Somewhat off topic

Sort of reminds me of The War Game[0], a BBC pseudo-documentary on a nuclear attack against Britain in the 1960s, that was sort of censored.

The BBC or government said "the effect of the film has been judged by the BBC to be too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting.", but got shown to a select few, and then got played at film festivals a year later and won an Oscar for best Documentary in 1967.

"The film was eventually televised in Great Britain on 31 July 1985, during the week before the fortieth anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, the day before a repeat screening of Threads."[0]

I haven't watched Threads, but I'd highly recommend watching this film. It's not gory, it's almost satirical, but also horrifying.

The War Game is a 1966 British pseudo-documentary film that depicts a nuclear war and its aftermath.[1] Written, directed and produced by Peter Watkins for the BBC, it caused dismay within the BBC and also within government, and was subsequently withdrawn before the provisional screening date of 6 October 1965.[2] The corporation said that "the effect of the film has been judged by the BBC to be too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting. It will, however, be shown to invited audiences..."[3]

The film eventually premiered at the National Film Theatre in London, on 13 April 1966, where it ran until 3 May.[4] It was then shown abroad at several film festivals, including the Venice one where it won the Special Prize. It also won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1967.[5][6]

The film was eventually televised in Great Britain on 31 July 1985, during the week before the fortieth anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, the day before a repeat screening of Threads.[7]

First artist I tried failed: Øystein Sevåg, also not in transliteration.

David Benoit fared a lot better, Neneh Cherry matched Carmel(?) but not Youssou N'Dour with whom she had her most popular song. Interesting concept though I will definitely be playing around with it.

Edit: long ago I did something like this but based on the individual band members so that you could trace them as they moved through their career, that might be another interesting angle to pursue as a weight on the links. But it's a boatload of work to track down all of the individuals that contributed to a track. Another angle is to go by producers and possibly even recording technician. Good luck untangling Alan Parsons and Trevor Horn from everything they touched, the page will be too crowded to read.

No, blogging won't return. Not in the same way as before. In the days of the dial up modem the written word was king. Twitter originally had SMS as a communication mechanism. But look at what the younger generations do, the use the internet for 3D gaming, for video watching.

It's the same micro-attention span as a tweet, but the media has changed. In the immediate term it's video content. But this will also give way to the next thing...

But, unfortunately the written word requires more attention than modern internet users have to spare.

In this particular case, it's because the CAN bus shares two wires across all devices, with everything connected in parallel. Water ingress or catastrophic failure to any of the wires, connectors, or terminations/devices can result in an open or short circuit, or at least enough load to cause the signal drivers to be incapable of driving the right levels.

Although this particular example is from what some would consider a controversial video, this is an example of how water ingress can result in the disablement of vehicle electronics: https://youtu.be/Gio3DSTkQH4?feature=shared&t=181

Spending time to create a test case and sending it to the browser bug team gets the bug fixed? Riiiiiiiiight.

Actually I did that for a while and the Chromium team would occasionally fix some fairly subtle issues: assuming I could make a demo of the problem and took the time to write up a good bug report. Maybe they just liked me! The Chromium team also wrote fantastic public followup to bug reports (whether fixed or not).

Certainly I never had any luck getting even extremely serious browser bugs fixed by anyone else (Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft) regardless of how much time I wasted trying to give good informative bug reports. And you never found out anything further - talking to walls is more productive.

It feels good trying to help the world be a better place, but it wasn't worth it.

You're both correct and also missing nuances that make it a lot more complex than what you're thinking. Ask yourself Why is paywalling different than ads that makes it more effective, then question if it actually is and if ads could be just as effective? I'm sadly not going to be able to explain more. Otherwise this would be a fun discussion.

I do know with a low ad rate you could have people who block ads watch ads with an effective delivery system. Like everyone it's the right balance of ad rate with content rate, or you know just charging directly.

The creation of the steam turbine is also fascinating.

It's a testament to engineering that hot air engines are remotely competitive when so many of the physics line up for steam.(phase change, heat capacity, heat conductivity)

The limiting factor as always is heat transfer between the heat source and the medium. If we had better heat exchangers, the theoretical maximum of steam is still the best.

> don’t falsify events […] Cameras that outright lie […] AI generated monstrosity of what apple thinks

Oh the irony of framing things (pun intended) so hyperbolically. Somehow it never seems to dawn on people that like to throw around the word ‘lie’ that they’re doing exactly what they’re complaining about, except intentionally, which seems way worse. Nobody sat down to say bwahahah let’s make the iphone create fake photos, the intent obviously is to use automated methods to capture the highest quality image while trying to be relatively faithful to the scene, which might mean capturing moving subjects at very slightly different times, in order to avoid photo-wrecking smudges. When you blatantly ignore the stated intent and project your own negative assumptions of other people’s motivations, that becomes consciously falsifying the situation.

