Because in this case it held the opposite stance to my prompt and explained where I had misunderstood. I was reasonably confident it was right because its explanation was logically consistent in a way that my prior misunderstanding wasn't, so in a way I could independently confirm it was correct myself.

Because some will choose the exposure and decide when to underexpose and push for you, eg fuji DR feature. You choose your intended EV for the image and it chooses whether to underexpose and push based on the dynamic range of the scene.

>You lose almost half your total DR when you shoot JPEG

No because the camera is applying a tone curve that compresses that DR when producing the JPEG. You lose precision, not DR, but if you don't intend to process the image further it doesn't matter much.

>and those are two things you give up[0] shooting JPEG

No you don't? Good in camera JPEGs will utilise push-pull processing, exposing for maximal dynamic range all for you. You don't lose the advantages of the better optics and sensor just because the JPEG is produced in camera.

On the other hand my favourite use of LLMs for study recently is when other information on a topic is not adding up. Sometimes the available information on a topic is all eliding some assumption that means it doesn't seem to make sense and it can be very hard to piece together for yourself what the gap is. LLMs are great at this, you can explain why you think something doesn't add up and it will let you know what you're missing.

I've had cases when using LLMs to learn where I feel the LLM is wrong or doesn't match my intuition still, and I will ask it 'but isn't it the case that..' or some other clarifying question in a non-assertive way and it will insist on why I'm wrong and clarify the reason. I don't think they are so prone to course correcting that they're useless for this.

The non-iPhone pictures are probably also in-camera jpegs so they are also 'opinionated', not RAWs.

>Dyson hand dryers are very fast, but as a result, they fling water everywhere

Isn't that the whole point of them? Instead of imparting enough heat energy to evaporate all of the water on your hands, they just push it off which is much faster and more energy efficient. How would they work better than regular dryers without doing that?

I like this one https://typeonline.uk/speed-test/word

I think this wouldn't work with any iPhone that's on a version of iOS new enough to have the 'feature' where it automatically restarts after a few days without being used?

The article you linked says precisely that Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates are not singular at the event horizon. The event horizon is completely regular: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_singularity#Curv...

You can choose stupid coordinates that introduce a singularity wherever you like, in GM or in classical mechanics just the same. The coordinates have no meaning.

1/sqrt(x) is a vertical asymptote?

Why would the helper binary change that much? A setuid-ish binary should be ultra simple and not constantly changing I'd assume.

I think the above comment stands. The point is, what do they consider maths ability? High school maths has very little to do with programming but university-level maths certainly feels very similar to it in structure. Many of my (good) classmates in my maths degree were very bad at things like mental arithmetic. So maybe "maths ability" (defined some way) isn't very important for being good at "maths" (proper).

When I was gaming on Linux, every game with a native version worked better using the Windows version in proton. I think the only exception was Factorio.

Yes but the preview has 'realistic FOV' selected not 'full'. And the rotating black hole does have the same shadow as your image if you turn the rotation speed up.

So you use it to get links back to the internet. I expect the non-garbage links part won't last long, in the AI age.

But..GP was talking about old copper pans from estate sales that have lost their tin (not steel) coating.

I do a lot of zoom meetings with people with lots of different mics including mac ones and various business headsets and laptops and yes, Airpod mics are pretty much the worst of the bunch.

>I do not care if you take out redundant bits, you are still taking them out.

Why does it matter? Why does that make Apple deceptive? Lossless compression is as good as no compression, the only difference is the decompression time.

You could store the uncompressed RAW file on a filesystem with built in (lossless) compression, or you could store the losslessly compressed RAW file on a filesystem with no compression. Once you have opened the image in your editor or photo viewer, the bits in that application's memory that you are editing or viewing are identical.

Moreover RAW does not mean 'uncompressed'. It doesn't even mean losslessly compressed. Often RAWs use lossy compression. Both Canon and Nikon RAWs can.

The protests and counter protests basically happened independently on separate days. I haven't seen any reports of violence or disorder on the days of counter protests.

I think you have misread the situation. The police officer is noting that the instigators of the far right protest violence are probably motivated by simply wanting to cause chaos. That doesn't imply people who instigated or attended the peaceful counterprotests did. Indeed they seemed more motivated by wanting to prevent more chaos and violence.

You could say it's revealing something about the physics used as input to the simulation.

I don't think WinMerge supports proper 3 way merge..

If box plots require an formal and accredited statistics course to understand, but as you mention they are taught to 15 year olds (presumably incorrectly) in school and used by people with power making decisions that affect everyone in organisations such as the UN and NASA, then even if the author is unqualified it seems their point is 'accidentally' correct. No one should be using these plots except extremely smart and trained people who do know how to read them, as it could have serious negative consequences.

If only the DOJ had thought of your idea before they launched the huge antitrust case against Apple! They might have saved themselves so much time!

So then rephrase their point to "it's trying to stop you using <this way to pay for> the service"

But how do you buy the ticket and is it less annoying than an almost instant tap on a ticket gate?

Maybe, but the comment by "Malisk" under the linked neowin article seems like a more straightforward technical explanation that doesn't necessarily imply any such intent (I can't say anything about how accurate that comment is).

Why would that cause shell replacements to die, wouldn't they just need rewriting in part?

How does that interpretation make sense given the other items on that list of apps? It seems more like the motivation is to prevent Startallback breaking than to discourage its use.

foobar2k works really well in wine. Alternatively deadbeef is quite similar to foobar but without the media library functionality.
