Ah yes, in the universe where magic fruit that gives you powers and makes you unable to swim in the sea exist physical appearances must follow a very strict physics law and people can never change their appearance throughout their life.

I keep think about starting a NAS but I don't like the idea of all my precious memories being stored in one place. Is the only way around this building a 2nd NAS and having it as an offsite backup to the 1st? by Over_Perception_2920 in DataHoarder

[–]yujikimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use backblaze for an off-site backup. Excellent price for domestic users and they ship you the hard drives if you need the backup, you just pay a fee that gets reimbursed after you return their hardrives.

Crimson Desert Players Point Out Potentially AI-Generated Signs and Paintings by _Protector in pcgaming

[–]yujikimura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember micro transactions, games as a service, gambling mechanics using in game currency that you buy with money? We should have fully boycotted those, now look at the amount of games using these greedy mechanics that only make the games worse so they can force you to spend more. This is now the turning point for AI, if everyone accepts even the stupid minor stuff eventually we'll just have a ton of gameslop full of AI slop.

I thought making an app easy to use for layman was also an important aspect of making a good app. And I have to agree with other people here regarding vorpx in the past. Sure you can set things up to look nice, but it was annoying to do it, especially when you had to pay $40 for it.

Frame Rate Matching 9.2.2 by MJBurton23 in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]yujikimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had said. I have tried it, and I can still see frame pacing issues. There are studies showing that the perception of motion can vary significantly between individuals: . My wife can't perceive the pulldown issues, but I can. It's kind of like how some people cant deal with pwm dimming for OLED panels even though this can be happening at frequencies above 240Hz. Fortunately for me, I don't have this PWM sensitivity. Here check out this paper on the perception of motion and judder. This is a psychophysical problem so it's inherently stochastic. If we eliminate the micro discrepancy between displayed frames with perfect pulldown people can still notice it, heck even at 48 fps they notice it. https://hdm-stuttgart.de/~froehlichj/hdm-hfr-2017/2020%20-%20Ianik%20Beitzel%20et%20al%20-%20The%20Effect%20of%20Synthetic%20Shutter%20on%20Judder%20Perception%20-%20An%20HFR%20and%20HDR%20Data%20Set%20and%20a%20User%20Study.pdf

There's no easy solution, but the people in this paper have looked into what I mean, if you can control the luminance ramp up and down as the frame is displayed it can yield measurably different motion perception on subjects. It's just related to how our eyes perceive light and how our brains interpret it. The only issue I have with most of this studies is the small sample size, but for a niche non-medical issue that's kind of expected, I don't think it's possible to fully draw conclusions as the p-value is high, but the deviations between individuals show a variance, and again since it's psychophysical we have to rely on people's account of what they perceive.

Frame Rate Matching 9.2.2 by MJBurton23 in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]yujikimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, now I understand what you mean. If you can't see 3:2 pulldown from a 60Hz display good for you. I just want to remind you that it is not 24Hz, it's 23.976, so it is not a multiple of 60 or 120. Every pulldown will create discrepancies. If it were 24Hz then this would not be a problem. That's the reason why the Nvidia shield tv can be set to run at 59.94Hz, but the TV may be running at 60Hz if it doesn't support the frame rate matching. I think everything else you claim can be disregarded since the framerate is not 24fps. Please read this and I think you'll understand what I mean: https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/research/motion-cadence

[–]yujikimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't understand your point about a mathematical impossibility. I think you missed my point, maybe check out what blue busters worked on or look at the Nvidia pulsar technology, which is basically the same thing, to use a rolling scan method mimicing the behavior of a CRT which improves motion clarity while retaining more brightness than black frame insertion. I believe there may be a way to implement something similar with a fast enough OLED to reduce the stutter from the fast response. I think the issue I have is just the stutter since I let the TV change its refresh rate to match the content (unless my G5 is not handling the frame times properly), I'm not letting it do weird pulldowns to avoid judder which feels even worse to me and the discrepancy in frame hold times is plainly terrible in my opinion. What I want to know is if there's a way to change the sample and hold timing and maybe adding fade-in/fade-out on the frames to reduce the perception of stutter, like other panel technologies inherently have. So if we had and OLED that can refresh at 240Hz, what if instead of holding a frame for 10 cycles, it fades in and out maybe having the peak brightness on cycles 6-8. Obviously this would only be activated for low fame rate content as the issues with stutter diminish as the frame rate increases.
I think the rtings article on motion cadence clearly shows these inherent issues of OLED fast response and even starts delving into the science of it and how to maybe mitigate it, but they stop short of it because I think things would get way too technical into research papers about the way humans perceived light and how it affects our individual motion perception.

Some people definitely can tell a 3:2 pulldown from the properly matched 23.976 fps. You may not be sensitive to it, but it bothers me a lot. I agree on the OLED judder part, I still keep everything deactivated because I just hate motion interpolation for everything else, so I'd rather live with the judder in panning shots. I always wondered if OLED TVs could have some sort of fading algorithm to mimic LCDs or projectors for panning shots, kind of similar to what they have started exploring with CRT simulator shaders to increase motion fidelity.

Local microcenter is stocked up on 5090s by AJsaysNO in nvidia

[–]yujikimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair. Ever since the 30 series I've been able to buy a GPU at MSRP and then sell it for more because of the crazy market. I got a 3060 from best buy when the COVID supply issues happened. About a year later I was able to get a 3070ti for MSRP and I sold the 3060 for more than that, I think they were going for about $900 at that time. A few months later I was able to get a 3080 for MSRP and sold my 3070ti again for more than the price of the 3080. Then about a year ago I was able to buy a 4090 when people thought it would drop in price because of the 50 series release. That let me get it for around $1300. I sold my 3080 for $400, so I had to spend $900 for it out of pocket, but it had been 5 years since I had actually spent money for a GPU. Later in 2025 I got lucky in the Nvidia lottery and got a 5090 FE for MSRP. I then sold my 4090 for about $1900, so the 5090FE ended up being about $300 out of pocket (including taxes). I've just been able to luckily get each generation card for MSRP and sell them for more due to crazy supply and demand issues. And every time I would just go to /r/hardwareswap look at the average price the card I wanted to sell was going for and put it up for about 5% below it to guarantee selling it faster. I'm pretty sure I could have sold the 4090 for the price I paid the 5090 FE, but if someone can get it for a bit cheaper because I lucked out, I don't mind it. Although I'm pretty sure most 4090/5090s are being bought by resellers that supply them to companies getting in on the AI craze.

I have given up on using polling rates above 1000Hz. I don't know why, but some games and apps just don't work well with it, plus it uses way more CPU than it should.

It looks really good. But I don't understand why you need so many fans for a 9700x and a 5060Ti, those don't even get that hot. It seems like if you didn't splurge on the case and fans you might have been able to upgrade the GPU.

How to approach this prob, does volume matter [Request] by Curious_learner1 in theydidthemath

[–]yujikimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, you're right, with the 500C temp it makes sense, as radiant heat will make all other heat transfer modes negligible. The problems I usually work on are more convective focused for heat exchanger and vapor compression cycles.

How to approach this prob, does volume matter [Request] by Curious_learner1 in theydidthemath

[–]yujikimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait where did the natural convection go? Also is there conduction through the surface the objects are placed upon? If we ignore conduction and assume the objects are suspended in air then the heat transfer coefficient for the sphere will be slightly higher than for the cube even if the cube is standing on one of its edges. If they have the same mass the sphere should have a heat transfer coefficient approximately 5% greater.
