Platform of the year is the PS2 objectively till someone takes the crown.

Tnough it may literally happen with the Switch, just need to sell another 25M units.

Counteract means to oppose something to reduce its effect. Contradict means to say or do something opposite or inconsistent with something else.

macaroni1556,

Perfect, I can now use any word thats not mutually exclusive completely dependently (interchangeably) and be appreciated (understood)

macaroni1556,

Nvidia claims you need an RTX 40xx card for “frame generation”, but this does it with an RTX 20xx and 30xx card.

And I understand the reason for that is still driver level checks that can’t currently be worked around, not an actual limitation of other chips.

macaroni1556,

Crazy thing is it’s just the advertising channel for a local moto gear retailer but man ryanf9 and the crew put their souls into it.

macaroni1556,

You just described one of the famous Catalan tapas Pan Con Tomate (maybe minus the cheese)

The G in GTK literally comes from GIMP

macaroni1556,

What do you mean “not anymore”? You can’t rewrite history… The G in GTK comes from GIMP. It was formerly called GIMP ToolKit.

I was replying to the comment thread suggesting they should switch to Qt.

macaroni1556,

It’s just skin tone, with the right lighting and color grading we all just look like people

macaroni1556,

Not really

macaroni1556,

Yup where it’s going is “the doctor will see you in six weeks but for $300 he can see you now”.

macaroni1556,

Problem is the low downforce won’t put enough energy to the tires so they’ll still struggle with getting temperature. It will peak under cornering and maybe just grain up as the surface grinds away.

macaroni1556,

Don’t you know everyone from outside the US is poor!

macaroni1556,

Aren’t these models trained and evaluated on making pictures of humans that look real? And ones that don’t look real are penalized.

So this seems to mean the training method is successful.

Nobody wants an AI that makes unbelievable pictures of humans…

We have carefully studied the floor and concluded that yes it is made of floor.

macaroni1556,

Just because I’m a car history guy, I think you have some broken information about Opel.

The company predated Nazi Germany by a long shot as a general equipment manufacturer in the 1800s and was one of the biggest auto producers in the 1920s holding over 25% of the market. They were actually bought by General Motors (not Ford) in 1929.

Where you did get it right is the famous Brandenburg factory was funded partly by the Nazi government and to specifically make the Opel Blitz trucks. Which were at the time just a general work truck in high demand. But soon after GM lost control and the plant was used to exclusively make military trucks for the war. But this is the same for any factory at the time.

A lot of this can be explained by the US political attitude to Germany where they kept up positive diplomatic relationships up until the attacks in the Pacific. The large companies like GM didn’t have a direct reason to divest from their ties to Nazi regime, as they weren’t really denounced themselves and still an important trading partner. Their investors would have had protests on a change of course. For GM, Opel was a huge success at the time.

Of course cutting ties and divesting would have been the moral thing to do, but capitalism has no morals… Apple doesn’t mind making products in China today but sanctions on tech are already changing the course for companies like Nvidia, not without lots of protest by their leaders.

Also yes Henry Ford was idolized by Hitler and Ford didn’t mind that one bit.

Grieving daughter says father might still be alive if Air Canada had diverted long-haul flight (www.cbc.ca)

Flight AC051 had left Delhi shortly after midnight local time. When Pant’s symptoms started seven hours later, it was over Europe. Pande says she pleaded with the cabin crew to divert the plane and land in order to get her father to a hospital....

macaroni1556,

There are the mandated penalties for late arrivals. Diverting could result in a 24h delay for ~250 passengers which could mean a 250k fine

Except despite all the BS reasons AC says flights are outside of their control, this one is definitely outside their control.

So that doesn’t hold.I wonder what their decision was based on.

macaroni1556,

So it’s proposing we burn traces on single-use paper to solve climate change.

RFID tags as a security device are important and they can last as long as keys.

As a business card we can just stop doing it. Solved!

macaroni1556,

My point here is burning paper on a mass scale instead of using wires or an IC is not a solution, not even a little bit like biodegradable food containers.

Its solving a problem that isn’t really a problem!

I’m not sure how much of this is the actual project, or the author of the article, as there are all kinds of odd claims in there.

macaroni1556,

Air Canada hasn’t always been this bad but in the last few years I’m currently embarrassed they are our national flag carrier.

macaroni1556,

I used to fly them a lot and for international travel and I thought they were passable. Comparable to other options.

The domestic stuff was sometimes served a lot better by WestJet but even they were quite scrappy. Domestic is hard, European carriers do that a lot better.

