It went much farther - CinemaScope 2.35 to 2.75, or even Polyvision 4.0.

To me, the big wide screen Hollywood titles are 2.35:1.

To me IMAX 70 is cropped on the left and right compared to CinemaScope. Watching an IMAX 70 film in a normal theatre at wide screen aspect ratio crops the film again, so it’s effectively cropped on all four sides.

Lately it’s been getting pretty annoying in the chats when ChatGPT just steals context and history from other chats. I want clean contexts, without pollution from other chats.

She was not doing x, she was doing y, and surprising insight z.

It’s borderline, could just as well be just human text.

…and so many people. There’s not enough green space in Montreal.

The unit should be a Meal. Not just an appetizer, a full meal. (Does it include drink? In US, many places give free tap water, but not others. Is it okay if it’s only lunch, or should it be available for dinner too? What about tipping?)

It's kind of funny. I was looking at the top of the page thinking 1.5T investment for so far 770B revenue isn't bad at all, that could break even after some time. But then you look the listed companies, there costs vs revenue.

Turns out 516B of the revenues are from Nvidia, which is not an AI company, but just selling shovels. Nvidias revenues are effectively costs to actual AI companies.

Given the 168MHz ARM, the real innovation here is the way stable dithering and a cell shading look was used to make the graphics good looking. Very well done!

Escalators. The distances between the levels are exaggerated, to make it easier to see what's going on.

It has App Store though - doesn’t it mean you can install whatever App and just doom scroll away?

It’s basically imaging one exoplanet per satellite. Would be good to figure out a way to slow down at 500 AU. In order to maximize the time for observation.

Why would it be necessary for life to depend on breathing atmosphere? The atmosphere could just help in keeping the temperature even and provide some nice pressure, maybe that’s favorable over vacuum.

I thought the trademark is to prevent costumers from accidentally buying “open AI” from some company other than openAI, while thinking they’re buying from openAI.

For 300 tests, it seems reasonable to report with some more precision on the median.

It also turns the joke into a single-entendre, which is no fun at all.

What I wonder is what LARP stands for. something like “looped/linked annual revenue platform”? (Don’t answer with something about role playing, it’s definitely not that)

Kinda wanna know why I should learn this language. Unfortunately there’s no wiki entry (deleted with some controversy abut notability), so it’s hard to get the gist of it.

The worst part isn’t the physical decay. It’s the bleak darkness of the characters.

Can you use a pole.

Dropbox has been around for a while (cue that old hacker news comment)

I thought that’s what they say about Berlin

Now do cars!

Every car that doesn't use any subsidies. Every car that's lifecyle CO2-neutral. Etc.

Hey wait a minute, there isn't any train on any of these maps!

Opus also does everything in “48KHz”. But apparently doing some upsampling will implode the whole signal… more so than the compression itself… which indeed is actually processing and storing data in the frequency domain (MDCT).

It's not cynical. It's dismissive. Especially given that these codecs work in the frequency domain anyway.

>>...use 48Khz if you want the best quality.

>Yet most of the worlds audio is 44KHz...

The table and comparison uses “Google's new Zimtohrli, ViSQOL, and my own hearing”

This is truly a representative of the old internet: somebody codes up the best AAC encoder ever, and the first response comes from some admin, and it's some bickering about 48Khz vs 44Khz.

Doesnt it run on the Macbook Neo... just slower?

It's a bit low on RAM, otherwise it's similar to a game boy advance. Maybe after the GBA, GBA SP, and GBA micro, it's time for a GBA.. nano?

> Optimizing testing for speed is goofy

That's a strawman. I said bottlenecking testing by requiring hand writing is stupid. Put another way - you're meant to be using the test to be thinking and re-thinking the problem and articulating approaches and solutions, not use your time, effort and energy on managing quill and paper.
