I found this interview with Shane MacGowan... something. Maybe touching? Two excerpts:

> I didn’t, of course, expect him to look like the gangly youth with the terrible teeth who looked as if he’d bleed adrenalin. I knew that the terrible teeth, or at least a lot of the terrible teeth, had gone. But I didn’t expect him to look like this. He has, it’s true, been ill. He has, apparently, had gastroenteritis. (The doctor said he could only eat clear liquids, which MacGowan, unfortunately, took to mean gin). But the man sitting opposite me, behind a table covered with packets of pills and cigarettes, reminds me both of a hobbit and a china doll. His hair is wild. His skin is pale. His lips cover gums where there should be teeth. But his eyes are clear, bright, piercing, beautiful blue.

and

> I’m not quite sure how to follow this, so I ask what ambitions he’s got left. This time there’s no pause. “To live as long as I possibly can, and to come to terms with dying before I do.”

> For a moment, we’re both quiet. For some people, this might seem like a small thing. But when you’ve drunk as much as Shane MacGowan (and not all that many people have drunk as much as Shane MacGowan) then staying alive isn’t a small thing at all.

You mean allocating your "what % of my paycheck (gross or net) goes into it" to 100% for the first few paychecks to get it to $19.5k?
I am learning to write shaders. I came across the Las Vegas Sphere thread on X and I love the instant feedback that Alexandre Devaux has created on his site. My attempt to create the Amiga BOING! resulted in a full sphere instead of being cut off at the base like all the other examples. Can someone clue me into why this has occurred and how to fix it? My code is very "hacky" and I only partially understand what I've done here. Any help would be appreciated.

I think there’s also how the Live Photo feature works. Where taking a photo is literally a short video and it picks the best frame

Unfortunately they changed the behavior a few major releases ago: now holding the button down switches to video recording. Annoying for me, since I don't do video.

If you use the software button you can slide to the left for burst, but afaik there's no way to trigger burst photos from the volume buttons. Maybe the new programmable button on the iPhone 15 series.

You put into words my exact feeling. These composers have no skill. They are compared to Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, and Liszt but all those men were celebrities in their days... They made music people jammed to. Not anymore. It's part of a larger trend of artists embracing ugliness because industrialized arts education seems incapable of producing artists. Instead it's just credentialism and terrible creations.
With how much manipulation happens to photos by default it seems like it would be easier to get them thrown out of court as evidence

> cybertruck is the maga hat of trucks

How is this a real comment?
Many modern cars are throttle by wire. Orthogonally, many have electric power steering instead of hydraulic power steering, depending what is multiplying your force, but still with actual linkage from your arms / steering wheel, to the turning of the wheels.

I am not aware of many that are actually steer by wire.
I think you have that backwards. The vast majority of people will prefer Apple's computational enhancements. A small number of photography enthusiasts will prefer manual control (and a smaller number will benefit from it).
She said she never used live photo.

And the latency for taking a standard photo is not 2 seconds.
So height and angle are what matters, and it looks like this Tesla does better on height and no worse on angle than a typical US truck. Why exactly did you think it was particularly high risk for pedestrians again?
Phones over-beautifying faces by default already happened with the iPhone XS, and it wasn't received well. See #beautygate: https://www.imore.com/beautygate
Calling a certain frequency "A4" is also in no way scientific. It's completely arbitrary! Just agree with the other people you're playing with. That's what really matters. Musicality is in ratios, not absolute values.
Holy shit. I had a similar thing happen with some web based video surveillance software maybe 5 years ago.

A manager of some sort had his aging laptop replaced due to a company wide Windows 10 upgrade project. Super friendly older guy, probably in sales. IT went through all the procedures of inventorying software and network needs, backing up user profile and docs, etc. Great processes in place. I remember this because I saw the device assessment and it was like a 10 year old Thinkpad with 4G of RAM and a note saying he had to keep it plugged in at all times or it would shut down. Who puts up with that? Patience of a saint. Anyway.

