Wouldn’t Wozniak be an obvious choice?

CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the highest paid athlete of all time was Roman charioteer Gaius Appuleius Diocles, earning total ~$15 billion over his careerEnglish1·25 days agoYeah the phantom might not be a good choice since its price varies hugely based on customization and didn’t have a MSRP. I was looking at the Phantom V though which was produced in the 60s.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the highest paid athlete of all time was Roman charioteer Gaius Appuleius Diocles, earning total ~$15 billion over his careerEnglish1·25 days agoOutside of issues caused by Ticketmaster, there’s also just a lot more people who want to see only a few performers. It seems like there’s always a couple of names that are so overwhelmingly popular. Add to that the ease at which people can travel hundreds of miles, and your demand outpaces supply.
Property costs are probably the biggest factor that is affected by a larger population. We’ve got more people but everyone still wants to live in the same areas (and we’re bad at increasing the density of housing in these areas).
Yeah the pricing of cars has really expanded. It used to be $1000-10,000 covered basically all the new cars in 1960. Now it’s closer to $10,000-$10,000,000. Although I wonder if the distribution actually looks about the same.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the highest paid athlete of all time was Roman charioteer Gaius Appuleius Diocles, earning total ~$15 billion over his careerEnglish7·25 days agoCars are an interesting example since even a cheap car today is significantly better in almost every way than the best car from the 60s.
However the very good cars have gotten much more expensive. So while we’ve been able to do more with less, we’re also doing A LOT more at the higher end.
For example, a Rolls Royce Phantom from the 60s was $6-8000. A new Nissan Versa for $20,000 is faster, more fuel efficient, safer. Maybe the leather in the Rolls-Royce is better.
My point is that it’s difficult to compare what you can buy over time since what is produced changes as well.

Wouldn’t you want to work in X and Y for this? Precisely because you’ve learned the X and Y coordinates in school. Then you add Z as the height.

Seemed like you could just use your American slaves.

CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's WhyEnglish5·2 months agoSeems like 60k miles for brake fluid replacement and 80k miles for low conductivity coolant replacement. Then also replace the normal coolant at 120k miles. This is for an Ioniq5.
I feel like most electric cars don’t need to use brakes going downhill. The regen is heavy enough to maintain a reasonable speed.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's WhyEnglish2·2 months agoHmm do brake calipers age? You’re not really using your brakes during normal driving.
Power steering and other hydraulics would need changing eventually.

He’s not free soloing, which is done without a rope.
There’s also rope soloing where you use a rope but you don’t have a belayer and have to catch yourself on falls.

CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Ask Science@lemmy.world•If I place a prism on a ray of sunlight in a dark room as Newton did, but projected onto modern sensors, can it register microwaves and radio photons beyond the infrared? More in text inside...English41·4 months agoA few practical issues:
-
https://asgs-glass.org/optical-transmission/ some examples of transmission spectrum for different glasses. So not all wavelengths will pass through.
-
Everything above absolute zero radiates photons. The prism, the detector, etc.
-
The radiation spectrum is usually drawn using some type of non linear mapping, as the ranges are quite large.

As a thought experiment, your DSLR sensor is 1 pixel. In this situation, regardless of glass quality, exposure, etc the sensor is the limit in this situation.
This same concept can be applied to noise. A FF sensor (24mm x 36mm) is 36x larger than a phone sensor (4mm x 6mm). If the phone sensor has better than 36x noise characteristics (not reduction, as in the technology is better so less noise is produced), it will be better in most situations. Only bokeh would be different as that’s based on incident angles, but in all other areas the phone sensor would be better.
In practice, you may have other limits such as poor glass quality and different controls, however you can have DSLR lenses that are quite bad as well. And also DSLR sensors do modernize with technology. But have you seen the original digital camera sensors? They are sooo much worse.
Eh old sensors perform pretty poorly. You end up with noise that’s hard to remove. Old Canon sensors had this terrible banding. Ultimately the image you get is math, and there are multiple ways to get the same result.

You don’t normally, until you get old and realize you’ve lost a ton of mobility. It’s something you need to actively notice.
