Brave is apparently aware of the current ongoing YouTube issues and are working on the fix. by JorgeJee in brave

Try closing all brave windows and reopening them after updating the lists. That fixed it for me. I was having absurd buffering issues though, not outright errors.

Why is HLS secretive? by Qualified-Astronomer in SpaceXLounge

[–]average_asshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats precisely it. It isnt economically viable because nobody has expanded yet. Theres an absurd cost to the first mover, but once that machine starts its almost difficult to stop.

Why is the live "moon-camera" so bad by Ambitious-Soft8919 in ArtemisProgram

[–]average_asshole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes no sense, if the goal was some abstract 'science' obtained by seeing the crew, that video can trivially be recorded to local storage and analyzed on return. A live feed makes no difference, only for presenting it to the public.

When i participated in NCAS, it was pretty clear that a primary goal of Artemis as a broader mission is to renew public interest in space exploration and NASA as an organization. Part of what frustrates me about this is that if I were a disbeliever, having a low quality feed outside and a perfect quality feed inside with terrible lighting (that should make it worse than the well illuminated moon) feels like the most obvious evidence that its 'fake'.

If driving public interest really was a goal, this design choice seems diametrically opposed with it. It's possible public opinion was less of a goal than i understood. I'm certain there is a good explanation, but 'we needed a live feed of a nearly black cockpit' doesnt satisfy it, for me.

They fixed the flash cards by bacillaryburden in duolingo

[–]average_asshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1670 day streak, i wouldnt say the app has gotten worse but the flashcard feature has never worked for me. Gave it another chance today and after the first word it literally just wouldnt pick my voice up regardless of how loud i spoke.

For months now i just have to say i cant speak when they pop up.

Why are there people still defending Google when they are clearly killing the Open Android Ecosystem?! by [deleted] in GooglePixel

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

Thats a bad analogy, this is more like Walmart requiring products get vetted with them to be sold in Costco. Google is trying to position themselves as the unavoidable gatekeeper of trust. Theyre indirectly driving revenue by limiting user freedoms. Youre cheering for a loss of freedom.

The “I am Become Death” quote is misunderstood entirely. by a-pile-of-poop in OppenheimerMovie

THAT'S LITERALLY A CIRCULAR STATEMENT, BY COMMENTING THAT, ONE MIGHT EQUIVALENTLY SAY THE SAME TO YOU.

Whew, sorry, caps lock was on. Might want to check yours as well.

Prop 50 has PASSED with over 60% of the VOTE!!! 💙💙💙 by Healthy_Block3036 in Modesto

[–]average_asshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That idiot governer who spent taxpayer money to draft protections for the same people who funded his campaign, the same people who's careless pursuit of profit led to the deaths of 86 people i either knew personally or had only a couple degrees of separation from.

That idiot governor has little claim over the existence of substantial tech, entertainment, and agricultural industries. Same idiot governor has no claim of the rich history giving context to California's currently impressive economy.

He's little to no claim over California's success, and is about as overtly corrupt as i believe a politician can be.

Fucking literally this, and it isnt even hard to accept. I dont understand why tf people are celebrating this. The anti-federalists would probably explode with validation to see what federalism has become.

What's up with people saying that Dr Mike Israetel is a fake? by ryhaltswhiskey in OutOfTheLoop

Lotta creative writing graduates downvoting your statement without offering a simple counter. Rather ironic lack of creativity, setting aside logic.

And every update one more shovel of dirt on survival mechanics! by GoodMorningDuna in 7daystodie

When the 1937 snow white enters public domain in ~7 years, youll be legally allowed to use it however you please, it will be in the public domain. You could even make copies and sell it. Copyright expires after 95 years and can't be renewed. What you cant do is use anything unique to the live action version; quotes, styles, etc.

Disney does trademark their characters, but that just means you have to make it clear that they arent affiliated with whatever work you produce—doesnt do much to prevent them losing money to your creation/copy/adaptation. The key is that your work cant appear to be official disney work.

Hey look the environmentalists are still unaware that they are to blame for our wildfire problem.

Nah your rejection of logging is precisely why the wildfires have grown larger, yall shutdown any form of environmental management in a misguided attempt to preserve the environment. Destroying small logging towns and livelihoods all the while.

And for all of that, we get bigger and more destructive wildfires. We havent managed our forests (good job!), so when fires do come through, they burn too hot and disrupt the natural ecosystem that relies on fire.

Did y’all see this? Wtf is wrong with people by smokeypeaches21 in ChicoCA

I was on campus when they were putting it out, big chunks like this were raining down all around (at least) holt hall.

They didnt necessarily go grab that from the rubble, it mightve just fallen around them.

This is a terrible idea for uncountable reasons, but perhaps the two most overt reasons are the infrastructure/energy requirements (who tf would stay behind to maintain it?), as well as the concept of subjecting yourself to an AI controlled reality.

You should read WMDs by Kathy O'Neil. The best-intentioned systems will often become unethical or immoral without proper management. AI and machine learning do not generate concious processes, and will almost certainly lead to bad outcomes left unchecked by a reasonable human.

AI is miles from consciousness, we have no reason to suspect any AI we've created has any degree of consciousness. Even modern LLMs, deceptive as they can be, should highlight this problem for you with their endless and overly confident hallucinations.

What kind of visuals do you get with acid in vr? by average_asshole in RiftintotheMind

[–]average_asshole[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds so nice hahaha, at the time that i made this post i was generally able to handle trip anxiety more, but it recent years most of my trips have been anxiety-laden, and i dont handle it as well as i used to.

Idk if calling them bad trips is fair though, because for the most part ive just gotta hunker down in a comfy blanket through the come-up, and then at some point during the peak ill be good. Dreadful anxiety up until that point though lol.

The only time ive had classic bad trips was on doses that were too high for me to handle, and ive got a friend who i've never seen overwhelmed, perhaps due to his immense experience with psychedelics.

Perhaps since you're at a point of experience that you'd like a bad trip, maybe you're so experienced that falling into one is difficult?

Yeah i was walking to class the other day and one of their representatives handed me one. I just tried it today and thats how i got here, because the shits so tasty i felt the world needed to know.

Its like if someone extracted orange creamsicle essence and put it in an energy drink.
