I had a similar experience, but my collaborator had a touch of OCD and just kept micro-editing my original draft, each time replacing exactly one word with a different word that had nearly the same meaning. By the end of the process, my co

Yes, that's right. Thanks for pointing that out. https://www.makeuseof.com/hdcp-vs-hdmi-whats-the-difference/

I don't know, but probably not. It's a legal requirement for HDMI, not a technical one. It's actually not hard to build an HDMI recorder, you just can't legally sell one. But bootleg recorders are easy to find.

It's not impossible, but it has to be a completely separate signal chain that bypasses the PC. (Well, OK, it's theoretically possible to do it other ways, but it would be really hard.)

> An HDMI input would be great. There is a reason that is difficult to do: the licensing terms for HDMI require manufacturers to put DRM in place to make it impossible (or at least not straightforward) to record from an HDMI source. It&

by lisper 2y ago
In some cases it is. Do you think perpetual motion machines are impossible, or is that just a matter of our inability to come up with a sufficiently clever design?

Sorry, my mistake, I was distracted when I wrote that reply. Yes, I did write that, but it's not actually essential to the point I was trying to make, which was: what could the result of measuring anything to an infinite precision pos

by lisper 2y ago
Who said anything about recording? What would the subjective experience of measuring something with infinite precision possibly be like?

by lisper 2y ago
There is an even simpler thought experiment you can do to reach this conclusion: consider what the result of measuring anything to an infinite precision could possibly look like. It would require somehow recording an infinite amount of inf

Now you're moving the goal posts. First, it was "a hypothesis is a statement that can be true or false. That's it." Now it's "a hypothesis is defined by statistics". Get back to me when you've deci
