Well havent tried to do IMU rading& GPS while doing highspeed recordings. But maybe thats the fix. But also as a goal i would see to do the ICE from Hamburg to Munich as it is the longest with 8h but while 300kmh the 240 fps of a phone isnt enough and a linescan camera would be needed again. And the window (quite literally) is closing as the new ICEs have those New meshes inside so you cant take the Video without those... Also the data requirements of an 8h 4k 240Hz/480hz video are a bit scary

Great writeup! Planned doing the same thing Herr in germany. Thought a Smartphone camera would be enough but there no way to access the camera2 api for those highspeed recordings. I took 1h long 240hz 4k vertikal videos (out of the Schwebebahn in Wuppertal) which could be displayed by MacOS preview. Right no im waiting for a good gaussian splatting tool to create the driving of the "Train” in Blender. The newest Lingbot-map is unfurtunatly not really trained for sideway movement. I always asked myself if the sideway movement and the Parallaxe would make way easier to infer the distance and the 3d scanning capabilities because the pixel only really move one as long you dont drive turns

If they make decisions based in data, you should be in the data stream.

Going blind to the big data is like not voting in my opinion. I also cherish those Islands but I see it as a place in which you put data which shouldn't be in the bug data pool or at least in a different category and not traceable back to you...

Is there a way to mimic the experience on a "normal" android phone? Making everything b/w with monochrome setting is easy. But reducing framerate and maybe also reducing resolution? Maybe even put a filter over it? Anybody tried that?

But how does the market suffer from that? It implies that the Mietenspiegel is a bad policy. It only protects from price gauging or price dumping. If you are living in Berlin I would highly recommend looking up if you're paying too much.

How does it suffer to make it illegal to charge 10% more or less than the average for comparable housing? It seems to make it more stable and less volatile.

I agree I should have written a more constructive comment with more details. But I thought it was clear how policy can help in the short/medium/long-term. Please read the answers I wrote to the commenters below/above

They at least tried, but also it was abbolished bc it was unconstitutional. So the current market is not bc of it.

Short and medium? That's probably a tough ask besides subsidiaries. But also allow fast redevelopment of office space. In Germany there was and is the "Munich" effect. Zone too many office districts so office space is cheap and companies move there. So also more mixed use zoning for white color work places for short commutes

As I posted below and also public transport as mentioned in other comments

Change zoning rules. Incentives for co-living. Reduce flat sizes. Rebuilt office spaces. Or look to Vienna: a big stock of goverment-owned flats with low prices which makes it hard to charge more than those.

Just in case you're in a position to change anything about the housing market where you live: Change zoning rules. Incentives for co-living. Reduce flat sizes. Rebuilt office spaces. Or look to Vienna: a big stock of goverment-owned flats with low prices which makes it hard to charge more than those.

Geothermal is not good for global warming bc it is an additional source of energy which would normally be contained. The sun gives such amount of wattage and the earth can give so much wattage back to the universe. Nuclear, geothermal and fusion is stored energy like fossil fuel which adds to the heat in the atmosphere. Today that only amounts to 5% of global warming but if it's the only source of energy it could add more. CO2 is the focus right now bc it is continuous warming potential but the other energy forms have it too. Wind and solar is just "saving" sun energy from being instantly converted into heat and can be so used for our pleasure as it doesn't add to the input/output equation.

Do you have any sources on those informations? I find it really hard to find stuff for what you describe. Also do you know about the detail of producing those Asics? Are they CMOS or flash (in-memory-compute?)

I totally agree with you, but would also add that electro and techno kind of have the same meaning to me now. If someone ask about it I would reply back what their favourite guitar music is, because it's not a genre anymore but style how to make music. Namely electronic or technology focused

my money is on information overload... just one day to the other so much content is created that there is no way to know what's right or wrong. You can find everything and everything has the same production. so there is no way to tell truth from fake. sex possible tomorrow, content overflow today

New comment by strohwueste in "A growing number of scientists are convinced the future influences the past"

A very common thought in speculative Design. Eben if it is a bit true event in the future, an imagined event can change the present as the perception of the past. See utopias and dystopia as example. If we say this known known in the future it already affected the present and also the past. It gets interesting for the unknowns unknowns if those will change the past and present. But already accepting that there unknown unknowns changes the present.

The summary includes a dangerous thought: For example: why does north Korea develop a nuclear bomb is not important, just that they do. But only they why makes it problematic.
