Thats not true.

When you have moving film, you have 24fps from the same scene, a lens and a compression algorithm.

There is a higher chance for pixel a to be color y if over a span of x frames and compression artifact this pixel shows value z.

You will also have the chance to track details visible from frames/stills/pictures from seconds or even minutes ago if the actor just has the same cloth.

And you can estimate the face of the actor across the movie and create an inherant face.

Nonetheless, besides this type of upscaling, if an AI is trained to upscale based on probability of the real world and the movie is from the real world, it is still more than just random.

Btw. there have been plenty of movie makers making movies the way they did because thats the only way they were able to make it. Low light high end camera equipment is expensive.

And if you watch The Matrix without editing on a oled 60" and higher, it looks off because greenscreen details are more noticable than it has been before. Its aboslutly valid to revisit original material to adjust it to today (at least for me).
> But with a full BEV, you don't need to charge every night, just like you don't need to fill up your gasoline car every evening in your own garage.

Not just like. I can fill up my car in 5 minutes and it lasts 1-4 weeks. That's why I don't need to fill it up every night.

That's not the case with PHEVs, or even, I believe, BEVs.
You can overexaggerate a valid concern in an alarmistic manner. I'd argue the alarmistic, implausible reporting on climate change is the main cause of the scepticism.
I think of the Aztek and its beautiful styling (compared to the Cybertruck).

I don't think there are any as broad as "autism" in general, but "ADHD" in general is close. That's why both have been divided up in recent years for the sake of precision.

Seriously 5/10 people in my friends group have ADHD (some with autism too) and we all have such wildly different symptoms and struggles with it that it took quite some time for us to recognize our shared syndrome lol
I can't help but think, was this part of Tesla's famed "death ray"?
> I don't even know if I can buy cheap Chinese EVs in the US

The only one you can is the EX30, but even that's more pricy than a Tesla Model 3.

The truly cheap EVs you see in Asia (eg. The lower end BYD, Zeekr, MGs) are aimed at developing markets, not developed.

And yes, plenty of Eastern European members of the EU (the ones where the cheaper end EV makers are targeting) are still developing/emerging markets - Romania, Hungary, Poland, and Bulgaria still are developing (though might not be in 10-15 years).

Higher end Chinese EVs like Polestar and Volvo (Volvo has been Geely for almost 2 decades now) are aimed at developed countries, in order to manage the brand perception.
I fear it will be a quantity issue more than a quality one.

Why refactor some code to make it extensible, when AI can write a whole new module from scratch?

Don't understand the 10 AI written classes? Leave them be and have AI write some more.

Once we get AI code deletion and refactoring I guess it will be ok, but generative models are a problem because code is a liability.

This looks really nice! Something my staff would definitely appreciate, especially the ability to 'version' the text file (even if it's just different copies of yaml files in a directory). But the deployment aspect is a non-starter, I just can't tell my staff "install (the correct version of) graphviz (for your OS), then install (the correct version of) python, then run it from the commandline giving the yaml file as an argument". At minimum it'd have to be a standalone executable, and running it would need to be simplified, maybe not with a real GUI but perhaps "drop the yaml file on the executable" would suffice.

Perhaps I could rig up an internal webapp where a user could submit/post a file from an html form and it would download the resulting image, but that'd be a bit of a clunky process for the user.

But no, if you don't need that and if you've done the setup part, and you're just looking at the VPN part, you wouldn't gain anything.

Tailscale magically works, recovers well from crashes/network changes (I've had a few issues here with WG native client), manages your keys (and rotation of), creates point to point tunnels (which is just confusing via a plain text config with several devices).
True, but there are two bugs outlined in the post (inability to recreate a known valid Photos library; and 'select all' appearing to work but not actually working). There are also instructions to reproduce both.

The second is pariticularly pernicious; users are unlikely to ever expect/detect that select all had randomly not actually selected all their photos/videos for import (at least until they look for specific photos in the future and they aren't there - at which point it would be difficult to trace back to the root cause).
It's the same stuff. I'm not sure how much of it leaks, but you have to either flare it or use it for something or it leaks anyway. Using it for cars and trucks is basically flaring it but using that energy for propulsion.

The taxes are not based on that, though. They're strictly interested in tailpipe emissions (not even lifecycle emissions), and don't recognise biogas at all.

I'm planning on switching to a BEV eventually, but right now it's not financially possible. Most of the time I commute on my bicycle anyway.
Is this the year where Apple increases the memory on the base model above 8GB? Will they finally allows you to have 32GB of memory on the macbook Air?

It's actually somewhat poignant to me that this not an obvious point for many circling around this. Accelerationism (in its true pseudo-Deleuzian/Nick Landian form, not the subreddit) is coming for us one way or another.

