...

The speaker of the house is helping Trump show off his incredible puppeteering skills.

And I'm not talking about ventriloquism, Trump's up in him to the elbow.

The GDPR is one of the regulations that actually seems to help on a daily basis.

23andMe is going bankrupt and now a good part of the US is having their DNA sold to the highest bidder.

Not just nightly, it's been doing this forever.

Fine with it, only Linus can judge me.

4k with 10b/pixel (assuming, could be 12) x 60fps (assuming) x 360s (4min) x 3 cameras:

3840 * 1920 = 7,372,800 pixels

7372800 * 3 channels (RGB) = 22118400 values

22118400 * 10/8 = 27648000 bytes

27648000 * 60 = 1,658,880,000 bytes/sec

1658880000 * 360 = 597,196,800,000 (0.6TB for 4 minutes)

.6TB * 3 cameras = 1.8TB

RAW means RAW, no encoding, no cute channel games, no nothing, just fuck-off I/O.

edit: My bad, that's 6 minutes, so assume 12 bits per second and you get the same size for 5 minutes.

Modern compression algorithms are quite literally just magic at this point.

edit2: FUCK! Forgot audio!

So... 192khz * 32bits/8(bits per byte) = 768,000 bytes/sec * 300 (5 minutes) = 230,400,000, so 230MB, doesn't really move the needle.

I also work remotely.

But I'm brown.

Because Nvidia wrote an absolute fuck-ton of their Cuda stack to make it far more performant for many common tasks out of the box.

Early opencl implementations absolutely sucked.

It was a big rock.

Never forgot that episode.

They went completely off the rails, it's near its best.

The whole south is a lost cause.

They want to wallow in their filth, just let them. We need to focus on helping decent Americans.

That's true in state prosecutions, but the jury pool for federal cases is much more slanted towards the prosecution, and the judge has a lot more power (and is likely a Trump appointee).

That's true in state crimes, but federal prosecutions are actually very different.

Federal prosecutors have a lot more room to argue and in general the court tends to favor the prosecution much more.

The judge is responsible for sentencing (and Trump appointed a lot, guarantee he gets a Trump judge), while discovery is much more restrictive against the defendant.

The point isn't to win, the point is to cleanse the population of ethnic non-Russians.

The script is nothing to write home about, largely adapted from the meeting transcripts.

The setting is fixed and fairly limited, painting a backdrop but only just, powerful men desiring comfort besieged by winter.

The acting is art beyond anything I've seen elsewhere, each character responds to the next, you see and are absorbed by the mundanity of the interactions, the basic dynamics of a corporate meeting, while the underlying impact screams in your brain.

They took the dry meeting notes (https://holocaust.umd.umich.edu/news/uploads/WanseeProtocols.pdf) and made a drama that shocks you with the ultimate banality of evil, exactly as imagined by Hannah Arendt.

This just came to me today, we all write our own narratives for what we do, and watching Heydrich, the ambitious patriot trying to clear the way for his country's deserved greatness, the bureaucrats trying to slither amongst the politics, the soldiers merely looking for leadership, and the diplomats and lawyers merely trying to keep the blood off their cuffs.

Meanwhile, Eichmann takes his orders and follows them with the obedience and competence of a well-disciplined soldier...
