but there’s definitely something weird about the video

Sure. Recorded at 24fps and interpolated to 60fps. Lots of weird shit can happen with motion interpolation.

Wow I knew the circuit wasn’t up to FIA Grade 1, but it’s really let itself go since Formula 1 stopped racing there.

(Seriously though this looks beautiful.)

Ad-free subscription services that actually benefit the creators are exceedingly rare.

Believe it or not, YouTube Premium is one of them. A Premium view is worth more than an ad-supported view to a creator.

(Obviously Patreon is better, as they can’t make a living off of only Premium views because it’s a smaller group; the population of ad-supported users is much much larger. But YouTube Premium does benefit the creators more than ad-supported YouTube does.)

Society is a pendulum and progress always comes with backsliding. It will get better again. It always does. It might get darker first though.

You’re misunderstanding.

20 years from now, no one will admit to having voted for him.

I genuinely cannot understand this “controversy” over the rebrand in any context other than manufactured outrage as a distraction from Epstein and Russia and occupying DC and every other horrible thing. Or manufactured outrage to bring attention to the brand, as I suspect the American Eagle Sydney Sweeney shit was.

Good thing Sauber is becoming Audi next season. That’s a lot of money for a title sponsor to lose (and it sounds like they deserve to lose it).

This issue was great. It gave me an excuse to upgrade to a better SSD, which also gave me an excuse to try Linux for the first time in like a decade (other than the Steam Deck). Threw Nobara on the drive that Windows would murder. Haven’t had time to play around with it much, but I’m excited to try it.

Even if the headline weren’t misleading, I wouldn’t be shocked if they have a hard time getting telemetry reports from failed drives from users if the OS is installed on said drive.

Then again, a modern OS should be able to phone home with a crash report as it crashes depending on what has failed, so I guess I’ve talked myself out of that hypothetical lack of shock.

So…disregard this. 😅

It’s not that computationally intensive to upscale frames. TVs have been doing it algorithmically for ages and looking good doing it. Hell, nVidia graphics cards can do it for every single frame of high end games with DLSS. Calling it “AI” because the type of algorithm it’s using is just cashing in on the buzzword.

(Unless I’m misunderstanding what’s going on.)

I feel like that should’ve already been a given when the 13th and 14th gen Core processors permanently kneecap themselves if they feel like it. But that’s just me.

Because Peter Thiel likes him.

I dunno, if it were Hbomberguy talking about YouTube plagiarism for four hours I’d watch it.

the end being neigh and all

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him, and the horse said, “the end is neigh!”

(Neigh is what a horse says. The end is nigh. 😉)

Not an issue for us (Ford Escape), the heat and AC can both run off the battery, but the heat does cost a bit of range (along with chemical inefficiency at cold temperature), so range is significantly better in the summer than the winter.

Yeah, in the summer we get around 40 EV miles, if we avoid freeways. I do love the car.

She lost to Trump. She should consider never running for anything ever again. That should be career-ending.

Why would you have any range anxiety? A plug in hybrid eliminates that.

It’s not real range anxiety. It’s “can we make it without using gas” range anxiety. When we first got the car, and hadn’t yet taken it on any long trips, we were anal about trying to maximize our “lifetime” gas mileage for the vehicle. We had it up over 200mpg at one point! But that meant trying to find chargers everywhere.

(After a few long trips tanked that value down to something more reasonable, we don’t care as much. I still try to charge whenever I can though.)

Yeah, we got a PHEV in 2022 and we love it. I do wish it had a bit more EV range, I end up with range anxiety driving to my in-laws’ in the next city over, but otherwise it’s fantastic.
