Camera tech on a phone is automated post-processing. Nothing else.

by hef19898 2y ago
Sure, a camera is a specialized tool doing a limited set of functions. It does not need the vast majority of functions Android offers: phone, 5g, internet, app stores... No nerd for that on a camera. What camera needs: fast "boot"

What software exactly are modern DSLRs or mirrorless cameras missing? I know, picking at software is a favorite past time on HN, but most of the time it is missing the point. Examples for this include: ERP systems, embeded and or safety rel

My Pixel takes reasonably good images, even printed some in A4, at A3 they suffer. That is for the camera generated JPEGs, the RAW files are all but unusable. It shows that smartphones use small, and crappy, sensors behind even smaller, and

If I want a camera running a smartphone OS, I use a phone. A camera should be by definition running on dedicated camera firmware, and nothing else.

True that. One thing that does work are targeted embargoes, if you do not want certain tech to spread to far and wide. General sanctions so, well, trickey isn't it?
7.
by hef19898 2y ago
Also called sanctions (we do those all the time, and it is usually only the poor suffering the most) or the morally superior prime directive. Sanctions can be necessary, and usefull, but incredibly hard to do right and target them correctly

True on so many levels, and most of the time ignored.

Well, what Lilium is flying is a demonstrator , not a prototype. The difference is that a prototype is close to the final product and test flights can be used in the early phases of the certification path, demonstrator flights cannot. Or t

That depends on tge terms of service and the jurisdiction you are based in. And whether or not you want to go to court over it or not. IANAL, but I am fairly certain terms of service do not trump national copyright laws. At max, you might f

Nah, China already sealed of their internet as did Russia and to a degree India. If we have, in the end, a dead US-centric internet, well, as soon as people start ignoring that it wpuldn't be a real loss to humankind. Until we reach th

On that we agree, and I am happy for it.

A) Copyright laws exist for a reason, even big tech should respect them (considering their utter disregard for anything but money, well...) B) Especially Meta knows aleeady too much about everyone, now they can add AI trained on all of that

I'd very much prefer my privacy to be respected universally. One has to note so, that there is a very significant difference between a democratic government having rules in place to intrude on it and some capitalistic corporation doing

Doesn't make him a failure so, does it? And considering how little social.places like the US have, wel... Are you sure things a different today?

This business professor, selling his books on leadership in a Ted x (!) talk lost me when he called Amundson "forgotten". Like hell, no, Amundson is not at all forgotten. And Shackleton is famous for saving everyone on his doomed

by hef19898 2y ago
Kind sad sad how we have the tendency to equal success with wealth. There are way more ways to be successful than money, or fame (and hey Shackleton is one of the big four arctic / antarctic explorers, so fame-wise he did good). And he

Tell that you uave no idea how electricity grids work and why a connected one across a whole region is better than isolated ones without tellong you know shit about that topic...

You'd be surprised who stopped Nordstream 2. And who pushed it for almost a decade.

FAX is still a leaglly accepted way to send official papers, e.g. to courts. As is paper mail. True. One can so easily set-up a company without it so. 90% of what you read about companies and how to run and set them up im Germany on HN is w

For everything genetic, biology and evolution related, I'd rather prefer psychologists to shut up. Unless the publish together with researchers in those fields. If they don't, it resembles more the BS "evolutionary psychology

At best, that would be some sort cartel, multiple really. Which is quite different from a monopoly, which again is something from dominant market power...

by hef19898 2y ago
Interesting, what's the difference?

There are rules about how airlines compensate for lost luggage. International ones, no admission of guilt involved. People tend to ignore just how rare, in percentage, and how often, in abolute numbers, lost luggage is.
25.
by hef19898 2y ago
Even better question: why is this case of simple theft on the HN front page? Edit: It was not the airline who stole anything, it was, allegedly, an airport employee.

Those two things do depend on each other, don't they? Like Ying and Yang?

Take a small enough map or globe and a big enough sharpy anf everything is on a line. Agree so, there is no line besides the one people make up.

by hef19898 2y ago
Which makes much more sense.

by hef19898 2y ago
Yeah, spherical geometry exists. But using various projections makes for better click bait.

Those two things are not exclusive: one can have near-global supply chains without modern industry. And one can have modern industry without global supply chains.
