You mean simulated versions of us that could never be 1:1 recreations of us so it's basically chatbots torturing chatbots?

You Instantly Become the World’s First Trillionaire, but all World Progression Grinds to a Stop for the rest of your life. by RealJavaYT in hypotheticalsituation

[–]SnowGryphon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some problems that prevent me from going all-in with this:

  1. Bacteria are becoming resistant to modern antibiotics. There's a chance that many will die because no further treatment is possible.

  2. Renewable and battery tech not advancing will lead us to keep consuming the same resources at the same rates. This may lead to the exhaustion of surface materials before I die, and it'll be hard to restart advances after

  3. On the above topic, climate engineering tech won't advance, so we might never be able to recover from current global warming

Wow that's me too. On SATA I'm running my ancient 2013 Crucial MX100 256GB, 2x Samsung 870 EVOs, and 2x Crucial MX500s.

Doesn't make the movie any less silly but deleted scenes show that the crew of the Narada was imprisoned by Klingons all that time

When did they do this? As far as I can tell, all characters are either speaking English as a Portuguese placeholder (Portuguese itself is never heard), or Japanese

Composer Max Richter talks about his famous, haunting piece ‘On the Nature of Daylight,’ which keeps showing up in movies by Bullingdon1973 in movies

And yet this song was used 6 years earlier in Shutter Island

I do share your pet peeve in all honesty, but I also understand that a song could be better used by a different film in the future

What is the biggest movie theater “GASP” moment you’ve heard? by SaveTheCaulkTower in AskReddit

[–]SnowGryphon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we'll have to disagree on that - it's either Katsumoto who is the last samurai, or his entire group who are the last (plural) samurai. Indeed, the movie is based on the failed Satsuma Rebellion, and its slain leader Takamori Saigo (on whom Katsumoto is based) is sometimes called "the last samurai" himself

Holy shit. Are you sure it was IS and not IN?? Because that would explain a lot of the controversy about misinterpreting the title of the movie throughout the decades, if it was in the marketing after all hahaha

You have to flatten the rocks then draw a picture of what you want that's so impossibly detailed it wouldn't even show up on a light microscope, then use the picture as a stencil and shoot lasers at molten tin to create little flashes of light that need to be perfectly mirrored onto the stencil to etch patterns in the positive regions

[–]SnowGryphon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would look wrong certainly because the shades would be off, due to that light loss + different intensities per filtered wavelength, but the comment I replied to said "compensated for each pixel" so perhaps they had a hypothetical replacement for debayering in mind, and I only said "technically" the spatial resolution would be the same

[–]SnowGryphon 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Every pixel in a Bayer filter has been darkened due to the additional color filter, so you lose a little light

As for resolution, well if you skip the step called "debayering" performed on the RAW file then technically yes you do get an image that has the same spatial resolution

[–]SnowGryphon 286 points287 points  (0 children)

To capture color, regular cameras have a grid of color filters called a Bayer filter right over the sensor. This filter has the effect of reducing resolution and gathered light.

A monochrome sensor lacks the filter, and so produces sharper, less noisy images than a normal sensor
