Woo! WiFi icon changes into Ethernet when it is connected and prioritized. Nice. Long overdue.

Does the "Watch Demo" button do anything?

Brutalism? More like 'Back to school' vibes to be honest

Agree, this would probably be great UI for K-6 level educational apps.

* 12 deaths per 100,000 per year, but 4 people go to jail for it

* 2 deaths per 100,000 per year, but no one goes to jail

Because apparently going to jail is important for some reason?

Honestly, choosing jail is somewhat dystopian IMO


what the point? Rewriting in Rust is not just a language change. Rust enforces designing systems in secure way to start with, not just memory safety.

For me last nail into becoming part of the crowd was Embassy. Whole my life I wrote some ad-hoc C microcontroller stuff. But just learning Embassy I realized that it could've been done much more elegantly and securely. If you have a spare moment, I would watch videos in this channel, old to new:

I've been using rust since 2017 and still code in it professionally and am a fan.

Moonbit is pretty cool too so I thought I'd mention it for other people who like cool things.


Can someone explain why they don't just add black bars on the side and show in filmed format?


They do. They show it in regular theaters (I saw it yesterday in one and was underwhelmed but that's another story).

You do lose a lot of the picture as it was intended to be viewed by the director, of course. But closest IMAX was too far.



You’re right, they COULD letterbox Nolan’s movie. They won’t.

Nolan filmed in IMAX. It could just be reduced in size, as you suggested by letterboxing, for standard screens. But they won’t. They don’t want you experiencing the full size movie on a standard screen. They want you to go to IMAX because it costs more.

It’s not about the experience. It’s about money.

It’s no different than car manufacturers of the 1980s selling a base model vehicle with hand crank windows. They could have used the same assembly line to cheaply install machine powered windows for every vehicle of that model, but they intentionally did things to push customers towards more expensive models.


To be fair, I expect audiences on average prefer fullscreen over letterboxing. Consider back when widescreen content was becoming common, but many people still had 4:3 displays - my experience was that people then generally defaulted to fullscreen 4:3 with widescreen content.


So... CAPTCHA?


That is not how orbital mechanics work.


there is a default three.js control panel. By default it has speed at 25x and 'Follow Earth' checkmark, which makes camera do weird things.


Are there evals if this changes quality of output?


I would expect that it does, as well as some of the other directives I've seen in this thread ("never repeat the question").

It's one thing to tell it to do that in outputs, but I wouldn't at all be surprised to find that this affects performance (quality).
