- a lot of these projects were cancelled though.
imo, that's the worst thing about Netflix. its not that they don't produce good series, its that when they do they have a high peobability of getting cancelled.
- well we don't know exactly how involved Gabe Newell is with the actual running of the company now a days or how do they going about their governance.
From what I see it seems like the culture of the company is shared between the leadership roles so it might be possible for the company to continue doing as it has been doing after Gabe.
I think the people at valve are smart and they understand their business and the company very well and that this issue is being taken seriously too.
Good governance exists, it's just that for most companies there's not really an interest in having that because it gets in the way of personal interests of people that are already entrenched in power.
- The steam machine has a bespoke wireless connector for the (new steam) controller so it doesn't pollute the Bluetooth network and cause lag.
Yes, the controller is charged through usb-c, but you can just use any charger around to charge that. I mean, the battery should last for 30+ hours so you only need to charge it on a weekly or biweekly basis with heavy usage.
- Its a linux computer, if you connect it to a 4k monitor you could use that.
The one issue I see is that it only has one HDMI port, so you couldn't connect two screens without a dongle.
But for all intents and purposes, its a prebuilt pc in a tiny form factor.
- Given that the frame runs steamOS on ARM hardware, I could see something like a phone in the future.
But also, phones don't seem to be the best hardware to play PC games which is kinda the whole deal.
I maybe would see first a smaller ARM based device (like those retro consoles).
- Valve had to make an entire operating system to make this the case for steam games.
A lot of these capabilities would rely on windows, sleeping and resuming the system thats entirely the purview of the OS.
And Microsoft just doesn't care.
- 4tb is not a lot, but I've realised if its for personal use you could just delete things you've already watched.
particularly tv shows, unless you really really want to keep them.
its not necessary to delete movies, IMO, as a 4k HDR 5.1 movie will go for about 30gbs. Not that much.
- its incredible how much easier and convenient pirating ebooks is to buying them.
when you pirate them versus buying them: 1a. searching for them has become incredibly easy 1b. searching for them is easy as well
2a. putting them on multiple devices is incredibly easy 2b. depending on the store, then you're going to be restricted to a particular device or app
3a. ten years from now, you'll have the same copy you bought 3b. in the case of amazon, they might arbitrarily modify the copy you "own"
Setting up a system for tv shows is a bit cumbersome, and of course disk consuming, but with a little bit of knowledge you get an extremely good and reliable system.
- I really hope Apple is working hard on improving on-device models for their use case so they can get out of this.
- i like using computers until they break on me, i've never really felt (for the usage i give my macbook) that it is lacking in power. Even after, what, 5 years?
i think i'll be upgrading in the next 2 or maybe 3 years if apple puts OLED screens on their new machines as it is rumored.
- So we'll probably start seeing other companies do their firing cycles again.
I guess this has just become kind of a feature of our times.
- What's he talking about a "Robot Army" and having influence over it.
I'm sorry to be so old-fashioned but I think armies should be controlled by states, not private individuals.
- I remember doing speed reading courses back when I was young and a big part of it was learning to read a paragraph diagonally.
Its much, much faster. At first there's a loss of understanding of course but once you've practiced enough you will be much faster.
- In a very simple way: because the image can be fed directly into the network without first having to transform the text into a series of tokens as we do now.
But the tweet itself is kinda an answer to the question you're asking.
- I invite you to read a little bit of history.
These sort of hyper exaggerated comments help no one. Not to mention "other parts of Europe" were literally Islamic for hundreds of years.
- Chile has a very good election system and there's basically no machine input in the process.
What's important is being able to segment the population in enough voting places so that each voting place is maneaganle just by a small number of people. The Chilean system is scalable because you can always just add more voting places as the population grows.
Usually these voting places are civic centres, stadiums, schools.
It's a good system and generally for a presidential election we get the results in about 4 hours after voting ends.
- I have an 8 pro.
A month or so ago I went to NYC, I visited some of the museums.
Although I managed to get some great pictures, framing wise and sharpness wise. The color resolution was absolutely ridiculously bad.
I couldn't figure out a way in that moment to fix the issue, but seriously, the colors were so far off it kinda ruined this phone for me.
My friend had an iphone, we took the same pictures of the same paintings and his photos looked much closer to life than mine. Huge disappointment.
In the iphone its very easy to shoot raw and the camera app has a lot of very good intuitive controls. Not to even begin talking about video.
At some point I think Google did make really good photography phones but it seems to me like they've basically stopped trying to stay ahead of the competition whereas apple is always trying to improve. Thats my impression anyway.
- Yes.
But I need a phone, and I'd rather try the original at this point.
I expect the European Union to keep working towards keeping devices more open with time.
- I've been thinking of trying out the iphone for a while now.
The reason I wasn't switching is that I install a lot of open source apps on my android device, for all kinds of things.
This change seems like it might greatly affect the current developer landscape. I've been looking for alternatives on the iphone to the apps I use and in most cases they do exist. I imagine the same will happen with android. Lots of devs are going to register and so on.
However, at that point, what difference will there be between ios and android systems that will meaningfully make me stay in android? I'll try out the iphone and see how I like it. Maybe theres something thats so commonplace right now for me that will become a deal breaker. Sort of doubt it.
Big L, as always google just doing what they do best.
you dont train on your test data because you need to have that to compare if training is improving or not.
