E.g. MPEG4 videos are usually made of I-frames (full frames), P-frames (predictions based on older images) and B-frames (predictions based on older and future pictures), and from these Group Of Pictures are made, which always start with an I-frame.

You cannot make frame-precise cuts within this sequence unless you wish to carry on the frames that won't be visible (and I don't think anyone tries to do these cuts by keeping some invisible frames), so you only get to make such edits that always include the first I-frame of the sequence.

Therefore if you want to make completely lossless edits your editing precision is lost. For frame-precise editing one usually ends up re-encoding the stream.

Of course, you could only re-encode only the GoPs that get broken while keeping the rest intact, and I guess this would be better and a lot faster than re-encoding everything. I don't know if any application tries to do this. But that is also a bit troublesome, as you'd like to use the same encoding parameters—and maybe the same encoder—as the other frames, to not have quality differences between the edits and original.
Thanks for clarifying the rules.

In retrospect, my original comment was probably too terse. It's not obvious if I was suggesting that "(2019)" be added to the title, or if I was claiming that the article was outdated for some reason. That's my fault.

The “monopoly on violence” just means that the government is the only one that can legitimately use force to enforce its rules.

No polity has an actual monopoly on violence within its borders because anyone can make a shiv and stab someone or start their own violent gang or militia.

Extreme outliers arent useful to the discussion. If all people were capable of outputting this volume of shit at scale, then LLMs wouldn't be changing the game. But people aren't, and LLMs are a net enshittening force.
It doesn't, it is up to the compiler and optimizer to decide how to go at it.

Vector instructions, replacing library functions with compiler intrisics, splitting structs across registers and stack, unrolling loops are all examples absent from the language standard.
There were no objects before the CMBR. The universe was so hot that atoms couldn't even form. Once it cooled to the point where hydrogen atoms came into existence, the CMBR became possible. I'm talking at the limits of my knowledge, so allow me to refer you to this video by Fermilab that's pretty good.

I… don’t like this.

You are basically saying we should take a name that conveys info about its content (companyName) and change it to something that contains none (pageTitle).

I can tell if a field is being used for a page title by looking at the html, I can’t tell what it contains unless it is named well. Additionally if I ever want to hop into the backend my time on the frontend will have given me 0 context if you are renaming all the fields.

Also if you want to use Typescript this would prevent a bunch of automated type generation you could do.
This can easily be resolved by not buying an Apple phone and buying a phone that still retains a physical SIM slot.

Interesting idea, but you're not getting any entropy for free by going back in time. If you wanted to map every possible file of a set length to a specific time and location where it's stored, you'd still need, in general, the same number of bits as you would for the file itself, because you'd have to describe that many distinct time/location pairs.
We really dodged a bullet on eSIM. The implementation could have really sucked if the carriers controlled it from the start. Apple do a lot of dumb shit but they set a really high bar for an eSIM implementation for others to match.
OMG. I'm so sorry to see this news!

In our current understanding of the world (quantum mechanics), the world is inherently probabilistic ("random", not deterministic) in the microscopic realm. There are differing opinions among physicists whether or not there could be a more fundamental layer of reality beyond this, and if so, whether it would be deterministic. Notably it could be said the mainstream view is that reality is not deterministic.
The sea of matrix math is the fundamental way these things work. You could grossly simplify individual patterns to small explicit algorithms but this is the way for general patterns. Compress your information, and then synthesize its new information with your understanding of the world into insights.
It uses PyQt. I'm not sure I'd put much money on it being faster than an Electron app. The only other PyQt app I have used is Cura and that is ridiculously slow. Takes like a minute to start up and you can watch it loading the controls when there are a lot of them.

I'd take Electron over that tbh.

The is exactly what HTMX does and it works: allow returning a HTML response and statically annotating a part of the DOM to be replaced with that.

Granted, this requires JavaScript on the front end, but it's a framework that can be shared between different websites, so you're not writing any custom JavaScript for your site.

What is a "hate-speech account"? Is it one where name-calling and ridiculing individuals with hit-list style rundowns is celebrated? Like what you're doing? Or is what you're doing "love speech" and I'm just not seeing it?
Broad and stratified. To use an LLM to keep up with current events you need to be able to go around OAIs censors. Even better you can implement and fine tune your own LLM- I can see all these resources available but don't have the know how to take full advantage of them.