Laptop was deployed by onsite IT to verify everything was gravy. All checked out except for Grammarly. License didn't get transferred properly or something so they had to put in a request to get his licensing working.

Fast forward a week and he gets his license key and Grammarly is tested good to go. He's checked off the list.

Later that day we get a call about not being able to see security cameras because the web page is crashing. Helpdesk tries the basics, reboot, clear cache, reinstall browser, rebuild profile, etc., nothing works and it gets escalated to me. I check the network, firewall logs, log into another PC, onsite, off-site, etc. All working for me, no one else having issues.

I tell him "I'm completely baffled here, have there been any changes lately? In your office? With your PC?" He jokingly says "Well yeah they installed Grammarly today maybe that's it?" We both laugh and I say well, I'm literally out of ideas, fuck it let's try it.

I remote in and uninstall Grammarly. "Ok go ahead and try the cameras lol". I then watch him open up Outlook, go to a folder named "Cameras", and open an email with a link to his cameras "home page". It fuckin worked. I turned Grammarly back on and clicked the link and sure enough it failed.

I made him a browser shortcut, moved his "email shortcuts" into his browser, blew his mind, and closed the ticket, but it definitely bugged me.

This tracks because it was some very dated camera software (you'll know what I mean if you've seen it) and the link was to his customized homepage with a super long php (or something) generated url. He was the only one at the site with Grammarly as well so it was the only time we saw the problem.

Thank you, I can finally close this cold case out in my brain.
Not free. Just subtracted from income for purposes of calculating tax.
You ended up listening to Schoenberg at his best, and Sequenza is also a pretty good piece. As a composer and pianist/harpsichordist, my theory on this is that at some point, modern classical music became postmodern in terms of rejecting the concept of objectivity and beauty in the experience of music. That allowed composers to write truly horrible garbage with an air of superiority because "you just don't understand it" if you don't like it. This seems to have been a largely failed experiment: there are things that you can do in a piece of music that are more beautiful than other things, even if there is some subjectivity in terms of exact taste.

Ironically, the current period of music is starting to be called "postmodern" music, but it's returning a bit to the harmonic aesthetics of the romantic period (not purely, it's mixed with music from around the world as well as jazz and pop/rock ideas) and innovating more around music production technology - like adding electronics to the orchestra and experimenting with microtonal instruments - rather than trying to innovate on the concept of harmony itself. I would assume that this is in no small part due to the influence of film scoring, which is largely considered pedestrian by hardcore modernists, on the new generation of composers.

By the way, I happen to like a lot of the modernist stuff that I am rejecting here, but I think that's more out of familiarity (through study) than anything else.
Techno is mostly old school classical like melodies with novel timbres. It is extremely tonal and very rhythmic.

You seem to think that all lawyers are dumb, and unable to defend against photographic evidence. If you think a lawyer would not be able to find a witness that fully understands how the modern mobile device camera systems alter images, you're just not being honest with yourself. The Apple propaganda videos tout the fact their cameras are doing something with "AI" even if they don't tell you exactly what. To assume that people are so unawares that it took this picture is just not being honest with the conversation
That's not allowed by my plan/benefit manager due to reasons. I assume due to the eQUiTY based reasons for 401k clawbacks etc if not enough employees do it. I can only do max 15%.

even more reason for a solo 401k for everyone. Why should it matter for my 401k if kiki in hr doesn't contribute so mine needs to be clawed back?

> You mean allocating your "what % of my paycheck (gross or net) goes into it" to 100% for the first few paychecks to get it to $19.5k?

Also why does it need to be taken out of each paycheck. I can just fund it from cash Jan 1st each year.

At the end of the day, if the tax incentive is being used to get people to save, just let people save and claim the incentive. No need for a middleman (the employer).

