I've been wondering how much they automate that kind of search. Does the team of seconds now have some programmers taking Stockfish and altering it to search for lines where you always have multiple options but your opponent is on a ti

It depends on what you value. For us it was image size, low noise and good color to get a great cinema experience at night. We couldn't get the same at any reasonable TV price and we also hid it really well so that when it's not o

4K dumb projectors are easy to find. They're not for every room but can give you a great home cinema result while still working for normal TV and games.

Device restrictions are even worse than there being too many services. Netflix is still limited to 720p even when used with Chrome on Windows. When running Linux there's no option to get even 1080p let alone 4K. These companies build t

The simplest form is just to pack 10 or 12 bit values. There's all kinds of variations of that: https://github.com/pedrocr/rawloader/blob/a59bb78d156277781a... There are a few formats that use a curve an

These kinds of formats have been somewhat explored by camera makers for their raw formats. Since the computing resources in the cameras can be quite limited there are a few formats that try to occupy this space of simplicity with still some

Shouldn't be all that much. The total cars on road-trips, where this charging is used, is the same. Individual charges become bigger spikes but the total load of all those road-trips stays the same. For the cases where the total power

I would have worried about that much more 5 years ago. Now the best CPU+GPU option for Linux is arguably already AMD. The performance is better and AMD open-source drivers have improved quite a bit. Even the closed-source Nvidia drivers are

An electric drivetrain should have more of all of that. The motors can last much longer and the only part that degrades is the battery that's on a steeply descending cost curve. Toyota could make an EV truck that lasts forever mechanic

How has Moore's law slowed down? All the data I've seen says it's right on track and projected to continue too. Do you mean a coloquial version of it that's about performance?

As far as I can tell so far no one has used the individual cell cylinders as load bearing components, only the battery box. Tesla's "structural battery" is aiming to do that and have the individual cell cylinders carry loads.

There are probably sites doing this maliciously but the cases I've seen are weird things like only some subreddits and even then not always. I suspect there's a bug somewhere in a commonly used web framework or in Firefox mobile i

Could you explain why not? Naively, having a much more dense process should allow automatic conversion. Going from 90nm to 16nm is 10x the density, that's a lot of margin for an automatic tool to use. Why doesn't that work?

It would be much easier and less bureaucratic to just make it free and adjust taxes for residents and overnight fees for turists accordingly. Just the savings on all the ticketing and compliance systems and staff should be significant.
228.
by pedrocr 5y ago
This is already done today. A lot of touristy cities already charge a daily fee per night you stay there. Hotels bill you for it so compliance is complete too. Between that and taxes for residents there's really no point to charging se

The AI taxonomy includes the term "Expert Systems" for these kinds of things. On the one hand it's definitely not of the new wave of ML AI so hyping those things as innovative is off. On the other hand we should definitely gi

A simpler solution to all these ticketing systems is just to make public transport free. We already have taxes at all geography levels if we want it to be paid by a given city or region. People that don't use it benefit from it anyway

That is how modern cable TV works though. With the now fairly standard IPTV boxes the linear programming can be rewatched straight from the on screen guide and there is a "start from beginning" button on live shows.

Roundtrip tests are great when you don't have a gold standard. It allows for at least consistency across operations. I've done a bunch and found quite a few corner cases. I also did a few roundtrip tests in RGB spaces where being

Do you have a source on it being such a large amount of money? My impression is that just like water rights we've priced the externality so low that a lot of things weren't done even though they were cheap. Here's a 2007 anal
