The Neoliberal Transition in Intellectual and Economic History
This is one of the things I hate about the JS ecosystem.

"instead of learning x, use y library" Sometimes that advise makes sense, yes. But it's constantly used in a dogmatic manner.
It’s not really well known. We’ve almost stopped prosecuting any petty crime at all in some jurisdictions (so it’s like shoplift till you drop). AG’s and county DA’s, on the other hand, make it a point to pursue white collar crime very aggressively, and whenever the Feds are involved (eg for insider trading), they are very aggressive. The issue with white collar crime, is that it is simply very hard to identify, while the guy walking out of Target with a basketful of stuff while avoiding checkout is just really obvious.

It is also a matter of incentives. The only thing goin after most shoplifters will get the state is having to fund their court appearances and incarceration, a net loss. Going after a rich guy for a crime nets them real money, so when they can they definitely will do it (at least where I live, your locale will differ).
> Halogen bulbs found in headlights produce a lot of light under that wavelength, and are going to be at a much higher intensity than turquoise indicator lights.

Tangential, but holy shit, this is great to know, and explains why I generally feel blinded every time someone with those horrible headlights drives by.

I wonder if there’s anything that can be done (to my windshield? to some glasses?) that can reduce the impact of this at night?
When humans create movies, they often build a set whose universe has an age, specific laws, all kinds of creatures, a history, and so on. Yet, they created it in a few days to months. They did so to tell a specific story. They will focus on what is central to the purpose of the movie, like specific creations (characters). The creators and those closest to them reap most of the rewards, too.

Likewise, God said He made this world in six days to show who He is (His attributes) and have a relationship with us. He describes those who put trust in Christ as adopted sons and daughters who are a “treasured possession” (ESV). He will preserve us forever to worship Him and so He can lavish His love on us. He can’t help but do that as source of all love.

Unlike the animals, we were made in His image. He gave us morals, free will, and the highest intelligence (power). We were to love Him first and each other. So much higher than animals. He owes us absolutely nothing. He’s simply gracious. He makes it rain on the just and the unjust alike.

Yet, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Every human has used their power for evil repeatedly in their lives while turning on their eternal creator. Evil can’t be allowed in heaven. God is justified in putting them in a lake of fire where the smoke of our torment goes up forever and ever.

Then, we get to the story all creation is to tell. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. There’s no greater love than laying down your life for another. God took flesh, lived like us tempted in every way without sin, died for people that still hated Him, and told us to bring His message to His lost children. He wants them back and to be with Him forever.

Even as you mock Him, He gave you breath to do that. Even though He’s hated and mocked on our screens, Christ still sends His Gospel out of love for you. Even though we’re still sinners and selfish humans, the Spirit of God makes us love you enough to put down our tech toys and try to carry His message to you so you don’t burn forever. And keep doing that for new people after people spit on us, fire us, call the cops, etc.

Christ must love you. Will you repent and believe in and love Him back? I put before you life and death. Choose life.
Right. In a true spinoff, there would be an event in which all Intel shareholders of record in the ex-date would receive a tax-free distribution of Y shares of the new entity for each Intel share owned.

I’m being pedantic, I know
That’s fair and yes I’d expect in the event of a claim, short of litigation, you’re going to see telemetry data shared to support determining who’s at fault. It would be interesting to see how that’s handled in the agreements you have to enter into to activate this system in these vehicles…

But back to the original comment - this won’t be a lottery ticket for anyone because the Mercedes probably has millimeter-accuracy data on proximity of it to other vehicles from LiDAR, its movement, their movement, so outside of ADAS failure (which you’d expect to be rare in these conditions - known highways and under 40mph; why else would Mercedes take on liability?) it really will mostly be “the other party was at fault and must pay”, and repairs on 2024+ Mercedes with all this technology won’t be cheap either.
Curiously, if you look into it, it was the original home release that had the colors done all wrong. The original theatrical release was, according to observers, hardly green.

The 4K version, ironically, is more correct to the original theatrical film.
The best teams I have worked with have been tightly knit for years. I had a tenure as a consultant for a team I knew quite well and those guys, around 7 or 8, had been together for perhaps 10 years.

They knew eachother so well and of course a side effect from that was that they produced absolutely astonishing things.

I was fended by these guys and the level of tooling set up for me not to fuck up, and their reviews, test strategies etc. was lean, direct and nutured by every single individual. They had built these skills as a team through years of hardship. It was quiet a Ln experience to be honest.

So yes, I totally agree with you on that people are what matters most and being in an organisation which hands down are backing it.

I could be worse if it had chroma information.
It’s almost certainly true that the most commonly committed crime is tax evasion, with drug use as another contender. Neither are particularly confined to the lower incomes.
I know cases where caches on top of a kv store improved performance a lot. I don’t think it’s as simple as you claim.
No film (or other imaging) is real, of course. But film without unnecessary processing is a reflection of reality. IMHO, color processing from color film is necessary.

> It's still way better and more watchable than b&w.

