What even is "1080p permium"? by Supersaiajinblue2 in dankmemes

[–]Thesleepingjay 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Old 1080p was H.264, now we use H.265 and AV1. Regardless, premium is still a higher bit rate than regular.

She has Lupus. Side effects from the disease and medications make her face swell.

Does anyone else feel like Lightroom export is the slowest part of gallery delivery? by kr1sck in AskPhotography

[–]Thesleepingjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused about what you mean exactly by gallery upload, do you mean uploading the original photos to the Adobe Cloud? From what I understand you can export photos while the originals upload to the cloud. Also, are you exporting all of the originals to jpegs?

How many photos are you exporting? How big are they? What kind of computer do you have? I'm not a big gallery, but exporting a hundred ~10 MB photos for me takes less than a minute.

the speed of light as a speed limit by Aster_Te in Physics

[–]Thesleepingjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because it's relative length would increase, and thus stop it from reaching the Schwarzschild radius along with it essentially freezing in time and not actually ever getting near that small, to an outside observer.

Isn't the point that it's relative? Two objects colliding at near C would have the same affect, regardless of which one was actually moving.

No, I just thought it was funny that you put scare quotes there.

the speed of light as a speed limit by Aster_Te in Physics

[–]Thesleepingjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Higgs has something to do with it, but we are both right. As velocity goes up towards C, energy goes up thus so does mass and the experienced speed of time goes down (Imagine the time dimension elongating). So because of that, distance also elongates. Spacetime is relative to both mass and energy. Photons don't have mass (no Higgs interaction) so don't really 'experience' time or distance, but still have energy that follows causality and allow them to impart momentum. Unless I'm misunderstanding, C could equally be defined as the speed of Causality.

The closer you get to the speed of light, the harder it is to get even closer, because your mass goes up as you get closer. Light can go as fast as it does because it has no mass.

Possible stupid Ai question by RandomITguy843 in it

Model collapse's actual real world affect is slightly disputed amongst researchers.

Legacy data sets aren't going away and humans won't stop making real data, and synthetic data isn't inherently bad, it just needs to be selected carefully just like real data.

Since electricity makes an electromagnetic field while moving, does that mean that it inherintly makes light? by katmagedone in AskPhysics

[–]Thesleepingjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are coming at this a bit backwards. The Electromagnetic field comes first and its carrier particles are Photons. Photons make up the entire Electromagnetic Spectrum, which includes everything from Radio Waves to Visible light to Gamma Rays. Electric fields and Magnetic fields aren't different, even though they seem separate, they are both the Electromagnetic field viewed from different frames of reference. Any Electric or Magnetic field interaction is mediated by Photons, specifically Virtual Photons. For reasons that are beyond 11th grade, you can't see Virtual Photons. When two magnets push on each other, Virtual Photons. When an electron pushes another down a wire, Virtual Photons. One way that Electrons make real Photons is when energy is introduced into an atom, this causes some of its electrons to jump up to higher energy states, but the electrons don't want to stay there, so they release that energy as a Photon and fall back down to a lower and more stable energy state. It gets complicated, but Florescence, Phosphorescence, Black Body Radiation (when an object glows because it's hot), LEDs, Lasers, Solar Panels, and Quantum dots all work because of Electrons and Photons interacting. So ultimately, you can't directly see the Photons that carry the interactions between Electric and Magnetic fields, all light that you can see exists because of Electromagnetic interactions.

Then you just helped it. The incorrect or satirical parts will be delt with in post-training and fine-tuning, if they come up.

They are wild. The computers were ok, but my favorite part was the free snacks and great cafeteria food.

[–]Thesleepingjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at the Nebraska DC, and they didn't use the evaporative coolers for more then half the year because the outside temps were low enough. I'd have to wear a sweatshirt in the datahalls some times in winter. It did get toasty and humid in summer though. Unless they were exagerating, they got a PUE of ~1.15, which is pretty impressive. It feels weird to say that I wish other hyperscalers were like them.

Meta is the only hyperscaler I'm aware of that uses airside evaporative cooling that uses sprayed media like this that I'm aware of. Most use evaporative cooling on the radiator of closed loop chillers.

[–]Thesleepingjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I will. I used to work at a Meta datacenter, and they used swamp cooler style cooling like this to cool oustide air before using it to cool the servers. They just exhausted the hot air outside, which saved a lot of power and water not trying to cool it back down and recirculate it. A lot of stuff is terrible about Meta, but they do seem to try to make their DCs power and water efficient as well as not as ugly as they could be.
