Unless you're using the Blu-Ray player for something else, there's not really a need to connect them to the network. Maybe to ease firmware updates if you want those.

Yes, some discs have something that does something with the network, but I can't imagine it's worthwhile (but maybe if I knew what it was, it could be?)

One of my blu-ray players had a bunch of streaming clients, but they pretty much all expired.

It might be nice if you could use a blu-ray player to play discs copied to your network, but I think DRM makes that a no, and anyway, 4k blu-ray can exceed 100mbps at peaks, and I don't think 1g ethernet has made it to 4k blu-ray players yet. But it has for some models of Apple TV, and some android TV products, including the well regarded Nvidia Shield.
Buying a recently manufactured Leaf today is buying technical debt for no good reason. Stuck with a Chademo charging port that has a shrinking installed infrastructure base, an interior that hasn't been significantly upgraded in many years, and a heating system that is sabotaged to the most inefficient heating possible, electric strip heating unless you buy the top SV Plus trim.
Occasional vice for me.
I've been running large scale data centers for years now with tens of thousands of machines. I'd personally never put an Intel cpu into something that I cared about. We used $30 cheapo intel cpus for our mining rigs cause they literally didn't need anything more than that. But, anything else we buy for servers, is always going to be AMD. One caveat to that would be if we have some customer that demanded Intel and we'd lose the business otherwise.

So yea, in my eyes, AMD beat Intel. I don't think I need any more evidence than that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
1 nm is very impressive.

Just to answer that question: Job opportunities? Although I am not saying I think this one is false.
I'm glad many people have identified why "pushing ifs up" is often bad advice. This article should give examples of when and why you should use either approach. Furthermore, I would argue that there's far too little information and context presented here to even make a decision like that.What do `frobnicate` and `transmogrify` do? How many callers would need to perform these conditional checks? Do these if statements convey domain logic that should actually belong in the walrus class? If these checks need to be made often, would it make better sense to capture the call as a lambda and then only perform the check once instead of having a conditional for loop? Etc etc.

Claims of 19σ are throwing up red flags but nothing seems off about the claims of the paper condemning MOND, except perhaps the obscure use of reparametrization to a 0-1 interpolation between Newtonian and MOND dynamics. Perhaps the extreme claims are a consequence of this parametrization moreso than the data themselves. Exciting times for cosmology regardless.

Generally, any type of GMO pest resistance is done via some change in the plant, and that change can also affect the consumer. It seems naive to believe that no unintended side effects are possible. Take Bt corn as an example. It uses a protein to target caterpillars. The proteins we consume affect us. It’s conceivable that consuming Bt corn, or some other GMO, could have a side effect. How are you so confident to exclude this possibility entirely?

Going back to pesticides for a second, you seem to accept that pesticides affect insects and humans. So why are you so sure Bt corn only affects insects?
Wait until the film you want to watch no longer exists.

Instead you'll stream a version that meets the restrictions of the day. Perhaps the soundtrack has been changed due to licensing issues, or entire scenes have been deleted for being politically incorrect (according to whichever politics are in power when you watch the film)
> One issue I've run into while using strict tables is that since sqlite does not (yet?) have a dedicated type for timestamps, a driver like github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 use the typename in the schema to determine when a column can be converted to a native time datatype. But STRICT tables only allow 6 specific typenames: INT, INTEGER, REAL, TEXT, BLOB, ANY

I wish they’d implement CREATE DOMAIN, like Postgres has. Using it you can define a named custom type from a base type, optionally with associated CHECK constraints. A minimal implementation would skip the constraints (and DEFAULT and collation) and just let you do CREATE DOMAIN timestamp AS INT (or TEXT if you’d rather do it that way), and thereafter STRICT tables could have timestamp as column type

Btw, just to clarify for you.

China in Tibet is an example of military occupation and hegemonic vassalisation.

1. China profits from Tibet: YES
2. China selects Tibetan leaders: YES
3. China subjugates Tibet: YES

None of that applies to US in Europe.

Heat. Your typical 150kW fast charging is like 3 houses with 200A service all maxed out. Or 25 houses running at typical load. If you want to convert it from 240V AC to 340-360V DC (actual voltage goes up as the battery charges), you will need a massive cooling system. For a quick perspective, imagine 1500 laptop chargers working all at once!

Getting it into the vehicle is another thing. 150kW at 360V is about 400A - twice what a modern detached house gets. That needs to get into the vehicle through a relatively flexible cable with a connector. IIRC, that requires an active cooling system (i.e. water loop) inside the cable itself, and the connector will still go through massive temperature swings. So you need materials that can insulate against 400V, bend well, and not crack when you repeatedly heat and cool them several times a day.

Oh, and many chargers [0] don't actually have a 150A or whatever connection to the grid, and instead use internal batteries that load up when nobody is charging, and quickly empty into your car once you pullup to it. That's another cooling loop, extra sensors, and possibly, a heating system, if you want to operate in winter conditions.