But post-pandemic even their international stuff is an embarrassment. And among my colleagues (worldwide team) they’ve noticed too!

macaroni1556,

You need to know your place. You are still bottom class, we are just letting you survive.

macaroni1556,

It’s a common misconception, in most countries the time off you get is a right but not when you get it.

If your boss wants you to take specific days off you must oblige. If they say spread your vacation out over the next 10 Tuesdays that’s the end of it.

macaroni1556,

But I’m saying it’s not a freindly notice, it is a request and it can be denied and dictated at any time.

Most companies aren’t idiots about it, and I would quit on the spot if my company denied my time off at the last minute, but you don’t know their situation. That’s why we need rights!

macaroni1556,

I see, so the situation is simple. All you need is a good job. Man, why didn’t I think of that.

Why don’t all these people living on the street go home?

macaroni1556,

How do I boycott the NSA? Especially as a non citizen!

macaroni1556,

I don’t think so. There even was an operating one in Saskatchewan Canada, but all it did was send the CO2 through a pipe across the US border for more oil extraction.

So… worse than doing nothing. 👌

Its not currently operating because even that was too expensive to justify.

macaroni1556,

Same for women based on having children.

This may be a controversial take but some people suffer from overwhelming shame from not being able to have children or from having a miscarriage and are afraid to talk about it openly.

It can be traumatic and they deserve support but the whole concept is based on women’s value as only for having children and they’re a failure without it. We need to move past this as a society.

macaroni1556,

I’m not saying its a contest! It’s a shitty contest if it is. And it’s not a exact mirror of course. It’s just all part of the patriarchy and how it controls us.

Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

I’m talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the...

macaroni1556,

Thanka for sharing this. As a non American I honestly assumed the park was there from the beginning, not created (stolen?) so recently.

macaroni1556,

Yeah a hard switch that switches in a dummy load instead of the antennas would be excellent

But it could hit battery life without also turning off the radios

macaroni1556,

Wow if only my local passport office had a website this nice!

Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple (www.theverge.com)

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

macaroni1556,

Except the commenter above is talking about SMS/MMS which is not encrypted and very easy for a government to snoop on via the telecom company. You have no protections.

Amazing, has anything happened like this before with a required pit window?

Pretty interesting that tyre tech clearly hasn’t kept up with the actual cars. They’re even using the 3 hardest compounds already.

macaroni1556,

Usually this is what they say before cancelling it 10 months later

macaroni1556,

What sucks is those components are wrapped together with silicon valley (wannabe) software that’s so rushed and poorly planned (except the monetization!) that minor sensor failures take down the whole system. At least it looks pretty.

A few decades of standards and convergence I hope will result in some extremely reliable cars and lots of aftermarket parts.

macaroni1556,

Are you asking in good faith? It doesn’t seem like it.

Thr article and the ones linked about the warrant lay it all out.

macaroni1556,

What an interesting concept - building a tool which isn’t even open source to the developer. First time I’ve seen it!

macaroni1556,

REMOVED H264??!

well then

macaroni1556,

Where did you get your $300/acre/yr figure?

Maybe if you rented 1000 acres.

Unless you’re suggesting we collectivise agriculture, then sure.

macaroni1556, (edited )

Can you forward me some info on this?

Contrary to what you may think, I’m down to work my own single acre. Seems like a good way. I already live in rural Canada.

Land prices are much higher than you indicate around here.

For example, the smallest and cheapest plot I can find for rent is 60 acres. It’s $40 per and also very difficult to access with no water supply either, hence the low price. So, 2.4k minimum. If I organized a community then we could get something done and we for sure aren’t growing fruits and vegetables. But that’s not what you are describing.

macaroni1556,

If you’re using home assistant just go directly to controlling the bulbs over Zigbee/ZHA and drop the hue hub entirely!

Works great for me, mind you my bulbs are 5+years old.

macaroni1556,

Myself commuted with a 95 Saturn SL for years out of a farm in rural Canada. People used crappy small cars for decades and still got where they need to, and today even the most basic car with basic snow tyres is extremely capable.

Needing AWD for the suburbs is a marketing myth the car sales racket wants you to believe.

macaroni1556,

And what does that have to do with the risk of a screen repair?

I can also install a key logger on Linux and I can also freely change the SSD to anything I buy on the internet.

And yet somehow people still use computers!? Madness.

macaroni1556,

Ok, agreed we are on the same page! My misunderstanding.

(I thought you were defending the idea a keylogger is a risk not worth taking with a screen replacement, somehow.)

macaroni1556,

I feel their point (and my opinion too) is that the diversity of content on reddit makes the political conversations a lot less front-and-centre.
