I have I have been using Cinerella for about 30 years. I asked Gemini about it and it told me there would be nothing new or exciting in Kdenlive. Only recently it started to be a worthy competitor.
These are just echoes of Soviet Era "Cultural Palaces" aka "Folkets Hus" in Socialists-run Sweden.
For the "Culture" no one wants to pay their own money for.
I visited only once, using the Toilet. Kinda Scary. It was gender-free, consisting of large locked cubicles, which were mostly occupied as kiosks for drugs and sexual services. Romanian Romas also had permanent presence there.
But sadly this gender-free dream was destroyed by the order of the Nazi Polizei.
Why is "They Were Made Out Of Meat" Hacker News favourite, but "Bordered in Black" is always flagged?
Gemini:
In short, "They're Made Out of Meat" makes people feel smart and curious, while "Bordered in Black" makes people feel uncomfortable and argumentative—and on Hacker News, "uncomfortable and argumentative" is a fast track to being flagged.
Asking Gemini with the titles swapped will give you an equally confident story and reasoning about why "Bordered in Black" is actually preferred. This, and more, is why we're interested in what you have to say about the stories instead of what the LLM has to say.
What makes you a big fan of the story/reminded you of it here? I just gave it a re-read and thought it was alright. Not my favorite work of his... but certainly not bad either. Perhaps I've just read too many Sci-Fi stories to be properly shocked by the theme given the relatively short time to be immersed in the setting :).
Do you have an example of it being flagged? I only see one old post from 7 years ago (not flagged), and that links to a scribd pdf rather than the author's website
I suggested that after the Final Countdown first computers are made with Rope Memory and Mechanical Relays. But Ken Schirriff said NO -- you need semifast semiconductors to read the memory.
Achually. If you have L.M.Ericsson 8x8 latching crossbar switch, 64-bit memory needs only 6 relays. Yes SIX.
The Fuji relay-computer has lots of those crossbar switches.
However. The rope-memory in this scene is read-only-storage containing vast amount of data. Rope memory is economical to use but labor-intensive to produce.
You will amazed. One reason is that relays are suitable for multilevel signalling. That is why the relays-only Fuji computer was on par with contemporary Amerikahito crap.
They forgot the ballpoint pen. In 1950 Sweden flowing ink and cursive was the mark of a civilized man. I remember teacher using magnifier to detect cheaters as evil ballpoint technology advanced.
Evil ballpoint is evil. I remember everyone chewing up plastic ballpoint pens into unusablily and also using them as blowguns with chewed paper, whereas nothing of the sort was possible before their introduction. (however, flowing ink also had its uses :) )
What do you mean? Do you mean small solar panel for smartphones? Because the panels in the article are over a square meter big. Mine make 200-400 watts on sunny days
Different companies, different manufactoring methods and different components. The inverter is the biggest cost at normal PVs for example, the panel itself is glas and alumnimum and not epoxy or plastic.
Gemini parsed 5000 lines assembly program. And it understood everything.
I wanted to change it from 32-bit MSDOS to 64-bit Linux. But it realized that the segmented memory model cannot be implemented in large memory without massive changes which breaks everything else.
It was willing to construct new program with seemingly same functionality, but the assembly code was so incomprehensible that whole project was useless as a learning tool. And C-version would have been faster already.
Sorry to say, but less talented humans like me-myself are already totally useless in this.
