There are no changes to the nbn wholesale pricing of these speed tiers arising from the speed increases.

Interesting, but how will this affect the price for end users? There are other fees charged to the ISPs too?

I am suspicious because NBNco only mentions wholesale pricing in this article, not end user pricing. They would have modelled it and then chosen not to talk about it. They might not technically be the entity finally billing you, but they're responsible for strong and direct impacts on what users pay.

It's a gorgeous game experience. Not to mention they put so many other gamedevs to shame with their technical accomplishments (especially in the expansion -- flooding waves in a ringworld!).

Don't look up spoilers. Get yourself a copy and play it. Find somewhere to land your spaceship :)

Ditto three. Pages hanging too.

Lots of gastro cases in NSW the last few weeks, maybe server has it too. Make sure to take plenty of fluids.

 

Most of the Parramatta station turnstile gates have been turned off (no lights, fully open) and there was a staff member in union shirt near them. Some people were queuing next to the few working ones on the side (newer model, maybe they can't turn them off?).

I would recommend rinsing the vinegar away with water instead. It's already completely dissolved, but the baking powder might not be if you add that undissolved. You don't want to leave anything behind.

Girls can't wear pants... is this the 1950's? Absolutely awful

Atomic wafers made by the techo-church-state? Or have I got this back to front and this is how the non-technical society irradiates its children?

Comedy prediction: SD2 releases overseas, but Australia is used to sell remaining stocks of SD1s for a few years before the SD2 is released here.

The whole thing is vaguely and noncomittally worded, it promises basically nothing.

Take this bit for example:

taking into account the EULAs of specific games within it

In other words: talk to the individual publishers of each game and get their permission :P At which point GOG's involvement is almost irrelevant, if you have the publisher's consent then they might as well give you a copy.

I would assume that court orders and proved wills have different levels of coercion when you present them to someone like GOG? Dunno. Each country probably has its own rules, including fun complexities like whether or not GOG was a party to the process or not.

Wait a second... if the AI was trained to think that blue flags lie down and red flags are windswept, then what are the biases of the footage was it trained on?

A good sign - the company behind the show does appear to hire "Documentalist"s, which I assume means they put some effort into historical accuracy. The video itself has a much longer credits list for them.

The company's about page claims they use historical footage, but make no mention about re-enactment footage (that I suspect they use, but I might be very wrong).

The video's credits have lots about archive sources. At a cursory glance I can't see anything about re-enactment.

Maybe it is all real footage? Perhaps I'm just imagining that some is re-enactment? But some of it seems like it would be really weird to have a camera there and people acting that way. IDK, I wish the program made it clear-cut for me.

 

Watching this now live on SBS. It's very confusing.

I cannot tell when actual footage is being used (AI colourised + cleaned up) or when it is re-enactments that have been re-colourised similarly to match. The program actively seems to not want me to be able to tell the difference.

It can't possibly be all based on period footage. There is too much in too high of quality and resolution.

Most (but not all of it) has had its framerate increased to be smooth, so I can't use that as a hint.

Sometimes the soldiers wave at the camera and the footage is a bit lower in quality. Other times they ignore the camera and look more like actors, but I can't be certain.

Some of the equipment looks wrong period (gasmasks) but I can't be sure. I really want to know now (I guess that means its a successful program in some ways). EDIT: Looks like the gasmask is legit!

Never thought watching a program on the SBS would unsettle me as much as this. I've seen AI colourised and interpolated footage, but not mixed with (what I think is) re-enactments in a way designed to stop you telling the differences.

EDIT: It's hard to find info about this show, it has a generic name and looks like it was only released this year.

 

All buses diverted a long way around to the station, lots of buses lined up. Road closed.

(Do you guys want me posting stuff like here, or is it a waste of your time?)

 

Announcements say the delays are "Indefinite" and sometimes is calling it a police op at Redfern.

 

The new theme seems deadset on replacing content with whitespace, driving my father in particular mad (he's having more luck finding Australian news on DW than the ABC right now; and he is sore that he has to hunt for the "Science" news category now in menus).

Not sure how long they'll keep the ?future=x flag available, but for now it gives you about double the number of articles per page.

I can't find a official message from the RTBU (their website is out of date, nothing seems public on facebook and twitter refuses me access unless I create an account).

 

8PM (right now) +/- 10 hours

Better call the tiberium harvester back in.

Encountered this fellow during bushcare today. He was sitting right on top of the bridal veil roots we were pulling, looking suspiciously like a rock.

We probably shouldn't have handled him (I hope turtles don't get dizzy from being turned upside down). We put him back down and hid him under some other groundcover as a local Kookaburra was loitering.