Yeah, the 'spite' is 100% there. Have a job desc, even if it's just "freelancing", "business" or "research".

Well, only some part of it is spite. I think many people associate jobs with identity, so not having a job is like not having a name. Batman has an alter ego for a reason. He can't just meet family and friends as Batman.
Right. The only thing to me that seemed even a bit off was the sauce. Too much surface tension for that little viscosity. Truly amazing piece of work for a teenager.

Canned brown bread is actually kind of delicious (for what it is).
For sure. For one-offs plugging in a machine and having it act like a removable disk would be a lot easier than orchestrating a DHCP server and TFTP server (plus boot images) to support PXE. For mass numbers of machines, though, PXE is very handy. (I haven't kept up with PXE in the UEFI era to know how its changed/kept up. Everything I did with it-- netbooting tiny Linux distros to image machines, primarily, was back in the Windows XP thru 7 days.)
A New Technique for Image Optimization: SVG Short Circuiting
When I was a kid we had a pseudoscience documentary about the Sphinx, narrated by Charlton Heston. They took the appealing argument that the surface looks like it's been eroded by water and extended that to conclude that it must have been carved by humans before undergoing water erosion, and that therefore it must be older than mainstream archaeology concludes. This, of course, means that every egyptologist is part of a massive conspiracy to hide the truth, and that therefore wink and nudge something something aliens.

I like this article better. Natural formation, carve a face on an existing head. No prehistoric levitation of massive stones.
Switching to regenerative farming, which cuts the demand for fertilizers, and sinks massive amounts of carbon into the soil as it regenerates it from plain old dirt, can take about 1/5 of our carbon out of the air on its own, while continuing to feed all of us.

Massively scaling up fission power, beefing up the grid, and finding ways to adapt to the cycles of power availability from solar and wind, could go a long way towards cutting our emissions. Especially if we can electrify all of rail transport.

The reason we're wasting so much time is that the 0.01% who own most of the world profit from the status quo, and don't want change. They are quite willing to burn this world for more money.
Right. It could be 220 outlets that I can plug my own charger in for all I care - just make them work all the time.
Hell, one could write a full 3D FPS game with online interactivity almost a decade ago with WebGL (someone at my uni had such a thesis work). It definitely wouldn’t beat some ray-traced AAA game, but it is surely enough for most things.

My point is that you really do have a license to consume most of what you see. Sure, there are some exceptions, like using archive.ph to read news, but most people consume content that conforms with copyright regulations. E.g. you use Spotify to listen to music. Netflix to watch movies. Consume UGC on TikTok posted by the creator. Etc.
But, crucially, you can ignore all that and just pay with a plain card, or even cash if you want. EVs need to match that.
I read a great user review on a film ranking site for guy Ritchie’s film the covenant that said something approximating “he liberated himself from his own genre” and I sometimes feel that Nolan’s work could use some of that.

I have issue both outright with the material of Oppenheimer, and his handling of it, but on release I waited an extra 3 weeks to get a reasonably positioned seat in one of the imax 70mm showings.

And it made me realize something.

Even if people like Nolan or pta or Tarantino swear by film, and even if they’re right!, what matters is if the theater owners care about film, because the presentation was terrible.

There were flies on the lens obstructing the image with little furry dust balls crawling all over the picture.

There was roughly 5 minutes worth of a red line down the picture, just to the left of center, in various 20 second chunks throughout the film.

Also just culture shocked by imax 70mm because it frames the film in essentially 4:3.

Growing up in the states in the 90s has me associating 4:3 with sitcom tv.

So is the 4:3 framing the “intended” framing?

Are home media viewers encouraged to drop the majority of their screen real estate when watching this?

Does the home release have a 16:9 cut? Did Nolan reframe it? (These questions likely have answers for anyone who really wants to know but this article was light on actionable details other than “it is cause he said it is”)

At a similar special showing I thought hateful 8 used theatrical 70mm to great effect.

I liked the first fifth of Oppenheimer. Mostly the imaginative practical effect asides of seeing into the mind of someone laboring over matter at this scale.

It lost me right around the time Nolan cruelly mangled this absolutely chilling moment into a “get it up” punchline.

If I saw that icon without the label, my immediate guess would be a paintbrush symbol, indicating either a paint tool or something to do with styles and colors. My second guess would probably be a bell, indicating alarm or sound settings.

I suppose I would eventually guess a broom, but not in the first 3 tries.
Wouldn’t that suggest it is accidental? Making it harder to understand a piece of software seems to cause people to look for easier to understand alternatives.

Emissions are to be reduced. All of them, not only those related to gridpower generation.

To do so electrifying usages is key.

This in turn imply that more electricity has to be generated.

