JPEG2000 also outperforms the 1990s era JPEG funny enough. The problem is leaving users up to driving adoption means it won't happen.
We need to learn from the video industry that the content producer needs to drive the adoption. We'll see wide spread use of 12bit HEVC long before we'll see JPEG phased out for this reason.
The problem is expecting the transport and storage standards to catch up after all other standards have.
Cameras capture wider colour ranges at better bit depths than they used to. Monitors have gone not only to wider colour gamuts but also to HDR. The average consumer now has access to equipment that outperforms the standard storage mechanism.
The problem here is that the user is driving the adoption. It's why JPEG2000 hasn't replaced JPEG, or why any of the other better than JPEG filetypes have done so either. In the mean time the content producers are the ones driving adoption of other storage standards. You buy a UHD bluray with Dolby Vision encoded movie, or stream an online video in 12bit HEVC. Why would you be happy visiting a website and seeing an image encoded in something from the 90s that results in banding and poor dynamic range when attempting to convey the full spectrum of what your equipment is capable of?
The only reason why many people need that 4Ghz to begin with is because of how bloated software has become.
What an ignorant and useless comment. Software bloat is a very minor portion of what it is our computers do. Almost none of what makes up bloat in software ever even comes close to pegging the CPU and would give you a few percent speed increase at the most.
What we do depend on CPUs now is raw computing power. I was fine with a 500MHz PC back when my digital camera had a floppy disc in the back, now that it generates a 50mpxl 14bpp file it's not going to cut it and that has nothing to do with the relative bloat of the image viewer.
Likewise for web browsers. It's not bloat to blame for the fact I expect a browser to be able to stream a 4K movie in surround sound. It's not bloat to blame for the 40 tabs I run concurrently. It's not bloat that I have 10 office apps open along side video conferencing software along with those browser windows.
And among all that my CPU is sitting at 30% utilisation, 25% of which is being taken up by a full system virus scan (fuck monday mornings on my work machine).
Spare us your "we could make this less bloated and we would all be happy with 500MHz" garbage.
Oh I agree, I thought we were talking about performance cars though. There were a few viable EVs before Tesla. One of the guys in my apartment building owns a BYD. Despite what a lot of people think of the Chinese cars it actually seems to be pretty decent.
America is one of (if not THE) most violent cultures going
Nitpick: You're not even close. But you are one of the most violent in a small subset of safe western countries.:-)
The problem really is violence begets violence. You treat your police with violence, they treat you with violence, and it's an endless circle of viciousness. I remember showing an American friend around Vienna one day (a city I've visited many times over the years), and this was the days before smartphones. We got turned around and couldn't find our way to the subway station, so I just casually walked up to two police officers carrying assault riffles and asked them for directions. They were kind, friendly and really helpful. I expect American police would actually be similar, but it blew my friend's mind that I would willingly talk to a police officer. He'd had it drummed in his head that the only words to ever say to a police office was "I want my lawyer".
Toxic culture that would be.
Also had an incident in Australia where I was accused by the police of fraud. They showed up, invited them in, made them coffee and discussed in detail how it went about that my identity was stolen. My nextdoor neighbour had a room mate who was dealing drugs so police came and executed a warrant for search and arrest. That started with a simple knock on the door and a ride down the station. No battering ram, no ransacking the house, and no handcuffs on roommate either.
Linux From Scratch would be by far the fastest and most efficient thing you could put on there. http://www.linuxfromscratch.or... It's also the most powerful in terms of customisation.
That was an easy one to answer. Give us something harder next time, like a requirement to do something useful with your OS:-)
2) How far away from the launching submarine would 100 Mt warhead need to be?
0m away. Well maybe 15m away. Give it a chance to leave the torpedo tube first. I'm interested to know why you think in a time of war that there aren't incidental friendly casualties? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
5) Why salt the bomb? That would poison the oceans over a vast area.
Yeah but that would be an entire ocean away from home. (pun intended)
Most other manufacturers are still at step 1 in the process - building the cars - and they won't be really successful until their is a common charging infrastructure that all cars can use.
Maybe in the USA that is true. In Europe the goal for these companies is to have the electric vehicles available at the same time that the IONITY network goes live, incidentally that will happen in 2020. You'll be able to buy your new Ferrari and drive it from the South of Spain to the north of Lapland stopping only for 20min at a time.
I don't know of a [business] that is making money selling electric vehicles unless you are selling them at the very, very high end of the spectrum.