Well, we can agree to disagree on this; clearly I'm in the minority that wants to watch films as originally captured/presented. But I wouldn't object to someone saying the altered versions are more watchable --- more people are willing to watch them; and better I wouldn't object vigorously too. I'm objecting to it being called real and true. The original images, limited as they are are more real than an intepreted image based on the actual image. Just as actual images are more real than a reenactment, even though a reenactment allows for much nicer image capture that could be more immersive and better.
Fair points. But, mark-recapture is about practicality. It's not perfect, but it's a solid compromise between accuracy and feasibility (so I mean best in these regards, to be 100% clear). Sure, different methods might skew results, but this technique is about getting a reliable estimate, not pinpoint accuracy. As for learning behavior in fish, that's considered in many studies (and many other things, like listed here: https://fishbio.com/fate-chance-encounters-mark-recapture-st... ), but overall, it doesn't hugely skew the population estimates. So, again, it's about what works best in the field, not in theory.
I was confused there for a second I though it was about Gooey the GUI python module

Altman's sister's 'memories' of abuse were developed in adulthood [1]. Recovered memories are deeply suspect, and a number of serious miscarriages of justice have happened because of them. Most infamously the 'satanic panic' trials of the eighties and early nineties. Elizabeth Loftus has done lots of good work on the dubious nature of eyewitness testimony, and recovered memories in particular [3]. Essentially, they're far more likely to be contrived than real - especially when 'recovered' decades later during psychotherapy. I trained as a psychoanalyst myself (in addition to studying pure psychology at undergrad), and while repression and denial are genuine and common defence mechanisms; there is a whole pseudoscientific cult around elevating them into sources of personal truth. This goes back to Freud's original sin - not believing the direct accounts of family sexual abuse from his female patients, and instead perceiving them as fantasies. Ironically this has often led to an overemphasis on the veracity of unconscious beliefs [2].

The question is should we be going for "original intent" or "original effect"? Regardless of the filmmakers' intention, the "cartoonishly green" original theatrical version is what became a smash hit. Once the public has seen it, and embraced it, shouldn't that be considered the canonical version? The proof of the pudding is in the eating, after all. To tinker with it afterwards risks ruining the effect, regardless of the intention.
Python is slow and Django is a beast. It's very expensive to scale to non-trivial usage. Great for productivity though. But you'll pay for that in your cloud bill.
> "Higher policed areas are wealthier"

And yet, in places like NYC, the complaint from many activists is the opposite - that poor people get arrested more because its the poorer areas with more policing.

A simple example in NYC is turnstile jumping. The people willing to risk a ticket/police engagement over a $2.90 fare are likely not high income. Yes you do see it even in higher income areas but not at nearly the same rate. Ride a train that goes through rich and poor neighborhoods and spend 10 minutes at the turnstiles of each.. the disparity is huge.

Some argue it's unfair that people have to pay the fare and it should just be free. To me it seems like moving the goalposts on what we consider crime. There's already programs for reduced fairs for students, elderly, and low income. There's plenty of other examples of this behavior.
No, you’re missing my point.

The theatrical film had very little green tint compared to the home releases. The home releases are “cartoonishly green” when the theatrical version was not.

The 4K simply goes back to what it was originally. It is, quite literally, undoing the tampering that’s been happening since the first (edit: second, 2004 release) DVD.
Yes. My company bills me out at roughly 3x what I see. And when I do a side project for someone, I bill the same 3x rate - and even though it's more money in my pocket than my day job, it's more hassle and not clearly a better arrangement (which is why I still work a day job).
That people commit shop-lifting and other minor crimes with impunity is a right-wing meme that has very little basis in reality. It's being pushed by grifters with a financial interest in promoting the idea of societal decay and disorder and getting people worked up and afraid.

Tampa must be an exception. They’ve quadrupled the size of their space in the past few years, expanding into every adjacent unit in the building. It’s probably about 10,000 ft^2 now and still only $50/mo. Obviously rent is cheaper here.

You’d be surprised how many techies making $200k a year will engage in insider trading. The first few cases I heard about were just shocking, because they are very likely to get caught, and their lives ruined.

If you were a member of a monthly-subscription social network, would you feel entitled to your friends being allowed on for free? Should a gym be forced to allow you to bring friends? Surely you'd enjoy it more if you could exercise with your buddies, so what right do they have to insist that your buddies get their own memberships?
Works for Seattle too :)
Spot on - and this doesn't only apply to white collar crime - the wealthy are overwhelmingly more likely to escape prosecution for any crime.

Whether through having resources to get off (legitimately or illegitimately), or just cultural bias (Eg. The mere existence of terms like "white-collar crime")
It doesn’t normally cause sleep trouble. But I remember my brain trying to “parse” my surroundings into Tetris blocks, buildings in particular.
Didn’t read the study but I don’t think 50% of Swedes having a whatever the name was savings account is “representative” but I’m not a Swede. I would think that 50% is not randomly distributed. Like could that 50% be older and lower income, more likely to be recent migrants, etc… at least in America people who play the lottery are below average.

