Some blurring is like pixelization


The same effect can be great for sports, animal videos, and documentaries.

I would describe the effect of HFR as pushing immersion past suspension of disbelief into reality. You can no longer see them as characters, you see them as you would as if it wasn't through a screen - as you said, like watching actors on a stage.

Fortunately(?), humans may get used to HFR as we have with previous advancements in video technology. Remember when people were freaking out about 4K, 3D, HD, Color, "The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station"?


Is 3D still a thing? It really wasn’t for me.


I appreciate you asking this question, as it wasn't obvious to me either


That is very funny. You could call it double irony: what you expected to happen is exactly what happened, but not in the way you expected it to happen.

I guess it's time for some old school analog printing. I'll see if I can whip up a 3d printable stamp


    clearance=17; // [50]
    height=150; // [300]
    r1=25-17/2; r2=25+17/2;
    for(xy = [[269,73],[85,170],[237,228],[475,280],[263,487]]){
        translate([xy[0],-xy[1],0]) difference(){
            cylinder(r=r2, h=clearance*2, center=true);
            cylinder(r=r1, h=clearance*2+.1, center=true);
        }
        hull(){
            translate([xy[0],-xy[1],0]) cylinder(r=r2, h=clearance);
            translate([237,-228,0])
            cylinder(r=r2, h=height-clearance);
        }
    }

> You will make the technology more expensive and harder to use by majority of bad actors.

I mean, we do have encryption, which is cheap for users and expensive for bad actors. The question is whether an analogue exists for AI.

In a sense, there's three types of security: exponential, proportional, and logarithmic. Encryption strength is exponential, number of pins in a lock is proportional, and bug fixing may be logarithmic.


What if we use DeepFakes to overwhelm the internet with pictures of people who don't exist? There by giving them LOTS of photos that have to be shifted through?


That would require that all social media is flooded with fake pictures (maybe more than it already is) making the Internet less useful for humans too.


    Some napkin/WolframAlpha math:
    if you wanted to use simple x,y,z coordinates,
    with the sun at the center
    and be able to represent locations at 30 AU (Neptune)
    with an accuracy of 1mm, e.g. 30AU vs 30.000...0001AU
    you'd need ~16 decimal digits of precision
    which is the same number of bits as a double (FP64)
    of course there's better ways to do this,
    in the surrounding smarter comments


suppose you serve clients who want their reports to be generated at 02:30 local time. you could try to run a cron container for every time zone :bleh:, but with daylight savings, the 2:30 event can fire twice, or not at all!

instead you simply see if there's a report for yesterday, and if there isn't make one.

the edge cases are still there, see replies


It would be interesting intermittent releases supplemented with diffs


I feel like it's better to embed the tool in a language, or many community supported languages than embed a programming language in the tool.


Per the docs on zfs program:

    The entire script is executed atomically, with no other administrative operations taking effect concurrently. 
Which would be somewhat hard to ensure with an external language.


This just sounds like when the script is run, a lock is taken. It seems like a pretty fast and loose definition of "atomic" (as in, not the ACID sense), as it says below:

     If a fatal error is returned, the channel program may have not executed at all, may have partially executed, or may have fully executed but failed to pass a return value back to userland. 
If an external tool is allowed to acquire this kind of exclusive lock, I don't see the difference.


> If an external tool is allowed to acquire this kind of exclusive lock, I don't see the difference.

That's the whole point, as I understand it. The channel programs are executed in the kernel, in a way that cannot be done by external programs. Some more details here[1].

edit: I also think you should have included the note, which says

Note: ZFS API functions do not generate Fatal Errors when correctly invoked, they return an error code and the channel program continues executing.

So while it's not quite ACID-level, its not as bad as it sounds without that note.

My feeling is that they're already there with the command line (just look at the filter stuff). Might as well just go all the way and have something sane that's supported all over.


thanks, I hate it so much