This is an industry where cost will be an issue. It reminds me of Rackspace and others trying to win with OpenStack “because open.” AWS and Azure won. Even Google is third.

The big players will win, and there will be a niche for open tools.
50% of Broadcom's revenue comes from Enterprise SaaS. They already have an APM play (CA Technologies), EPP play (Symantec Enterprise), and Data Security play (Symantec Enterprise). By acquiring VMWare, they can add a Private Cloud and Network Security play.

All these plays converge into allowing a company to buy their entire Enterprise Infra stack from Broadcom.

6 percent of people in 2020 were using Python 2, 12+ years after Python 3 was released. 12 year old Java right now is Java 7, which is only used by 2 percent of people in this link.
> The story with Beethoven is not very different, ultimately some of the simplest pieces of his were the most popular and he wasn't very happy about that.

I'm sure many artists fall into the trap of 'the public likes the work I like least'. That doesn't make the work not part of the authors creation. For example, Raffi makes extremely popular (and actually pretty good) music and I'm sure he absolutely hates having to play it over and over again. Still a better artist than Schoenberg.
Most full-sized trucks come with beds smaller than 6.5ft, that doesn't change the fact that most trades people drive full-sized trucks.

Four wheel drive is more necessary in specific climates (before the snow tire scolds come in, I run snow tires in the winter) and because an unloaded truck has a light rear end. Many trucks with 4wd can switch between 4wd and RWD. My truck has RWD, 4A (4 auto, aka AWD-ish), 4 high and 4 low as an option. I drive mostly in RWD unless I need power to all wheels for traction in snow and ice or when I am accelerating quickly off an incline (think uphill a dirt road onto blacktop where you have a blind corner) and then I drive in in 4A. I have needed 4 high and 4 low a handful of times. I have a "big v8" and get 21-22 MPG on the highway in RWD and and 18 or so around town. I drive heavy all-terain tires or my MPG would be better.
AWS's Resilience Analysis Framework
You are conflating two different aspects.

Live Photo is a feature where it captures a couple of seconds of video before/after the photo is taken. From the article that feature was not enabled.

The computational pipeline is where you press the shutter and it blends a few frames together in order to do focus stacking, HDR etc. Based on what I have tried with my iPhone it is doing this in < 100ms which is not enough time to produce these sort of artefacts.
I think the issue is that people don't know what the camera does. The woman who tried to take a picture of herself in her wedding dress had no idea she'd end up looking like three different people.

I expect that as more and more people come to learn that their iphone photos are all fakes we will see more people reaching for cameras instead of cell phones for the important things when they can.
> In the end, this tech just takes control from you.

In these difficult scenarios, the alternative photo I'd get using such a small camera without this kind processing would be entirely unusable. I couldn't rescue those photos with hours of manual edits. That may be "in control", but it isn't useful.
Just use maven like everyone else and you will have better portability than most languages manage to offer, and freedom of IDE (if you want to use one).
How long is this burst (feels longer than 'short' in this case)? Does it start before you press the shutter button? Does this post processing apply to RAW? Does Apple document how this post processing works? More importantly, how does one turn it off or is there another camera app that allows one to turn it off?
Perhaps I can describe my process.

Remove the hard bit where the stem attaches (if present.)

With a sharp knife slice into the avocado until you hit the pit.

Rotate the Avocado to slice around the pit until you get back to the starting point (and remove the knife.)

Twist the two halves to separate them. The pit will stick in one half.

Chop the pit with the knife (but not enough to cut it in half!) Twist to remove the pit.

Or just search Youtube for "pit avocado Martha Stewart" who demonstrates this better than I can explain it in about 15s.
"interpretation of that moment" from a camera it is not a photograph, it's a fake image kidnapping the word "photograph".
No right turn or dedicated lights and they cyclists still do it. Quit making excuses
Hard to answer this question with specifics as sidewalk is still in development. Observations are my own, from when I developed devices using LoRa and nbiot.

