There's a point at which these things balance out and work. I'm not sure that 120 frames per second is high enough, but it's much closer. We have anecdotal evidence (the fact that everyone hated The Hobbit) that 48 frames per second isn't.

One of the rules of cinema and shooting at low frame rate is to use "180 degree shutter" (a term that comes from the spinning shutters used in old film cameras), or in other words a shutter that is open for half as long as the frame rate. i.e.: If you're filming at 24 frames per second, use a 1/48th second shutter speed.

The reason for this is that 24 FPS @ 1/48" exposure film adds enough motion blur to each exposure that any movement that occurs over a small number of frames is naturally smeared by a consequence of the exposure time, but anything that is relatively steady across frames tends to look crisp. If you shoot at 24 FPS @ 1/1000", you end up with something that looks like a fast flipbook of static pictures. 24 FPS just isn't fast enough, and people can see that each individual frame doesn't contain movement.

Anecdotally, 120FPS @ 1/1000" on a 120Hz display doesn't exhibit this same problem, at least to me or people I've shown it to, although some people will notice it "feels fast".

48 FPS @ 1/96" seems to be the worst of both worlds: Too fast a shutter for motion blur to compensate nicely, too slow a frame rate to to make it look seamless, so it ends up in the uncanny valley where people know there's something missing, but not what.

The frame interpolation feature that people seem to hate is almost directly designed to fall into this horrible territory.
My Samsung phone once bricked itself with a forced update. That was fun.

It also downloads updates totally unprompted overnight and gives me a non-dismissable notification about it. I also get toasts at random intervals demanding I restart immediately for the 15 minute update process.

It lets me defer the update for anywhere between 5 and 9 hours before rebooting with no warning and leaving me with a dead phone for 15 minutes.

Absolutely no way to stop it or disable updates. I've gone so far as trying to MiTM the network traffic and blocking the IP it connects to, but it seems to use different addresses sometimes.

I'm never buying a Samsung device again. For that matter, I'm never buying a phone that I can't control.

Not a fan of some corporation remotely bricking my phone with no warning.
I see what you mean, thanks, that's insightful. I don't know how I'd feel if it were two men, with nothing else being different, but I suspect I'd think the same.

Basically, I can see why you find the writing bad, I'm just not sure I agree on whether it would be better if the characters were men.

Yes, but Fortran is outright hell outside mathy stuff.

C++ has the features as a language to be almost Fortran level pain for math heavy. But the libraries tend to fall short. E.g. Eigen kind of does it, but it will just explode with a thousand line compile error when you least expect it. Also it's missing some quite elemental stuff like ND arrays. And getting code to work across even minor Eigen versions is a crapshoot.

Xtensor seems to have some potential, although it was too buggy to use back when I last tried it.

However, due to many fundamental design mistakes in C++ I'm not really expecting any code, including math heavy, to be very plesant or productive in it.

FAA investigating controversial crash video - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29729307 - Dec 2021 (414 comments)

If people find the other threads we can add them to the list here.
I haven't worked with Netscape that old, only some time after it became free of charge, but I remember it was really slow at just about anything compared to IE 5.5 and 6 - startup, rendering, UI. To the point that even if it could render tables progressively, it wouldn't really matter on my computer (which I think was either an Intel Penium II or an AMD Duron 850), despite only having a dial-up connection.

I think it was around the time of Firefox 1.6 when it felt like it was about on par with IE 6 in rendering speed for me, after tweaking some of its settings.
I think it was also rendering tables progressively at the time.
My mistake, I got the meaning of "polling" wrong (not a native speaker). What would be the proper verb then?
I know we're not suppose to editorialize, but the original title ("What’s Wrong With 538?") seemed less informative.
It's very unlikely that a private aircraft this small would have a 'black box' (either of the cockpit voice recorder or flight data recorder variety). That said, the pilot in this case had incriminating evidence on board due to his own recording devices.

