She blocked mild criticism, and then I kid you not, posted a selfie of herself in the shower, to flame Asmongold due to his video on the subject.
Saying that something is "random" is completely ignoring the fact that at every chance she had to be obnoxiously queer, she took it.
Xananax also posted a unprofessional message on the official website linked discord, and then the so called official response to the situation made excuses saying that this discord isn't official.
They've had many instances to act better, distance themselves from the unprofessional behavior and didn't take it.
Open comes with the ability to participate, an open door is to let something physical through, not like a transparent window that lets one see, an open market, open auction, or open sports league explicitly implies more than just viewing the activity.
For many of us, we've never used "open" to mean viewing.
Right now I wouldn't trust the license to let me message my boss or buy something from a store on my personal phone without violation, commercial activity is an extremely broad term.
There's a difference between being wrong on a few things, and being consistently wrong and so far up your own ass that you have Slavoj Žižek and Sam Harris calling you out and the only response you have is "He's just posturing", He is a coward, he is the spinless person in the situation 99% of the time, the only thing he does is provide FUD for far-left ideology, attacking him for things he's done in the past is well deserved.
Calling a person who was arrested and put on Nixons enemies list, a spinless coward is... a likely statement of a spineless coward.
> being consistently wrong
So easy to throw grandiose statements like that substantiated by nothing and build your whole argument on it.
I was only aware of the Sam Harris clash, at the time that it actually happened. As I read both of them. Harris was a child with a chip on his shoulder, desperately trying to 'win'.
I had to read about this Zizek clash and again more of the smoke than fire. He accuses him of lack of empirical evidences, gives none in return, brings back Cambodia (a low blow, as he must be fully aware of the bigger picture) and then he tangents of to some power dynamics in academia for majority of it.
more of the smoke than fire
Again using Cambodia as only example is just boring. The whole thing of 'denial' is much more complicated as was going on at the time events were unfolding. At the time Chomsky convinced himself that this was a propaganda move to push war narrative. And he was wrong. Plain and simple. Even as more reports came in he convinced himself that he was right.
But still US was using the genocide as a drum-beat for war across SE Asia.
Analogously, if he was saying that Saddam didn't have weapon of mass destruction - that its a hoax of CIA to gain casus belli - and US Army did find some. And then be forever chastised for everything you say because of a misjudgement.
But its much easier and convenient for right wing hawks to just bash 'Chomsky denies KR genocides' a black and white narrative.
I don't fully agree with Chomsky worldviews, but he definitely shaped a lot of them. And help to create a counter narrative to US propaganda. He absolutely leans in too much into US imerialism bad angle.
But this in itself is a great tool to forge your own opinions against.
Nobody ever mention his takes on power affecting press and free speech and takes on neo-liberalism. Because I find it hard to argue with those, and never found any worthwhile critism of those.
But again all you hear is smug morons like you screeching 'Chomsky bad cuz Cambodia'
But you can't do any of this and expect to get recognized.
No ones gonna hire you because you spent a decade and have a half finished game engine written Haskell.
All of that freedom is fake and some even in contradiction with each other.
You cannot take your time, or you pick a larger scope project, you will eventually run out of savings, or get questions from family members about why your job search is taking so long.
If you filter out everything but smaller scope projects then you have a far smaller subset of projects that aren't as unique because everyone else has done them. If you just graduated from University, you lack experience with project management and as the saying goes, write what you know, and so that'll limit yourself to video games or web and that one niche subject you took at Uni.
This advice feels like what you would get from a rock-star who was young and stupid and naive and very lucky telling a kid that if he just makes music and sticks it out he'll get scouted by a record label, When in reality he just was lucky enough to market pop-derivative music at gigs, while not realizing the kid likes to make music from sampled traffic noise and his favorite album is Music for Airports.
This is a high risk endeavour and you either need to make conscious decisions that mitigate risk heavily and are compatible with your personality, and the end goal of being financially secure.
Yeah downloading an OS that couldn't play MP3's by default, and required you to jump through hoops to let it play them, because said distro was avoiding law suits, Just like how Audacity didn't ship with LAME, but required you to supply your own dll. Yes patents had zero effect on the User experience.
yes. of course patents impact UX. if patents didn’t make things more difficult for engineers, then they’d be worthless, and in open source that burden on the devs gets passed through to the users.
a reasonable person might conclude that patents are a bad thing as a result. like it or not, HEVC is patented and that’s not changing anytime soon: but do we decide to develop tools around it, or banish it?
that any users actually went through the awful UX of downloading codecs is some evidence that mp3 support was valuable to them. is this still the case, today with HEVC, or not?
if the argument was really as simple as “HEVC is bad UX”, we wouldn’t have this discussion: nobody would use something with bad UX if they didn’t feel compelled to for some other reason. why anyone would feel compelled to, is the more interesting discussion.
I think the biggest reason is lack of hardware decoding, Lots of people have a device that can hardware decode H.265, which is extremely important for 4k content, my x230 really struggled with software 4k decoding of H.265, so I assume the same issue will happen with VP9 and AV1 especially with higher res content.
We have a building at the local university that has ground at one end level with transitory step between floors -1 and 0, you enter the building through the stair well, and descend or ascend to get to a floor. I wouldn't be surprised if an architect designed a building that did this on flat ground, violating the ability to number floors relative to ground with integers.
YouTube's 1080p60 is already at a decimation ratio of about 200:1, then you have to consider how efficient P and B frames are with motion/differences. if your data looks like noise you're gonna be completely screwed since the P and B frames will absolutely destroy the quality.
There's a bunch of other things too, like YUV420p and TV colour range: 16-235, so you only get 7.7bits / pixel.
If anything you would want to encode your data in some way that abuses the P and B frames, and the macro block size of 16x16.
Coding theory for the data output at your end is only one side of the coin, the VP9 codec stupidly good compression is a completely different game to wrangle.
And I kinda doubt you'll get much better than your estimate of 1% from the original scheme.
If I was to gamble I would say that Analog TV can store more data, compression algorithms usually work at say 1:200 compression ratio, they're extremely destructive, a raw 1080p60 in yuv420p is about 187MB/s, on the other hand a decent equivalent video on YouTube is about 1MB/s