In general, NB-IOT is operated by the cellular companies and has associated reliability expectations. Additionally the cruft leftover from it being a cellular product really added to complexity and cost to implement.

Unlicensed spectrum has much lower reliability, and I would expect them to charge less accordingly.

"We don't have to have a Google and a Twitter and a Facebook."

Many years ago, before Facebook or Twitter existed, I recall being promised that a project called "Nutch" would allow web users to crawl the web themselves.

Perhaps that promise is similar to the promises being made about "AI" today.

The project did not turn out to be used in the way it was predicted (marketed), or even used by web users at all.
Tiny country drove 15% of Nvidia's revenue – here's why it needs so many chips
Yeah I 100% agree - When I pull my phone out to take a picture of the kids/my dog/something randomly interesting, all I want is to point my camera at whatever I want to capture and have it turn out.

Don’t care how it happens I don’t want to think about settings.
Or instead of doing that, just go to smaller engine sizes that force slower driving due to lower power and adjust thr throttle response. Most cars have engines that are way too damn powerful for what's needed (why does a Hyundai i30 need 249HP?) because marketing beats out other concerns. Pair that with modern throttle mapping being a square curve or close to it that means people will just accelerate because the car's behaviour encourages them to. Electric cars only make this worse with instant torque.

Drive an older car from the '90s with a mechanical throttle adjusting a mechanical throttle body and you'll realize that it barely responds until the pedal's about halfway down. Drive a newer car and you'll realize that it's already putting nearly half throttle through the electronic throttle body when the drive by wire pedal is a tenth of the way down. The brakes react like this too, which is a completely difference annoyance. It's a result of manufacturers gaming for fuel efficiency regulations and it manipulates the way people drive into being more aggressive with their acceleration.

For decades never needed speed limiters aside from the gentleman's agreement of 155MPH over tire safety reasons because most people couldn't get above 90MPH, and most cars didn't want to go above 45MPH without stomping on it. Since the early 1990s as a side effect of emissions regulations making engines much more efficient cars have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled their power output. A 1995 Chevrolet Lumina made 210HP from a 3.8L V6 at the very top of the rev range, meaning for most driving you were at 150HP or less. Right now you can go and buy a low trim Chevrolet Blazer with a 3.6L V6 that makes 305HP about a third of the way up with a flat horsepower curve from there. Just holding speed without accelerating you're at peak horsepower in the Blazer and it feels that way.
No, they didn't. From the details page: "We've assumed a fuel economy of 20.0 miles per gallon for a comparable gasoline powered truck. We've also assumed the national average of $0.16 per kilowatt-hour for residential electricity (assumed for 100% of charging) and $3.30 per gallon for gasoline over the next three years."
Because that is not the criteria codified in statute.
Lots of consumer cameras have near infrared sensitivity, mostly 750nm but with a long exposure I can get photographs through a 900nm filter in my Fuji X-Pro. You lose at least four stops.

Could the photography technique work to determine ripeness? Assuming the fruit is fairly motionless of course.
There's a big difference between looking at reality through a bad filter and looking at a completely different constructed reality.
Does it need "human emotions, feelings etc" to "deserve" protection and status? Human society answered no a long time ago. But still it will be interesting to see what protections are granted to entities that are unarguably also machines.
Those people probably aren't buying USB dongles that depend on a server in the first place; They're using one of the many "hub" devices out there instead (with varying degrees of privacy and network security).

Confirmation bias and circular reasoning is probably most of it. Anthropogenic catastrophism is self-evident to many.
> Php perl and python have a better dependency story

none of those have a better dependency manager than java's maven. The fact that the project you had to work on didn't use maven isn't evidence that java's tooling is bad!

of all the current industry wide languages, java is the one with the best tooling, including IDEs, profiling and tracing, deployment options, and debugging and logging etc.
I'm thinking of a number, but I'm definitely not going to tell you it now. It's all mine.