> People will think poorly that I’m talking down a romantic partner

Well, yes. Relationships don’t do well when one of the partners has this much contempt for the other. There’s a difference between knowing in your own mind she’s not the best at her job, and calling her a “ditzy” “illogical” “girl” in public.
I haven’t had time to look at the code. Is this generating a unique root certificate per install? If not this could become an attack vector to decrypt TLS traffic.
What does "control" mean, technically?

I have an intuitive sense of what you're pointing at with the Boeing 727 crash experiment, but how does the law phrase it?
It’s worth mentioning that the Watergate coverup eventually failed because of a plane crash and the events set in motion due to it.

Almost certainly in-engine. At this point there's not much reason to do offline renders without using your engine if you're a studio like Rockstar - you already have tools for building cinematics and your game engine can scale quality and level of detail, etc. The same people who do your in-game cinematics can (if you choose to go that way) apply their talents to your trailers.

GTA5 has built in recording and editing functionality too, so things like adjusting camera angles after you've recorded a sequence are trivial. I have no doubt all the same tooling is available to the GTA6 dev team, even if the game won't ship with it accessible to players.

Of course once you've got footage out of engine, it's probably spliced together with transitions and voiceover in Adobe Premiere or Davinci Resolve, but that's pretty normal.
Perhaps laziness? Determining which profits are due to a crime could be difficult to separate from legitimate activity. That said, they could write the law to claw back anything that's easily accounted for, and just use some approximations when that's impractical.

I don’t know, they’d really have to bank on it being viable to run an LLM and speech generator at the same time without it impacting the game’s performance. You’d have those two components, plus rendering the game itself all running on the GPU simultaneously. They might be trying it but I feel like it’s going to be up in the air whether it’s working by release.
Surely 24 fps was made the standard to save money on film.

It's about the slowest frame rate that's not very distracting.

Needless to say, film is no longer the major expense it used to be. In the early days the film itself was a fairly big part of the production cost (and don't forget distribution - cost to replicate the film - and operating cost for the projectors - handling film rolls twice as big, etc.).

And standards are sticky, so the industry stayed on 24fps for decades.
this is why i've declined to get into the dna and ancestry tracking fad.

you just cant trust them.

unfortunately i think my mother has pulled my name into ancestry... not much i can do about that except not re-enforce the link
Yeah, that’s often inconvenient. There are test images like http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/sharpness.php one can use for testing this. A USB stick with some test images can be useful.
Ask HN: DIY accounting and taxes with minimal work for solo-founders
What methods, systems and software do you use to do accounting and taxes for your solo-founder (or small team) company, such that you spend a MINIMAL amount of time on it?

If you choose to work with accountants or bookkeepers, how did you find the right one and what do you do yourself VS what they do, and how do you check their work and make sure you spend MINIMAL time on the back and forth?

Bonus points for those who have accrual accounting and LLCs.
How do you have any idea that it's not a big improvement over gta 5?
It’s not a double standard. AVs aren’t human. We can set whatever standard we want for them. There’s no logical reason it should be consistent with the standard for humans.

Apple is trying to change that, they are now working with studios and brought some AAA games to the Mac and even iPhone. They also released Game Porting Tool Kit, which essentially allows you to run high end Windows games.
The smartest people I know work in government, education, and agriculture. Some in music and other arts. One at FAANG, but they might not be happy there.

Also depends on how you define smart. M-W dictionary says intelligent, which itself has many definitions. I'm currently biased towards considering healthspan, environmental health, and (related) health of society over the next millennia; what behaviors will help us humans know the story of life on earth more deeply and continuously? It's smart to consider the long-range narrative).
For background, I only dabble in software development as a hobby and sometimes to make something for work (currently at a government entity for public infrastructure).
You’re picturing emergencies at home. They’re picturing an emergency at school.
I like how you chose your words. "If Apple could make them".. not entice.. make reasonable reductions of barriers.. enter the market segment for gamers.. but, no. Apple will make them. Think differently bro.
Probably not. Use a dedicated tool like a custom browser (Mullvad Browser comes to mind - it beats fingerprint.com/demo which Firefox even WITH protections enabled, does not.
Seems like we're gonna have a Bonnie and Clyde storyline of sorts.
Why does it have to be "bad male writing" or "bad female writing" rather than "bad writing"? How does gender add anything here?
The pattern that seems to work is do your own research and bring the probable diagnostic to your doctor that can have a second look at them.

