On the one hand: tax all companies and people to pay for it. I’m all for that. On the other: news is largely produced by private companies. Their ability to reach customers and their financial viability is their problem and their responsibi

I agree, especially given that the media companies that got the money was largely Murdoch’s empire.

Which I don’t agree with. Why should social media companies be forced to carry the news?

The article makes almost no effort to argue, much less prove, that Gen Z is “the most gullible” generation. There are arguments like “Only 16 percent of Gen Zers have strong confidence in the news”. This is meaningless since “news” is so br

No, but their antlers are now white and likely reflect more light in general than uncoated.

Meta models do not, they have use restrictions. At least deepseek does not.

Objectively poorly done study which does not come close to proving what it says it does. Read the commentary on it publish in the same journal, it’s plain English and pretty scathing: www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/a

First of all, all colors are imagined only in our minds. Second, the term imaginary color already exists, and it refers to a specific thing [0], and the colors on the line of purple are not one of them. What you are describing is a non-spec

Meganta isn’t imaginary, it’s just non-spectral.

This is true. I was thinking of things like roads, water mains, sewer pipes, and even homes. Yeah a house that lasts 200 years sounds good in principle, until you think about the kind of material and energy efficiency advances we’ve had in

Part of the shorter lifespan is that our cities grow much faster. Why build infrastructure that last 200 years if it needs to be ripped up in 50 due to no longer meeting population demands?

This is very cool. Give it another few decades and this could be how our next displays work, Snow Crash style. Next experiment idea: simultaneously send different lasers to each cone.

A physical book, no. A digital book, cynically I think yes since you don’t own a copy you own a license to use it.

Not always. Say you have 4 cell phone carriers. 2 clearly on top and 2 far behind. The two weak ones merging would, on paper, take you from 4 companies to 3. In reality you go from 2 options to 3.

Sure, and? My statement stands. And more to the point, for their foveon cameras that produced with both x3f and dng files, the image quality from their dng files are objectively and substantially worse than the x3f files.

by _aavaa_ 2y ago
DNG is easy to adopt so long as your images look like a Bayer image, and you don’t need any special treatment of the raw data. Sigma’s camera’s are notorious for their lack of support in most editors because their Foveon files require extra

Sure, but mostly people doing or using AI art are also not saying they drew every line, they say “I made this” in the same way I say “I coded this” even though I wrote it in a high level language and got the interpreter and compiler to do a
