In a modern video editing system it's still a non trivial challenge, because you can't just go using any COTS HDMI extension system, which might be good for 2160p30 at 420 color space, or maybe 2160p60 at 420 color space, but may NOT be capable of 2160p60 at 422 or 444 color space. Or may not function for DCI resolution at 4096x2160. Or anything 8K.

There's plenty of HDMI2.0 compliant "video over ethernet cable or fiber things" which are the ordinary COTS products that may not be sufficient for serious video editing needs.

People on video editing workstations these days are using higher end monitors that can be trusted to work in 10bit color and to match a certain color space grading.

On the other hand it's a lot easier these days to have a relatively quiet video editing workstation that has 8 to 16TB of local, pci-express bus attached NVME storage for work space, and that same workstation can have a not-very-expensive 100GbE NIC in it attached to some large/noisy storage elsewhere.

In short, it depends on how it was shot. If using analog film, then it's likely a higher quality scan can be made (assuming you can find the footage), but if it's digital sensors that were used, then the quality is what it is.

So for 35mm film which a lot of movies and high-end commercials use, then you can most likely get a good 4K version from that. So if you know how it was shot, you could try to figure out how likely it is :)

re: Apple not using Final Cut Pro (FCP). I feel like Apple made an intentional decision to abandon the high end production market when they released FCP 10 in 2011. They dropped multicam, XML import/export, etc. I heard they eventually brought most of these features back but seems clear Apple isn't focusing on this part of the market.

> KiCAD must be moving up in the world if people are using it for 6-layer boards.

With every release of KiCad, the difference between KiCad and Altium gets smaller and smaller.

> With a pro tool, you're paying for a small army of people doing data entry on part info.

That has never been my experience using any PCB tool (even the truly big boys like Expedition or Allegro). Any libraries managed by an entity external to the people designing PCB boards have always been a disaster. If you haven't personally put something on a board, it is, practically by definition, broken.

Anyone using a "pro" tool (Expedition or Allegro) has their own army of people managing their library.

I could rant yet again about how Altium screwed themselves by encrypting libraries so that you had to subscribe to them, but I'm tired of that rant.

In Altium's stead, KiCad has been eating up the bottom end more and more. There are still some missing features (copper on inner footprint layers, flex board stackups), but they get fewer and fewer with each release. And Autodesk's moves with Eagle have hastened even more people onto KiCad.

You don't even have to make the argument that Apple is untrustworthy. The stronger argument is that you can't know what Apple will be like in the future, or even if they will still be independent (which seems far fetched since they're so big) or a division that deals with user data won't get sold off with the data even if it's to a respectable company, because that company may eventually sell if to a slightly less respectable company, and repeat.

The risk for PII being utilized nefariously never goes away as long as it exists, so the only same stance is to not allow it to exist in others handle if at all possible. It's the same reason you don't share your banking credentials with your friends. Sure, you might trust them, but you can't know the future, so why even expose yourself to risk you don't have to?

This would be an option if the Linux userland wasn't a mish-mash of unconnected developers with their own practices and release cadence. It's why we have LTS distros where the company will put in the massive amount of work to preserve binary compatibility.

And I'm from Finland.

Nurse salaries have been a major talking point for decades. While only a small fraction of nurses move to Norway, it's still enough people that it gets mentioned in the news once in a while. Especially around elections.

The official languages of Finland are Finnish and Swedish. If you speak one as a native language, you must learn the other. If you work as a nurse in Finland, it's quite likely that you have to use Swedish at work. At least occasionally. If you are comfortable doing that, learning Norwegian is not such a big deal.

I studied computer science and eventually ended up in the US. And I'm still here after a surprisingly long time. Based on what I have personally seen, Finns who move to the US for work are less likely to stay than those who move to Sweden, UK, or Switzerland. The culture is just too different. And if you have kids, the salaries are not actually that high. The consensus seems to be that for those with kids, 300k in the US is worth about as much as 100k in Finland. At least in the areas where immigrants with nominally high salaries are likely to live.

I think it's very important to compare it to early 1930s Germany, and not to the murderous and genocidal Nazi regime in the late 1930s and onward. It all started with smaller things and got worse really fast. But it took a few years to completely reshape the administration and change the laws.

> The surprising aspect is that they don't use proxies for editing rather than remote desktop.

In my experience it is way easier to scale storage bandwidth than compute, atleast locally.

There has been times where I've been able to cut a shoot from the raw files, and this has beeen corroborated by other editors, beforr proxies were available.

So it took less time to cut and submit for review than to actually generate the proxy media.

Sure if your workflow had a decent gap between shooting and post then generating proxies is trivial but sometimes a little more storage and memory bandwidth goes a very long way.
Yeah, I probably accidentally added that bit myself.
Memristor is cool, and it is all in one (including memory), but it is not standard CMOS process.

That is whole difference.

Any way, will be sort of CCD matrix to use any of these techs (may be something like modern Flash as storage, or DRAM cell with refresh), but CMOS is very straightforward to produce and to use.

Why I mention CCD - it is analog storage with multiple levels, organized as multiple lines with output line on one side.
It could also be used as solid-state circular buffer to access separate cells.

So, these CMOS transistors will work as neuron, but weights will be stored as analog value in CCD.

Thanks for a thoughtful post.

