No one wants _buggy slop code_ for their game, but ultimately no one cares whether is has been hand crafted or vibe-coded. As proof, ask yourself which of the following two options you would prefer: 1. buggy code that was hand-written 2. op

Except in Slow Horses, most of them are exceptional at least in some way. Many of them are too difficult to work with, yes, but they do excel at _something_. That is very different from being _all around mediocre_.

It might have to do with the fact that (at least on iOS), you can participate in a Google Meet call with just the Gmail app, as well as authenticate sign-ins, and who know what more. Could the main issue be Google is shipping apps within ap

I would love to do: - set aperture priority (fully open for most cases) - set shutter speed to AUTO with a limit (never open for longer than 1/100 s) - set ISO to AUTO with a limit (never go above 6400) If there is insufficient light,

If I set aperture priority to "maximum possible light in", I often have an issue that when there is insufficient light, the camera decreases shutter speed instead of cranking up the ISO (to the set upper limit), which would be muc

The pixel 4a battery life saga was what made both me and my entire extended family never even consider buying a pixel phone again (and move to Samsung or iPhones). Google denied the issues existed forever, then shipped a fix that somehow ma

Cool to see the growth. I have a minor suggestion: while the spinning counter showing "Estimated growth: 123.5 users since last update" is cool, it would make more sense to only show an integer here, since users can presumably onl

I realize my experiences are anecdotal to the two Pixel 4a phones in my family, but the numerous reddit threads about the Adaptive Battery issue (4a) and the later unexplained stand-by battery drain (4a & 7) seem to show that I have at

This is a laudable effort, but maybe the Pixel team should first focus on feature updates not completely messing up their phones for months at a time? Owning a Pixel 4a has been great until the first major Android update, which made the &qu

3500 is way too much when trying to introduce a new platform. I guess that's the cost of the display (two apple watches) and the chips (a Macbook and a half). But still.

It looks like good competition on the high end, but these numbers would indicate AMD is not much ahead of Intel in performance/price around the 12600k tier. Alder Lake i3/i5 buyers in the last year are probably pretty happy with t

I think using the term "re-emit" is a mistake on my part. I fully agree that the photons are not absorbed and re-emitted. However, their speed of propagation in the material, and their properties can be altered by the interaction

In my opinion, this question is impossible to properly answer in the framework of Maxwell's equations / field representation, since it cannot be defined in those terms. If I were to answer this question in terms of photons as smal

I have used the word "re-emit" in the sense of the Maxwell equations description of electromagnetic fields. You are right that the light definitely does not get absorbed and then re-emitted in the sense you mean. In such a case, e

The magnitue drop is reasonably simple to understand in terms of fields. The oscillating optical field might be less effective at exciting material oscillations in the middle filter due to a mismatch in polarization, but it still does so a

While this explanation is very nice, it still does not actually explain what is happening on a material level. The light does not "pass" through the middle filter, but it excites oscillations in the material, which effectively re-

The one where waves in the sea look like long-exposure photos of a waterfall are also pretty clearly wrong to the observer. It's funny that there is such a fundamental disconnect between the lifetime of the waves and the scene, similar

But how many times do you have to spam-press that button to heat a decent meal properly? I'd rather have a dial than having to press a single button 8 times for 4 minutes of heating. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
