So they tried to open a research center to steal Chinese talent (that has since been closed) and they released the Google Translate app on the Xiaomi store…
That’s not the same as supporting the CCP and the Uyghur genocide.

What are you talking about?
Google doesn’t operate in China, much less do work for the CCP.
“Getting fired felt like a possibility but never a reality,”
They took over an executive’s office and a cafeteria. Not knowing that you’d be fired as a result is a severe lack of judgement.
Protests are important. But you have to understand that there will be consequences for your actions. Embrace that going in.
Saying that you didn’t think they’d actually fire you comes off as childish.
Are you suggesting we treat North Koreans like indigenous people in Ukraine?
Why would any country allow soldiers of another to “do their own thing” within their borders?
That’s a good idea. They could probably do something similar for the audio.
They’d have to code around the rest of the animation and audio effects, but the size of that code would certainly be smaller than the rendered audio and video.
Video codecs mostly work by tracking movement, predicting which pixels will change, and striving to only encode the pixels that actually change or change dramatically. In other words, compression looks for patterns.
All of that goes out the window when you try to compress static. There are no patterns. It simply can’t be compressed. This isn’t a matter of the algorithms not being good enough. It’s a fundamental limit of information theory.
Anything fancier amounts to embedding the intro into the compressor as a well-known pattern. And at that point, you’re better off just caching a 4K version of the intro as a standalone video file directly in the app.
What are you going on about? Have you ever ridden in one of these?
They do have these buttons…
Doctors with one border
I see. Yeah, obviously the world only has 3 spatial dimensions, so you can’t represent 4D data spatially.
My general point is that we have additional senses that we can use to represent additional dimensions. And that totally counts as “visualization”.
And it is not possible to “visualize 4D”
Sure it is.
And that’s not even counting projection. All the time we interact with 3D data that’s projected to 2D (almost every photo you’ve ever looked at). There are similar ways to project 4D to 2D.
(Not defending the video or anything, just pointing out that visualizing higher dimensions is something we know about for ages.)
I think the reason Zealandia is called a “submerged continent” is because it is made of continental crust rather than oceanic crust.
But IMO the best geologic definition of continents is by tectonic plates, which mostly matches up with the cultural definitions of the continents.
For the major continents, we have these plates:
There are several smaller plates too, like the Caribbean, Indian, and Arabian plates. IMO, we should consider these independent continents.
There is also a dedicated Pacific plate. The ring of fire is the border of this plate.
New Zealand / Zealandia is on the ring of fire. Half on the Australian plate, half on the Pacific plate. You can actually see the border of the two plates when you look at the topographical map of Zealandia.
You’re using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn’t support the war.
What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?
Nothing? It’s literally the primary source.
Did NYT support the war? Let’s look at the opinion pieces they published about the war.
Trump: incoherent rambling about immigrants stealing then eating pets and Democrat governors aborting newborns
Kamala: “He lost the election, and he’s clearly having a hard time processing that.”
My money is on cousin Greg to take over.
The only way to stop a bad child with a gun is a good child with a gun.
Yeah, I think so.
At first, Xockets sounded like a legit tech company to me. But a closer look at their website reveals that it’s actually run by a bunch of patent attorneys.
I saw it at the MoMA in NYC. The thing is tiny…
Tell me you’ve never worked on a farm without telling me that you’ve never worked on a farm.
The thumbnail photo is extreme, yes. But white farm workers still get sunburns.
And were they any good?
My car runs Android Automotive^1 on an Intel Atom and performance is trash. I would hate to have a phone on the same platform.
^1 As in, the car runs Android directly, not Android Auto running from a phone.
