I’ve started to adapt my historic accounting of gaming away from hardware centric (console generations) and toward languages and compilers, and the force-multiplication they provided to developers which is tangibly evident in the products.

I recall seeing a demo of an N64 driving an Oculus Rift.

My trick is to just never power slide when I need to be handicapped to not ruin the kids Christmas. Or tap the accel A button in a PWM pattern.

Your information is indeed out of date.

Same thing happened to Yan LeCun. Real scientists are skeptical. Wall St and the people who serve it don’t like that.

One Apple Mail feature nobody here has commented on was called Piano Mover internally. I don’t know the public marketing name. It lets attachments over 10MB in emails be replaced with iCloud hosted file references.

My Lexus 2025 remains perfect and user friendly. I have all the online connected stuff enabled. Zero enshitification.

I do 8k video editing on a Mac Studio. Files are often multiple TB (raw camera capture which I have to encode to ProRes). Moving this kind of bandwidth is absolutely what I have to do and Apples’ bad networking is a blocker I’ve discovered.

There are still no digital cameras matching the highlight DR of film. And the human eye is a million times better than that.

Digital is not clean. Noise exists whether molecular or voltage on a sensor. The clean you are used to is likely a compression or digital filter result.

I suspect a lot of this is just established convention in production pipelines. You can get a Canon R5C and shoot log, and develop in Resolve for Rec2020 today. Hell, an iPhone pro probably can, and show it with the OLED.

Sensor size. Depth of field is optically different on large frame cell size or sensor size vs 35mm. That camera you reference is not optically equivalent.

Why not. Jeff Dean and John Carmack exist. Both are L10 SWEs.

This is why in your brain you have trillion threads processing and summarizing sensor data (immutable functions), but a SINGLE thread of “execution” which we call the conscious soul.

It was Richard Dawkins dissecting it IIRC in front of a lecture hall where he makes a point that if there were a God designing animals, he wouldn’t have made this insane thing.

Models learn. It just costs $10B and 1 year to do what a human does every night.

C-3PO was neurotic and needed lots of reassurance.

Yes the thing is valuable because of the network and the network is there because of the network. We don’t really rely too much on the navigability of the Hudson River anymore. But being next to it is still the most expensive land in the na

Why not have a passcode that boots in to a second “safe for cops to look at” partition?

I went through a process of “what the fuck is this bullshit” to “ok, yes, that makes sense and can suffice for my multiverse worldview until someone writes a better one” when I read all his foundational essays on the topic.

In the photo space, they’ve already worked out and deployed a chain of crypto attestation from the camera hardware, the image editing suite, and the social media hosting site.

To be fair. That was peak aesthetics. If the only artifacts remaining on earth a million years past our demise were The Parthenon and 2002 keygens, our existence will have been worth it.

Ok. Now two companies with similar board members enter in to an exclusive licensing deal.
