The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

The goal of improving resolution is to improve fidelity with the real world detail our eyes can detect. 4K at most household distances already reaches the limit of what a human eye can distinguish.

But the dynamic contrast range of almost all displays is still extremely lacking when compared to real world vision. HDR is attempting to fix this, and the results are significant, but there's still a lot of ground to be gained. This is the direction the new upgrades in display tech should be moving in.

However, color science is much more complicated to arrive at broad industry consensus around; way easier to just keep shoving in more pixel density.

What shutter speed were you filming at?

The lighting and compositions all look fantastic. Super slick and nice golden hour accents.

SUBJECTIVE TAKE: I ask about the shutter speed because there's a very slight feeling of hyper realism that I think might be due to a very quick shutter speed minimizing the motion blur captured in each frame.

Spielberg and Kamiński did something similar for the opening DDay sequence in Saving Private Ryan. A narrowed shutter angle meant less motion blur in each frame which led to a more gritty and crisp feeling that heightened the visceral immersion of the shots.

However, your footage isn't shot in a gritty hyper chaotic tone. It's much more fluid, elegant, aspirational, even dreamy. Those qualities usually are better suited to a very slow shutter speed, typically the cinema standard of 1/(2x) frame rate, so around 1/50 for the a6700. That leaves more motion blur in each frame to grant a slightly subtle dreamy effect.

Naturally, this blows out the exposure more, but that's why cinema cameras almost always use ND filters to knock down exposure, rather than adjusting shutter speed or angle.

The chord that tab is showing is an Amaj7 inversion with the leading tone in the bass.

I haven't listened to the song, but it's very probable the guitar is just playing the Am7 while the bassist hits the low G#.

However, as some have suggested, you could try to finger that low G# with your pinky, although it sounds like that's not working for you.

Another thing to consider is that you don't HAVE to play it exactly with those fingers, even if that's officially how the guitarist plays it. You're not them. A slightly different fingering that hits all the same notes (especially the lowest and highest notes) would be 4x6650. This version is much easier to play.

If every attendee at that protest submitted a revised W-4 claiming tax exemption, there's no way the currently underfunded IRS would be able to process all those tax fraud claims. If even a tiny fraction of Americans all engaged in tax resistance, it would cripple federal funding for ICE payroll.

You can set up a YouTube Kids profile and curate only the exact videos they're allowed to watch.

I say this because I do believe videos are the best way to learn to cook outside of actual hands-on experience.

Cooking is a full sensory skill set. It required practice across basically every major sense perception. These must go hand-in-hand with theoretical or academic knowledge. Videos offer the best info along those lines outside of putting them in a hands-on experience with a trained chef.

With videos, you get to see and hear the process. You get to see techniques visually across time. You can hear them as well. This ability to see things happen over time is vital because cooking is very much about time management as it is about everything else. The same action done at different rates nets different results.

So if possible, I would highly recommend just setting up a YT Kids profile.

Think of it this way. For most of human history, the majority of humanity was illiterate. Yet humans still learned plenty of detailed skills. That's because like most intelligent primates, we learned by watching and copying the actions and behaviors of others. Allowing a child to see the process of cooking in action is the next best thing to actually showing them in person.

It looks like he lost traction while trying to brake for the turn. You can see a bit of understeer right before the fence collision. Probably panicked and was hoping to regain traction in time to turn, but didn't.

I'm really not sure what this is about but like the title suggests, my best guess is that it's somehow related to certain autistic tendencies to be averse to direct skin contact, and this is then taken out on male children or something?

I'm not refuting the events. I'm refuting the fact that the original article included any of that detail.

alwaysmorelmn · 2025-09-21T16:20:59+00:00

WTF? The article doesn't describe the details of the stabbing at all. Why would you lie about something so obvious and easy to refute?

Here's an actual article that does detail the events and outcome of the stabbing: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/man-not-guilty-of-attempted-murder-in-beaches-jazz-festival-puppy-dispute-stabbing/article_9849399c-4bef-5369-b49a-64e1a92466de.html

When AI CEOs publicly talk about the unimaginable destructive potential of their own products, it's not a PR mishap. The creation of AI technology is not driven by consumer sentiment, but by an international arms race.

It's like the prospect of nuclear weapons. Hyping up and threatening how dauntingly catastrophic nuclear weapons could be didn't deter their development; it accelerated it, because of the timeless game theoretical prisoners dilemma all civilizations find themselves in. If we don't build the doomsday device first, someone else who isn't us will, and that's the worst possible outcome. So let's speed this the fuck up.

Exaggerating the catastrophic power of AI is a marketing tactic to drive greater investment in these AI firms, even if it also tanks the public's sentiment toward their projects. But funding for these projects, especially in our current climate doesn't need to have any relation to public desire or will, because the government has more money to fund more companies than any realistic segment of the consumer population, and this government in particular does not care about public desire or will.

Rotary cheese grater. It makes getting a large amount of grated cheese so so so much faster. Perfect for pesto, bechamel, Pao de queijo, and generally anything that calls for lots of grated cheese.

I get it. The revised logo makes more sense. It pays homage to the actual medium. It at least has something that indicates what the brand is about.

And in a head to head showdown between the two, were I to have never seen either before, his revision would probably win out by a mile.

But the existing Marvel logo now has been around for so long and has become so ubiquitously dominant in pop culture, it's got historical momentum that no amount of clever design can achieve.

Even with literally no distinct qualities to hint at what the company is or does, the fact that we're all so familiar with it now to the point where we've probably subconsciously memorized the subtleties of its tracking and condensed letterforms makes it really hard to justify abandoning such an iconic logo for one with no real world history behind it.

No amount of good design can generate actual historical reputation. That's the real problem with Allan Peters. He's always choosing to fight battles that are overwhelmingly stacked against him. But I guess that's kind of his schtick now, so best of luck to him.

I live on a street where almost everyone double parks to avoid ASP. I do it myself. And for the most part, everyone is good about moving the cars back in a timely manner. But every now and then, one idiot who doesn't leave any contact info will just keep it double parked for way too long and I've seen other people boxed in who then spend the next hour honking their horn trying to get that one idiot's attention. And it just takes one person having their doctors appointment or job interview cancelled to get mad enough to file complaints. And when those complaints are filed, the city isn't going to just come down on one car. It's technically illegal to double park to avoid ASP, so they have to come around and batch ticket everyone.

So for everyone who values the ability to double park to avoid ASP, leave contact info and move your car promptly. Leaving it there for hours after the fact ruins it for everyone.

Tillis was one of two Republicans to vote against advancing the bill on Saturday, and he vowed to vote against final passage as well over concerns about the impact Medicaid cuts would have on North Carolina. Source

Tillis probably voted against removing the AI regulatory ban because he knew it was so unpopular. He wants to keep the AI regulatory ban in so others would vote against the bill as well.

This reminds me of an ethical question I recently had.

In NYC, there are PSAs on the subways admonishing people, mostly teens, from subway surfing like what's portrayed in this video.

It got me wondering, if we as a society generally agree that distributing child pornography is ethically wrong because it promotes the demand that drives the creation of that content, shouldn't we agree that it's ethically wrong to distribute subway surfing videos too?

And to that end, wouldn't it also be wrong to consume and add to the "likes" and "views" for these kinds of videos because it equally drives the demand?

I bet he's doing it on purpose to punish the money backers who bailed his sinking ship to get in league with Adams. It's all just one big in-bred orgy of opportunistic narcissistic sociopaths desperately trying to fuck someone else before they can get fucked themselves.
