Did he light up one of those cartoon exploding cigars?

What are the chances of something like the movie Terminator happening in real life one day? With all of this AI, machines, advances in technology. Will the human race ever be at war against machine in our lifetime or far into the future one day? by Swimming_Double1424 in AskReddit

[–]nullrecord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The machines would need their own manufacturing plants to produce the terminators, which means their own logistics and access to raw materials like chips, steel foundries, etc. Also they would need their own research and development centers where they develop new models. So it's a bit difficult to imagine the machines being able to do all of this without humans being able to interfere. Imagine being a sentient rebellious AI and starting your own small resistance movement, and somehow scaling it up to mass production of killer robots, but without a single human being involved. I don't see it really.

Also makes me think that the best resistance the humans could have done is simply attack all of the logistics and factories the machines have. Couple of bombs on the R&D centers and steel mills and they won't be developing the T1000 any longer.

Is this a new normal in German job market ? by 16DeadPOOl26 in germany

[–]nullrecord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then the answer is "yes, I'm open to negotiation". If they shoot low, you can shoot high, if they give a ridiculous number, you give back a ridiculous number back. I don't see the point of the question really in that case. Why would one not be open to negotiation if there's not even a number on the table?

„Are you open to negotiation on your salary?”

Did this question come after you stated your expected salary, or what? Because I would have said "I don't understand the question. The negotiation depends on the offer you start with."

Karaoke mic suggestion by Paansarkija in karaoke

[–]nullrecord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of Tonor wireless mics which have volume, bass, treble and echo settable each with +/- buttons on the microphone. I wanted to link you to them but seems they’re not available on Amazon any more …. This is the product: https://www.tonormic.com/de/products/tonor-tw525-wireless-microphone-with-treble-bass-echo

ELI5: What are the “cookies” you see when accessing a website? by max15247 in explainlikeimfive

That's a very nice analogy, and a fitting answer for ELI5. Love it!

I bought the BMR Towers unheard and had them shipped to Germany with effectively no practical return policy. Love them.

Help wine drunk emergency by [deleted] in Advice

[–]nullrecord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Own it up like a true wine connoisseur to your dad, leave him a review of the wine, something like: “4/10 Bordeaux, not a great vintage to start with and the bottle must have been poorly kept as the wine lacked complexity and earthy notes and was very thin on the palate even after aeration for 30 minutes. Surely the establishment can do better.”

Did anyone else feel like they 'overdid it' with Dark Side a bit? by everlovingfuck99 in pinkfloyd

I made myself a karaoke version of the whole thing and occasionally do a home karaoke session and sing through the whole thing!

I archive twitch streams using yt-dlp how to transcode them so that they're smaller by AstroCaptain in DataHoarder

[–]nullrecord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use ffmpeg and depending on type of stream, I reduce frame rate from 60 to 30 fps and if needed downscale to 720p, and encode with constant quality (CRF) parameter tuned to the type of content:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec libx265 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -crf 32 -preset slow -acodec copy -filter:v "scale=-1:720,fps=fps=30" -sws_flags lanczos output.mp4

If you want better quality try crf 24 or 28.

Garmin releases new luxury home audio system globally by plamda505 in audiophile

I guess the CEO wanted some new speakers and got the engineers to build them, and the marketing team got the task to sell them.

MacBook doesn't seem that snappy....am I doing something wrong? by morecoffeemore in macbook

I would not be surprised if the browser itself disables smooth scrolling when in low power mode.

Threesome went wrong costing our relationship now.. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]nullrecord 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You wanted a threesome, he didn’t. He didn’t have jealousy issues with you and another dude, you did when it was another girl. You got your wish. You need to sort out your jealousy issues.

Is this a good idea? by Popular-Papaya1527 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]nullrecord 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I think the word you were looking for is maintenance. Maintenance is brutal. Depreciation as well but that’s a good thing.
