I think a lot of those credits are for input from Visual effects companies and their input has grown massively.

Someone with a little training and practice can get lots of information out of these kind of "blurry" images. You can make educated guesses based on understanding of the real world. Imagine you are looking for swimming pools to f

It is perfectly possible that the interpolated image is a better statistical fit to reality than the source image. This is more intuitive with height data. For example a 100m grid could have a 10m cell right beside a 20m cell. A point on

Those cost differences are striking. An adversary could launch thousands very cheaply. I wonder how militaries would react to so many potential targets.

My guess is that it is safer to just return stolen bikes if caught by the owner and avoid police interest.

The mammalian genes survive regardless. The gene for having a neocortex survives in both lions and antelope. And that survival may be at the expense of other more distant species.

That implies that there is a minimum set of relatedness that is required for alturism to improve survival. That is just not true. And it is not just about direct relatedness but shared genes.

ESRI have similar network effect to Microsoft. No individual product is that great but taken together it is very competitive. And ArcGIS online is developing that network effect in a similar way to Office 365. Also, the GIS space tends to

The huge amounts of money are just an opportunity. Use it as the basis for a monetary system! 10 Getty dollars is an IOU for a share of the potential stable diffusion damages.

It feels like artificial scarcity similar to what you see in high fixed cost monopolies. And that is exactly what most corporate IT departments are.

I wonder how easy it would actually be to shoot down. Are rockets actually designed to track something like this? And do they have planes that can fly that high and shoot something so slow. Also, the negative effects of a failed attempt to

The problem of chaotic vehicle interactions exist irrespective of self driving cars. What stops progress is the glacial pace of legacy car companies and the libertarian nature of car culture.

You are right, transmission from animals is really difficult. But that also explains why those transferred diseases can be so dangerous. We don't have existing immunity because humans don't hang out in bat caves. And the threat

On your point about modernity. I think the main risk factor is actually close proximity to animals and poor hygiene around them. That is what allows the rare event of a jump between species to happen. A modern society could reduce this r

Surely the correct qualification for that kind of research would be some kind of science background.

I guess part of the raison d'etre in larger companies is precisely to make humans measurable. And that is necessary to make a company manageable by executives. Although I think in some businesses that kind of work is largely perform

I work as a consultant and have to do a timesheet. I use an old app called TimeSnapper that records screen grabs every few seconds. Works brilliantly for timesheets and has saved me numerous times.

But we should be holding driving and coal to a higher standard. And many people are trying to do exactly that. I think an interesting part of this question is consent. People have a reasonable understanding of the road and are implicitly

It doesn't really make any difference to my original point what the cause of delays were. This is not an academic question over which approach is theoretically better. Consenting is just another real world problem that has to be reso

There could bwhate similarity with what aeroplane manufacturers have to do. The Max 8 was declared illegal overnight. And new planes cost tens of billions to develop.

Some risk and complexity is just intrinsic. Flying is risky because of hitting the ground. Nuclear power is risky because of the nature of radioactive material. Mitigating those risks add complexity and cost. You need more redundancy, hi

Some of the refusals may be explained by the increasing size of schemes. That is no excuse, but number of refusals is not the whole story.

Hinkley B has been in development since around 2010 and has not generated any power. Wind and solar are over 25% of generated electricity per year. And most of that capacity was built in the last five years. It is growing very quickly. A

There are a large number of other datasets beyond the big name ones like OSM. There are governments all over the world uploading thousands of layers to thousands of different open data portals. Dozens of satellite operators selling optica

There is also a caveat that any cost savings from locality may be wiped out by higher costs in other areas. It may well be cheaper to invest in the US or Middle East and import as LPG. Transport costs are only one factor. And it is not l

Wind turbines are capital intensive and the entire cost is upfront. Once the turbine is built it makes sense to sell it at whatever the current market rate is. That could be really low or really high. The main purpose of government suppo

Gas prices are a big component of electricity prices at the moment and they are mostly imported.

The National Grid Pressure maps are also interesting. https://gasdata.nationalgrid.com/ The network is used for short term storage to even out supply and demand.

You can send the data through a different medium to improve latency which satellite optical links could help with.

I guess that was when they were mostly coal fired and had rail lines for delivery?