Maybe this disparity goes all the way up- can we know there's not some Singleton out there creating AGIs already?

In a way, this article tries to bring the alignment between the frontend and backend closer to the full stack days, while also acknowledging the increased complexity of the front-end, that may be deserving of its own team focused on great UX.
> Bigelow's decision to completely close the property to entry by other researchers, and hiring a small security force to keep people out, has been taken as a bit of an affront. This coincided with his signing a number of media deals including a "Curse of Oak Island"-esque History Channel series, creating the appearance that Bigelow is more interested in finding funding and press than finding the truth.

as noted in the linked article, Bigelow sold the ranch to Brandon Fugal, who has continued research with a private team, closed off access, and now has two television shows about the ranch and other phenomena.

> Also, if the Constitution is interpreted in a way which allows persecution of political opponents, then the Constitution in more trouble than Trump is.

If it allowed prosecution of people for being political opponents, sure, but that’s not the issue. (And its interesting that almost everyone making this case has, both before and even after making it, argued for the prosecution of their political opponents.)

OTOH, allowing political opposition to be a “get out of insurrection free” card, is an obvious existential risk.

> Nick Land puts it well: “If Trump is jailed, every US President will be from this point onwards.”

Even if I agreed that was true (which I don’t), it would be a lesser problem than “if an attempted autocoup is unpunished for Trump, the next US President elected freely will be the last.”
You’ll have to register your devices soon.
The Samsung Z Flip 5 has this too :( Only 1 real SIM and the rest only eSIM.

However it is a bit more understandable because the flip has very limited space due to the hinge components.
Thanks for your input. Since you're knowledgeable about this, can I ask about the thermodynamics part? My understanding is that thermodynamics involve macroscopic laws that are based on microscopic laws. This is similar to how chemistry depends on physics.

So why must thermodynamics be included in this list? Isn't all of macroscopic (thermodynamics) physics derived from the microscopic just like chemistry?

Non-physicist here. Was hoping this would do something for me, but unfortunately... Very first line, I look up "Lagrangian" to see what L means, and I get ten different definitions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian. I'm guessing it's the one that says kinetic minus potential energy, but that seems arbitrary (unlike the sum which would be total energy). Couldn't this be more specific?

Most of the other lines have terms/constants/variables that I've never heard of or don't remember from school, and usually it's "Lagrangian" again. I don't know what it means to fix, restrict, yield, or complete a Lagrangian. I could keep reading about that, but at this point I don't think I'm learning physics the right way. If there's one thing I remember from class, it's that there aren't many shortcuts here; usually you have to start at fundamentals and prove your way up.

Also, idk how entropy ≥ (some constant) implies thermodynamics, and seems the physicists here don't see it either.
Yea, this is the story that marketers tell themselves so they can sleep at night: "Well, I'm different! Unlike everyone else, my product is high quality! People will want to see it!" All ~10M marketers in the world excuse their actions with this rubbish.
Do you have some data on that? My experience is that conscientious people get rewarded with misery.
Exactly what I needed, thanks! Seems like the perfect company for self-studying physics next to any other STEM-related study (that keeps your math somehow up to date)!
I think the usual rule of conspiracy theories applies: in the absence of actual evidence, go with Occam’s razor. We know Musk spends a LOT of time on Twitter and he disagreed with some of their moderation policies around issues which were catching some of his political friends such as pandemic misinformation or trans rights (especially after becoming estranged from his trans daughter).

Everything we’ve seen so far fits the theory that he didn’t have a plan other than changing their policies and has been winging it ever since.
A limit to the speed of causality makes physics so much simpler. Without it you'd need to factor in the interaction of every particle with every other particle in the universe.
> it was just a refusal to accept your moving the goalposts.

Moving goal posts! Were on the topic of missions to land the south pole of the moon.

You move the goal posts from landing on the south pole to any mission to the moon and add in a caveat of 100 success rate.

Disproven there you claim if the mission didn't leave earth orbit it's not relevant. Disproven there.

You move the goal posts to entirely to UN votes!

Hahahaha what on earth are you smoking?!

