It's already happening, there was even a huge ad campaign

"Real-time graphics" is typically used in gaming to differentiate between pre-rendered content and content that is rendered on the fly. It's not related to a 1-1 time scale of the content it's displaying. So, my assumption here is that they mean it's actually being rendered as you are using it and at an acceptable framerate, as opposed to the need for it to be simulated, rendered, and played back as a video.

Henry Posner from B&H directly addressed this in a comment back in 2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12187917

Yep, went to CC, transferred to a school a great computer engineering program and saved a ton of money. My mental health got the best of me in high school and I almost definitely couldn't have gotten accepted anywhere if I hadn't gone the community route, so I am super happy it worked out the way it did.

Next January you should get an audio or video recording. I'd love to hear that!

I am definitely not a doctor. However, I have a friend diagnosed with aphantasia and this is almost exactly how she described it to me.

Maybe like figs[1]

Are you perhaps describing phosphenes?

Hmm. I think that's interesting. I don't agree with you, but let's take your statement as fact.

What's wrong with that?

The content itself is generally him explaining from a pilot's point of view situations that have happened, like crashes or ATC issues, or responses to clickbait misinformation from other places on social media. His responses tend to be reasonable and enjoyable and for people who "aren't into aviation," maybe his videos will make them more interested. He has never made it about himself, the guy got promoted to Captain and didn't (and hasn't?) even mentioned it. Even his avatar and banner have him at 3 bars. It seems to me that he genuinely cares about aviation and informing people who aren't familiar with it. I feel like he brings a lot of value.

If you're not into it's fine, but I think it's a bit unfortunate you feel the need to play gatekeeper.

74gear[1] on YouTube is a 747 Captain. It's a great aviation channel in general if anyone is interested in that stuff. He had mentioned two things that really illustrated to me your point a while back:

A) Stuff breaks on planes. All the time. They are complex machines, but they typically have so many redundancies that unless there is a completely catastrophic failure, they are still perfectly safe to fly. An example: a starter is out in one of the engines, but there are four starters for an engine. Once the issue is known, if they can't fix it where they are currently at, they will do an empty flight (well, crew only) to the next maintenance hub and get it fixed. Before a plane even gets off the ground they have a checklist and do their best to determine if the plane is airworthy and safe to fly or not. If they feel the plane is unsafe, they can refuse to fly it. It is important to them to make sure the plane is safe to fly because:

B) They also don't want to die.

That last bit really hit hard for me for some reason, it's hilarious but at the same time eye opening. I think that I just never really thought of it in that way before. Maybe it's just me.

I believe they were saying that the rumors saying Red was going to be acquired Canon not Nikon, due to the fact Red cameras use a Canon mount, were incorrect.

Were also called mosquito hawks or mosquito eaters in Southern California. Looking back, grandparents were actually from Oklahoma, so I now have no idea if it was regional or just us. Daddy Long Legs are Cellar Spiders here though. For sure.

Well that's kinda ironic seeing as they hurting the environment and making groundwater unsafe to drink in their quest to do so [1]

Water? You mean like in the toilet? What for?

I worked selling watches for a time in my life and we were instructed that every watch on display had to be set and stopped at 10:10. Looking that up it seems to not have been specific to just the company I worked for.[1] So, counter-intuitively, a store selling clocks at the mall might not have the time displayed either. :)

Here is the underlying study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-023-02164-w

The section you are talking about is marked as [citation needed]. So, I googled it and this[1] was one of the first results and it seems to disagree with that analysis. FactCheck.org[2] also looks like it agrees with the USA Today article.

I don't think the 14th Amendment existed in 1860.

For residential accounts, it is not considered acceptable use[1] to "operate servers for commercial purposes."

This was the same experience for me too, except that it really took after the 2nd shot to be really apparent.

My girl has had shoulder arthritis for years and walked with a limp. We had her on daily pain medication and we tried multiple kinds because they weren't very effective. It always was a chore because she hated the pills and would literally eat around them in placed inside a treat (she wouldn't even take the flavored ones). She was in pain and would basically just lay down all day.

Now? No limping anymore. No pills. She isn't scared to go up and down the stairs. Jumping on and off the couch without missing going up or being scared to hop down. Running around with my other dog.

It's really been night and day.

Oklahoma Joe's (as it was called when I went there, it might just be Joe's now) had a location at a gas station in Kansas City and it was some of the best dry rub ribs I've ever had.

The issue for him was less that he intentionally crashed the plane for views and more that he lied to investigators about knowing where the crash was, then went out and retrieved the crashed plane, chopped it, and stashed different bits of it in different dumpsters. Surprised he only got 6 months to be honest.

Don’t worry, that’s just tech debt and we will deeefinitely come back to it next sprint.

It sounds like a good thing!

Vaccines are made to target a specific or a specific set of pathogens.

The background states that when you gain immunity to the target pathogens, that’s called “antigen-specific adaptive immunity.” When you gain immunity to pathogens similar to, but not, the target, that’s called “cross-protective immunity.” Sometimes, vaccines provide “beneficial off-target (heterologous) effects that alter immune responses to, and protect against, unrelated infections.” It has never been tested if mRNA vaccines also show a similar benefit.

So the study has concluded that children who received the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine showed increased immune response to pathogens unrelated to COVID-19. Meaning that when children take this vaccine, they are less likely to die from other pathogens too! Which sounds pretty awesome.

I read it differently. It sounds to me like it’s saying that it was people “who weren’t able to see well when they were using their prescription lenses.” As in, they have prescription lenses, but their vision is not actually corrected.

Seems to be similar to the California Effect, which I had heard of before (probably due to me being from the US) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_effect

It’s unfortunate that Massdrop became “mechanical keyboard brand Drop.” It was really a great site to find really cool things that people voted on that you couldn’t really get anywhere else at a decent price. It used to have 20+ categories from Ultralite to Cooking to Quilting, now it has 3: Audiophile, Battlestations, and Mechanical Keyboards. What happened?

I am sorry about your reaction to aspartame, that sounds rough.

I think in regards to your final point, though, it’s important to remember the adage: “the dose makes the poison.”[0]

You know what. In retrospect I have no idea why I cared so much and got so aggressive. I apologize for that. Cheers.
