It’s 4kb it’s the demo scene.

To expand, the rendered to video output is much more than 4k, but the file that produces the output can be small like that, this is usually done by doing a bunch of math to generate the output dynamically.

You can kind of equate it to how a video game can generate 120 frames of 4k footage every second indefinitely, but the game itself is limited in size.

Recording the output takes up space, but you don’t need to record it if you can generate it in demand.

I think text is going to be the most dense, information wise. With plain text you could fit about 2500 average length books in 1gb, that’s not considering any compression.

Additionally, you could create a novel representation of words to reduce the total amount of text and include a key to expand it back out, replacing common groupings of letters like ‘ch’ with ‘k’ for example

If you could get a 2:1 compression ratio from your modified alphabet and a 4:1 compression ratio from traditional compression algorithms you could get up to 20 thousand books! That’s a book a day for 55 years,

I think music is gonna take up way too much space. Compressed all the way down to 32kbps which is going to be a pretty miserable listening experience (everything will sound underwater) you are only going to get ~75 ish hours of music.

Cut that in half for a more tolerable 64kbps.

It’s a decent amount of music, but not a lifetime’s worth of your only entertainment imo.

Edit: for some context on audio, 320kbps mp3 will only net you 7 hours of music.

I hate writing and reading xml compared to json, I don’t really care if one is slightly leaner than the other. If your concern is the size or speed you should probably be rethinking how you serialize the data anyway (orotobuff/DB)

I mean, how do you think websites work? Of course your mouse and keyboard events are available, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to interact with a website at all.

Declarative, functional code is by definition much closer to ai prompts than any imperative code. Businesses are just scared of functional programming because they think that by adopting oop then can make developers interchangeable, the reality is that encapsulation is almost never implemented in a proper way and we should be instead focusing on languages that enforce better systems over slamming oop into everything.

Hell, almost every modern developer agrees that inheritance is just bad and many frown upon polymorphic code as well.

So if we can’t properly encapsulate, we don’t want inheritance or polymorphism, we don’t want to modify state, what are we even doing with oop?

Proton is not actually sandboxed the way an actual container is.

A) if the program running in proton was given root access in some way, say by tricking people into entering their root password for a claimed update, it would have complete normal control of your entire system just like normal.

B)apps running in proton still have access to the regular file system.

Wine isn’t an emulator or a vm.

It’s because computer science degrees aren’t really programming degrees.

A computer science degree sets you up to be a scientist, most common dev jobs are just glorified Lego sets patching libraries together and constructing queries. There is skill, knowledge, and effort in those jobs, but they are fundamentally different.

Most common software dev jobs are closer to the end user than not.

Yes smartphones and tablets have replaced desktops for most general users.

This is something people fail to realize, and I think part of it is because Linux people tend to surround themselves with other Linux people.

I have been helping my friend get into Linux, we picked a sensible distro, fedora, with the default gnome spin. He loves the UI, great.

But there is a random problem with his microphone, everything is garbled, I can’t recreate it on my hardware and it’s unclear.

He reads guides and randomly inputs terminal commands, things get borked, he re installs, cycle continues.

He tries a different distro, microphone works, but world of Warcraft is funky with lutris, so no go.

The result is, all of this shit just works on windows, and it just doesn’t on Linux. Progress has been made in compatibility, but, for example, there was a whole day of learning just about x vs Wayland and not actually getting to use the computer. For someone who has never opened a terminal before, something as simple to you and I as adding a package repo is completely gibberish

Yes you can learn all of this, but to quote this friend who has been trying Linux for the past two weeks “I’m just gonna re install windows and go back to living my life after work”

When you have 20 years of understanding windows, you need to be nearly 1 to 1 with that platform to get people to switch.

I think mostly people are defending themselves, when Linux people jump on the harassment train, it’s just that, harassment.

The game explores the idea of choice and structure in modern video game narratives.

It’s presented to you in such a way that you feel like you can’t break away from the established narrative, everything you do has actually been planned and accounted for, and even intended by the developer.

The parents are likely retired with a good pension and little debt, and so can support the kid indefinitely

Directories are nice because they easily and clearly filter information in a human way and they naturally build a tree that can be parsed quickly by a person.

I like the desktop metaphor, because it’s how I think.

Markdown accomplishes 90% of non technical writing needs imo.

Especially software with hundreds of millions of users, that constantly has to deal with bleeding edge attack vectors and compatibility.

How do you define novel? Because LLMs absolutely have produced novel data.

Lemmy has 50 thousand users and hosts mostly text and static images. YouTube has 2.7 billion users and hosts mostly high quality video. Pretending it’s even remotely the same is pointless.

This video does a great job explaining how it works.

It has to do with system calls for stopping the disc that multi disc games would use.

Edit: I’m a dummy and didn’t realize this video was posted in the op.

But live/real time text communication with relatively informal conversations is new.

Going back 100 years, if you were writing text to have a conversation you were likely sending a letter, this asynchronous communication method means that you were putting more time and effort into each message as it was a lot of effort to get the message to another person (even if that is just hand delivering it to your neighbor)

You also weren’t expecting immediate responses. The expectation is that a decent amount of time is going to pass before the next phase of the conversation.

Instant messaging is basically brand new as far as the history of written language goes. So with it comes new paradigms in discussion.

Emojis offer a great way to express emotions that succinctly convey a lot of information. Great for back and forth conversations.

Being able to react to a message with 👍 is awesome and really not much different from all of the other initialisms that have been developed on the Internet over the years.

Yes that doesn’t mean that opensubtitles can’t take their new found savings and use it to weed out poor quality submissions.

Wikipedia editors do it for free and yet they still maintain a high standard of quality.
