HN is public forum (one of the last), it's a bit different thing

Encoding speed even on Mac Studio is atrocious, it’s in range of single frames per second as opposed to realtime+ for even h265

It’s like asking how did Memoji generation on iPhone solved a real problem?

It does not need to directly solve any particular problem to be overall good for consumers, by putting pressure to all those subscription based solutions… at least it’s private and does not require you to provide all your data…

just use military budget for that, it will be 7% instead of 70%

Too late now. Multiple people having anything to say when choosing hardware and software, including me, will no longer advise or approve buying windows machine or using windows in general.

Because it is just cheap damage control. They somehow remembered only now about things that should be there since the very beginning.

This is just cheap damage control, just wait and see if they actually do all of those things correctly. Slow file explorer was an issue since very beginning of windows 11 and they "fix" it only now? But they took time to add copilot to snippet tool?

which is nothing in comparison to leaking all of personal information

you can also introduce some jitter like changing age range only once a week/month/year for everyone

Reason is a bit different - print version was built in adblocker so they got rid of it…

But it only shows how wasteful your new bridge is. Concrete being cheaper does not mean you somehow need to use more of it.

H265 is different codec, and exactly because of that license fee both VP9 and AV1 exist. Apple was hiding VP9 support for long time now and AV1 support is now official.

MP4 is container, not format, so if you have unsupported format packed into MP4 container it won’t be played. Example is trying to play AV1 video codec on devices with M2 chip or older. It won’t play. But it will play on devices with M3 chip and newer. Easiest solution is to use other player so that you can watch any MP4 file but with software decoding where hardware decoding is not available. Examples of such players are MPV or VLC.

As always „it depends”

- info - when this was expected and system/process is prepared for that (like automatic retry, fallback to local copy, offline mode, event driven with persistent queue etc) - warning - when system/process was able to continue but in degraded manner, maybe leaving decision to retry to user or other part of system, or maybe just relying on someone checking logs for unexpected events, this of course depends if that external system is required for some action or in some way optional - error - when system/process is not able to continue and particular action has been stopped immediately, this includes situation where retry mechanism is not implemented for step required for completion of particular action - fatal - you need to restart something, either manually or by external watchdog, you don’t expect this kind of logs for simple 5xx

And is in even worse state than switch 1 version was… that’s achievement in itself I guess…

It’s like one computer with program (DNA) and helper programs (RNA) creates second generation of computer and programs (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) that essentially create their own version of computer system in which they govern things like enzymes, hormones etc

But keep in mind that humans are not created in vacuum. After those two levels of computer create third level that is brain, actual programming of brain is done by other living humans.

So actual „humanity” is what persists in living population and would reset when population is culled and newborn must live and learn on their own.

Even if such newborn would live long enough to have access to things like books, computers, even sound and video records… those would be completely useless to them because they won’t even know language and skills required to use those.

There is no issue with creating new graphics and sounds from the scratch, OpenTTD did exactly that for Transport Tycoon Deluxe. It’s not identical but is enough to convey original intent and be freely available.

But none of those is as simple and elegant as markdown. You can write html in text editor like in ages past, but what would be the point of doing that.

It was always THE main feature, that you can have something from both worlds in a win-win scenario. I don’t understand why someone would invent new html instead of appreciating markdown for it’s elegant simplicity

I remember when default branch was simply `trunk`, but maybe that was in SVN not git… trunk goes well with branches, maybe git should stick (heh) to it

There was a guy who was able to recognize music just by looking at grooves of vinyl recording https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Lintgen

Yes they are, what was conspiracy theory for years turned out to be true

And if someone is not, then they have material for blackmail

For months now word „zionist” is officially banned on Facebook and hasbara bots are ready to tell you that you are antisemite

You just described worst case scenario

You are expecting too much, we still have no technology to do that, unless it’s about clarity of advertisement jingles /s

It’s other way around, issue exists because of subscriptions and everyone rushing to subscription bandwagon

jpeg xl is fantastic, yet autocratic google wants to force inferior format

Scientific American

gdpr does mandate any technical solution

technical solutions are chosen by companies to have as much dark patterns as possible to force you to consent

companies that want to sell user data are bad guys trying to make gdpr look bad

we had it already, it was "do not track" header, whole ads industry worked very hard so in the end it went nowhere...

arduino was supposed to be learning opportunity and training grounds for people who wanted to work in the field in the future, there was small arduino boards (similar to pi pico) for integration with actual projects, but still arduino was for hobbyists and students in the first place