Subjectivity as we know it is quite contemporary, articulated in part by things like Kant's kingdom. I think things will start to change again. The world of love, art, particularly human passions might fade away to something different. You can almost feel people hungry for this. It doesn't have to be good or bad, its not for our subjectivity to understand after all. But I will say it does feel like we are leaving summertime now, towards a colder future.

With the halving of Bitcoin mining rewards approaching, many are excited about the continued deflation of the currency, everybody's seeing green. My concern is that this means miners will have to consume double the energy load to secure the same amount of BTC. Any news and sentiment you've seen thus far about the climate disaster that is PoW mining consumption may be significantly exacerbated. In this situation, we will certainly see more regulation and worsening sentiment regarding the ecosystem.

The expectation from many seems to be that with the deflation of the currency, while double the energy will be necessary to mine the same amount of coin, the value of the coin could double, leading to the change in rewards adding up to a wash. The situation is at best foreboding.
I mean, I literally see 1.2Gb/s over Wifi 6E from my MacBook Air M3 to my NAS, which is more than I get over wired GigE. So that's not marketing, that's (very-micro) real-world benchmarking.

I do live in a house on a 1.5 acre parcel, so I'm not getting much congestion on the Wifi bands. Even so, I would regularly get 400Mb/s on Wifi 6 in our condo in NY where you could see 30 or more networks.

Along with hope that machine translation can fix this problem and remove hurdles for international collaboration.
My personal take is that C# is seen as more of a corporate language and not ‘kewl’.

I still remember doing my work in C# while Ruby on Rails was the thing all the cool kids were doing. These days one here’s significantly more about JS based development with things like React (which also seems to have hit its peak).

I’m a simple lass myself. I do C# and Sql - with a little bit of Python and I’m trying to get my head around Rust.

However for me my strength (as much as it is being not a true developer) will always be C#. As I approach my 60’s soon I’m OK with that. I dare say if I were in my 30s I’d want to experiment more.
RudderStack entered a crowded Customer Data Platform market in 2019. It clearly differentiated from other platforms by choosing to not host the customer data on its platform rather choosing warehouse-native and Open Source approach where you store data on your own central warehouse only. It made the solution best-in-class solving obvious data quality and governance issues. The early success in such market is seen clearly in the fact that customers replace their existing product (Customer Data Platform providers, the leading ones) with your product (RudderStack).

Is this correct categorization (I feel lines are quite blurred between the categories but nevertheless useful)?

You can't just store a single std::vector{10, 20, 30}. You would need to store a (virtual) factory function instead which, while doable, adds more overhead.

> It doesn't matter whether the general public are right or wrong. I think what we're hearing in this thread is mostly a developer viewpoint. Try to see it like the customers see it.

As an open source developer, I have complex feelings about users who act like they're "customers," entitled to make demands of me. (Unless they are, in fact, paying customers. Paying customers are great, but they're often not the goal of most of my projects.)

The stuff I write on my own time, I write first and foremost for myself. I'm happy to share it with other people, but that's a gift. Sometimes sharing will get a little scene going, and we can all have fun together. But I certainly don't spend $400+/year to "code sign" my binaries for MacOS and Windows. 90% of time, if I hear from a Windows user, it's because they're upset with me and they want something. And I will often deliberately avoid advertising certain tools, because I have zero desire to spend my life providing free tech support.

I'd rather have 100 users who were into what I was trying to do, than 10,000 unpaying "customers" where I had to worry about things like "It doesn't matter whether the general public are right or wrong." I do that at work, not for free on the weekend.

So if I want to enable CoPilot's auto-complete when designing a new file format, then eh, I really don't care if this makes some user suddenly upset and unwilling to use my project. I'm happy to label things clearly so that they know what they're getting and they can make an informed decision. But they're not my customers unless they paid me money.

You can scaffold up "unit tests", but honestly for type-level stuff you are working in a different space entirely. Your types are correctness proofs, so your underlying code is either typed correctly or not. There's not really a middle ground that unit tests catch.

Having said that, typescript's soundness issues make it easy to drive a truck through a certain kind of issue, but generally speaking if your type-level programming is no good you're not really going to be able to run unit tests, let alone validate them. Your code just won't go anywhere.

> its probably worth buying your own set of crimp tools

I used to make a product that required a wire harness with about 50 conductors (TBF, half of them were Ground). I'm not Toyota, just some dude in a basement, but I found an outfit that would cut to length & strip wire and crimp on the terminals I specified, for less than it cost me to just buy the wire myself. Economies of scale FTW! Unfortunately, that company was bought by another and they no longer make wire assemblies for outside businesses.

Crimping wires in bulk reliably is slow and time consuming if you're doing it by hand, even with the right tools (expensive too). It's generally better to have a supplier with automated tools do it: even the terminal manufacturers seem to think of their manual tooling as second-class citizens. Digi-key has a pretty wide selection of off the shelf crimped wires; I think Pololu does also.

Like you said, there's not a lot of demand and it seems like the harness manufacturers are dying off.
