As a DBA I'll say not any time soon, if at all. I play with ChatGPT with various scenarios & while it can be a real time saver for writing SQL & helping find issues, I'm amazed at the amount of mistakes it keeps making and that it misses.

You all clearly missed the (for arguments sake) sake part in my comment and it seems to be causing undue stress among some, so I'll delete the post..

It doesn't - it's impossible - like a petapixel camera with resolution that good.. It's just a fun thought experiment, nothing more.

This discussion reminds me of a thought experiment I posted on a different board awhile back - where you (for arguments sake) have a super-duper zoom camera positioned 6 light seconds out from earth, aimed at your house, and is equipped with a 10 petapixel sensor and a quantum entangled remote...

Thanks for the reply, I was mistaken the images I took were on the 8th July, and the visible spots in my image match up more or less with this archived image from the site you linked: Although the larger spot on the left is lower than in my images, which I am assuming is due to the time of day...

I was editing a timelapse I did of a sunset this summer with my Pentax K70, using 18-270mm lens at full zoom, using raw photos. At first I thought I had a speck on the lens when I saw a spot on the left side about the middle, then I noticed it stayed on the sun as it went down. Then I noticed...

I've reverted back to just having the Corsi-Rosenthal box server as an air cleaner. My 4 sided Corsi-Rosenthal box with a vessel of water in it & a foam element (from a furnace humidifier) standing in it did not evaporate water at a rate high enough, at least not compared to my stand alone...

I may buy a foam filter like my current evaporative humidifier uses, only larger and set it in the bowl of water and see if/how much that accelerates the evaporation. My current humidifier goes through about 1.5 to 2 gallons in a 24 hour period to keep our bedroom above 40%, so I could compare...

Last winter I built a corsi-rosenthal box filter to help clean air in the house, I built it 5 sides with 20"x20" merv 13 rated filters. I was impressed with how well it worked, and am implementing two of them this winter. We have 2 dogs & 2 cats so pet dander as well as dust can build up a lot...

Thanks, I need something to read at night as the days get shorter!

I live on a lake, and have for almost 3 decades now. Every year I watch shoreline changes, from year to year and shorter timespans, sometimes just days. The lake is large in surface area at 236 km2 (91 sq mi), but with an average depth of only 28' probably relatively small in volume for its...

When I watch the shadow of one frame by frame, it shortens as it climbs a ridge, then lengthens once over it, then lengthens as it approaches the edge of the daylight. Doing this with a 3D globe & a flashlight would be doable though, if set up correctly. Mimicking the atmospheric distortion &...

True that, I have an old photograph somewhere of a white sturgeon doing a full breech on the surface of a river. Care to calculate what the odds are of me having my camera aimed at that particular spot at that particular time on one of the longest rivers in the nation, and catching a fish...

Watching it frame by frame, forward & reverse with contrast turned up & zoomed in. Adding a moving object to a video with a shadow is quite doable with most editing programs. Having the shadow mimic how a real shadow would act on the 3 dimensional surface below it is another thing, at least to...

Doing that now, downloaded a 1080 version of it and looking at it closer in Resolve 16
