Because my country is populated by worthless inbred trash that fall for something so simple as “Hey! Look over there!”

Jim Crow.

The south still has similar voting restrictions, it’s just the supreme court stopped caring and said ‘sure, whatevs’.

Rural island off the coast of a european country:

10g fiber for $65/mo (I don’t even think they cared, I asked for more and I think they made up a number).

House literally down the street from google in silicon valley:

Comcrap $100 for shit cable, I’m paying $250 for actual upload speed.

This country is ruled by the corrupt.

Google is pushing av1 because of patents, but 266 is just plain better tech, even if it’s harder to encode.

This same shit happened with 265 and vp9, and before that, and before that with vorbis/opus/aac.

They’ll come back because it’s a standard, and has higher quality.

Maybe this is the one time somehow av1 wins out on patents, but I’m encoding av1 and I’m really not impressed, it’s literally just dressed up hevc, maybe a 10% improvement max.

I’ve seen vvc and it’s really flexible, it shifts gears on a dime between high motion and deep detail, which is basically what your brain sees most, while av1 is actually kind of worse than hevc at that to me, it’s sluggish at the shifts, even if it is better overall.

Yeah, using the a750 the same.

Can’t wait for next Gen arc with vvc (x266) support.

Intel has excellent transcode, even in their igpus.

I use an arc750 specifically for transcode, av1 runs at ludicrous speeds, but don’t do an Nvidia, they kind of suck because they dont support vaapi, only nvenc/nvdec and vdpau.

Design, close to tape out now, but also post-silicon and bringup.

It’s fun as all fuck, never thought about it as incantations or runes, then the rock comes back and we cast spells to bring it to life I guess.

Takes a while but is just incredible.

No, yeah, Bernoulli was a genius who did a lot otherwise, he should be remembered for all his other scientific contributions…

But you fuck one goat…

Sorry, as an engineer, this whole “shape of a birds wing makes air move faster over it” pisses me off to no end.

Airfoils are shaped the way they are for drag purposes, not whatever crazy things they say, we could make them like massive triangles and they would still work.

Isn’t that literally silence?

edit: That’s silence, you asshole! :p

That’s some underrated deep cut shit right there.

Yeah that’s mostly bullshit.

Your arm flies when you stick it out a window, and it isn’t shaped like shit, so does a piece of paper.

It’s basically like a sail, but horizontally instead of vertically, the onrushing air hits the bottom at an angle, is deflected down, and bumps the wing up.

The rest is just to try to reduce drag on the top (super-critical wings attempting to maximize laminar flow, or at least make the disconnection as far back as possible so turbulence creates the least drag on the wing.

engrave billions of arcane runes

Omg, you just made me love my job more.

That’s an awesome analogy.

Ok, you have my attention, going googling.

That was interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wiYtoG9kZE

Induced viscosity.

Yeah, never leave that job half done.

I can hear that.

Staying sober at home with family can be hard enough, but when traveling, that’s hardcore mode.

99 luftballoons is similar.

The 80s was oddly dark.
