> I think if it did you would get obvious visual tearing at the boundaries of the different areas.

They could gradually blend the area with higher refresh rate to the peripheral images with lower refresh rate. You would probably not notice it because the resolution in our peripheral vision is terrible. Even with sharp tear lines it might not be noticeable if the frame rate is fast enough.

I don't think this is what they're doing, but it could be viable.

I think you're right about the other issue with foveated rendering of pass-through video. You really don't want to do much processing.

But imagine this: if you can control which line the camera starts on with its rolling shutter, you could start the camera and the display update a few lines above the point where your eye is focusing. You can blend the first few lines with the ones from the previous frame to make the tear line less obvious, which would require almost no processing. They may be processing a few lines at the time before sending it to the display for color correction, simple transformations, etc. Could be viable.
Why would you expect a cron task to work differently because a repo is a fork or not? Maybe Actions/Workflows shouldn’t be enabled by default on forks, which used to be the case but that has its problems too. You can disable actions on your forks.
This story kind of misses the point, and there's a whole lot that goes into "try" and "try harder".

Not everyone can do anything, but I think any individual person can do a lot. But are they trying and are they thinking about how they're trying?

"RISC" architectures are doing something effectively identical to uop fusion though. The real myth is the idea of a CISC/RISC dichotomy in the first place when frankly that notion only ever applied to the ISA specifications and not (except for the very earliest cores) CPU designs.

In point of fact beyond the instruction decode stage all modern cores look more or less identical.
It's funny, there's a small contingent of people who want to eliminate things like "no fault divorce". Ostensibly because they value the institution of marriage so much. It seems extremely counterproductive because if they get their way I suspect the number of people getting married will drop even more.
Chrome and Safari only accept certificates which are publicly logged in Certificate Transparency logs, so if a government actor uses a CA to issue malicious certificates, they run a high risk of being detected and having that CA distrusted.

When evidence came to light last year that Trustcor might be compromised by government actors, it was distrusted by browsers, as was Dark Matter before them. If you have any evidence that current CAs have been compromised, please provide it so they too can be distrusted.
Most of the time, you should not be inventing your own equivalents of off-the-shelf algorithms. (Let alone something like crypto.)

How much you evaluate the borrowed alternatives (or whether you even evaluate alternatives) entirely depends on how much that choice matters in the situation.

Situations in which the choice doesn't matter are very common, and in situations in which it doesn't matter.

The scientist isn't concerned with "does it matter" but with "does it make an observable difference". But the latter concern is often a luxury or idle preoccupation for the engineer.

Writing code is mostly a kind of engineering; more rarely is it science.

Engineers usually select existing materials and patterns of putting them together to put together a solution.

Engineering isn't entirely creative in every detail, like painting or music. Even painters and musicians reuse from others.

It would, and I think this is pretty clear, behoove you not to use words like "No faithful Catholic in his right mind will tell you", because (a) one just did, and (b) it makes you sound like a sedevacantist, which is I think not what you're going for.

To me, and, I think, to a lot of mainstream ("actual") Catholics, the position you're taking is the spiritual equivalent of the people who pay way too much for fancy speaker cables because they insist they triangle tested it and the expensive cables sound better.

I've long hated dealerships and their lobbying, but it's never occurred to me until now that it's odd that non-Tesla manufacturers don't out-lobby car dealerships (which they could easily do in terms of resources). It would lower the end cost for the consumer and therefore allow them to sell more cars, right? One study shows it would cut costs by 8.6%, which is huge
I found that Plex was pretty upfront about how membership works. I was happy to pay for a lifetime membership given the usage I’ve gotten out of it.

No one is denying that the things reddit or Google did are bad for the users. The discussion was whether it is bad for the company's shareholders.

As a company, Google kind of succeeded even after killing lot of products and only keep the products which are relevant for the ads at least till now. And keep the focus on scaling ads at the cost of user satisfaction.
“Libraries” is what Plex calls “collections” I think Emby/Jellyfin use the same terminology, but don’t quote me on that.

After you create a Plex instance, you still need to go and create a “Movies” library, a “TV Shows” library, maybe a “Music” library, an “Audiobooks” Library and so on. Those are the ones that show on the left panel in the Web UI, TV App etc. It’s how you manage your media in general

During initial setup, Plex will show you a list of “Default Libraries” that have names like “Discover”, “Web”, etc. You can unselect them. You can also remove them from your Library list later on.

Every 6 months or so I give Jellyfin a try, and always come back to Plex.

I heavily use Plex DVR. Jellyfin is not even close in that regard.

