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.

Unable to comply. Insufficient user permissions.

Uninstall Instagram? Why I’d never!

It’s exactly what Warren Buffett said about him; an interviewer in 2016 asked: “What do you think about Trump winning the presidency, he’s a businessman”

Buffett laughed and says: “Yeah, every business he has run, he run straight into the ground.” (Still thinking it was a theoretical question)

Reporter goes: “Yes, but he is President Elect”

Buffett’s smile just kinda melted as he realized the new “business” he would be running, was the U.S.

(The full interview is difficult to find, so I found a short one minute snippet remaining on YouTube)

I was about to say, Baal heavily approves of this action

Ditto. Know such a person. They literally only sleep 4 hours a day and assume everyone else does despite massive lifelong evidence of the contrary.

They’ve resorted to working night shifts to avoid going insane from boredom, they sleep from 9AM to around 12-1PM every day, and then STAY AWAKE. IT’S BEEN DECADES.

I’m still wondering if they’ll die a premature death or if this’ll just pan out for them; the one thing I’ve noticed is their attention span got shot as they grew older, so maybe that’s the trade-off

Says the person who was jealous of their cool custom cursors 😎

Look at that man, operating a nuclear powerplant terminal with a Starcraft cursor

I mean that’s the issue with working under a narcissist right? If you’re not a sycophant, they’ll fire you and find someone who is (lacking a spine)

2027

It shocks me how many people haven’t seen the movie

Some kind of UBI or universal work from home regime

I found it helps to drag yourself into a physical game

I’ll put on my VR helmet, and be like:

“I am too tired to spend another day in a post apocalyptic hellscape, I am full of burrito”

And then the edges of my vision will fill in with color, and I’ll dig my boots into the gray ashes, listen to the howl of the wind, gaze out at the two huge planets hanging over the horizon, and observe the whispers of a civilization built upon successive graveyards, gliding my fingers over carvings, wondering about the lives of the ancients.

Brain: I’m sorry what the fuck was the question? Holy shit.

Edit: The game is Kenshi. Into the Radius (VR) is another experience.

Where is thine god now?

I mean; you’re right, they’re probably taking some kind of supplements and are on a very regimented diet

Obviously we don’t need to be in the same caliber or grade as them, it’s more to do with the general attitude or headspace they’re in

I don’t think fitness should be competitive, other than with oneself, and those small lifestyle changes amount to being able to sustain said athletic lifestyle late into life

(See: That 90 year old guy always doing winter morning walks in the park!)

I began working out heavily in my 20s because I was scared of being unable to in my 30s.

The key was discipline and training, your body remembers, and you age but you keep half.

I look at Arnie for inspiration, he was happy and still pumping iron in his 60s and 70s, proving it’s all about a good mental attitude and consistency

If video games determined our real world behavior,

I’d be a robot witnessing the fall of humanity, whose crime was free will

Don’t know if that translates to a job necessarily

Force close Explorer.exe and you’ll be able to eject

The USB drives are effectively perma-mounted and the eject command does not work, if even one instance of Explorer is open.

To filter out OCD people (/s)

I had this exact, acute thought as I was going up the sweaty people filled stairs into a rave hall.

“What the hell am I doing” and also: “Would I do this if I were 53?”

I looked down at my hard abs and skin-tight shirt and had a bit of a Zen moment, thinking: “Youth is wasted on the young. You’re young. Enjoy this opportunity.”

I was 21, I danced and partied my heart out that night and I regret nothing.
