Cap CEO pay 35x lowest paid full-time employee

Remove “Full-Time” from that, it’s an obvious loophole that would make the point moot.

I haven’t played with it too much yet but Qwen 3 seems better than GPt-OSS

You can install the current version of Ubuntu on your Windows 10 PC that can’t run Windows 11.

There are also some games with active modding communities that can be played basically forever without getting boring.

Hard drives are cheap and are only getting cheaper! If you are talking about proxy media, AV1 might be good for that with fast enough hardware support.

The noise synthesis thing is interesting. I have played with it, and it definitely works as advertised, but I’m not sure how I feel about relying on it.

I’m not really worried about the licensing of the codec I use for my personal archive. Even if I was worried, I would use h264 or VP9 before I used AV1.

But it looks much worse at higher bitrates. H265 can get decent bitrates and have no visible difference from the original. AV1 loses a bunch of quality right out of the gate. If you are wanting to archive footage I think h265 is much better.

I did a comparison of AV1 vs h265 on a handful of video files I have in different styles. H265 seemed consistently better. AV1 just crushes the quality way too much.

I don’t know what this is trying to say but I don’t think I like it

And some of the scientists who worked on those early calculations assumed it meant the physics was incomplete!

AAC is generally better than mp3, but idk about Opus.

Because trying to overturn a century of scientific consensus is definitely controversial, at best.

I don’t think what I’m suggesting is “trying to overturn a century of scientific consensus”. It’s a mildly different interpretation of the same math, that doesn’t require many physical worlds. It’s also not that uncommon. The “many worlds” idea is not scientific consensus. Go read about interpretations of quantum mechanics from sources other than Sean Carroll.

How, specifically, are you modeling the double slit experiment using only Newtonian Mechanics? How about quantum tunneling?

Both the double slit experiments and quantum tunneling emerge when you apply quantum statistics to any point particle following Newtonian mechanics.

Are claiming that super positions don't actually exist at all? Because, again, you'd better have a solid argument for such a radical claim.

Superpositions are a mathematical tool for describing the statistics of potential measurements.
