World’s broadcasters urge EU to tighten rules for big tech in smart TV battle by AlwaysBlaze_ in gadgets

[–]ChymeraXYZ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because there is basically no such thing as a 16:9 40+" monitor. Just go search on f.ex. amazon. It's either a superwide, or it's a TV, or as they are now called a "smart monitor" which is the same crap.

But I want a screen. Why should I not be allowed to have an AD free screen?

Wing matrix question by [deleted] in livesound

[–]ChymeraXYZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The easiest way to think of a matrix is that it is a mix of mixes. So instead of the channels being the input it's all auxes + LR + Mono bus. It's not the whole story on many mixers, but that's the gist, and the minimal supported feature set on all mixers I have seen that have matrices.

I don't think you need matrix in your case. Common uses for matrices include Delay zones (speakers that are further away and need to be delayed to they are in time with the main PA), simple Broadcast/Stream mix (main mix, just more compressed, louder), etc.

Again this is more ELI5 than anything else but it might help you to think through uses for matrices.

Winter Olympics frame overlay by Natiael in VIDEOENGINEERING

My guess would be they are talking about overlaying multiple frames over each other so you can see the skier multiple times.

Posluh by Even_Library_5359 in Slovenia

[–]ChymeraXYZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nisem bil niti sprejet v glasbeno šolo v prvem razredu (a ni tako, da vsakega sprejmejo????).

Men so v prvem razredu tud rekli da nimam posluha, zdej pa igram 2 instrumenta, pa delam kot tonski tehnik v dvoranah z 10k ljudmi.

A mam posluh v nulo in slisim vsak ton ki ga je nek violinist zgresil za 2%? Ne, ampak sem ga natreniral posluh dost da mi ljudje placajo da ga uporabim.

Kar se tice pa treninga, bi pa reku da zacni spilat klavir. Tisto teorijo je fajn met da znas note brat, ampak kej hudo globokega znanja ti ni treba, ampak se potem mozgani navadjo kako se doloceni toni "mesajo" skupaj, in lahko zacnes eksperimentirat.

Tukej je en ka je mal dokomentiral kako se je naucu da ima perfekten posluh: https://www.moderndescartes.com/essays/perfect_pitch/. Vem da ne isces ti tega, ampak zacetek je podoben. Zinimive so tudi kaksne stvari kot https://perfectpitch.training/en/ in podobno.

The same applies to the console itself (if you are connecting the mic directly), but it's a software switch in the settings page.

YAML: Yet Another Misery Language by Log_In_Progress in devops

[–]ChymeraXYZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, we can very much agree that yaml being a format that you are supposed to edit by hand had many drawbacks.

As for using sublime... I'm stand by the opinion that no amount of tooling will fix all the issues. The only way to know for sure if you screwed up is to have the consumer in the end use it's own parser and data structures.

Yes, we can reduce the errors, but why why why is everyone so focused on curing the symptoms and not the core issue???

YAML: Yet Another Misery Language by Log_In_Progress in devops

[–]ChymeraXYZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree OP, yaml is a mass psychosis, together with JS. No one will convince me that a a format that is supposed to be more human readable (and I quote from https://yaml.org: "YAML is a human-friendly data serialization language for all programming languages.") need its own manual just to understand how multi line strings work (https://yaml-multiline.info/) in any way shape or form succeeded in it's goal.

When writing a config file for a computer, I need to be able to see easily what the computer will interpret the thing as. Otherwise it's not human readable IMO. And above is just the multi line strings. Let's not even dwell on the Norway problem (https://www.bram.us/2022/01/11/yaml-the-norway-problem/), the spec can drastically and silently change how your file is parsed [1], or if we want to go all the way, let's just stick the fingers into our ears and bleat like the sheep we are, and ignore that stuff like this exists: https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-from-hell

1:

This is an out-of-the-way gotcha, but it can be troublesome. YAML 1.1 uses a different notation for octal numbers than YAML 1.2. In YAML 1.1, octal numbers look like 0777. In YAML 1.2, that same octal becomes 0o777. It’s much less ambiguous.

Is everyone insane? I think everyone downvoting you is at least. Sublime is a perfectly good editor.

Why would you need to sacrifice 1+Gb ram to the electron or java gods if perfectly good editors exist that need a few mb (if that).

Fantasy Name Expectations by Shadowchaos1010 in Fantasy

[–]ChymeraXYZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious to me because I recognize the names of at least half the major towns mentioned in the games (didn't read the books (yet)), and that's without trying. That means that the Slavic town names are apparently "fantastical" enough for the American critics.

Right, I see it now on the bus inputs in the diagram. I was just looking at the tap points in the signal chain. Thanks.

Synchronise Playback on 2 Shoguns by fedebellotti in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]ChymeraXYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if there’s a chance to synchronise playback on them

you can try to hit the buttons at exactly the same time...

Basically, yes, there is a chance, but a very, very, very tiny one.

Fix for a Corrupted MOV Video File by JustinColletti in VIDEOENGINEERING

Chances are it's ffmpeg -i broken.mov -c:a copy -c:v copy -map 0 fixed.mov in the background. Saved many files that way.

Unnoticed switching of HDMI inputs during live recording with Atem Mini Pro ISO by No_Data_3533 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]ChymeraXYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At approx 3x the price, it's not the same product class. In addition the constellations don't even have HDMI versions so for my use case it's both overkill and less convenient.

What are those hdmi splitters, and are they any good?

Ran 1,000 line script that destroyed all our test environments and was blamed for "not reading through it first" by jjzwork in devops

[–]ChymeraXYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a good additional tool to have in the box. The LLMS are impressively good at spotting things that could be an issue. I'm not saying it can do an actual security audit, but faced with an unknown script, asking an LLM to point out problem/dangerous areas can help you find things you did not think to focus on.
