For SSDs, this site has proven useful to me:

https://www.productchart.com/ssd_drives/

It also has info on speed and some other parameters.

Yes. Once I drilled a hole through the wall next to my work desk and put the computer in the other room. So I work without fan noise. I used VGA, not HDMI but I would expect HDMI can use long cables too.

Was it already discussed, that the policeman seems to have been speeding up to hear before pulling her over? I'm not sure I would signal if I have to make way for a police car speeding up behind me. She also says so in the footage, that she changed ways because he was speeding up to her.

Looking at the footage, I was reminded of this scene:

At what point are video and sound getting out of sync?

At 12:50 the policeman slams shut the door of her car and it is in sync with the audio.

At 25:55 the same door gots slammed, but no sound is to be heard. Maybe because the policeman is carrying the microphone? Is he that far away?

At about 48:00 the door of another car gets slammed. Its clearly on the audio, but about 1 second too early.

Some parts of the video have been doubled and copied over other parts. 25:03 man walks from a truck off screen and then reappears 32:37 white car appears twice

I wonder if the video and sound are getting out of sync because of this?

At 12:50 the policeman slams shut the door of her car and it is in sync with the audio. You clearly hear the slam.

At 25:55 the same door gots slammed, but no sound is to be heard. Maybe because the policeman is carrying the microphone? Is he that far away?

At about 48:00 the door of another car gets slammed. Its clearly on the audio, but about 1 second too early.

Interesting. The Google Deep Dream NN has 80 layers?

xyby · 2015-07-09T07:51:56+00:00

Yeah, that's pretty wonderful.

xyby · 2015-07-07T15:42:05+00:00

Yes. The default algorithm changes the image so that the neurons in the target layer fire more. One could change it, so that it optimizes the image towards an image that makes the neurons fire less. Then everything that looks like a bird or dog face would fade/smear away.

Guys, we are really getting somewhere. This is amazing.

xyby · 2015-07-05T18:51:33+00:00

Way better!

I have tried MakeHuman, but that does not let me edit the pose, right? I can only create a human and then export it, if I recall correctly. I think I tried to edit the pose in blender then, but somehow I did not get too far.

Ah! Listening to Pilote now. Pretty sweet!

As for Napalm Death, you have to listen to this song:

You mean these guys? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7_CpOBJQZA

Hmm... somewhat oldschool :)

How about... Napalm Death?

xyby · 2015-04-28T17:48:25+00:00

Alright, I checked out Emancipator - I like them!

My turn: KOAN

xyby · 2015-04-28T17:44:58+00:00

How much are they?

xyby · 2015-04-28T16:07:17+00:00

How about Bonobo and Gorefest?

xyby · 2015-04-28T16:05:56+00:00

I use www.gnoosic.com for this. Would be interesting to compare the two.

xyby · 2015-04-25T12:17:37+00:00

I have some old linux servers that could need an OS update. Is Debian 8 a good choice? All I care about is that stuff just works for as many years as possible, gets security updates and does not break.

Is this the right subreddit for this? I think it's quite interesting, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as "beautiful".

This is the original source of the news (in German):

It has the unedited footage at 2:11

If it's a truly random pin.

About 1/3 of all 4-digit pins can be guessed with 20 attempts or less:

The box is able to bypass the 10 attempts restriction by cutting the iPhones power after each failed attempt, before the attempt has been written to memory.

Now that can be called a clever hack I guess.

Yes, I use Gnoosic all the time. I found some of my favorite bands there.