This is a comment right out of 2008 not from 2018. The 3rd gen Prius started turning profits 8 years ago. Renault and Nissan have stated they make the same profit on electric vehicles as ICE vehicles, except for the Twizzy which makes even higher profits due to the leasing agreements and refurbishment of the battery packs.
Mind you I'm not at all surprised to see a car company which has nothing to do with the common automobile industry have absolutely no clue about what's going on.
VMWare has already issued patches to isolate any infection
The VMWare "patches" are little more than the same patches that everyone else is rolling out, and requires the same microcode update. That same update that VMware has pulled just like the rest of the industry has.
But go ahead, crash the delicately balanced ecosystem encompassing everything evolved over the last 40 years or so so that you can be "secure" (while phishers, etc wreak havoc through regular, working methods).
There's different risk profiles and different attack vectors for different systems. They all should be addressed as needed. Oh and for making that statement: You're a complete moron.
The same could be said for operating systems. So, I think it could be done.
No one has created an open source OS from the ground up. The Linux we hold for granted is the efforts of hundreds of projects maintained and contributed to by thousands of people, just to get a base system going. And there's little motivation to do the same thing with a CPU given the order of magnitude difference in complexity and the requirement for something to be complete on release (rather than say some dude creating Linux, some other dude porting some utilities to it).
Yes but nearly all of them do so as a means to an end rather than as an end itself. Designing a CPU is and end. The resource and R&D requirements are many orders of magnitude higher than many other open source projects put together.
You should see what happens to wiring harnesses when they are recycled. Hint: The copper is the only thing of value to the person doing the "recycling". Fire is the recycling of choice and rapid oxidation of plastic does a great job of doing what a landfill does in seconds instead of years. You end up with plastic particulate pollution, if you're lucky they'll ship it to China before that happens.
Cars are some of the most heavily recycled things on this planet
Indeed. You can see them recycled in giant piles at the scrapyards. The problem is we recycle things of value. Salvageable parts, metals, even the copper in cabling is good. You know why the recycling market pays more for raw copper rather than for cables per weight? Because of the effort needed to strip out the copper (recycled) from the plastic (not recycled). Cable sheathing is made of many different types of plastics and rubbers. No recycler ever puts the effort in to recycling the sheaths when the copper is worth 100x more to them.
Burning plastic (fastest way to strip a wire) has the lovely effect of breaking it down into small bits. You successfully achieve what the landfill does in minutes rather than years.
Biodegradable cable sheaths are more than fancy marketing.
Me thinks you don't know much about how a car actually works.... snip...
but the computer does not artificially govern your vehicle
You were doing so well right up until that point. There's even a colloquial name for the action of the computer artificially governing your vehicle: Limp mode.
A fuel injector failure (or your engine running too hot) can actually destroy your engine.
Yes it can. It rarely does. And even if it did the result is not an instant safety case.
Power steering is almost always hydraulic. Why would you want it to be electric
They are electro-hydraulic with adjustable sensitivity and tied into the ECU. When they first came out they were powered by the engine (which gave the driver some great feedback on when their accessory belt breaks). They haven't been setup like that for many years instead as a self contained and powered unit.
You know a bit about the mechanics of a car, but you seem to know little of the modern electronics in them, and aside from your incorrect statement that the computer doesn't govern the engine speed during failure everything else backed up what I was saying: None of those failures are a safety issue. Despite what you think the people who designed these systems actually thought about the failure modes.

So unlike their claim this works works in almost precisely half the realtime speed of traditional floating point arithmetic.
Like all other manufacturers, they kinda missed the boat.
FTFY. Telsa is a unique oddity, not just in Europe but also the USA and Asia.
Most other manufacturers are still at step 1 in the process - building the cars - and they won't be really successful until their is a common charging infrastructure that all cars can use.

Time to sue
Yep the American solution to everything which evidently does wonders in solving the problems.
it requires a certain type of personality to spend one's life confronting bad guys
Poor excuse. All over the world police don't have a problem but still spend their entire life confronting bad guys.
It's not that mainstream.
Fuck me are you in for a surprise when you hear of this thing called "the cloud".

there is something undefinable here that will burn into your soul.
That's just the brownsnake poison paralysing the muscles of your heart.
Or maybe it's because the most common clamidia carrier in the country often results in pictures like this: https://photos.travelblog.org/...
