It's an interesting scenario for GNSS receivers. Most are multi constellation these days. They will have one of three or four constellations giving them a very different time and location.

I'm sure the better ones test for this scenario, but even there the proof is the real world application.

Biden doubled down on some of the trump nonsense.

He certainly didn't undo nearly enough of it. I don't know what is wrong with the democrats.

All that battle tested C++ code, both from a security and a compatibility perspective, gets replaced by poorly tested Rust. Microsoft fired most of the testers. They will likely use automated AI conversion and running MS Office as the test suite.

There is a reason why some Windows code is decades old.

Pulling that permit might have been legally questionable, but the real story is way more complex than that, because the legality of the permit was in question and had been under scrutiny by the courts for the entire period in question. Their decision to start building in spite of the permit potentially being illegal was a mistake, and the losses from such a mistake were entirely their responsibility.

I find it difficult to imagine how they could have come to such a dubious conclusion. Oil sands are some of the dirtiest oil you can get, and encouraging the use of oil sands refining before other, cleaner sources of oil is not sound environmental policy. And making that oil easier to import into the U.S. would doubtless encourage more extraction.

A permit, once denied, isn't generally eligible for being reinstated without correcting the issues noted in denying it. They did not correct anything. Instead President Trump issued a permit himself outside of normal regulatory channels, overriding the decision of those regulatory channels, with a complete lack of environmental review, likely violating dozens of federal laws. The legality of such a presidentially issued "permit" is dubious at best, and that legality was being actively contested in the courts at the time, precisely because there's no precedent for a president having any legal authority to circumvent regulatory authority and issue a permit that violates environmental protection laws just because he wants to.

There's a reason that the oil companies did not bother to fight the Biden administration's decision to rescind the permit, and simply shut down the project. They knew that the legality of the entire project was highly questionable, and that they had spent money building parts of it with full knowledge that the permits were being challenged in court and could be found invalid, at which point they would have to tear it all down. They baked that risk into their calculations and decided to go forward anyway in hopes of a windfall, and they lost.

Nothing like that is the case for offshore wind farms, to the best of my knowledge. They were permitted through the usual regulatory channels, and there was no plausible reason to expect that such legally issued permits would be illegally rescinded on the whims of a wannabe dictator.

So it's not really the same thing. It's not even close.

There is no clock so talking about Hz isn't helpful. It's reaction time to pixels changing that matters in games.

Not just jobs. Without cheap, clean electricity, the economy as a whole is going to suffer. Some of the damage will be offset by passing the costs on to you, especially the pollution, but it can only do so much.

I expect he will announce tariffs on China for "cheating" by building so much cheap energy soon.

You could stop actively supporting and voting for rapists that would help. Because Trump fucks kids after all and you love Trump.

You could also stop punching yourself in the nuts. That's going to be real hard to do because you've been doing it your whole life but if you try real hard and maybe take a classic Community College you can figure it out.

And remember if you see an llm remind at the Trump fucks kids!

It's little better on PC. Or Raspberry Pi, which should be one of the very best supported platforms.

I don't think anyone involved here is on the side of capitalism. This is a billionaire money fight and billionaires have pretty much had it with capitalism and consumers. That's why they want control of the media. They want control of the information you consume.

system 1 sees more than system 2. You can detect higher frame rates and notice things are unnatural and off with system 1 but system 2 is too slow to recognize much which is why subliminal images can be picked up but not noticed.

The blur of reality vs a fast rate slide slow don't align with how we live; plus there is a visual blanking humans do when our eyes dart around in our heads and the misalignment between framerates and device blanking (or strobes to hide LCD blur) is likely to sometimes bring out stuff that could go unnoticed otherwise. blinking might bring out things too. I don't know of any work on this area; other than measuring the visual blindness humans have while there eyeball is in motion which is our form of shutter.

Peripheral vision picks up things differently as well. I've had many situations where I noticed something from the side view; especially in the dark. I certainly do not like high dynamic range within 1 shot where I don't have time to adjust my eyes to see the full range. 24bit RGB is plenty for an output format.

A lot of people want a Windows alternative, especially with all the hardware that can't run 11 headed to landfill. It would be nice if there was a Free as in freedom option, but for most people there isn't.

Dances with Giant Smurfs
Not that it matters, but it felt strongly like a sci-fi version of Dances with Wolves, with it's main purpose of focusing on indigenous peoples with a nature integrated lifestyle. Not sure why he picked giant smurfs... perhaps it was the smurf socialism and how any of the many forms socialism is attacked by the greedy? Not daring to get into economic politics aside from greed.

Maybe they are AI enthusiasts. Downloading data to train AI isn't piracy, just ask Facebook.

If this has any impact at all on artist compensation, it will be because Spotify is using it as an excuse.

IMO, given the amount of money involved and the patent absurdity of the government's behavior, the only rational thing to do is ignore their order and continue to build the wind farm anyway. The government has no legitimate legal right to take back a long-term contractual agreement like that. Once they signed on the dotted line, the lease is valid. Any national security concerns, if legitimate, should have been settled before the government entered into the agreement. Now, it's too late. Tough s**t, Donald Duck.

The government has only one option at that point, and that is to take the wind farm company to court. At that point, keeping the reasoning secret from the judge will not be possible, and the judge will see right through the farce and order them to do what the judge ordered them to do before — live up to their agreements. Realistically, national security concerns are implausible, and more to the point, even if a national security concern does exist, that's the government's problem to figure out how to prevent it from being a national security issue. They have no legal right to coerce a corporation to act on their behalf in doing so, absent a law being passed by Congress, which they have not done.

The only alternative is to waste years in court trying to get a judge to overturn the executive order and then wait for them to file another one in six months, resulting their use of the land being a constant yo-yo. The only rational thing to do, IMO, is to force the government's hand by making it clear that you won't be bullied, and making it clear that every future interaction along similar lines will end the same way — with you continuing to operate under the terms of your existing agreement and the government repeatedly and expensively failing to compel you to do otherwise.

and they implicate Trump. I think that much is obvious at this point.
