  • All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027

  • Not all of them use the "case around a camera" approach (although a lot do, admittedly). The Olympus Tough series of cameras don't, for example. And really, phones would have pretty simple seams around the battery.

  • 3 US Sanctioned Iranian ships pass through Strait of Hormuz

  • Is this "sanctioned" or "sanctioned"? Its one of those aladeen words that has two diametrically opposite meanings.

    "Tabled" is another one.

  • Trump’s White House Easter event gets weird as Trump focuses on Iran war and shows off his arch plans

  • Ok, so, regarding these ideas:

    • "it has not been revealed enough how damaging sugar is" -- I would agree with this. I'm not sure that was his intention in particular.
    • Ancel (intentionally?) overlooked some data when forming his theory -- I would agree with this too. But it doesn't make the harm of cholesterol moot. Or do you now want to ignore the other data yourself? It just makes the situation more complex than simply "fat alone is bad". Too much fat is still bad.

    He made a step, perhaps a bit too long in a mistaken direction, but understanding didn't and won't stop with him. How everyone reacted to his theory was also part of the fault.

  • Demonstrating Real Time AV2 Decoding on Consumer Laptops

    Jump

  • Copy pasting some AI summary from Google since I'd never heard of it:

    Key Improvements of AV2 over AV1

     
            Higher Compression Efficiency: Early tests indicate a 30%–40% improvement in coding efficiency, enabling lower bandwidth usage for high-quality streaming (VMAF/PSNR improvements).
    Larger Block Processing: AV2 supports superblocks up to
    pixels, up from AV1’s
    , allowing better handling of high-resolution video.
    Enhanced Partitioning: Features fully recursive partitioning with improved flexibility (semi-decoupled luma/chroma).
    Advanced Prediction Techniques: Includes Temporal Interpolation Prediction (TIP), data-driven intra modes, and improved chroma-from-luma modeling.
    Newer Coding Features: Enhanced support for HDR10+, 360-degree video, and split-screen viewing.
    Improved Screen Content Coding (SCC): Offers improved handling of screen content, crucial for application sharing and gaming.

    Technical Advancements

     
            Transform Kernel Redesign: The codec uses new 8-bit multiplier-based transform kernels for better coding efficiency.
    Data-Driven Transforms (DDT): Implements DDT for inter-predicted blocks to adapt to varying image textures.

    Development and Adoption

     
            Timeline: The final specifications are expected late 2025, with hardware implementations anticipated for 2026.
    Status: While 53% of AOM members planned to adopt within 12 months, the codec remained in draft status as of early 2026.
    Licensing: Like its predecessor, AV2 is designed to be royalty-free.

    AV2 is designed to compete with VVC (H.266) while providing a significant boost to streaming efficiency, which will help reduce CDN costs and improve buffering in high-definition video applications.

  • A dietitian who "established the link between cholesterol and heart disease, created K rations for the US military" and died in 2004 aged 100 is the world's greatest villain for you?...

  • Ni what?

  • Visualize a clever joke. Then realize this is nothing like that and you will reach enlightenment.

    Try instead visualizing a racist quip that someone that voted for Trump might enjoy.

  • "Retribution" is a common false friend (faux ami) in English-Spanish translation, where English speakers might mistakenly use retribución to mean punishment, whereas retribución actually means compensation, payment, or remuneration.

    And Spanish is not the only language where "retribution" means remuneration. English is the weird one here.

  • Oof, I hope everything turns out great for you! (And since I just now noticed your username: thank you for everything you've been doing for us!)

  • Happy... bleedivus, I guess!

    But seriously, I don't think the AI was very wrong here, depending on how severe the bleeding was? Did the doctors say anything?

  • What you'll find is that rug will suddenly be pulled from under you and you'll realize the assumption you made was erroneous.

    Joke's on you if I'm too dense for you to pull the rug out from under me.

    But seriously, saying "cruise line" did not do enough to contradict the SF frame for me. Should have been something like "passenger ferry boat company", out something.

  • Once "artificial gravity" was mentioned, I immediately placed this scene in a science fiction setting and I couldn't see what the joke was. The joke was that it's not a science fiction setting. It needs more clues to clarify that swap.
