Jobs where a machinist is in charge of large chunks of the process are rarer. Large shop will have one person setting up many machines to maximize throughput.

The biggest tell for AI writing is just being AI adjacent. I've started avoiding reading AI articles here because (surprise) they all feel like a chatGPT transcript.

Since realizing, I've been stubbornly improving my own writing and not touching LLMs. Takes a bit of work though.

I find it difficult to skim AI writing. It's persuasive even when there's minimal data. It'll infer or connect things that flow nice, but simply don't make sense.

I don't write often, so revising and rewriting is very slow for me. I'm not confident in my writing and it looks clunky to my eye.

I see the appeal, though I want to keep developing my own skills.

Not a bad blogpost because of this, but you need to be careful reading. I've noticed most of the article on the HN front page are written with AI assistance.

We have pickups and the minivan and I often prefer to haul with the van. Better fuel efficiency and lower load floor are nice.

Quite lazily done and just not pleasant to read.

The "normal" video should aim to be moderately bright on average, the extra peak brightness is good for contrast in dark scenes. Other comments comparing it to the loudness war ar apt. Some music streaming services are enfircing loudness normalization to solve this. Any brickwalled song gets played a bit quieter when the app is being a radio.

Instagram could enforce this too, but it seems unlikely unless it actually effects engagement.

For things filmed with HDR in mind it's a benefit. Bummer things always get taken to the extreme.

I was not familiar with the hardware, so I was disappointed there wasn't a picture of the device. Tried to skim the article and it's a mess. Inconsistent formatting and emoji without a single graph to visualize benchmarks.

This argument misses the forest for the trees for non-commercial users.

That's just a problem with manufacturers putting displays with high dynamic range into devices and not putting decent HDR software implementations in.

Some apple devices are smart about it though. When you open up an HDR video, it cranks the backlight to make those highlights pop, but dims the LCD by lowering the contrast in software. This means high contrast websites don't sear your retinas while your media can still take better advantage of your display.

It's not analog, but it's a feature built into the audio chip so there's no noticeable lag. AFAIK, it's not exposed to other software at all, because even the official Google Sound Amplifier app has noticeable lag since it does it in software.

It's possible that ANC convinces your ear to open up a bit more, leading to damage in the frequencies that it doesn't attenuate.