In my case, had I not do that my doctors (saw multiple) would never have diagnosed it. This was for a rare syndrome.
Some TVs constantly display nag screens or blink the power LED at you if you keep them offline.

I can't decide if it's better to check for such things before purchase, or just return it as defective if I end up getting a model that does this.

The modern NVIDIA cards have dedicated silicon for deep learning workloads, used for features like DLSS or RTX Voice. So you could theoretically tap into that for such a feature without meaningfully lowering the game's framerate.

AFAIK Apple also includes similar accelerator hardware in their modern chips.

For people who have integrated AMD or Intel GPUs attached to their main CPU, it's also possible to tap into that thing for compute workloads even if your game isn't running onto it.
I’m not a teenager anymore but have kids in 4th & kindergarten. The amount of technology exposure the 4th grader gets is appalling. That goes right up to addictive little clicky games that remind me of the WoW I spent a year playing.

I get that teaching well is hard, but I cannot rid myself of the feeling that some teachers are leaning on the tech because actual teaching has gotten too hard. For one thing, it seems like they don’t have many options to deal with kids who prevent the others from learning.

It’s just sad all around. I’d put an end to smartphones if I could, and not just in schools.
I've spent so much time chasing down performance problems and bugs where the problem was due to an outdated dependency. Simply spending a few hours a month upgrading dependencies is a big win to avoid those situations

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38524596 is a publicly accessible URL. That’s what I meant. You’re assuming it doesn’t matter because she’s not smart enough to find it and recognize herself.
You can arbitrarily scale error bars based on real world feedback, but the underlying purpose of a model is rarely served by such tweaking. Often the point of error bars is less “How surprised you should be when you are wrong” than it is “how wrong you should be before you’re surprised.”

When trying to detect cheating in online games you don’t need to predict exact performance, but you want to decent anomalies quickly. Detecting cereal killers, gang wars, etc isn’t about nailing the number of murders on a given day but patterns within those cases etc.

(release, major, minor) is honestly how versions often get used in the wild. Especially in CD contexts where every change is versioned and deployed and the meaning between patch and minor gets a little lost.
Why not a complex API?
Depends on your definition of memory.

There is no RAM, just a single 1 bit accumulator. It's made of vacuum tubes configured as NOR gates.

"In 2001, the developer was hired by Native Instruments in order to develop Reaktor 5 with core technology."
Oh, that makes more sense. Terminology mistake on my part, the word "detergent" to me only refers to the soaps used in machines.

Although, on reflection, it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense in that context...
I could have alluded to it...but that just takes it in a "you live in a tiny bubble" direction which also isn't exactly flattering.

Eh, in my case I prefer writing raw SQL for the API side of things - it's more apparent what's going on in code that I actually tend to wind up debugging down the road. As a result I don't really feel like I'm writing models twice - I model then code, then just read it directly, if that makes sense.

You are ultimately still right, I think - just a personal nuance I guess.
In Germany and the Nordic states wages are largely controlled by the powerful trade unions, the likes of which do not exist in the US and likely could not exist under current labor laws. Without powerful trade unions to set the floor, we have minimum wages. The alternative - allowing poverty wages - ensures the success of business models that can only survive by employing workers who rely on state aid (or are otherwise destitute). In effect, removing the wage floor just makes government bigger and almost everyone poorer.
Application doesn't provide a way to remove installed certificate. Don't use this app.
I've also seen too much of marketing is watching the project iterate too closely, it's a Ship of Theseus, and they never know when to declare a "Big Release" anyway. In six months all of the planks are different, but it happened so slowly for marketing they still think it is the same ship. Projects just get stuck in 1.x marketing version because marketing has no idea where major releases should go. They want always up to date SaaS but then are confused they can't market it like the big Waterfall adventures of yesterday.