Photographs are not and never have been anything but an unrepresentative slice of a likeness of a moment in time, framed by the photographer to leave almost everything out, distorted by a lens, recolored during the process, and displayed in a completely different medium that adds more distortion and recoloring. There is no truth to a photograph in the first place, automatic or not, it’s an image, not reality. Photos have often implied the wrong thing, ever since the medium was invented. The greatest photos are especially prone to being unrealistic depictions. Having an auto stitch of a few people a few milliseconds apart is no different in its truthiness from a rolling shutter or a pano that takes time to sweep, no different from an auto shutter that waits for less camera shake, no different from a time-lapse, no different from any automatic feature, and no different from manual features too. Adjusting my f-stop and focus is really just as much distorting reality as auto-stitching is.

Anyway, she did get a clear memory that was quite faithful to within a second, it just has a slightly funny surprise.

There is some risk of ads on other protocols, but yes, text-based ones are the most flexible and powerful. Even if a gopher server starts getting ads, a gopher client can be configured to sed/grep/whatever certain URLs or domains, just like uBlock is for web browsers.

Funny you say that, I was just thinking earlier today back to the core-js drama.

In short: the creator of a NPM package that is used by approximately everyone, everywhere, was facing a legal battle. He had been developing this package full time for years and did not have the cash on hand to hire a lawyer. He added a console log that ran on installing his package that said something like "If you're using core-js please consider donating". Queue an absolute shitstorm of people screaming at him in the GitHub issues and him eventually going to prison for around 10 months.

It can be a rough world out there for the folks building for the "focus, productivity and anti-distraction" platform.

Luckily he seems to be back on the grind nowadays, with a decently robust cross-platform donated slush fund to boot (~200k USD across Pateron, Open Collective, Bitcoin).

Again, decades of people photographing themselves in wedding dresses while in dress shops (which tend to be pretty well lit) would disagree with you. Also, the things that help most with lighting (like auto-exposure) aren't the problem here. That's not why her arms ended up in three different positions at once.

A photograph is always an interpretation. A photograph from, say, a modern $2000 big boy camera:

Does not capture the color of every pixel, and merely infers it from the surrounding ones. Is usually viewed on a sRGB screen with shitty contrast and a dynamic range significantly smaller than the one of the camera, which is significantly smaller than the one of human eyes, which is still significantly smaller than what we encounter in the real world. Does not capture a particular moment in time, but a variable length period that’s also shifted between the top part of the image and the bottom part (a couple of ms for mechanical shutter, tens or hundreds of ms for electronic). Has no idea about the white balance of the scene. Has no idea about the absolute brightness of the scene. Usually has significant perspective distortion. Usually has most of the scene out-of focus and thus misrepresents reality (buildings aren’t built and people aren’t born out of focus).

Nailed this one too.

> But to require six shuttle launches a year, there would have to be 18 satellites. "Barring some extraordinary breakthrough in technology," says an informed communications industry source, "that's inconceivable."

This prediction, though, didn't work out so well. (SpaceX alone has more than 5,500 satellites, and is launching thousands yearly.)

It's worse than mere age.

The paper he chooses to "conclude" a major section is cherry-picked from the middle of the story, within a highly-publicized drama within the academic field. It's unlikely that anyone even casually following could be unaware of the real ending to the story.

The author is either incompetent at research or deceptive. Either way, "highly suspect" is warranted.

> There's no such thing as 'simple' transformer-based DC-DC conversion

Pretty much all DC-DC converters nowadays are switching - and those chopping - and - rectifying steps you mention would be standard for any DC-DC converter whether or not it uses a transformer. In this particular case, a transformer is necessary in addition to those components, as opposed to a simple fixed inductor.

> EPR is 48V

Yes, I got confused with the maximum rating on the most popular EPR capable tester (Power-Z KM003)

> Switching regulators are a pretty well known quantity now

I'd agree with this, insofar as they're very common and we know how to design them effectively. With that said, I think it can be observed that topologies used with higher voltages generally do come with increased cost and complexity. First of all, the transformer is going to be a custom part, as opposed to something with jelly bean substitutes like inductors. Second of all, the kinds of components typically used with higher voltages like 48V are less integrated than ones for lower voltages, likely due to the kind of process technology you need to use to handle it. It's possible to get "smart" drive chips for applications like Intel processor VRMs that integrate all of the switching, gate drive, and control logic, but with higher voltage you typically have to source discrete gate drivers, controllers, feedback, etc, and I'd think it does add complexity.
