Macros, and existing code samples.

You'll have to ask MicroPro not Microsoft. :-)

This echoes my thoughts. We'll see a contraction until everyone realizes that AI was not a silver bullet and that you can't vibe code solutions to novel problems. The eventual lawsuits that arise when GPL code makes its way into closed source applications are going to cause a lot of companies to reevaluate their cost-benefit analysis as well. I'm also assuming that this kills off CS enrollment in other countries faster than it does for the U.S. as there's little reason to outsource anything an AI can do for cheaper. AI is definitely going to kill off a lot of the call center jobs that moved to those countries over the last few decades.

But math has "a steep learning curve"! :ducks:

> film which has comparable resolution to 4K and below

"It's complicated".

Many of the masterpiece films were filmed on 70mm which is about 4x the size of 35mm, plus better emulsion with a tighter grain.

So if we take your 4K number for a normal film and 4x it and double that for scanning we're waiting for 32K to master it digitally.

We're going to need faster storage!

Why ask why you need it?

Ever see a Jumbotron in 1080p? It's ridiculous.

I can totally see a wall-sized screen being useful for many businesses. Walk to one area, read what's there, move to another area to read something else. Analysts, factories, hospitals, military, theme parks, etc.

They already are doing this with walls of a dozen different screens, with that many video cards, cables, power supplies.

Or complex video splitters, muxers/demuxers, etc.

When they scale to 24K there will be customers too.

I'll be happy with low-cost 8K when all that hits the market.

More fundamentally - ALL LAWS need to be enforced.

To do otherwise completely undermines democracy. It amounts to the prosecutors office or 'director of ...' picking winners and losers. Prosecuting people and organizations they don't like while looking the other way for others, and hiding their arbitrary and capricious activity under a false cover of 'discretion' for reasons of resources.

That gives way rapidly to the absolutely heinous situations where officials proudly flaunt their civic duties to effect social policy etc that never faced a public vote.

Right now if these guys decide you or your company is a problem they can crack open the book and find something to get you on. It should not be that way.

Laws should be either enforced or repealed. We ought to even probably explore adding some process where defendants who can provide the government has a historic patter of non-enforcement can get laws over turned on that basis.

It's no conspiracy, the politicians are just that stupid.

Their preferred method of age verification is face scanning ... the biggest privacy invasion by social media to date, by government mandate.

Instead of just offering a government service for age verification based on government issued physical ID with NFC or phone bound ID's, they just throw their hands up in the air and tell the social media companies to figure something out ... oh and they can't demand physical ID either.

Making pigs fly is easier than doing age verification within the rules set by the Australian government.

Trumps not a king, has never tried to be, nor will your constant bedwetting over it make it so.

You guys are hilarious.
Now you can move to NY and enjoy your upcoming Socialist Utopia.

No child under 16 should be exposed to youtube comments.

If you create an exception for youtube, you might as well not bother. A youtube carve out is completely unjustifiable.

"dealer" was the problem there.

I am sure there is some radiator of sufficient size/cooling that would fit. More than likely it would have required some creativity, creating special mounts, doing something possibly odd like stacking two of them, using something from a different OEM. Which would have gone down a little rabbit hole of needing different hoses or using ones that are not molded, fittings to adapt sizes etc.

No way it was really an unsolvable problem. Some shade tree could have done it but dealers don't like things coming back that isnt their model. Anyone who has ever built a custom or maintained a legacy vehicle with limited support knows sometimes you have revisit 'solutions' after you drive a round for a week to get things 'dialed in'

The firmware stuff is/will be different. Right now the modders and tinkers enjoy some advantage in they have known working examples to look at. When you sitting in your garage Sunday afternoon trying to get your 40 year old car to work, first you'll have find stuff that is electrically and mechanically compatible, then after that you'll have to deal with the software (often deliberately designed to prevent you from working on it, even if it is just symbols stripped etc, but more than likely signed, cipher, or obfuscated). Why does not it work, well you'll never figure it out because you won't ever be able to isolate the problem, are the bad, not really compatible, is it software, is anti-tampering controls you are not aware of, ...

For stuff from the early 2000s thru the teens the answer will be simple enough, replace entire systems like engine management and body modules with something after market. The CAN bus signalling to talk to human interfaces can be worked out easily enough. Collectors and purists will have to just 'get over' it not being totally original. The concourse guys that go wanking about replicating the style of zip tie the factory used to secure the wire harness will need to take a Xanax or something.

For newer stuff, I think it is going to have be all 'resto-mods' or they won't survive at all. Because as soon as you replace the ECM or body module, so goes the dash gauges and controls, the all the touch controls, stereo, entry sensors, etc. I am sure for popular models that lasted many years without major chassis changes you'll see whole kits replacing all the dash components, thru the door handles, etc that fit 2025-2028 Tonale or whatever. That will be the only realistic open for the Sunday afternoon in the garage guy who isn't absolutely made of money and wants to keep his "Classic" alive in 2050.

Unless it has CVT the ICE will have to operate at variable load again, I doubt the efficiency is much higher once the ICEs are purpose designed for constant power generation and not repurposed from other uses.

Eventually, but sprinkler system on the bottom of a car which triggers early enough is apparently fast enough to stop the thermal runaway before the battery gets to the point of needing internal cooling. See EV Fire Pro.