Beyond that, I always find annoying bugs with Jellyfin. The last time I tried it, it couldn't handle Photo libraries well.

Also, I need it to work on Roku, and the experience has always been poor.

I understand some people have very limited needs (stream files on their PC onto their phone), but many people pay for Plex to get other features. While Plex is somewhat user hostile, they have delivered, and continue to do so.

The author hits the nail on the head with his claim that imaginary problems are more fun than real ones.

As developers and smart folks in general, we like complicated problems that are big and far away. How many times have I heard in a meeting, "Yeah, but when we have 1M users..."

It's great fun to think your product will get to 1M users. It's also very unlikely. It's not nearly as fun to finish and ship and market and monetize the half-broken thing the team is working on now. Yet that's the only way out and the only way anyone gets to 1M users to begin with.
Test them submerged in a fluid with (approximately) the same density and the material they're made of and they are "weightless" for all intents and purposes. The fluid will add some other dynamics which are not present in a vacuum so the test will not be entirely accurate but it will show whether the mechanism does what it is supposed to, mostly.
Kind of an odd undertaking, though. The biggest improvement you can get with IEMs by far is custom fitting. You could take one of those middle-of-the-pack IEMs from that big list, spend a few hundred on fitted tips, and get a better result than the non-custom stuff at the top of the list.

It might not be the same for you. But this is what I enjoy when I study anything. Filling up the gaps in my knowledge and learning about new ways to think or understand about a concept. Maybe you shouldn't dive so deep into the concepts. Just write all the topics/concepts you didn't understand while learning something and watch one video about each of them.

On mobile and laptop front, Apple's chips are the worlds most advanced chips because of their performance per watt. On desktop, where efficiency is of no concern and all you want is performance, it puts the whole Apple Silicon on desktop in question. Are people who buy desktop Mac products getting their money's worth compared to buying a desktop PC?
This reads like a rant from Richard Dawkins.
> What I did was use the same endpoints that MLB used for their website.

Yes, MLB has/had multiple wide open APIs for grabbing real-time data. You can get 100+ data points for every single pitch, including how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitchers hand.

The major, major, major caveat is that the API includes a notice stating that usage of their API is for non-commercial purposes only, unless you have prior written permission. I’ve spoken with people that have tried to walk the line very closely, and they universally state that MLB lawyers are tenacious (but fair).

I doubt this service has any chance of surviving without some sort of license - if they’re using the MLB APIs.

Creating a plasma in one's kitchen has all sorts of effects - some useful, some less so. Cooking food using pretty much any method also creates all sorts of effects, gustatory and otherwise. If there's insufficient airflow when cooking with gas, carbon monoxide can be created as with charcoal. Very bad, that stuff.

A workaround would be to cook where there is good, possibly augmented, airflow such that the food is warm but the surrounding air is exchanged as often as possible. And don't worry about aromatics from cooking as they're sloshing around in all those ICE vehicles in far, far greater quantity. Along with other nasties produced in bulk in city centres.
I assume all of them, just not in the US
Trying to move away from Plex on my Apple TV, I installed Jellyfin. Server-side, installation was painless. The Swiftfin Apple TV client, however, is basically unusable. It only allows you to connect to a server instance via unencrypted http://, including user and password. Indexing is buggy (it seems to think I don't have any TV shows), metadata lookup seems almost nonexistent, with base filenames everywhere and no organization. Playback, lastly, seems to crash with half my files. Which are nothing special, 1080p h264 encodes with normal settings.

The hard part here is telling the difference between a pure phantasm of an imaginary problem and innovation. Things that have never been done (or never really been done well) might look as far off as hypotheticals.

I do think that “imaginary problem” is the answer most of the time though. Most things that look like unnecessary complexity or hobby horses really are.
Can GPT-4 solve hard medical cases?
It was inspired by him, a sort of philosophically oriented professor of religious history, attending an interdisciplinary conference on game theory in which he was the token philosopher.

But his book is more about play, novelty, authenticity, open-endedness, paradox and "life in general".

It emphases always keeping in mind the nesting of competition and cooperation and that one should always leave open the possibility to tweak the rules to keep the game in play (reminds me of fallibilsm).

I think he was influenced by Nicolas of Cusa's On Learned Ignorance hence the title oh another Carse book, The Religious Case Against Belief:

> "Therefore, every inquiry proceeds by means of a comparative relation, whether an easy or a difficult one. Hence, the infinite, qua infinite, is unknown; for it escapes all comparative relation." — Nicholas of Cusa, De Docta Ignorantia (On Learned Ignorance)

Also Carse's book has footnotes but no bibliography!

