the status bar that describes the selection). Double click to enter the group; now you can select the correct shape. Once you have selected the shape you want to change, you can change its color by using the color bar, or bring up the color selector (from the UI, background and outline, or Ctrl-Shift-F).

However, I'd be cautious before modifying it. Do you have a better source than these for the colors? Ideally, in writing.

I can see some red eyes and black claws (with a central gradient similar to the one on the prickly pears) on your [3], which is closest to the Wikimedia image. The other two images have different colors and shapes for a lot of elements, including the plants.

There doesn’t seem to be any documentation either.
In a couple of languages, things like portable propane tanks are commonly, although not officially, referred to as "gas bombs" (literal translation)
That page explains that Chrome (which is best in class here - most IOT devices don't do any of this stuff) fails open:

> If the installed version of Chrome has not applied security updates and has been unable to obtain an updated CT log list from the Component Updater for 70 days or more, then CT enforcement will be disabled.

That means a global adversary need merely block the update channel to targeted devices and wait. How will a Smart TV behave?
Good points.

I’d avoid overloading a standard library function name like free().

Your request for syntax for assertions reminds me of the ‘guard’ keyword in Swift, which is good for making sure of preconditions.
I’d hate to work there. I’d rather review small chunks and merge often than review 5k lines that could be built on a shaky foundation/idea

This is not at all a huge PR. Sometimes I make thousand line changes (or way over that), although in most cases it is just me working on a project. Changing a couple files (like in this PR) should be OK.
No. The issue is that you quickly have trillions of rows. You don't need a relational db setup or fancy non-relationary db solutions. Both are well known anti-patterns. One row per sample falls over quickly for regularly sampled data.

What does work for large regularly sampled datasets is array storage solutions like hdf, or image formats, etc etc.

It's the same reason and same approach for your vacation photos. You wouldn't put each pixel in the db, but you might very well have a db with a row for each photo.

Use a db for the non-regular portions (e.g. an index of datasets) and array storage for the actual data itself.
That is illegal in most countries though

Or both.

The story of Ethernet is kinda interesting. Invented in 1974 at Xerox PARC, the inventors started a new company called 3COM in 1979, and worked with IEEE, as well as DEC, Intel, and Xerox (called the DIX - I'm not kidding) for all of them to join forces and support one new standard. IEEE project to standardize it started in 1980, and formal standard publication happened in 1983. International (ISO) publication was in 1989.

Business decides what becomes the new standard, because the biggest businesses are whom everyone is dependent upon. So the biggest companies do set the new standards. Google has been doing that for years, using its search market dominance and custom browser as carte blanche to shape the web as it sees fit. CloudFlare has come in the back door, and doesn't have anywhere near the same influence, but does control a powerful market segment that is growing. Add in the cloud providers, and that's most of whom actually matter in terms of where the web goes.

Where the "internet" (sans web) goes is, I think, more up to the operating systems and ISPs. But since everything has been pushed into the web to avoid the manipulation of the "middle boxes" (ISPs and corporate networks), the end result is the people who control 'the web' (Google and CloudFlare) can now dictate terms.
How do you think we got to where we are today?
I think that’s all accounted for.
These spots either have a “cars not charging will be towed” sign or charge $/min once you are full. I doubt anyone would call a tow truck in the middle of the night. I haven’t bothered testing what happens if the car unlocks the cable, the thing will probably still charge the overages. I end up finding a time to charge during the day.
GF said she had to cancel and switch to subscribing through Amazon because it wanted her to use an HDMI cable connected to her phone to play on the TV after the switch to Max.
You're moving the goalposts to a ridiculous degree. Chrome will be incredibly angry at you if you haven't updated in 70 days. How will a smart TV behave? I've no idea. It's probably not paying any attention to dnssec (otherwise pihole and co wouldn't work), so I don't think you're presenting a credible alternative.
Yeah, most of these things are extremely processed low quality stuff, very high in salt/sugar and additives.
Even for the interesting snacks like dried calamari or candied kelp for instance, you'd have far better options buying from a normal supermarket.
I unfortunately have never worked in a company where product managers are actually accomplishing their job descriptions due to the fact that most simply do not code and do not understand engineering in depth and hence can’t concrete/feasible action on where to take the product. I feel like at least in my personal experience things would’ve turned out the same with only engineers and managers and that most PMs work fit into David Graeber‘s Bullshit jobs (box tickers, taskmasters).
Also all the electronic tie-ins from cashless transactions. I've seen less technical friends getting their email or phone number tied to transactions, or installing apps to complete them.
Agree. It’s template TS, which is why I shied away from it when I first encountered it. I do think it has some language service support FWIW, but I don’t want even more new arbitrary syntax in a constantly churning language. I do want TS macros, I just want them to be compile time functions over existing syntax with, well… lisp but I can’t have that.