I could read the paper, but I’m dubious it or any other study can answer this question to any degree of confidence, with much generalizability.
Just saying "it's low" again is no answer. Which designers are making this higher royalty? The other ones working for Kosta Boda? Ones at other companies? Other industries? Convenient imaginary ones?
Interesting reading. "Four percent drop in electricity generation by nuclear power in 2022, which, if you take into account that China increased by three percent and if you look at the world, means that the drop was five percent outside China."

I'm not really sure what to think about this yet. I suppose comcast has the consumer customer base so when news like this breaks shade naturally gets thrown their way. But it's hard to fault comcast for having netscaler infra (which i guess was acquired by citrix at some point? dont quote me on that). 9 days to patch isn't really what I call blatant negligence (which is what i'd like to think would make me likely to terminate my contract). It's not always easy to just yank node balancers from your perimiter, especially if you have as large and probably ugly permimeter as comcast does. I'm sure that most people on this site had very little faith to lose in Citrix/Netscaler prior to this incident, so it's not a surprise there's little focus on them here, but as far as the consequences in any form, I really doubt Citrix / Netscaler will face enough punishment. It's also unclear to me exactly what the consequences of this data leaking are. last four of my social? Well, my full social is already out there, thanks to equifax (if no one else).

There's also the fact that a large number of companies were and still are being popped with citrixbleed, ransomware has gotten in line for this ride, and i bet it will take 6+ months for 80% of vuln systems to be patched/purged. Again, 9 days?

Ars technica's Dan Goodin has two articles about this (ive shortened them a bit):

Verizon once again busted handing out wireless subscriber information

It baffles me how this is a US specific issue, there has to be a case study on it of some sort
I approach it not from a perspective of "taste" per se, but from a perspective of purity and truth. All of these techniques (AI upscaling, colorizing, interpolation, etc) are adding information that was never there, which means you're no longer watching the genuine media.

By all means take the original film and rescan it in the highest possible resolution, to capture all the information that was in the film, but to add information that wasn't there to begin with is going too far.

It's like all the modern TVs that have the horrendous "motion smoothing" feature, which is enabled by default, and makes movies look like soap operas. When the TV performs frame interpolation, it's adding information that was never there, and wasn't intended by the director.
To be fair/devil's advocate - "GUI" has been phonetically pronounced as "Gooey" by many people since inception, thus I think it is entirely reasonable for them to have adopted this name entirely unaware of the eponymous python library.
it was not even a "leak". they just set up a search, like most major newspapers.

> A March 2, 2015 New York Times article broke the story that the Benghazi panel had discovered that Clinton exclusively used her own private email server rather than a government-issued one throughout her time as Secretary of State, and that her aides took no action to preserve emails sent or received from her personal accounts as required by law.[42][43][44] At that point, Clinton announced that she had asked the State Department to release her emails.[45] Some in the media labeled the controversy "emailgate."[46][47][48]
That's not the issue. They have a monopoly on phones that show high social status in many areas, and they use anticompetitive practices to protect it. Including deliberately ensuring that their messaging systems are not compatible with Android.

> That's odor

That’s not odor. Odor is perceivable.

If, let’s say for sake of argument, this study’s hypothesis is that the effect is caused by pheromones, then by definition it’s odorless.

In fact, one of the inherent challenges of trying to study this effect between humans is that the participants need to be clean and odorless, to ensure you’re actually measuring the effects of pheromones and not, say, odor. This review talks about this challenge[0].

Nuclear waste from small modular reactors (2022)
> Here, we compare three distinct SMR designs to an 1,100-MWelec pressurized water reactor in terms of the energy-equivalent volume, (radio-)chemistry, decay heat, and fissile isotope composition of (notional) high-, intermediate-, and low-level waste streams. Results reveal that water-, molten salt–, and sodium-cooled SMR designs will increase the volume of nuclear waste in need of management and disposal by factors of 2 to 30.
Comments like this make me realize every physics teacher and prof I ever had was a hack who just taught cargo cult.

Right, but physicians currently don't have time to do that and don't get paid for it. For provider organizations it ends up being more profitable to hire certified coders to do the coding so that physicians can focus on treating patients.
Preservation doesn't always mean to preserve every raw bit or analog signal off the original medium, but preserve the content itself, even if compression is used, because certain niche movies never get re-released on modern medium, you're just left with the original Laser-Disk or VHS, maybe even DVD if you're lucky, and that's it, so compressed video is better than no video because you have no legal way of obtaining that content today if it's not sold on any physical medium or on any streaming service.

Compression is needed on torrent sites because few peers are interesting in downloading and seeding a 60+GB raw file of a movie if the 12GB mkv looks just as good on the 1080p Wallmart monitor.

There are of course also RAW rips of blu-rays out there but mostly for AAA IPs like Star Wars, LotR, Matrix, etc, not for niche content that have a reduced audience.
