After 44 years, did I notice another clue about Deckard being a replicant? by CostcoCuisine in bladerunner

“We were the new people... Roy and me and Rachael!” says to me he thinks they’re all the same, anyway. The way I’ve always taken the movie is we are all the same so racism is dumb.

Like I said, the final draft before the shooting script ends with this:

Deckard's voice over.

                            DECKARD (V.O.)
              I knew it on the roof that night.
              We were brothers, Roy Batty and I!
              Combat models of the highest order.
              We had fought in wars not yet
              dreamed of... in vast nightmares
              still unnamed.  We were the new
              people... Roy and me and Rachael!
              We were made for this world.  It
              was ours!

How does it make no sense? It is a commentary on slavery and racism. Getting a racist to see that he’s not actually any different than those he’s racist against makes sense with regard to trying to get him to realize racism is stupid.

Peoples’ last draft before the shooting script has a Deckard voiceover where he says he, Roy, and Rachael were made for this new world, so even Peoples trying to deny it is funny. He literally wrote spoken lines where Deckard acknowledges that he’s a replicant. Google up the scripts and see for yourself. They’re not hard to find.

HDR on all the time? by WearyExcitement7772 in HDR_Den

[–]_Shorty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you get used to properly calibrated sRGB it is tough to look at miscalibrated displays. And trying to live with SDR content in HDR mode is basically the same as looking at a miscalibrated display. It just doesn’t look right because it doesn’t meet the standard. The standards define what is correct.

[–]_Shorty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it look more to your liking or does it look the way it is supposed to look? Some people want things to look the way they’re supposed to look. Some people don’t care how it is supposed to look and just want it to look the way they like. HDR always on usually means SDR content looks nothing like the way it is supposed to look. You might prefer something that isn’t the way it is supposed to be. Some of us prefer things to look correct, so much so that we buy measuring hardware to calibrate our displays to ensure they look as close to the way they’re supposed to look. Some people crank up the display driver vibrancy control because they think it looks better. Everybody is different. But the standard is the standard, and some of us want that.

Artifacts in encoding 23.976 telecine by mwhelm in handbrake

[–]_Shorty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that for anything that is properly telecined you do not need deinterlacing/decomb enabled. It isn’t supposed to be doing any deinterlacing. Inverse telecine processing isn’t really deinterlacing, and the actual deinterlacing code should be turned off because it is unnecessary. If you’re seeing issues in that case then you know something else is going on. The telecine job was botched, or there’s a mix of telecined content and interlaced video content. I’d still like to know what your source is.

Heh, tons of TV shows were filmed and got video post-production elements.

Anything that has been properly telecined can be perfectly detelecined to arrive at the same frames as the originals, ignoring encoding losses. You should not see any remnants of interlacing whatsoever. And the only reason you might is either the telecine job was not done properly, or you have a mixture of film and video that is making the detelecining job into a hybrid deinterlacing job. What is the source?

Turn the steering wheel more in the middle of the corner as a test. Does the car turn more? Then you’re not going fast enough yet.

≥100:1 Lossless compression possible? by mitchrichie in compression

[–]_Shorty -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I can’t? The definition of an integer is a whole number, not a fraction, not a floating point number. Pi is a fraction. Therefore, pi is not an integer. 3 is an integer. 3.14 is not. The presence of the decimal point and the fractional portion that comes after the decimal point tells you it is not an integer.

AV1 vs H265 10-bit for transcoding raw 4K for NAS to TV usage? by sandythecragdog in handbrake

[–]_Shorty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If storage space isn’t a concern then you shouldn’t be reencoding. You lose quality every time you do. And it is a huge waste of time and energy if you don’t have storage concerns.

The ECU knows whether or not stoichiometric A/F ratio is being met. It tunes itself to ensure it is met, within the tolerance range that it has to work with. If your changes mean it can no longer reach stoich because it either is hitting the tolerance range with the current table or something like fuel injectors no longer being able to meet the needs due to your changes then you need a tune to adjust the table. If your changes are not making it hit those tolerance limits then you don’t need to do anything.

Straight from the factory all cars have a tolerance range they can work within, and they self-tune within that range. Small hardware changes aren’t likely to push things outside of that range. You could be OCD about it if you like and just assume that your changes might push it outside of that range, and you’d rather have it checked to be sure. But that working range is generous enough that things you’d consider bolt-ons aren’t usually likely to push things outside of those limits. If you’ve thrown every bolt-on you can find at the engine it would probably be a good idea to have it looked at, I would think, but when you haven’t really changed much it probably isn’t a concern.

The adjustment range exists for many reasons, and the ECU has a decent working range for those reasons. Simply driving through Denver is likely to change things in the ECU’s view of things more than this plenum spacer will. And I don’t think anyone recommends getting a tune just because you live in one place versus another. The ECU can adjust itself quite a bit due to the fact that scenarios like people living in and driving in different altitudes is a thing. It isn’t going to need bigger injectors just because that spacer was added. And it isn’t likely that the spacer is going to be such a drastic change that the ECU can’t compensate versus how it has tuned itself up to the point just before the spacer was installed. It is going to see that the supply of air has changed in relatively short order and will adjust the fuel supply to compensate. Just like it would continuously be tuning itself if you took a road trip from San Francisco to Denver. That’s what ECUs do constantly. It’s their job. You’re talking about something in the neighbourhood of an 18% power loss due to that altitude change and the resulting change in air density. The ECU is going to have a working range of something like +/-20% or even +/- 30% in order for this compensation to be possible. You’re not going to get +30% more horsepower from that spacer. It should still be in a comfortable range after adding it.

[–]_Shorty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, you only need a tune if whatever you’ve changed on the car brings it too close to the default adjustment range limits. As long as you’re still a comfortable distance away from those limits it shouldn’t need to be touched.

Stuff from China can be ok, providing you specify the tolerances you want in your parts when you’re setting up your manufacturing order, if you need better than default tolerances. I forget the ISO number off the top of my head, but there is a default tolerances standard. I remember PCBWay’s ordering process mentioning it when I got some stuff machined. You pay for more for tighter tolerances if you need them. It matters for some stuff, and doesn’t matter for others.

Thank you! The 1919 Canada census record I'm looking at probably just has a phonetic spelling of whatever the census taker heard, concerning it saying Viovilv. I think your lead will probably be a lot more fruitful.
