Dual layer Blu-Ray is 100GB, old PS1 games used to ship on many disks (looking at you FF7 and FF8).


It’s kinda insane how far you can get in life with generational wealth.
No skill, all luck, eh?
There’s smart washing machines now that automatically sense what is inside of them by weight and color and wash accordingly.
I just used one, it did everything in 51 minutes, minus folding. Amazing.


Y’know, I was writing an antagonist for a short story and I couldn’t come up with anything as contrived as the real prime evil motivator. 🤷♂️
Meatwagon is right. The content is where the creators are, and they’ve all left Reddit; myself included.

Well, the original Li-Ion batteries by John Goodenough are Goodenough
We just need a Dr. John BetterBatteryMan for solid battery tech



I was sliding it back and forth as fast as I could, because I didn’t understand the puzzle at first, but then I saw there’s an sorting optimization puzzle and thought that I was clever only to find out it’s tedium.
Halfway through (or so I thought at move 80), I was just curious to see how ridiculously long the puzzle could be, shifting pieces back and forth
So the answer was: I thought the puzzle was easy, and I was humbled, and stubborn.
I solved it and wasted time, and used that time to warn others to not bother with the puzzle
I thought I was clever, it took me 300 moves with only 8 disks.
Literally just easier to pick up the entire pile and move it over, or rotate the entire game and say Tower #1 is Tower #3 now.
1998-1999 had historically low oil prices and pretty fantastic economic prosperity. Not as good as the post-war recovery period, but shit was looking up in a hurry.
One of the best times to be alive


What the actual fuck is this
I love electric cars, prefer them over gasoline, but a Ferrari should look like a Ferrari
The chassis/vision design concept artist should be moved to a different division…


Yeah. I quit when a green floor item was a higher light level than the legendary yellow emperor launcher.
It was so liberating to just… uninstall and never look back, lol
Deconstructing the premise from first principles:
except the healthy and truthful facts stand doesn’t and never did exist.
• False: Bodies of recorded objective facts such as encyclopedia and scientific papers exist.
If it did it would be simple to train a healthy and truthful facts AI, you would simply train it off from the truthful and healthy facts.
• Logical fallacy: Assuming the antecedent, the first premise must be proved before a conclusion can be drawn.
but everyone makes up their own narrative until all written word appear relative to the AI, making it impossible for the ai to tell fact from fiction.
• Opinion. Artificial intelligence is designed to reproduce patterns. If you presume your prior premise was true, a “facts trained” AI should in theory have been able to distinguish truth from falsehood.
When you read “slop” you are simply reading the words of someone who doesn’t live in in your constructed narrative.
• Conflation: “Slop” is a pejorative term for all content generated by artificial intelligence, but particularly low quality, sloppy, one.
And now to prove it I will have plenty of down votes on this comment.
• Logical fallacy: Strawman. Constructing a poor argument in order to prove it is, itself false, at best, a waste of time.
Overall truth value: 16.17% (Mostly misleading/inflammatory comment)


Would you change your opinion about AI for $400,000?


Damn, they’re scrapping UFOs now for their high purity steel (/s)


I just need AV2 to not blow chunks on VR/Streaming.
AV1 is currently hamstrung by decode compute costs, I’m sending 6K video @ 120 FPS and at 200 Mbits (25 MB/s) it looks like pea soup.
At 400-500 Mbps (62.5 MB/s), you have twice as much network overhead but somehow H.264 still decodes faster even though it’s twice as much raw data per second.
For straight up video file compression, AV1 seems to be absolutely unmatched if you use “peak framerate” (say 120) and then VFQ / variable quality set to like 35.
I was able to convert a 900 MB (!!) H264 video of VR gameplay (6K across, 3K/eye!) into 96 MB, and slide right under Discord’s idiotic 100 MB limit.
