Looked up “cromulent” in the dictionary. Wasn’t disappointed!!

The chances of a deal are said to be weeks away, if not non-existent.

What kind of non-sentence is that?

A couple of ideas:

Encoding holograms

• Model the object in 3D space (using Blender maybe?)
• Use the Angular Spectrum algorithm to model light propagation, its interaction with the object, and it hitting the recording medium.
• Your final recorded hologram should have two maps (aka “images”) across (x, y): a map of the light’s amplitude and another of its phase offset. This is your recorded hologram.

Decoding holograms:

• Use the angular spectrum algorithm again except reverse the light’s propagation direction. The amplitude and phase maps from the encoding phase are the initial conditions you’ll use for the light.
• The light’s amplitude and phase information you calculate at various planes above the recording plane are the 3D “reconstructed” image.

Last thought

Holography is often used to record information from the real world, and in that process it’s impossible to record the light’s phase during the encode step. Physicist’s call it “the phase problem” and there are all kinds of fancy tricks to try to get around it when decoding holograms in the computer. If you’re simulating everything from scratch then you have the luxury of recording the phase as well as the amplitude - and this should make decoding much easier as a result!

I really like 1440 news which is a news aggregation/curation service. They try to be politically unbiased, and they send you an email each morning with the news from yesterday (sort of like a print newspaper).

I also read allsides.com sometimes, which is another unbiased aggregator service.

Unpopular opinion: home automation is overblown. Except for the disabled or edge cases the convenience these solutions add are comparable to the inconvenience they bring (added expensive, harder to maintain, repair, replace, etc).

I’ll get out of bed to turn off the lights.

I think it’s not good manners to send video traffic through tor. They don’t have a ton of bandwidth, so I’ve read the community asks people to find other ways to do high-bandwidth activities privately.

I sneak up behind her and give her “tiger rubs”, which is aggressive up & down motion on the ribs & side meat.

Yup, power supplies and batteries are also usually the first components to die. All the more reason to avoid cheap ones.

Conservatives are more likely to follow college sports, while liberals are more likely to follow professional sports.

Why? Beats me.

Edit: I read this in a study once. Might be this one. Also, I’m reminded that basketball fans are more likely to be liberal as well.

This looks great, thanks!!

VR tourism. Or even better: VR historical tourism!!!

No points, no battles, no level ups, no upgrades. Just exploring faraway or historical places.

Agreed, and let me add John McCain. He epitomized the grown up, think-for-yourself Republican. I miss that.

I still try to boycott Amazon, for a myriad of reasons. I don’t think you’re stupid for doing it!

!asklemmy@lemmy.ml’s rules specify not to engage in political discussions.

There are Lemmy communities dedicated to politics if that’s what you’re after.

Nice try OP! You’re not stealing my gold mine of a story idea that easily!

Are these… a lock combo? I must find a safe!
