if they fire everyone and stop spending money, only making money, their PnL ratio will be infinite!

I've always wondered why they use belts when it seems helical gears would offer much more stable playback and better longevity. Is it just cost?

It's almost certainly how all the button elements on your phone and computer currently work... Keyboard, homescreen, hamburger menus, links, you name it.

I wish I could click the picture to pop out scale to full 1x

Good Lord what is happening in there?

These screenshots look awesome. Definitely checking this one out. Thanks for this!

> what about debouncing

activate button function on touch release instead of touch down?

it's not a consolidation because all those computers are still in office parks and the like. This is new usage, and it consumes exponentially more resources than all of the previous usage.

btw what happened to coasters? 90's and 2000's those things were on every surface you would reasonably expect to set a drink down. Now I never see them!

Yeah but you won't so it's not a big problem

We can't orchestrate our society around what someone "could" do

You could kill me with a rock easier than you could kill me with a drone

B+

ok

mp3 is near lossless

the bull case for industrial AI looks a lot like turning the whole planet into paperclips

it's gonna be so easy for them lol

> theres a big difference between 99% quality and 30%.

sure

> if you treat it in a binary way where everything short of 100 falls into one "lossy" bucket you lose all the practical differences that make one encoding much better than another.

no; lossless is an inherently binary term. and I don't lose all the practical differences of better lossy encoders by understanding that; I'm not just going to start using mp3 96k because I have an understanding of lossless vs lossy encoders...

Lossless is an objectively binary term.

Euthanasia is great. Bezo is against it because he profits immeasurably on deep human suffering.

Actually, all of those things are considered "lossy".

there is no such thing as "near lossless"

Last time I used ffmpeg to encode songs for my iPod nano they were broken; playback was interrupted by pops and clicks every few seconds. I wonder if this is fixed now?

steam games don't have discs either

the real problem here isn't lack of plastic circles

why does this website need an app?

Mice are having a great year

yah but then you get dropped frames and intermittent audio popping and when the game glitches or even crashes where it would do the same on real hardware, you're left wondering if it's the emulator that's fucked up. I don't wanna have to think about any of that during my leisure hours. The game owes me a good time.

people go through so much trouble buying expensive converters, scalers, etc. to make their old games look good on their new tv when there's plenty of old CRTs at thrift stores for maybe like 50 bucks for an excellent one with all the fancy hookups like component and everything, I don't get it. I understand CRTs aren't gonna be around forever so we should in fact be working towards future proofing but, they are around now. You can even find small ones if transportation or space is an issue.

Any part of the process we hand over goes away forever. This way, society becomes dependent, and M$, OpenAI and Apple see RoI.

Any usage, even minor, is at too great a cost.

> Too much light ... makes us less safe by creating harsh shadows and giving criminals a place to hide.

LMAO

.me is cooler, but...

That all the cool 2-letter TLDs are designated as country codes was an extraordinary mistake that will have unpredictable and devastating consequences long into the future.

> If I dig deep into my own heart, really self-reflect, I find I simply don't possess whatever people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk do.

Apartheid child slaves?

because android has users

> assume good faith

Becoming harder and harder by the day as the internet and society change, with the bots and the growing inequality and all.

> I think stuff like this is much better settled with compensation than legislation.

The only reason we get compensated at all is because of legislation. They'll pay us as little and work us as hard as they're legally and physically able to.
