Paulaner!

I tried out spezi when I travelled to Germany, it was weirdly nice.

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, and Daniel Craig as James Bond.

I’m pointing out that alternatives exist, and they are decent alternatives.

And I’m pointing out that those alternatives in practicality are not even close. Suggesting a hobby project out of the blue when OP is not even asking for it (and even claiming that they are comparable) is just dumb.

Capturing a photo of a bullet that’s been slowing down for 300 meters is not a great technical feat.

You just missed my point about the 1.6MP elephant in the room. And that’s just ignoring every other camera feature used to take the shot, which you would have to manually dial in with your rpi camera. You are simply not going to do that in the chaos.

I’ve only used Raspberry Pi based systems with manual focus.

Well that’s certainly a problem, isn’t it? You don’t know what OP does with their camera, if it’s a hobby or for a living. Go try suggesting building a RPi camera kit to sports photographers, see if they give a fuck about it.

Depth of field is a property of the lens, not the sensor.

DoF has everything to do with sensor SIZE. You are simply never going to get the level of shallow depth of field with tiny sensors compared to even M43 or bigger sensors. You are simply never going to get the ISO performances or dynamic range of a bigger sensor because the photosites are just physically huge compared to those in phone camera sensors. Even a cheap old 12MP DSLR is going to destroy the images quality coming out of the best 64MP rpi camera kit, not even a question. And not to mention all the other functions a modern camera has, like weather sealing, subject detect autofocus, auto white balance, color science, image stabilization, etc.

Sensors: if you want to take pictures in starlight, you can get IMX585 (hard due to market problems). If you want lots of pixels, 64 M is not a problem. If you want to photograph a bullet, you can get the low-pixel global shutter sensor, there is code around to take video at 500 fps (disclaimer: tiny video, extreme light level required).

I count 3 different sensors for each scenario now, and you even know their downsides. What makes you think OP is willing to deal with these? The global shutter sensor is a 1.6MP sensor. Yeah, that absolutely can replace the gear that captured the photo of the bullet whizzing by Trump and won the Pulitzer prize.

Yes, the depth of field and image quality the camera kit sensors and lenses produce sure can match those produced by full frame sensors and lenses. And fuck Canon’s industry leading autofocus, OP can write their own autofocus algorithm too!

Putting tariffs on Norfolk Island and Heard and McDonald Islands are particularly funny considering Heard and McDonald Islands only has penguins living there lol.

Taiwan always had pretty good relations with Japan. It’s the Trump situation that threw everything in the air. People here for whatever reason can be extreme as if you’re not pro-trump, you’re pro-china. They actively say that any messages that are anti-trump or anti-america, reasonable or not, are lies of the ccp. Which is insane.

I do not want China to annex my hometown, but I also do not like how trump is going about it, alienating allies and all. It’s like having to choose between two evils, because if not the US, who can we rely on to back us up in military? If we want to survive under trump, we have to play by his rule. He does not have a lick of respect for other countries’ sovereignty, as shown with Canada and Greenland, and I hate that we have no choice but to endure that.

Speaking as a Taiwanese, I fucking hate this situation we’re stuck in.

There shouldn’t have been a poll in the first place

• Red Flags Pod: F1 Podcast with sister show Vankah Hours starring Gunther Steiner as a third co-host.
• Hyperfixed: Show where Alex Goldman tries to solve a problem an audience sent in, no matter what the topic is.

I stand corrected.

From my understanding, they do have contractors bid for projects. Though, fair and transparent or not is another issue.

death penalty to greedy leaders of companies

With the notable exception of people in power. (Edit: They do get executed) Corruption is real bad there, there are plenty examples of people in gov positions being filthy rich and have kids who show off their erroneous spending on Douyin.

Why not? It doesn’t really matter who steals from who in the AI race, it’s about who gets to the top first to dominate the market. So of course China would want that, as do every AI company around the world.

FYI, China although communist in name, actually functions mostly on capitalist economy, but party authority always comes first.

Also a regular occurrence in the Taiwan strait.
27 times in the past 5 years (Article date 2023).

Why the fuck does China and CCP have any say in “democracy and human rights” like they are some kind of leader in that regard?

No entirely surprised. Check on the Great Translation Movement Xitter page, people are vile on there.

I think you’re confusing desktops with laptops.

In case it wasn’t a joke, I imagine it would be high enough for your finger to just poke under it to push the button, like you would a monitor with buttons on the bottom of the screen.