Each and every nation in the EU27 moves towards this, and France (while chanting 'my electricity is low-carbon, yay!' and neglecting that doesn't do anything about the remaining 63% of final energy consumed in France obtained by burning fossil fuels) is the red lantern:

It is not racist. Taiwan, a different Chinese country, doesn't have these issues. It is only the country of China dictated by CCP that has this issue (one of the two Chinas).

You are also engaging in false comparison. You are comparing a country (CCP-subjugated China) with a religion (Judaism).
It is specifically a testicular cancer. The cell type originates in the testicle. It’s a germ cell which are only found in reproductive organs. In my case doctors don’t really know why it “starts in the chest”. Some think it starts in the testes, moves up into the chest and the testes clear up. But there is no definitive science pointing to that. It is very rare. But it is definitely a type of testicular cancer. A rather shitty one unfortunately.

NACS is actually just CCS over the Tesla physical form. Hopefully Tesla is mandating and certifying a specific subset of CCS for their Supercharger rollout of NACS.
I've done a ton of "boot a rescue disk" because I'm usually too lazy to pull the disk. Particularly with oddball hardware, it always feels like I'm struggling with drivers or missing tools. When I do pull the disk and plug it into my daily driver machine it feels like stuff goes much more quickly because I've got all the tools I'm used to.

It's all counterfactuals anyway-- nothing like target disk mode will ever happen on the PC platform.

You also won’t get any support from the browser, no text select, no right click, no accessibility whatsoever, no reader mode, probably not even have proper mobile support, because it just happened to react to clicks, and not touches..

Unless it is some specific simulation/game/ultra-complex gui (think photoshop), I explicitly don’t want to see any canvas rendering, even though I really dislike JS as a language/platform.

When a new technology is discovered, it takes a while for it to be woven into the fabric of everyday life. There are many new connections to the existing ways of doing things that get discovered in due course.

Ah yes PMO!

The concept that a technical PM can pick up any project in any problem domain is deeply flawed.

Well, there is Flutter, which is no small project, that renders to the web (always promising to go dom-based) — and it’s still just a canvas with zero accessibility. So if google doesn’t have the resources/priorities for that, I doubt that 2-person rust library will.
Binder has been part of the mainline kernel for quite a while.

Also drivers for things on Android are for the most part done by third party manufactures and so its up to those third parties to upstream them. No different than any other driver used on more generic PC or server HW.

Also you realize that there's like 3 or 4 different libc projects for Linux distros to use right? Bionic isn't special in that regard.
I own quite a few blu-rays, mostly movies where compression artifacts on streaming versions are very noticeable. I'd get them for more movies, but I don't have infinite shelf space, nor do I want to transform my living room walls into disc storage like some of my movie buff friends did in the DVD era. Filing cabinets could work, I suppose. But the point is, streaming a purchased or pirated copy is just simpler and better, and for 90% of movies the compression doesn't impact the experience. With all due respect to Nolan's work on the home release, I'm pretty sure Oppenheimer will be in the 90%. For the remaining 10% I'd love if iTunes and the other digital movie storefronts offered a "hifi" quality download with bitrate on par with blu-ray. I know Sony has something like that for their TVs, but I mean something really available cross platform through Movies Anywhere or similar. The difficulty studios have making money on digital movies really seems self-inflicted in some ways, plenty of people out there would be converted from buying blu-rays if the price and quality of downloads improved just a bit.
They don’t run on the web, though.

The examples in the article are of things we could look at more closely, if only we cared to look.

Often, it's not so easy. All we have to go on are sketchy news reports. You won't get the details from reading a news article online.
I love this, but I also feel they're valorizing the high resolution simply because it's their particular interest.

In some fields, what they are speaking about is called "fine-graining". Looking up at the bigger picture is called "coarse-graining". Moving up and down between the levels, and bringing learnings between levels, that's where the work is. No one place of focus is better, as each environment can always change. Attention exists to hopefully guide us to the right level. I'd say we're not "built for high-res", because it's the moving between that keeps our attention from getting stuck at one specific level of abstraction :)

There's a great quote by supreme court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes that feel related to the crux of this stuff:

> For the simplicity that lies this side of complexity, I would not give a fig, but for the simplicity that lies on the other side of complexity, I would give my life.

The "simplicity on the other side of complexity" is the coarse-grained explanation, the abstraction, that has done the complex consideration to collapse the appropriate aspects. We only need to fine-grain our attention to understand that appropriate reduction for the given situation we're trying to grok. But the low-res is no less noble than the high-res, so long as you or someone else has done the hard work of finding the right abstraction... :)

Interestingly there isn't any correspondence between spoken language and sign language in the linguistic sense. Correspondence between the dominant sign language and the dominant spoken language is mostly due to geographical colocation. So while you are right to say "your specific region's sign language", there are several distinct sign languages in places that all have English as their primary spoken language.

Still, I think your attention to picture quality is a niche case (like how "audiophiles" treat music). Above a certain quality that all streaming services pretty much match, I don't really care about compression. Honestly, I can't remember a time I noticed netflix's compression.
