> It’s gonna destroy the color, and it’s not the filmmaker’s intent.

I don't care about the "filmmaker's intent", because it is my TV. I will enable whatever settings look best to me.


If you have network infrastructure that supports 400G I'm pretty sure it has solid PTP built in. And as far as I remember from my networking days setting it up is almost as simple as setting up NTP, you just need a single machine with a GPS lock.

Everything you do will have some effect on another task you're doing. Nothing is perfectly safe. Most people are ok with the risk of driving. It doesn't matter if you're having a conversation.

The reason I hate AI generated code is because it's low quality and a pain to review. Similarly, AI generated images and videos are also low quality and not worth paying attention to.

If a game is well made and people enjoy it then what's the problem with utilising AI generated code or assets? What's the objective?


I think Firefox is an excellent browser. Their problem is simply that they have too much revenue for too many years. They need a fraction of that. If I were the ceo, I would drastically cut back operations. Scale down the org to 10% of its current strength, keep shipping a solid and boring browser, accept donations that directly support development of the browser. No fads, no ai, just a high performance, bug free, standards compliant browser. The users and donations will come. Firefox will survive. One year of google revenue can kar them for 10 years of lean operation!

Revenue is good for the company - and they'll want as much as possible in order to support their obligations to the business plan, but unfortunately layoffs were still part of that plan these past few years. Mozilla's CEO pay:

2018: $2.46 million

2020: $2.97 million

2021: $5.59 million

2022: $6.90 million

2023: $6.26 million

I block requests to Mozilla infrastructure, not by mistake.


At this point Microsoft needs to start over with Windows, preferably build on Linux. Valve did it and built a better gaming OS. Microsoft can do it for the rest of us.


Because as TFA reported, Copy-Item is much slower than the GUI.


People download it only when their phone is stolen.


They download it where? On a spare phone? How does that work?


Jellyfin is great for this if you don't want to put the computer right next to the TV. Set up your torrent program to download to a particular directory and set up Jellyfin to watch it. The most seamless experience to watch anything. The only downside compared to Netflix is you need to wait 10-15 minutes to let the torrent finish. Also sometimes you have to hunt for the subtitles if you want them.


Alexa has this annoying habit of being non-deterministic.

> Alexa, turn on the bedroom lights.

> OK lights turn on

In the evening:

> Alexa, turn on the bedroom lights.

> I'm sorry, I don't know a device called "bedroom lights".

How is it even possible to build a computer system that behaves like this?


Internal timeouts on backend calls, eventual consistency...


OMG yes this! It’s infuriating.

Even basic tasks like “play this song” get screwed up and wonder off into the abyss. Absolute pile of garbage from Amazon on this AI stuff.
