Mount some spikes on the front and carry a megaphone.

And if it were simply just a CSS framework that also happened to work with Wordpress it wouldn't be such a simple case. As much as I hate to side with Automattic here, they should be defending their trademark against this. But since they are the bigger fish and as a show of goodwill to the developer community, they should put up an offer to help pay the costs associated with rebranding. Has to cost less than actually fighting it in court regardless.

Light field storage would not use polygons. It would be representations of photons (groups of photons, actually, because we aren't going to store infinite resolution) with their x, y and z as well as direction of travel.

The reason is that we still need it. The most we are hitting is maybe 120/240Hz and that is usually fake frames, which is too low to be truly realistic. With 24p your mind fills in the details better.

This is why The Hobbit at 48fps looked like a cheap video game, especially in effects shots. Real life would be motion blurred more by the eye, but they only had 48fps to work with so it looked hyperreal instead.

That's the thing - those panning shots were shot badly for 24p in the first place. At least with variable motion smoothing they can flag the sweeping panoramas to use the smoothing and leave it off where it just makes things look wrong.

The frame rate that enabled color television compatible with black and white TVs. It's funny that we didn't flip flop at the digital transition. ATSC broadcast supports true 60fps mode but I don't think anyone switched.

Their app store already runs native on iOS and macOS. The web interface is mostly for browsing on non-Apple devices.

Last time I was there, I remember downtown being fairly walkable but I didn't enjoy driving there. So I assume that's probably still the case. This country hates public transit.

Sort of the unintended consequence of having firmly laid out rules and signage. Everyone feels entitled to a specific outcome without having to resort to cooperation.

Only 14 billion years.

Because if you own capital, its value goes up with inflation. But wages effectively go down with inflation. They are not going to end poverty with inflation, but they certainly won't lose anything. Their property is fungible to other currencies if necessary.

It doesn't publish anything itself. You can't claim libel if it's privately generating text at you.

I'm not surprised that a large language model assumed the premise of the prompt and generated an answer, even if it was fabricated. They are basically designed around that. What surprises me is that Google took it offline rather than respond about her profound misunderstanding of how the things work. The guardrails in any of these systems are generally bad at estimating the truth of their own outputs. Especially as a chat goes on longer and the generation of fiction becomes part of the ongoing context.

Yeah, probably can't work around that without just subbing the word Test for Turing (and the word is already there). The acronym for DVD changed over time too. It's still DVD but went from Video to Versatile.

I don't think it's fair to say that acting alive is a measure of intelligence. Unless you count fine motor skills as a form of humanlike intelligence.

During COVID they decided that copyright didn't matter and knowingly copied copyrighted works too. Once they realized that was a bad idea, they decided that since format shifting was fair use for the individual that they could do it themselves and then lend out the digital copy. Which was a wholly different item than the original physical copy that still existed and the courts weren't buying it.

The word "open" does not apply to this library in the sense of out of copyright, for the most part. These were nearly all in-copyright works that may or may not have been removed from the market.
