It can be done with boiling water, but it’s not very efficient.

- Comment on your mom falls significantly faster than g 2 weeks ago:
I wonder how many frames per… picosecond you’d need to capture that on camera… And what zoom level you’d need to see it.
I think the roughness of the surface of the bowling ball would have a bigger impact on the time…
- Comment on Why are we building homes when so many are standing empty? 4 weeks ago:
Should have a tax on empty houses, top dicincentivise land banking with properties that are unoccupied. That could also bring a means to take over properties where the owner is unknown, when the taxes are unpaid long enough.
- Comment on More trustworthy than what's currently on the road 1 month ago:
I’m over 30 and was only vaguely aware of it because it was mentioned once in a youtube video.
- Comment on New Playstation firmware is going to make it harder to play games offline. 1 month ago:
But you’d still need to download the games onto the ps5 in the cabin in the woods, assuming this doesn’t apply to games on disc.

You’ve heard of correspondence chess, how about commode-ance chess?
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 1 month ago:
You’re right that is a continuous process, so there’s no frame rate as such. 24 fps is just the lowest framerate that doesn’t look “framey” in videos, but can go as low as 12 and still reliably perceive it as movement, which is why most stop motion films are done at 12fps.
The amount of motion blur we see on fast moving objects is similar to a 24fps camera with a normal shutter angle setting, but we don’t perceive any blur when we turn our heads or move our eyes like a camera at that fps does.
There’s also our reaction time, which can vary a lot depending on a plethora of factors, but averages around 250ms, which is similar to 4fps 😅
- Comment on Does anyone watch Google, Microsoft, etc the way Cop Watch watches cops? 1 month ago:
They mostly just provide a good summary of various companies privacy policies, for whatever that’s worth 😅

Oh I see, I guess the hype had died down by the time I was old enough to be aware of any.
- Comment on Time Crisis Is Returning With A New AI Powered Gun That Works On Modern TVs | Retro Dodo 1 month ago:
The new part is using AI as a marketing buzzword, it was previously mostly just used as a descriptor to put complex systems in simple terms, but now it’s being used in marketing to pretend things have something like Data from Star Trek’s brain running them 😅

But you’d need a higher velocity to orbit closer…
- Comment on Launches 2 months ago:
Why would you need to entirely cancel the earths orbital velocity, surely you just need to cancel a tiny bit of orbital velocity?
- Comment on Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat 2 months ago:
They should install automated blinds like some high end luxury cars have except make them out of that silvery windscreen sunshade stuff.
- Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be 2 months ago:
Reminds me of screenshots of internet explorer with 20 search bar addons from the 2000s 🤣
- Comment on Why is goverment debt not calculated as a % of tax revenues instead of GDP? 2 months ago:
The zeitgeist isn’t something that gets served, it is the resulting cultural mood from other things that are being served.
I think you mean it serves the status quo.

This meme would be better if the photoshoping was worse…
- Comment on YouTube creator sues Nvidia and OpenAI for ‘unjust enrichment’ for using their videos for AI training 2 months ago:
At the moment AI is less creative and more derivative, but it could be in par or better in the future.
The bigger issue is that we’re living in a world that has a lot of artificial scarcity and people still have to work to survive, and AI is taking away many of the only jobs that make life worth living while doing it worse but also a lot cheaper.

Also useful for devices where you want more storage but the device only has an SD card slot such as phones, Nintendo switch, steam deck etc.

Also could be handy for smuggling banned movies/tv shows into authoritarian countries that block VPNs?

Filming 8K in a raw format maybe?
- Comment on Why do people complain about multiple streaming platforms existing? 3 months ago:
For keeping track of what episode you’re up to, maybe try plex or something
- Comment on Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line 3 months ago:
Discontinuing products seems more like it would be to justify laying them off?

It looks like they used AI to modify a photo.
Also in other photos of the ampex 230 plus that looks like it’s using the same monitor it’s an amber screen: legacydevice.tumblr.com/post/…/amp
