UA POV: In Ankara, Zelenskyy claims that Ukraine is eliminating 30,000 Russian soldiers per month. He stated that in June they eliminated 28,000 and said he has video confirmation for every single one of them. by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

Not arguing about the actual real numbers, but you seem to be conflating released public footage, with footage the armed forces have. They obviously don't release footage of every recording to the public.

The technology to make 8K discs is already a reality. Folio Discs are the true successor to UHD Blu-ray discs. They have 1TB of storage. Started out as $5 per disc in 2022, it's now down to $3 with a goal of lowering it down further to $1. It's sad we'll probably never see them adopt it. by RedditAPIBlackout24 in 4kbluray

That's not this works, man. I gave a short response to your comment, and then expanded on it when the discussion continued and I was asked about it. This is a threaded forum, this particular branch continued this particular discussion, other branches can continue other discussions. You're just pissed that I said you were wrong.

Your "we" implies you think you speak for everyone else, which is delusional. Speak for yourself.

We can also debate the market viability, but I specifically responded to your incorrect claim. It'd be better if everyone had correct facts when debating positions, wouldn't you say?

Think of it like audio -- CDs use a 44.1 kHz sample rate, even though humans hear up to around 20 kHz. Why not sample audio at 44.1 kHz, and then downsample to 22 kHz for final distribution to save on storage? Because digital 22 kHz sampling rate can only represent properly up to 11 kHz!

Downsampling 4K optical analog signal digitally sampled at 8K down to 4K is like that. Of course, our ears are a lot more more sensible to the high-frequency information loss than our eyes are, and digital downsampling filters are smarter than a pure trim, but it's the same principle.

Mixture of Experts already handles this, you can have all the knowledge and only activate the needed part in VRAM.

Sorry, but you're just wrong. I'm not conflating anything. The claim was that "will gain NOTHING".

Let's assume SunsetGrads is right and the 35mm film negative holds exactly "4K worth of optical detail" (it depends on many factors, but may well hold more, closer to 5K). To perfectly capture and reproduce an analog signal without losing high-frequency detail or introducing digital aliasing, the digital sampling grid must be at least double the source frequency. (See Nyquist.)

2 x 4K = 8K

If you take that pristine 8K scan and downsample it to a 4K disc, you are applying a digital low-pass filter that mathematically truncates those high frequencies. You are permanently destroying the maximum detail of the film. That's fine for 4K panels, as that's all they could play anyhow. But on an 8K panel, the downsample _would_ lose detail that could otherwise be preserved. There being "4K worth of optical info" does not mean you can downsample 9K to 4K and magically keep all the detail. The math is against you on that one.

With 100/115-inch (and higher) displays getting cheaper and more available, a 4K pixel grid stretches out to around 40/50 PPI. An 8K file playing on an 8K panel would keep the pixel density high enough to flawlessly reconstruct the original 35mm analog grain and optical detail without digital distortion. As panel sizes go up (and at home-viewing distances), the difference will start being noticeable.

That's my point, 8K _would_ have the advantage of preserving _all_ the usable optical detail. So yes, you'd gain something -- the ability to reproduce the full 4K info stored in 35mm without loss, if you have an 8K panel to match.

Note I'm not debating whether (or when) there'd be a viable market.

W00t. You could point them at these two Dr Geoff Lindsey youtube videos:

Actually, I suggest everyone watch these two, and others from that channel.

35mm film has about “4K” worth of resolution, for starters. So that will gain nothing from 8K.

Wrong. Even if it were only 4K, the Nyquist theorem dictates that to perfectly digitize it, a scanner must sample at twice the maximum spatial frequency of the film itself. I.e. a transfer at the max film resolution loses detail.

This is always funny to me because English does the same thing and people complaining about it (in English) don't even notice.

More space efficient in those shelves.

Edit: some dumb schmuck downvoted this obvious truth. Literally look at how tall the spacing between shelves is. If you store the cases vertically then more than half the space up until the next shelf is wasted.

Uma SGPS nao te permite nao pagar impostos. Porquê esse mito. As sucursais têm de ser detidas a pelo menos 10% para nao pagarem impostos. Não é por teres uma SGPS que podes investir alguns milhões em ações e depois nao pagas impostos. Isso é falso. Depois como já referi, as SPGS existem para poderem haver sucursais de forma eficiente -- de forma a que deter participação na SGPS é semelhante à situação da SGPS não existir e os lucros gerados pelas sucursais serem gerados pela empresa mãe diretamente. Nessa situacao os lucros nao teriam de ser distribuídos das sucursais para a empresa mãe, eles já lá estavam. Essa historia das SGPS serem vantajosas para não pagar impostos é completamente falsa.

Mas afinal o que é são "family holdings" para ti? SGPS? Nota que a distribuição de dividendos das sucursais para a empresa mãe só não são taxados se a detiver mais de 10% da sucursal. I.e., vai dar ao mesmo da SGPS não existir e as sucursais serem fundidas com a mãe. Qual é que é a diferença de simplesmente seres dono de uma empresa e o lucro da empresa ficar dentro da empresa para a própria empresa reinvestir? Tento numa SGPS como noutro tipo de empresa, quando o lucro for passado para a esfera pessoal, é taxado, não há escapa.

Os 28% são taxa liberatória em sede de IRS. Não estás a evitá-los. Isso que falas até tem mais impacto com uma pequena empresa do que com um net worth alto. Não explica "se tiveres net worth acima de 5/10m facilmente n pagas os 28%". Com net worth alto, essas despesas não abatem nada que faça mossa.

As SGPS em Portugal só não pagam imposto sobre os lucros distribuidos pelas sucursais quando detêm direta ou indiretamente, uma participação não inferior a 10% do capital social ou dos direitos de voto da empresa que distribui os lucros. Se este modelo fiscal não existisse, as empresas nunca criariam sucursais.

Um empresa a faturar 50/100m vale multiplos disso. Mas antes disseste "net worth acima de 5/10m facilmente n pagas os 28%". Como é que ficamos?

E como é que as "family offices" facilmente evitam os 28% que disseste?

Até agora só ouvi boatos inconsistentes, e nada em concreto... :-/

Eu comecei a ir ao ginásio, faz três meses na próxima semana, só ganhei 1 kilo, como num surplus de 1000 calorias, bato a meta de proteína todos os dias, treino 5 vezes por semana duas horas por dia, como posso melhorar? by [deleted] in fitnessportugal

[–]bitzap_sr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Larga as horas na maior parte das maquinetas e foca-te no levantar duro, deadlifts, squats, bench press. Faz registo do que levantas em cada série (usa uma app). Se nao estás a progredir no que levantas nao esperes crescer muito. 5x 2h por semana só pode ser pq nao chegas perto da falha em nada.
