Jumping in here with a couple cents. Background: Old millennial, paid off home, pension, 401K, 6 figs. I'll be able to retire. My viewpoint: Automation and AI will accelerate. "Safe" jobs will be gone. In fact most jobs will be gone by 2029 (my guess). Goal: keep working and investing until I lose my job.
Hard times will hit because government is slow and wealthy people won't care until it affects them. Once jobs are cut, profits for many businesses will fall because no one will be buying anything with the money they aren't making. As big companies begin to fail, stocks will have already begun dropping. Wealthy will go after government and government will have to do something. Only good option to keep things running: Universal Basic Income. Question is where does the money come from? Answer: AI/robots will be taxed and taxed almost 100% more than a human. Why? They won't care.
This leads us into humans have free-time to do whatever they like. Some can work where AI/robots fail for whatever reason, some can create new things using all the new tools. Businesses will still try and make the best products so the wealthy can still feel better with all the money that really won't matter as much anymore. They'll enjoy some exclusive things but it will likely be just locations and not technology.
TL;DR: Hell at first, then modern day renaissance.
Thanks, I'm new to Linux so don't understand the process. How long until a stable release typically?
Oooh this sounds awesome! How long does it typically take to get pushed out to the distros? I'm using Nobara at the moment.
Matt's just fine, what do you think they made the paste out of? "Is that hair gel?"
Bro - sounds like you missed an opportunity to dual boot!
We can change societies in a few ways to reduce the number of people that reach her situation. That's going to take a very long time. Another thing that could be done is creating a plan for people in her situation. I think this will happen in the future (and will impact society in general). It has to do with the use of psychedelics. It may sound crazy to some, but I'd recommend we give people like this some shrooms, then escalate that to something like Ayahuasca and then DMT. If she still feels like nothing is worth it at that point, so be it, but I believe she'd change her mind on this path and have the potential to live a much happier life. This comment may seem extreme now, but looking back, I don't think it will be.
Great XKCD!
I guess you round up.
He tried but his best lawyers messed up the paperwork.
If Trump went after my daughter and I were the judge on his case, he'd immediately go to jail and be fined to the maximum extent.
On second thought, If you use the same source 1080p video and lock one in at 1920 x 1080 window and expand the other one to as full screen as possible. The full screen video will be up-scaled so you should be able to compare directly on one set.
Ah, I see. No problem. You'd have to switch back and forth in that case or have two of the exact same TVs to compare at the same time. (Some sets do a better or worse job of up-scaling). You'd also have to take into account viewing distance from the TV. At a certain distance it won't matter, but as you get closer, it matters more and more. There are view distance calculators available online to help with that.
I don't think so because you're not forcing the 1080p video to be upscaled since it's stuck with 1920 x 1080 pixels in my example.
Start with a 4K screen. Play a 4K video in VLC. Keep it in windowed mode but make it as big as you possibly can on your screen. Fire up the same video but at 1080p quality. Force that window to be 1920 x 1080 in size. There will be some overlap of the windows, but you can look at the non-overlapped parts and directly compare the video. You can also alt-tab back and forth. Not perfect, but it should give you a pretty good idea. Others - feel free to chime in if this is a good idea or not. I think that so long as the 1080p window is locked in at 1920 x 1080 then it won't be up-scaled.
Glad there's still hope for some of them at least. I used to see "in two more weeks everyone will see X and Y on TV and the truth will be revealed" and then a month later something similar at a later date... I'd think "how many times can they do this until people give up?"
Does anyone know what happened to all the Qanon people? I don't think I've heard much from that group in a while. Did they finally figure out they were getting played after all these years?
Florida is taking away the freedom of any person to eat whatever they want? Is anyone surprised?
With machines, just remember the "clicks" or "notches" to compare progress. You'll never really know the real weight because who knows the maintenance on them and the amounts of friction per machine that are inherent let alone the pivot points that allow for leverage that can vary.
The system could only display 400-something colors at a time. Once you reduce the number of colors that can be used, you lose gradients so one color doesn't ease into another color. Due to this, art styles were typically different and used contrast to "pop" the characters and items visuals in game since being more realistic wasn't an easy (or possible) option.
Now that we can have millions of colors, you can do whatever style you want.
A similar thing happened as polygon counts went up.