I for one will look forwards to India pulling this off, an achievement no other nation has managed..not even the US.
> in C you kinda just have compiler flags, and maybe __attribute__-s if you can spare some verbosity

Which you can use to wrap the unaligned type as a packed struct, i.e.

which has an alignment of 1.
I don’t really understand the divisiveness of changes like this at all.

I already say “allowlist” and “denylist” habitually. Whether or not that matches my sociopolitical ideology, that’s just where the industry is at this point, so I’m there too.

Everything in technology is constantly changing, and that is neither good nor bad in my view. It seems strange to be outraged by a change in vernacular when that’s amongst the easiest changes we face in industry generally. I say, save the anger for when SAP stops investing in on-prem, when Azure signing keys are compromised, when your storage vendor loses your data, or when your upstream vendor changes licenses on you, etc.

But they do control it. This is a big problem in Europe. You can't get one on a prepay contract with most of the local carriers, they limit the phones they will allow them to be used on to only locally sold versions, and they often charge for a SIM swap or limit the amount of times you can change phones per month.

None of these limitations were present with physical SIMs.
Cheap flights and cheap - and reliably warm - holidays in Spain ruined the British seaside town, which were largely reliant on tourism once fishing was taken out of the equation (assuming fishing was in it at all originally).

Anyone living there with any skills or potential have to leave to get good jobs elsewhere. Typical brain drain and related decline.
Are there any standard ToS? One of the biggest advantages of open source for me, is that I can see "GPL2" or "MIT" or whatever, and immediately know what I can do with the software.

Leeches. A four month therapy made my allergies better by magnitudes.

I had problems with my knees and after being through basically all kinds of normal therapy I tried unconventional remedies. Nothing like homeopathy but natural remedies. In this case three medical leeches applied to my knee area every month for four months in total.

Knee still hurt as bad as before. But I suddenly noticed that it was April already and I didn't need any Zyrtec. In that season I went from taking around 100 before to 0. The allergies are not completely gone but are merely a tiny nuisance now, not in need of pharmacological intervention.
And yes it was bad. I had anaphylactic reactions when I was around 7. And the worst one at one of the arguably best places to have one, Eurodisneyland. Doctor there came in two minutes tops.
When I was 10 or so I started on immunosensibilisation by shots in the arm. Did that for around 3 years per allergen and it did help somewhat. But nothing compared to that leech experience.

Yes, this is an anecdote, but this was 10 years ago and I still get to enjoy my summers now.

That's exaggerated. The Schrödinger equation was published in 1926 and tons of particles have been discovered in the decades after. But most would agree that progress has been slow in the past 50 years, with the discovery of dark energy 30 years ago being one of the most significant ones.
In modern time, coastal areas prosper when they have a desirable climate (moderate temperatures buffered by water) or concentrate commerce (e.g. shipping port, especially deep water).

A bunch of the coastal towns in the UK offer neither. They have a legacy of things like small fishing operations, which was significantly more valuable in the past when food was more scarce and fisheries were healthier.
Most people prefer having a house and a garage/shed/garden. They go rural not because they like that but because that's only achievable way to get that. I'd absolutely love be in exact same spot in city but own a house instead of renting an apartment
They are a hell of a commitment though, at least the shot-based ones. Once a week you have to go to a clinic, get the shot, wait 30 minutes to ensure no reaction. If you miss doses, you fall behind and have to repeat things. I got about 70% of the way through my treatment then had to travel for two months, after which the thought of starting back up again was daunting and I just gave up.
For instance, Eurolink eSIM card with 180 days validity can be had for 180 euros on Airalo.com. They also have re-chargeable eSIMs, just you need to top up just before it expires.

The argument here is that the disqualification clause of the 14th Amendment, while the amendment as a whole permits enforcement legislation, is operational and binding independent of any enforcement legislation (such as the disqualification penalty attached to the federal crime of insurrection), and thus conviction is not necessary.

I disagree. Trying to generalize a single implementation into an interface is always problematic. And that's exactly what inserting an API between the FE and BE is if your only UI is a web page.

If, later on, you want a mobile app, then an API can easily be deduced from your current, working UI, instead of trying to imagine what the UIs of your web FE and mobile app have in common.
