> Dithering can reduce file size Yeah, if you're using lossless compression like PNG or GIF, adding a lossy step to reduce the number of colors in the palette can help. If you're compressing photos, you should use JPEG or WebP.

I asked it to remove "honest" from a draft once. "Why say honest? We're talking to our coworkers. We would always be honest." I'm going to look for prompts or skills that can train it in technical writing but I

I swear John Carmack said somewhere "Time should be a double that starts from 1 billion" or something, for games or VR or something. Of course when I search on DDG I only get "wow the fast inverse square root"

Then the repugnant conclusion is not that gaming is dead, but that games are made primarily for teenaged boys and most of us have aged out of the target audience, so games simply aren't made for us anymore.

Oh like in path tracing.

It might enable security but I wouldn't say it _ensures_ it. It just means that visible or IR light (What are they using?) won't leak through walls the way Wi-Fi does. Depending on how wide the beam is and exactly how it all works

I agree, seitan is a lot more like meat. I prefer less-realistic replacements so even though I've enjoyed seitan I actually quit buying it. It's too convincing.

I don't consider it an OS if it needs an OS to run. Something like a "Ship can carry a boat, boat can't carry a ship" rule.

Yeah. And that's why TV stores really like slow-motion shots or static landscapes to show off the TV. Any motion will cause "HDTV blur" as the encoder struggles to describe complex motion with the limited number of bits it&#x

For a couple years I've wanted to write a subtractive synth from scratch in software. But I _cannot_ find any source that explains how to write a low-pass filter, in code, without assuming tons of knowledge about calculus and these odd

Well, yes. I suppose one could enable caching in Nginx or some other reverse proxy but Mastodon itself is just the app, there'd be no point for it to implement caching or a CDN when the admin can hook that on in front.

It bugs me cause it's kinda true but kinda misleading, I don't know if casual web users realize it's a whole different domain. Sometimes it's not important, sometimes it is.