I actually read it through the lens of AGI but that was not his intention. Because of that it pairs well with Kenneth Stanley and Joel Lehman's Myth of the Objective.

>Line employees often do not have a big picture understanding of the work they are doing.

And executives do not understand the details of what is actually happening on the production floor. They might be fed inaccurate information or outright fantasies by middle management. This is how Russian leadership believed they had winter uniforms, but in reality those uniforms did not exist. The same power dynamics, hiding of errors, exaduration of what convenient, happens in companies.

>For the same reason I've seen lots of instances of people complaining about leadership decisions, thinking the work could be done differently or more efficiently, questioning priorities, etc. They don't have the executive view that is looking across the organization.

So you could use the same logic to say that electorate has no business complaining about decisions taken by politicians, after all they have no big picture view and don’t have access to the report that politicians do.
Not at all! Having basically no knowledge in that area, aside from a vague understanding of the purpose and uses of information theory, it is more than welcome!

> the original comment didn't mention disposable income

It was pointing out that the chosen isn’t the signal it’s being positioned as.

> Loudoun County has the 3rd highest average household disposable income and a low poverty rate, so again should be a great location for a mall

Source? (Purely for curiosity.) Averages don’t matter. Aggregates do. If I am a county of one, even with tremendous disposable income, a good location for a mall I do not make.

Malls are absolutely in structural decline. But pointing to median and average metrics is misleading, though not in an uncommon way.

> I wonder why you're on your third pair of Marshall Mode EQs :)

I guess it's a mix between nostalgia and me just liking how the songs I like sound on them. They're the first pair of in-ears I bought myself.

> I think the EQs have a pretty mediocre build quality

I'll agree with you on that. The first pair lasted a year and the second not much longer. Then I just went with whatever. Two years ago I wanted to try out "good" in-ears and bought a pair of Moondrop Starfields. They were okay, but a bit flat, the cable broke, bought a different cable, which I've stepped on. Then I remembered that I was a fan of the Mode EQs like 6 years ago and bought a pair out of curiosity, which was end of 2022. And I just really like how they sound, and that they're light, and that they fit well, and that they look good. I don't know...I just like them :D

Your explanation about measured profiles and Wavelet/EasyEffects sounds intriguing. I think I will try this approach with a different pair of headphones, I really wonder what you can get out of cheap in-ears. I tried to use EQs from time to time but I always end up tuning things for 30m without especially satisfying results. AutoEQ would help because it's automated :D Thanks!
If you have a probability distribution over patterns you are likely to find in a file, then the Shannon entropy gives you the best losslessly compressed filesize you can achieve.

Kolmogorov complexity is the length of the shortest computer program in some programming language that can generate your file. It gives the same number across different programming languages, up to an uncomputable and likely very large additive constant. It’s a more universal notion of compressibility than Shannon entropy, because it doesn’t depend on a probability distribution, but it is uncomputable.

The concepts are related because for any programming language, you can see it as corresponding to a probability distribution such that p(x) \propto 2^-(length of the program that generates x).
Where are those long queues, lack of choice, etc. - not my experience. Maybe there is some country specificity to it?
Strongly agree with this. Plex’s DVR functionality was very shaky to start with and I switched to using Channels, which to be honest is better than anything else at being a DVR. But it’s $60 a year and Plex costs me nothing (because I bought a lifetime membership years ago) so I switched back.

Every time I tried Jellyfin the DVR stuff had weird problems and the client apps were notably inferior. In fairness I haven’t checked in a while.
Well said. It's a relative of the premature optimization problem. I often think of them as unearned problems.
New to golang, I have recently started looking at some of the open source projects in golang. Looking a at some of the code you get to see that there are producers and there are consumers.

The problem is you won't see them connected in a single stack trace which makes looking at the flow of data in the system difficult. I mean there are profiling tools but they don't go that far.

Another way is to put print on log statements all over function on their entry and exit and try to find a coherent flow.

How do people wrriting golang everyday deal with this problem?
It's not unrealistic, the progress in this area is fast and results already quite good.
Nice, I wish it was a little easier to integrate these models into Chat UIs like the one from Vercel or even a simple Gradio app.

The idea that you build software from a fixed archive is passé. Everything must be a git clone. Or if they don't use git, you muddle along with hg.
I’ve personally been using Infuse as my Jellyfin Apple TV client and for the most part it addresses those issues, and more importantly it doesn’t attempt to live transcode video, which may be what’s causing the crashes you’re describing. The main downside is that there’s a monthly fee if you want it to support 4k video.
