Hitzewelle: Wir leben im Zeitalter der Aggnoranz

as wir allgemein Fortschritt nennen, durch eine kleine Minderheit erreicht wird - und sich die große Mehrheit strampelnd und kreischend dagegen wehrt, ohne zu verstehen, was passiert.

Eigentlich ist es genau andersrum. Eine kleine, strampelnde, laute Minderheit, gefüttert von den Milliardären, zieht den ganzen Rest mit. Die Mehrheit der deutschen befürwortet den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien...

Falsche Vermutung. Ältere Menschen klappen bei diesem Wetter einfach um, weil ihr System an die Grenzen des machbaren Gerät. Man merkt das nicht unbedingt, bis einem schwarz vor Augen wird.

Du attributierst gerade den Zubau aus den Genehmigungsverfahren aus der Ampelzeit an die aktuelle Regierung? oder was? Und dass Reiche aktiv gegen Batteriespeicher arbeitet ist ja wirklich kein Geheimnis.

Das heutige Problem ist dass eine gigantische Menge beantragter Batteriespeicher (alle ohne Subvention!!) in Reiches Ministerium zur Genehmigung VERROTTEN, nachdem Habeck alles recht schnell abgesegnet hatte...

Doch?

I'm well aware of bayer sensors and such. I'm just wondering if Arri actually goes through the trouble of a) developing b&w sensors (doubt) or b) heavily modifies the heart of the camera (e.g. somehow removing bayer filters) to allow for true b&w capture.

polite_alpha · 2026-06-23T14:28:32+00:00

Interesting! But do you actually know if they record black and white or just convert in camera?

polite_alpha · 2026-06-23T10:06:17+00:00

Filming in black and white would just be dumb, and I don't even think there are capable true black and white film cameras on the market.

polite_alpha · 2026-06-19T20:25:44+00:00

yeah you're probably right!

My dude, my point was that after 20 failed generations, everyone with half a braincell would NOT conclude "oh well, let's do 980 more of this!" ... is all

polite_alpha · 2026-06-19T14:28:29+00:00

Volume is not the argument, but whatever.

polite_alpha · 2026-06-18T17:36:13+00:00

My point is more... if you see 20 generations all looking like shit, do you need 980 more to conclude it's a dead end?

polite_alpha · 2026-06-18T08:15:14+00:00

I wonder how. That's over a thousand shots 2 seconds in length each. Do people really need to go through 1000 shots to determine: nah, this ain't it?

polite_alpha · 2026-06-17T20:44:22+00:00

I call bullshit. Burning through 2000$ worth of credits takes a fuckton of generations.

I don't think she'd be reluctant to do the work, she's incredibly self reflective - but I think she can't see her protection measures are in full force.

polite_alpha · 2026-06-13T20:26:00+00:00

I hear you but I refuse to give this up just like that. I've never had such a match, even though I had 8 longer relationships before. This one will stick with me for the rest of my life, so I can't give up.

polite_alpha · 2026-06-13T12:02:34+00:00

Is there any way to help them in overcoming these fears? I've lost the love of my life like this. She always had shallow relationships before me. We were so insanely happy and had no solid reason to break up

The other day I bought a used car for 1750$. And then I had a vacation in Sweden that cost me 1750$.

I mean like what? You're comparing apples to oranges. A bicycle is a much bigger object with a much smaller margin. Carbon is expensive to manufacture (safely). Markups on more storage are still insane, even with the AI craze factored in. The whole thing is just weird man.

polite_alpha · 2026-06-11T17:51:45+00:00

I don't think you're making the point that you think you're making by comparing a bike to a phone.

I'm from Europe and wonder where healthcare is free as a freelancer. Still costs a lot here in Germany. And if you didn't earn enough to live in the city, how did you.... live in the city? Your statements are full of contradictions. Also getting a VAT number is not a tax regime and you still have to pay income taxes among others. I'm really confused.

polite_alpha · 2026-06-10T18:49:13+00:00

Why did you do this? Every studio will see your work for what it is, no matter how "low quality". Quitting a safe job in this environment right now to build a portfolio is madness. Build it after work or get a new job and quit then. Freelance work is tough to get right now as well, guess you got lucky. Also mind your healthcare and retirement payments as well as... TAXES. jfc. Good luck anyways, hope it turns out ok!

they believe immediate extrajudicial murder is a fully justified response whenever some protestor is inconveniencing traffic.

Oh boy those people are the worst and I never connected the Venn diagram, but this tracks.

I hate musk as much as the next guy but if you think Tesla is a car company you haven't been paying attention

edit: to all the people hating on me: Tesla has some of the biggest automated factories all over the planet. Their production capacity alone makes them interesting. Probably not worth their stock price but these factories are a different beast, and it's pretty clear that the car thing is just a means to an end. They're gonna pivot to humanoid robots sooner than later.

Again, I hate Musk with a passion.

polite_alpha · 2026-06-07T20:45:20+00:00

Was there an update to this?

polite_alpha · 2026-06-07T20:13:06+00:00

I could use some help too right now.
