It’s from an era where everyone just used open standards instead of trying to create their own thing for money.
SMS is literally from a time when every mobile phone manufacturer had their own charger plug. And some tried pushing proprietary headphone jacks.
Vendors LOVE vendor lock-in.
IrfanView. Nothing comes even close. I would probably move to Linux if not for that.
I am sober and serious.
At least it’s better than Slack and Discord. Still shit of course, but it could be worse.
Twitter currently has $1.5 billion/year deficit which is a lot, even for Musk, to bankroll.
Check Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox by Lina Khan (FTC). A very detailed review of how Amazon is a monopoly and how they dodge antitrust legislation.
That’s not how it works. Or, rather, that’s not only how it works. Sure, advertisers dream of users who see an ad once and run to buy a product. But ad effects are spread over time. They build brand recognition. They fake familiarity. Say you are in a supermarket and you want to buy a new type of product that you haven’t bought before. Very likely you’ll pick something familiar-sounding, which you heard in an ad. Ads pollute the mind even if the most obvious effects are, well, obvious and easily discarded, more subtle influence remains.
Exactly!
Gutting defeated/ousted manager’s projects is an obligatory and unavoidable ritual in corporate environment. Competent or convenient employees are pulled into other teams, pesky/unconvenient ICs are fired since everything can be pinned on the loser. Projects are often dismantled - even profitable ones to remove any possible foothold for a comeback. Shit, now I want to write a corpo book but styled like high school biology textbook.
Based on your analogue they drive the car for 7.5 inches (614.4 Kb by 63360 inches by 20 divided by 103179878.4 Kb) and promise based on that that car travels 20mph which might be true, yes, but the scale disproportion is too considerable to not require tests. This is not maths, this is a real physical device - how would it would behave on larger real data remains to be seen.
106 Gbps
They get to this result on 0.6 MB of data (paper, page 5)
They even say:
Moreover, there is no need to evaluate our design with datasets larger than the ones we have used; we achieve steady state performance with our datasets
This requires an explanation. I do see the need - if you promise 100Gbps you need to process at least a few Tbs.
Frieren is just so awkward, first she looks at Flamme and then squats to copy her.
Honestly Richter just gave them a good advice. Also note the shape of his “too complex” spell.
But she planned to hurt you without killing you.
We call it a reward over here.
Lied as naturally as he breathed.
Compare the complexity of Frieren’s spell to Richter’s.
Denken never misses an opportunity to advance his cause by holding Richter.
Their nod/smile to each other after both pass is so cute.
I liked everything in this episode except for Serie’s male voice which I hated. She deserves better.
Denken “The youth is wasted on the young”.
Well I totally missed that when it was shown once in the manga. They got a nice room upgrade too.
Bird going sonic boom is just too funny:
Nice flex bro
Also interesting how both Frieren and Denken think about relation of their own power as mages and the power of society.
Everyone’s waiting for the BATTLE TOURNAMENT arc.
I liked how Frieren threw both Stark and Fern under the bus with like zero hesitation.
At some point, you really do have to start wondering whether Flamme went, “What if I messed this elf up for life emotionally, but in a funny way?” given all the non-magic stuff that she taught Frieren.
Another great episode. Not much to say. Frieren’s lowkey trolling is the best.
And boy would that core be shitty and over-provisioned.
