First of all, talking about a photon's experience is weird because when moving at the the speed of light, the transformation equations associated with changing the frame of reference start having infinities appearing within them which makes it impossible to mathematically define things like time elapsed or distance travelled.
Secondly it is a little confusing to talk about of frames of reference but I will try my best to explain.
Assume there are two balls(A and B) in an empty region of spacing moving away from each other at speed of 1m/s. Since there are refrences in the background, we have no idea of both the balls are moving or ball A is the only one moving or ball B is the only one moving. From ball A's perspective, it would seem like ball B is moving away from it while it is stationary. Vice versa for ball B which thinks A is moving while it is stationary. Now let us say that the balls have a way to measure the time elapsed and distance travelled. Now when ball A sees that 10 seconds have passed and that ball B has travelled 10m. To verify this it measures the reading shown by ball B. To its surprise it finds out the reading from B's instruments show that only 8 seconds have and that B travelled only 8m. This is the time dialation and length contraction that happens in special relativity. Till now everything is fine but interesting things start to happen when you switch perspectives. In the frame of reference of B, it measures that 10 seconds has passed and that A has moved 10m in that duration. When it tries to verify these measurements from A's instruments, it finds out that they show that only 8sec have passed and that A has only travelled 8m. Now we are in trouble as these measurements seem incompatible. Not only are the instruments not agreeing with each, other, the instruments don't even agree with themselves depending on the frame. This is eventually resolved by the realisation that the order of events is not the same for all frames. In A's, frame, it seems to B that started measuring late by 2s while from B's frame it seems A started measurements later. Adding this 2 second delay in both frames solves all the measurement inconsistency issues.(The numbers used are random. If you actually calculate the difference in measurements coming from a relative velocity of 1m/s, the differences will be exceeding small)
Now that a basic understanding is out of the way, let us discuss the case of the photon. From our frame of reference, the photon is moving at the speed of light, we can measure with our instruments for how long the photon moved and what was the distance it moved but when we measure using the photon's instruments we see that the clock always shows the same time and no time has lapsed. From the photon's frame, it seems like it is stationary and everything else is moving at the speed of(which is obviously not true. Weird things happen when we try talk of moving at the speed of light beacuse of the infinities I aluded to before) and so while it clock is ticking, the clocks of the world around it seem stopped. So in conclusion while it valid to say that photons experience no time, it is only because we can't go to the photon's frame of reference because physics and math fail us that point.
It is a very long article and the summary will not be able to properly catch the essence of it. Just take some time and read the article it is worth the read
Yeah this is an issue I used to face as well. And it is not limited to your comments. Comments from other people were also collapsed and wouldn't load when expanded. I used to think the comment must have been deleted or removed but then those comments used to load up in the lemmy-ui on my computer and on other lemmy clients like voyager, jerboa, etc.
Actually light does experience time in its own frame of reference. For somebody observing(us in this example) the light or any object that moves at the speed of light in vacuum, it would seem that object is not experiencing time at all, that is, if there was clock on the object and we tried to measure the time that clock reads, it would give the same number as the result of the reading irrespective of when or where we measure it in our frame of reference.
I'm not sure if mobile AMD users have to do the same
No we don't. Mesa and the kernel automatically decide to use the dGPU for intensive tasks. It is only on rare ocassions that I have to use the DRI_PRIME=1 to force the use of the dGPU. It has been months since I last did it
Well the formula 1 article refers to it as a drain cover. It did look more like a cap but since I don't know the technical term, I went with what the official article referred to it as.
If you put a shelf up onto a wall, and then when you load up the shelf the wall falls over. That's not on you.
It is on you if you are the one who designed the shelf and decided to fix it at point of the wall without measuring if the wall could handle the load. It is different matter if you had a carpenter to build and install the shelf. In that it is his/her responsibility to ensure that the wall can handle a loaded shelf. In this case, since FOM are hosting the race, it is completely their responsibility that shit like this does not happen.
It's not bad luck. It is incompetence by FOM resulting in massive damage to a team. People hosting the race(FOM in this case) should be aware of these things and ensure than drain cover failures like these don't happen
People are saying it is morally justified to pirate which is the same conclusion your seemed to have reached. Nobody is saying it is legally justified.
I don't know man. The companies have no respect for us as consumers. Why should we respect them and their copyright in that case.
"justify" stealing it from them.
In many cases, these services stream shows which they did not have a hand in creating but own the distribution rights to. In that case pirating seems like a weak case of stealing to me. The original crew have already been paid and rewarded for their work and now the streaming companies are just storing and streaming that content which is the same thing piracy websites do. On the other hand pirating newer content and content that is platform exclusive because they(HBO, Disney, etc) are the ones that made it seems a lot more like stealing to me. I am not going to feel guilty for pirating shit like friends or Seinfeld. I am also not going to feel guilty for pirating content which has been geoblocked in such a way that it is not available in my country through any legal means.
What I am trying to say with this is that there are situations where piracy is both convenient and justified
Guy pays good money for a 4k tier Netflix subscription because he does not want to pirate. Has a home theatre linux machine because he is worried about the privacy risks of his smart tv and hence doesn't connect his TV to the internet. Finds that he can only get a low bitrate 720p stream on his PC . He is appalled at the fact he isn't getting the quality he paid for and amused at the fact that he would have gotten better quality if he had just pirated and concludes that piracy is just the better experience.
I think the use of valuation at the end helps salvage the meaning a little. Considering titles are supposed to be as short as possible, this was a good attempt
But if you need the help of his code and products, then you should begrudging acknowledge that he is not an idiot. If you truly believe that he is an idiot, you should find a solution to your problem without pulseaudio or systemd because if not you are just an hypocrite.
This is Top tier sarcasm!
