summer vacation ended 2+ weeks ago

now it slowly starting to feel like gray everyday life again

its good though, its good that one thing ends and another thing starts

i like that its starting to feel like autumn. i like dark rainy nights. it has nice atmospheric vibe in it. its good for reading especially. summer days are not good for that.

although im gemini, i feel like two months of summer is just enough.

its just AI-assisted programming (and working in general)

honestly not much has changed, only that you need to do more in shorter time.

one thing that has changed though is that the concerns of programmers have become concerns of management too.

Personally? Im not worried about anything. Its just that work feels more weary now.

Those gigaservers and fast channels to the consoomer ain't gonna pay for themselves lol. The "social" part of YT feels macabre nowadays (you basically have to stick with some familiar people or something) but technical part is sorta nice - like not the algo (kinda hit or miss) or site features (they only remove useful features lol, like search filters) but the video playback is actually pretty damn good compared to what it was I think - well a part of it browsers got better but still they moved from muxed streams to unmuxed to segmented, that's sorta neat

Me, subscribe for more racism :D Jokes aside, if you outsource your thoughts and thinking to someone else, you are basically fucked. Seen recently some REALLY REALLY bad conclusions derived from data that indicated the complete opposite.

To be fair, after thinking about it a little, a whitepill thought I had was since there are a bunch of these politics streamers who clearly and openly push an agenda maybe it will teach people to keep their guard up from other people who do not openly announce their agenda on the same channels of communication. But this is probably wishful thinking and as long as you write "HONEST expert warns xyz" you can lie whatever you want to ppl idk. Remains to be seen

Hmmm, you simply don't. For example the influencer space has its own rules that come from it's nature.
Collabs exist so two creators can trade audience and exposure. So, naturally, this means a creator won't go to a show where he is hated and/or gets shat on. This means topics will avoid controversial things that one would ask. This will obviously make things more contrived. Still sometimes emotions get the better of people and they end up killing the vibe or making a stink or whatever.
Podcasts themselves act like platforms but they have to act welcoming. This means preapproved questions for high profile people.
Where one appear is also a statement in itself. For example lex friedman is genuinely retarded but he exists so people who don't want to be associated with joe rogan can go there

In the end, the podcast and internet space has its own rules and limits just like how movies and series have different limitations. Being cognizant is how you avoid getting fooled (for example if you know a person well, you know what is NOT being said)
idk im getting tired brain no worky, you get it anyway, you are a smart lil labubu

Was reading about how these faults happen and apparently it's lots of voltage regulation within such a monitor that need to be controlled in sequence to update the pixels at the super high refresh rate.

Cheaper monitors have less sophisticated and error-prone instruments for this that fail way more often. The cable-taping workaround works cause you basically just tape off specific pins that link to those instruments until you find the faulty one and, because on this model monitor the screen has redundant gate drivers on each side, you can just eliminate the faulty bit on one side without noticing it visually (except that it gets rid of the hardware fault cause you just bypassed it).

One nice thing about these cheap ass monitors is that usually these types of low-tech, non-pro fixes are possible.

So idk who needs to hear this, but couple of days/weeks (idr) ago turkposter suggested me if I want to get into photography I should buy a cheap compact digital machine. Not to shit on too hard on the guy, but this is astonishingly bad advice, you will 100% percent end up being stranded on a deadend machine with no room to move up to - it is quite literally the equivalent of suggesting someone who wants to get into gaming to buy a cheap entry level laptop. it will fall apart, you cant upgrade it etc we all know how that goes. So after some research I have the real answer if you want to get your foot in the door in photography

The answer is MFT or Micro Four Thirds (also written as M43) which is a sensor size and a lens mount type. This standard is agreed upon with several camera manufacturers including olympus and panasonic which instantly promises larger market for lens than other mainstream lensmounts from larger manufacturers like sony and canon who mostly go their own way selfishly with their own mounts. But this is not where this ends, since MFT is a smaller sensor compared to full frame sensors (designed to emulated 35mm film), lens made for larger sensors can be adapted with an optical adapter called speed booster (which also makes the image a bit brighter and wider which is generally considered to be good. Vica versa can't be done, a smaller lens put on a larger sensor will just look like when you look into binoculars and you see the round sides (called vignetting). So even if you decide later to buy a much more expensive full frame camera (although the reasons for this are quickly disappearing as tech marches forward) you can already start collecting lenses that you can use on your next camera. More, small sensor lens like Contax/Yashica (CY) can be mounted with cheap dumb adapters which means even wider market access.

As for DSLR MILC, just forget DSLR, they have moving parts that can fail.

So the best camera to get your foot in the door is a MILC MFT machine used (if you don't want to pay new prices) something like a panasonic GF6. These already use standard SD cards, so given you move forward to a newer machine, your storage can be reused as well. And no, removable lens is non-negotiable. It's the equivalent of not being able to change the gpu in a pc (which never ends well), you will never be able to play in the big leagues.
