> And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable

I believe it's matter of time for having lifeforms degrading plastic. When trees appeared, there was nothing can degrade dead trees for a long time. And that became fossil fuels. So plastic would be degraded eventually. And some amount of it buried deep enough would be another kind of fossil fuels.

That 20% gain is for the lossless re-encoding. It's not possible with .avif AFAIK. If you allow minor loss, jxl can save much more space.

The results are pretty bad for a top stars music video. But it's pretty impressive for not very important short clips like insert shorts of cheap Ads.

I'm scared because that's the most labor intensive area. Top talents will survive but all the volume industry will collapse.

> With a 24/192 Master in FLAC or ALAC, I can downsample to whatever the destination form factor is. I can transcode to a 320kbps MP3, or a 16/48 WAV stream for a smart speaker, or a 24/96 stream for the theater.

I used to think the same. But I realized that downsampling hi-res music to 16/44.1 isn't a transparent conversion. So now I prefer the one downsampled to 16/44.1 by an expert in production env. I almost always download 16/44.1 flac files because of this.

It might not be the popular way here in HN but nowadays I just ask llm to create required configuration files and everything is so easy. Of course you need to review them but tbh no more headaches at least with config files.

> nobody will be able to shut them down.

ASAT can completely destroy it very easily. Then isn't that everyone who can send orbital object can shut them down?

>Previous liquid-cooled servers were hybrid: GPUs and CPUs got cold plates, but the rest of the system stayed air-cooled, with finned heat sinks designed to shed heat into moving air. In a fully liquid-cooled server, the cooling for these components needed to be completely redesigned to use liquid.

Does that mean the whole server board is running in liquid? If true, how do they do maintenance? Replacing parts must be extremely difficult.

Because the price tag is like other Ferries.

Because the HW is bad and pricing is bad. Not because SW is bad.

> If the price goes up ...

That is what "choke" means in the global economy perspective. Even slight price increase on such material can cause inflation and that's everyone's problem.

That's not possible in most of the parking lots of South Korea. It's extremely dense and no space for big enough trees to shade cars.

> "Daily use—especially during exercise when heat and sweat are present—accelerates this migration directly to the skin."

How about the running shoes? That must have much more chemicals and adhesives although I don't have data for that.

Nice test. Nitpicking. Isn't it NB Pro and NB 2? Not NB Pro 2.
