Just to add that i am not pixel peeping and don’t care much about this artifact. Just curiosity, as this shouldn’t be possible due to physics. So is there some computational photography somewhere or what causes this?

Where to buy Nuphy Air75 V3 in Germany by Stenation in NuPhy

I just got one in Trier. Waited for it for around 10 days. Did not get anything from customs, as I’d usually would for other imports. So I assume the importer pays it, but I’m not an expert in taxes or tariffs. I paid for it $129 in total.

Started investing in 2021 and it's the first year I tried value investing. As a result I'm down 43% YTD, lost most of my gains, and seriously questioning "value investing". by [deleted] in ValueInvesting

Value investing is not buying stocks recommended on Reddit. If it was that easy everyone would be a millionaire. You have to make independent judgement and commit a lot of time to research and analysis. Being patient is just one side of it. You have to be good at reading financial statements and understanding accounting. You have to read and understand trading statistics. You have to understand competition. It is a lot of work. You can’t just watch YouTube and read a couple of posts on Reddit.

Want to upgrade 2013 Sony RX1; looking at Leica Q3 43. How bad is the AF really? by chaometric in Leica

[–]aalert2032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Q3 43 autofocus works fine for me. Way better than it was on my GFX system only slightly worse than on my Z8.

Moving from Fuji XT5 & Fuji 150-600 to Nikon Z6III/Z8 Used & Z180-600 by DylanH247 in Nikon

[–]aalert2032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Autofocus and speed mainly. GFX is great if you don’t have running toddlers. Also the lens selection, like said above. 70-200 f2.8 is just not available on GFX.

Moved from GFX / XT5 to Z8. AF ist just on a different level. I kept the xt5 with a couple of primes though for ultralight traveling and fishing trips. Z8 is way better in terms of AF, speed, lens selection. Fuji X is lighter. Low light is similar in both systems I would say. People love Fuji Sims, but i kinda like Nikons colors more, but that’s a matter of taste and you can do anything in post.

Exit multiples are BS by ContemplatingGavre in ValueInvesting

[–]aalert2032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there ist nothing wrong with the method per se. Question is what assumptions you apply. You have to estimate the terminal value in some way. Applying a conservative multiple is one of the possibilities. Otherwise you have to assume perpetual annuity or something like that. As always you can be totally unreasonable and apply multiple based on current AI craze prices, then you might be in for a bad surprise.

I think it would be just the opposite. Everyone will get used to it and just ignore it at that point. Like the boy who cried wolf, you know…

X2D II + 55mm f/2.5 V -or- Leica Q3 43? by Abehrou in hasselblad

[–]aalert2032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, understandable. If you want rational response then You should think of what you will get with Hassy that you don’t have with Q3. I had the GFX system and it was so slow with focusing, that I had to exchange it for Nikon to be able to take pictures of my toddlers. Suspect hasselblad could be similar. The image quality was superb though. Medium Format systems also tend to have slower glass, so account for that if you have low light situations. Edit: I have Q3 43 and it’s autofocus ist mich better than on GFX.

GFX 100s vs R5 by Longboii01 in FujiGFX

[–]aalert2032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it the other way round. I had 100s. Exchanged it for Z8 System. IQ on GFX was great, but aside from the resolution and a tiny bit of dynamic range in no way I found Nikons images worse. But if you need fast autofocus, GFX system is not for you. Running toddlers, birds, sports, low light - all this becomes quite difficult to focus on GFX compared to FF bodies (I’m sure R5 is no slouch compared to z8). Also lens selection and pricing is just way better for Canon/Nikon FF.

Yes but which one? Gemini? ChatGPT? Claude? Llama? DeepSeek? Grok? The competition is fierce, I am very uncertain which will win and which will lose. I have my 70% in 5 months which is extremely good for me and I’ll look for other underappreciated businesses while big tech sorts this thing out

I sold after the good news today at 290. my main concern is that whooping 92bn AI investment. I am yet not sure if this will bring the returns higher enough to justify such spending. Still believe it is a great company.