At least with semver they might be forced to say something. I've done that a few times where the marketing version number displayed in the app is effectively just 1.{semver major}.{semver minor} and "just tell us when you want to bump that 1 to a 2 or something" getting the response "well, it hasn't really changed all that much from 1.0, has it?" and then pulling out the receipts of something like 30+ semver breaking differences in X months.
The answer used to be "Duke Nukem Forever" but I think it changed to HL3 after it actually came out.
Teachers don't seem to get trained on behaviors the way you'd might expect. It always surprises me how school psychs seem to have kids teachers think are intractable improving in thirty minutes just to have it wasted the second they're back in the regular classroom with someone who actively self-sabotages.

That said, school folks I know value credentials and authority toooons so recommending books without being "certified" somehow and having it eye rolled doesn't shock me.
No but it might be fun to play with in a Qubes environment or similar where you can inspect packets going in and out for anything weird happening.
> Motion blur

Motion blur doesn't work on modern TVs (i.e. OLED). They will display a static, blurry frame for 1/24 of a second, then snap to the next one practically instantly with a clearly visible jump. What I get in the end is a juddering mess that is also blurry, so I can literally see nothing.

Booking also has one feature that I've not seen replicated elsewhere: you can search for rooms that include bathtubs (not just showers). This is often a challenging thing to find in Europe. My wife has long enough hair that she can't really wash it more than once a week; it would dry out too badly, not to mention the time commitment to dry it all.
Well, English is not my first language or even second, so sometimes I can miss nuances and intricacies in picking the words. I did not mean that Apple will force them but make a deal with them like they did with the studios that released AAA games on Mac and iPhone.

Apple may come up with an offer that Rockstar can't refuse.
Fraud, conspiracy, and wage theft are the common ones that companies commit every day.

How many times have people been fraudulently misled about the scope and responsibilities of their roles? How many times have companies misclassified workers or denied overtime pay? How many times have companies lied about their products and services? How many times have big tech companies conspired to keep wages down? How many private equity and pharmaceutical companies have engaged in profiteering?

They regularly commit crimes. Though the definition of crime is constantly being patched with loopholes by lobbyists and other well-connected jackals. The Overton window keeps on shifting. It's just a power battle between people more powerful than you.
Many of your "bad" examples have good justifications too.

You might not notice the value because the problems they were designed to prevent do not occur!

Super cool, curious to see where you take this! I did some work on GPGPU for agent simulations for an RTS years ago ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4fKJIrv0J8 ). Doing things like pathfinding on the GPU gets tricky, especially taking into account how agents affect paths of other agents. Happy to jam anytime if you're brainstorming applications.
Interestingly in Silicon Valley, there's an angel funded startup founded by an ex-Google foodie who worked with some of the more notable Asian restaurants (the super popular ones with long lines).

She arrange it such that users from a given neighborhood could order via the website app by 4:30 from a specific set of 2-3 restaurants per day. The orders from a given neighborhood are bulk ordered for 3-4 drivers to pick up from the 2-3 restaurants and delivered to the same neighborhood between 6-7pm.

The list of 2-3 restaurants for a given neighborhood are shared a week in advance and in cooperation with the restaurants so they can handle the surge. Since the restaurants no it will likely be reheated the packaging is optimized.

Because there is a rotation of the restaurant - it paradoxically avoids the tyranny of choice issues with picking a restaurant and actually feels fresher in a discover new restaurants type of way.

During ZIRP/Covid the menu prices were sometimes lower and there was no delivery fee. Post Covid they do have a membership option or a very modest delivery fee.
My guess: it's too expensive to keep track of what constitutes "income arising out of crime" for the statutory period / lifetime of the perpetrator, especially if it could spawn an endless stream of minor cases for whether any specific income is truly "arising out of crime".
