Sony is big and gaining more traction by the day. RED is very popular, Personally I know an equal number of filmmakers with RED and Sony. Arri is the premium brand. Canon is almost exclusively used in documentary these days, they had their moment with the 5DMK2 years about but squandered it. Sad really.

You don't want AI music recommendations? Great, don't use it. Go speak to people. Many find discovery algorithms useful.

Want some custom art? Pay an artist. You can do this once a week at most before you're broke?

It's not a replacement for search? Google search was gamed by spammy websites and shitty people for years before AI.

It's idealistic. It's an easy opinion to have. You're not solving any problems.

AI has it's place and it's not meaningful art, a replacement for genuine human interaction or going to solve all of our problems. But it turns out at a REALLY GREAT autocomplete is a powerful tool. That's good enough.

It's not a 3D model that is animated using a skeleton and keyframes like traditional 3D. It's many consecutive 3D models that create the illusion of continuous motion (aka video).

4D is the name that has come to describe the jump from static 3D models (photogrammetry) to 3D "video" models.

What was the hottest year? What was the year with the most broken records? What is the overall trend? It actually told me what the hottest day on record was, but there is so much to read I completely glazed over and missed it the first time.

It's a bit of a chicken an egg problem.

Unrelated question here - how are people actually consuming mailing lists like this? I always find these links difficult to read and have always assumed there much be some superior format, alternative typefaces for one.

Shouldn't inflation be taken into account here? A speed increase is still apparent, but at a slower rate overall.

Pros: maintain control of the brand perception, market to their target demographic with simple messaging, everyone in the inevitable echo chamber is satisfied (including employees).

Cons: Some people are mad and move to create an opposing "rival" network. (which is likely to happen anyways)

This logic can be applied to other major social media networks, the surviving ones anyway.

Edit - Texas can only access a tiny fraction of energy reserves due to weak connections to the East and West Grid. Imagine those connections were stronger or direct. I'm sure neighboring states will suffer too. I'm applying general knowledge of distributed systems, I'm not going to act like I know the specifics of the US power grid. If you go it alone, in any system, there are consequences.

The really impressive part was that the mac mini did NOT spin up the fan during playback, completely silent. The i7 Macbook Pro sounded like a jet turbine spinning up within 30 seconds. Awesome.

It will be better for all developers if the gatekeepers lower their rates, but epic really doesn't strike me as a white knight here.

Can anyone shed light on if this is a widespread issue, or is this an edge case? This article reads like a rant.

Not too long ago, you discovered out your vehicle was dead because it wouldn't start. It would flash a light if you were lucky.

This time, there was no offer of a loaner or any kind of temporary transportation

That sucks, maybe the only notable comment in the entire article.

I did a side-by-side comparison of the old UI and the new UI and I've changed my stance. The old one is a better "email" UI, but google is trying to mature the email experience.

A big problem here is that email showing it's age. Google is eager to hide less common tools behind menus. They want to delete all of the old "manual" buttons/tools so their smart filters can take over. It wont work. The truth is everyone likes email because it's fairly consistent, but we're forever trapped in 90's tech.

Instant messengers have transformed the way that we communicate, but email hasn't caught up. Maybe... it shouldn't.