The fantastically intoxicating valuations of many current stocks is due to breathing the fumes of LLMs as artificial intelligence.

TFA puts it this way:

"The real reason companies are doing this is because Wall Street wants them to. Investors have been salivating for an Apple “super cycle” — a tech upgrade so enticing that consumers will rush to get their hands on the new model. "

Now to consider your two points...

> The first ... natural language querying.

Natural-language inputs are structured: they are language. But in any case, we must not minimise the significant effort to collect [0] and label trustworthy data for training. Given untrustworthy, absurd, and/or outright ignorant and wrong training data, an LLM would spew nonsense. If we train an LLM on tribalistic fictions, Reddit codswallop, or politicians' partisan ravings, what do you think the result of any rational natural-language query would be? (Rhetorical question.)

In short, building and labelling the corpus of knowledge is the essential technical advancement. We already have been doing natural-language processing with computers for a long time.

> The second ... new media recaptiulates the old.

LLMs are a new application. There are some effective uses of the new application. But there are many unsuitable applications, particularly where correctness is critical. (TFA mentions this.) There are illegal uses too.

TFA itself says,

"What problems is it solving? Well, so far that’s not clear! Are customers demanding it? LOL, no."

I agree that finding the profit models beyond stock hyperbole is the current endeavour. Some attempts are already proven: better Web search (with a trusted corpus), image scoring/categorisation, suggesting/drafting approximate solutions to coding or writing tasks.

How to monetise these and future implementations will determine whether LLMs devour anything serviceable the way Radio ate Theatre, the way TV ate Theatre, Radio and Print Journalism, the way the Internet ate TV, Radio, the Music Industry, and Print Journalism, and the way Social Media ate social discourse.

<edit: Note that the above devourings were mostly related to funding via advertising.>

If LLMs devour and replace the Village Idiot, we will have optimised and scaled the worst of humanity.

I don't think a new distro is needed. Most commonly used windows apps can be made to work through wine, but the hacks used to make one app work can break others and vice versa. Similarly, everyone needs to play around with settings individually to get things to work. What works on one person's machine might not work on another's, because there's no consistency in, effectively, configuration.

The simplest solution, to me, is to just distribute containers (or some other sandbox) with wine in it, and the necessary shenanigans to get the windows program (just the one) working in the container, and just distribute that. Everyone gets the same artifact, and it always works. No more dicking around with wine settings, because it's baked in for whatever the software is.

Yes, this is tremendously space inefficient, so the next step would be a way of slimming wine down for container usage.

The only real barrier to this system is licensing and software anti patterns. You might have to do some dark magic to install the software in the container in the first place.

> You need maybe 30 min to bootstrap Arch

If you know exactly what you're doing, ok, but why should I remember something that I'll do few times and that can be done in a nice GUI installer?

I have installed Arch in VMs for several reasons and once I installed Arch in my computer because "why not?". I spent some hours (yes, hours) installing arch, configuring post-install stuff, trying to figure out why my wi-fi wasn't working and installing basic stuff (Firefox, KDE apps, Emacs, etc). When I finished, I looked to it and thought "well, after all this time what I have here is a Manjaro".

Seeing as you somewhat see what future of the industry is, and assuming you're right, it puts you in a good position to gain the skills you think will be sought after.

Any new operating system has to answer the question “why? what will this do that Linux can’t?”.

If there’s a good answer to that, sure build it, but Linux is incredibly flexible, powerful, honed, compatible and other things.

Yep! They probably don't want to and most likely have a plan on better monetizing Apple TV, in the short term the brand making aspect is well worth it for a brand like Apple.

This was true of the real book too. Quite a lot of the songs have incorrect transcriptions, sometimes they use a different key than the original, or the "original" key when a different one is more commonly heard. All editions of it I've seen have this to a significant extent, of course with differences making it even more confusion sometimes.

And a lot of natural variation has been elided with these tools, a lot of jazz classics I'm pretty sure didn't really have a "standard" version until after the real book took over; different fake books were popular in different cities and so there was regional performance variation that we don't see much of anymore.

There are probably novel issues introduced by the ireal fakes but a lot of them are the same problems my grandfather was observing as a young working musician when the real book became so dominant. They are extremely real downsides of these tools though.

I think what I was referring to are repeaters you put between cables, that amplifies the signal. You connect that device between two HDMI cables (say 5m) + connect it to power for it to actually extend the distance the signal can travel.

I'm not sure what an active HDMI cable would be, maybe circuitry inside the cable that draws power from the HDMI port?

> Is the launcher spying on my system, sending information back to HQ?

The game and the launcher is published by the same people. If they wanted to spy on you, there's no reason not to do that in the game as well.

> Can't you tell me the game needs updating when I play the game and then update the game in-game?

While not impossible, this is way more difficult to do safely and reliably in-game. There's a reason most updaters live outside of the main app process.

Then it's a lot easier to recover from this in a separate, dedicated, minimal app, than as part of the game itself.
Flatpack does not require user namespaces. bubblewrap, the tool Flatpack uses to secure things, can be installed set-uid and can then setup the sandbox without the user namespaces.

Chromium-based browsers also include own setuid tool to setup the sandbox if the user-namespaces are not available.

Even podman could have used something like that. But I guess RedHat assumes that the user namespaces are solid these days are do not bother…
