There has been regime change. The old supreme leader was killed. The new one was thought to be too extreme by the old one, but that was before his mother, father, wife, child and a bunch of other family members were killed by the US and Israel. Much the same experience as a bunch of other young Iranians who might have been leaning towards the whole US = the great satan thing being a bit of hypoerbole.
My gaming PC is on the opposite end of the house, so not only would I have to run a 50' HDMI cable, I'd need a 50' USB cable for my controller, since it can't pair over BT through the multiple walls between the couch and the PC. Believe me, I've tried
Ever thought about moving the gaming PC?
But seriously, there are cheap wireless KVM solutions for 1080p, and slightly less cheap 4K HDMI wireless extenders. I haven't seen any 4K + USB, but they probably exist. But I'd imagine anything wireless is going to be artifacty.
If you can run a single Ethernet cable in a crawlspace or attic, you can get a KVM extender for $153, and that presumably would be a clean, near-zero-latency HDMI and USB repeater (because it's probably just a bunch of level shifters).
They got rid of Steam Link for my Samsung TV, but release it for a device so few people own. WTF Valve?
Why would you use Steam Link for a TV and waste precious network bandwidth and suffer compression artifacts and lag just to avoid running an HDMI cable? Even if it is in different rooms, $90 plus a point-to-point Cat5 cable will solve the problem permanently without all the hassles associated with using software workarounds.
Steam Link makes perfect sense when you're talking about headsets that are mobile, but streaming to a fixed device like a TV set sounds like a niche use case that would be better served with dedicated hardware.
AI is typically more efficient than the old hand-coded algorithms.
The reason you want to do this in space is that you want it to be autonomous. What might you want an autonomous satellite to do?
The data rate is likely to be the limiting factor
No, it's going to be the amount of processing power you've got. In the future you could put more up there but that has problems. You could also put more lasers on the satellite and have more bandwidth.
What you can't do is make light go faster. On-satellite analysis could be critical if you wanted to run a fairly simple algorithm on a fairly limited amount of data and detect a fairly obvious feature very quickly, and do something automated with that information right away in orbit, or at least on that side of the planet. Like detecting blooms on thermal imaging. For example.
There is no "oh, natural disasters and stuff" application where it's not more efficient to return the images to the surface. There also aren't any such applications where you wouldn't want to have the images available to view.
The problem with Reagan's Star Wars: no droids.
Uh huh.
Computers were more expensive in the past. Particularly 40 years ago.
Yeah, I didn't include the Air because it's kind of dual use. There are enough examples of machines specifically targeted at home users it wasn't necessary to give the trolls more room for pedantry.
I was actually there when Jobs announced the Macbook Air. Apple was very much talking up how great it was for business users and people who travel a lot, and BTW probably a good choice for students too. Not like e.g. the clamshell iMac. It only recently got a real colour choice too, and only barely.
What makes you think China wants to project power?
Maybe not the best examples. Genghis Khan did not conquer Persia. He got partway through then got distracted by China, where he died. The Mongol conquest took generations, spread the empire thin, and it broke up to civil war and internal resistance twenty or so years later.
Alexander did conquer Persia, then died about five years later. His empire broke up in civil war immediately.
iMac, iBook, white Macbook, eMac. The Classic and LC were aimed at the lower end too.
The last 15 years when Apple hasn't had a real mass consumer machine except for the mac mini have been kind of an exception. I guess that's also how long your memory works for.
It would be interesting to compare the AI summary accuracy to
1) Hitting "I feel lucky"
2) A selection of average humans given no-AI Google search
3) A selection of average humans given AI+Google search
4) A selection of average humans
Is it just me or are these three platforms the arena of bad decision making in startup businesses? When somebody tries to lure me off of social media into one of these three platforms, alarm bells start ringing in my mind. If you're leading your business with communications on Signal or Whatsapp, just know that I for one will not be taking your business seriously.
