Some of this is just really widespread imprecise usage of terms: what really should be called "YCbCr" in digital contexts is frequently called "YUV." So-called "YUV" digital formats for video are really really common, and they're used for both NTSC and PAL. "YUV420," YCbCr using 4:2:0 chroma subsampling so the two color components are half the resolution in each dimension vs. the luma, in particular is super-common.

The Wii seems to actually use "YUV422" internally, so 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, where the chroma is only halved in one dimension. The conversion to analog NTSC or PAL signals happens later in the process. The repository here actually looks like it sets up the Wii's video interface to output NTSC progressive by default, but lets you configure for PAL with a config file.

Building against the Steam runtime containers seems like the other route, which also gets you more stability.

"The dataset is organized as one Parquet file per calendar month, plus 5-minute live files for today's activity. Every 5 minutes, new items are fetched from the source and committed directly as a single Parquet block. At midnight UTC, the entire current month is refetched from the source as a single authoritative Parquet file, and today's individual 5-minute blocks are removed from the today/ directory."

So it's not really one big file getting replaced all the time. Though a less extreme variation of that is happening day to day.

Parquet is a very efficient storage approach. Data interfaces tend to treat paths as partitions, if logical.

The IEEPA one works where it can last as long as the "emergency," which Congress can vote to end. The "days don't count as days" game just lets the House have an easier time of not bringing it up for a vote.

This other authority is different: it's limited within the law to 150 days and then has to be extended by Congress. So the same kind of strategy of just avoiding a vote doesn't work here. They could monkey with the deadline, but can't do so any more easily than just actually extending the tariff for real. Of course just like today you can have Trump jump to some new authority on day 151 instead.

> it's limited within the law to 150 days and then has to be extended by Congress.

Isn't that one also limited to targetted tariffs? He's applied it worldwide...

> Of course just like today you can have Trump jump to some new authority on day 151 instead.

Of the many articles on this matter written in the last 24 hours, a few that I read sketched out other sections of old never used law that Trump might land on after the current "new" 10% tariff expires its 150 day life.

While I'm not a fan .. credit to the Project 2025 people behind Trump that really put the effort into gaming out the overthrow of the established post war US order .. seemingly no loophole left unexplored.

The first one, the one based on the book, was great and did fly a good deal under the radar. But definitely one of those ones with a core fanbase that evangelized for it and good critical notices. Elsewhere in this discussion Jared Harris's role in Foundation has been mentioned; he's a major, consistent, and excellent fixture in The Terror.

Since they used the book's story already, they made a turn for the series to be an anthology of loosely thematically-similar stories (think American Horror Story). The basic setting of season 2 is Japanese internment during World War II in America, and it's from different writers than the first, and of course isn't adapting the novel anymore. It was much less popular both in terms of viewers and critics.

I'm a little surprised they think the brand still carries enough power to put another original story in there under its name for a season 3. It's also a bit of a double-edged sword: you do get name recognition and some built-in initial audience, but you're also taking on expectations and baggage from the original. This is a factor in season 2's tepid reception, and there have been other similar attempts to slide something unrelated in under an existing banner that backfired: True Detective Night Country comes to mind.

The heading above that:

"There is an ongoing incident that will force issuance to be halted."

Feels like they were alerted to some current problem severe enough that "turn it off now" was the right move. Breaking the baseline requirements somehow maybe?

I would say there's a couple aspects.

The crawlers for the big famous names in AI are all less well behaved and more voracious than say, Googlebot. Though this is all somewhat muddied by companies that ran the former "good" crawlers all also being in the AI business and sometimes trying to piggyback on people having allowed or whitelisted their search crawling User-Agent, mostly this has settled a little where they're separating Googlebot from GoogleOther, facebookexternalhit from meta-externalagent, etc. This was an earlier "wave" of increased crawling that was obviously attributable to AI development. In some cases it's still problematic but this is generally more manageable.

The other stuff, the ones that are using every User-Agent under the sun and a zillion datacenter IPs and residential IPs and rotate their requests constantly so all your naive and formerly-ok rate-based blocking is useless... that stuff is definitely being tagged as "for AI" on the basis of circumstantial evidence. But from the timing of when it seemed to start, the amount of traffic and addresses, I don't have any problem guessing with pretty high confidence that this is AI. To your question of "who are the customers"... who's got all the money in the world sloshing around at their fingertips and could use a whole bunch of scraped pages about ~everything? Call it lazy reasoning if you'd like.

How much this traces back ultimately to the big familiar brand names vs. would-be upstarts, I don't know. But a lot of sites are blocking their crawlers that admit who they are, so would I be surprised to see that they're also paying some shady subcontractors for scrapes and don't particularly care about the methods? Not really.

It's the former Tumblr CEO. Technically a promotion from within but he was a recent hire as CFO.

On my 9 you get a setting to choose if holding Power gets you the power menu or activates the assistant (I think it defaulted to assistant? I have it set to the power menu because I don't really ever use the assistant.)

Yes, that was the default for me, but I changed it in settings.

It actually is Noctalia; mistake in the HN title.
