Thanks for the context. That makes sense.

That sounds like two separate things then. Could you not have people select a destination without locking in an elevator? (I've never encountered destination dispatch myself, so I'm not really sure how it works in practice)

Destination dispatch should be no worse than standard up/down buttons, right (at least in theory)? It provides additional information about the destination, but it should be possible for that information to be interpreted as if it were

Overdiagnosis can be a problem. On the flip side, I wonder if adding the time dimension to the data (i.e., you could realistically have scans from every few weeks over the course of years) could significantly change that. Instead of looking

I love my X1C. It's way ahead of any other 3D printer I've owned or built. I stuck it in a VLAN from day 1. Have had it in LAN-only mode for years. Works great. I haven't followed the company's PR statements, but seems a

It sounds like they're doing what people want. People seem to be ascribing a lot of mal-intent to actions that don't seem malicious to me. > completely exposes your printer by removing existing access controls If these printers

Bambu Lab has made plenty of mistakes, but I don't think this is one of them. And I'm a big supporter of open-source software. Their cloud infrastructure obviously has real costs associate with running it, and I don't underst

That's true if we're correcting OCR of actual output text. In this case, it's operating on the base 64 text, trying to produce chunks that form valid zlib streams and PDF syntax so the file can be intact enough to be opened.

Letting Claude work a little longer produced this behemoth of a script (which is supposed to be somewhat universal in correcting similar OCR'd PDFs - not yet tested on any others though): https://pastebin.com/PsaFhSP1

It sounds great, but every time I see this argument, I end up going down the rabbit hole of actually studying how stablecoins operate. And every time, I come to the same conclusion: they always rely on trust in an off-chain oracle or cust

Exactly. The only way for this to deliver on its goals would be for it to not be public or permissionless. And if that's the case, then it should really just be a database and/or a shared protocol between financial institutions.

This is a really good point. To illustrate the temporal aspect: consider a traditional film projector. Between every frame, we actually see complete darkness for a short time. We could call that darkness "noise", and if we were to

I agree. However, let's look at it practically. Let's assume someone is watching content streamed on a low bandwidth connection. As a content creator, what version of the compressed content would you rather your audience experienc

To the comments hating on grain: everything naturally has some amount of noise or grain - even the best digital sensors. Heck, even your eyes do. It's useful beyond just aesthetics. It tends to increase perceived sharpness and hides fl

> both it and the synthesized grain image look noticeably less sharp than the source That's true, but at a given bitrate (until you get to very high bitrates), the compressed original will usually look worse and less sharp because s

I should have worded it like this: I prefer to watch movies in UHD, even though they're usually also HDR. I don't think anyone is saying HDR isn't really HDR. It obviously does support higher dynamic range, but it's kind

I assume you've watched the "Wider Gamut Misinformation" portion of the video. You're correct in saying that HDR normally uses Rec. 2020 (because Rec. 2100 points to Rec. 2020's color primaries), but Steve points ou

Yes, if you also need users to log into Jenkins from outside the private network (without a VPN), it sounds like OpenZiti would be a good option. In my case, Jenkins is only used from within the LAN. The SQS solution authenticates GitHub we

For more on this topic, I recommend Carlo Rovelli's The Order of Time . The book is very accessible to non-experts in the field (like me), and it opened my eyes to some super interesting and unintuitive ideas about time.
