  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

    Jump

  • Not sure where 1440p would land, but after using one for a while, I was going to upgrade my monitor to 4k but realized I'm not disappointed with my current resolution at all and instead opted for a 1440p ultrawide and haven't regretted it at all.

    My TV is 4k, but I have no intention of even seriously looking at anything 8k.

    Screen specs seem like a mostly solved problem. Would be great if focus could shift to efficiency improvements instead of adding more unnecessary power. Actually, boot time could be way better, too (ie get rid of the smart shit running on a weak processor, emphasis on the first part).

  • AI today isn't much closer to Data than it was in the 90s. What we call AIs are mostly just correlation engines of various sizes and foci. Though some of them are decision trees that more or less enumerate every possible series of decisions it can make (up to a point) to try to predict the most optimal one.

  • Or maybe you get gravel in the same sense that someone could own Jupiter or a star. "You now own all the gravel in that quary!" But it doesn't inform the workers of that fact, or the officials who still rely on whatever paperwork was filled out by the agents of the guy who paid them to ensure the quary belongs to his corporation's corporation. The whole idea of ownership is pretty abstract in the first place.

    Could be that every pill just means that, under the jurisdiction of the entity who made the pills, you are legally allowed to do what the pills claim, though you need to figure out the rest from there, and people from other jurisdictions are able to disagree even if you do figure out the how.

  • I thought you were going to say it was a BBQ sauce spiced with Carolina Reapers. In which case, avoid using heavy amounts in groin area and sleep with goggles on. Maybe even tie your hands up so you don't scratch anywhere in your sleep.

  • There are seizures, but I think those are more akin to BSOD than updates. Though I bet epilepsy would be more fun if you woke up with new skills and capabilities after each seizure.

  • Hell, forget motorbikes, even bicycles would make it hard to justify horse costs. And I bet they are superior for range and speed (average, at least, not so sure about max, and obviously it requires a rider in good enough shape, but I think you'll get there if you ride regularly, assuming no disabilities).

  • From what I recall horses require: Training on how to ride a horse

    Picturing you riding a horse that is riding another horse. Extended range upgrade?

    Though on a serious note, there's also the horse itself and its training (to be ridden and not freak out about things, training it to ride another horse or series of horses optional).

  • Eh, I wouldn't read too much into that angle. The computer and holodeck were pretty much deus ex machinas for Star Trek, written to do as much or as little as the plot required. They could just handwave the computer creating a super intelligent AI because Data requested it, or say the holodeck is capable of simulating bleeding edge warp core innovation (though the crew still had to tweak parameters and often were able to suceed "live" after failing many times guided by the computer because human intuition trumps all).

    Star Trek is more useful for considering philosophical questions than technical ones, even though they did put a lot of effort into making it a hard tech world rather than a soft tech one. But when delving into unknown technology, eventually you need to use some soft tech that just works without any real world explanation. And any AI- or computer-related stuff fell into that "soft tech surrounded by hard tech" category.

  • I've used an industrial paper cutter before and it's one of the most satisfying machines I've ever seen. Just imagine the sound of a blade slicing cleanly through several hundred sheets of paper. The thing had lasers and two buttons you had to press at once to operate it because it wouldn't even care if your hand was in the way.

    But everything was manually aligned by hand. Instead it could be a metal plate holding everything in place (maybe open on the scrap side to account for the width of the blade). I'd think that could give consistent results, but hard to say for sure how everything would move.

    That plant also had die cutting machines that cut each page individually. I was just a temp worker there, so didn't really get that far into the depth of the technology and what it could do. Most of the work I did there was pounding out the scrap parts from die-cut packages, which was also pretty satisfying, we'd use a rubber mallet to do a few hundred pages at once. Thinking back, I think that was one of my favourite jobs, especially because there were so few fucks to give.

  • That makes sense, thanks.

    Where does the variation come in from page to page in one batch? Or is the variation in the cutting itself?

  • In the installer even!

  • It was kinda funny, when I installed fedora a few months ago, the wired ethernet port wasn't working at first (needed an update, probably because my mobo was pretty new) but the wifi worked right away. Not sure what I would have done if neither of them worked tbh.

  • Though as the printing expert, shouldn't formatting the content for the medium you're putting it on be part of your domain instead of the artist's?

    Like if they want a final product that's 70cm x 120cm with no margin but your printer needs a 5cm margin, shouldn't you just center it on an 80cm x 130cm page (or whatever the smallest page is that has enough margin added) and cut it down to the 70cm x 120cm they wanted?

    Is bleed in this context part of the design that goes past the edge so that part of it can be cut off, leaving no blank margin? Isn't precision up to the point where such a page could be reliably cut right at the edge of the design to accomplish that without bleed? Like scanning cutters so that if the print is offset by 1mm, the cut can also be offset by the same to give consistent results?

    Sorry if this comes off as accusatory, that wasn't my intent, your comment made me curious.

  • Is there a good way to do this when you use a lot of terminal tabs and aren't sure which tab you used for the command you're looking for?

  • I've wondered if it was because the air vibrations that sound is help knock dust loose from the plant, which helps gasses get in and out as well as more light.

    Heavy metal probably has the most vibration going on out of all genres.

  • Anyone here done this?

  • Not to mention it's pretty fucking arrogant (and dumb) to equate something you want someone to do with something they need to do to survive. IMO anyone who thinks like that should be considered too stupid for authority.
