I should try it on anime. I was using it on phone videos.

I ran a comparison between libsvtav1 and h264 and h265 and found that libsvtav kinda sucks.

It does produce smaller file sizes at h265, but it tends to add a visible blur.

Compress video to a broadly compatible format:

ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 25 -preset slow -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

This incantation is what I end up needing 99% of the time I do something with ffmpeg.

YouTube and windows movie maker are almost certainly using ffmpeg.

My locally hosted Qwen3 30b said “Walk” including this awesome line:

Why you might hesitate (and why it’s wrong):

• X “But it’s a car wash!” -> No, the car doesn’t need to drive there—you do.

Note that I just asked the Ollama app, I didn’t alter or remove the default system prompt nor did I force it to answer in a specific format like in the article.

EDIT: after playing with it a bit more, qwen3:30b sometimes gives the correct answer for the correct reasoning, but it’s pretty rare and nothing I’ve tried has made it more consistent.

It’s also not as stable as they market it to be

If there are government mandated age verification checks on social media, then even if they’re trivial to bypass, at least it allows parents to stand together with other parents.

Many, if not most, social media sites already have this in the form of a “I assert I’m over 13” button during account creation

My anecdotal 2 cents:

I was in boyscouts and I think it was a space to develop positive masculinity, and to learn things by looking up to older boys who had been through the same experience. I think girls being present would have changed the dynamic, because teenage boys act differently and talk about different things when around teenage girls.

Now that being said I’m certain not everyone in boyscouts developed positive masculinity. Boyscouts is far, far less uniform than people seem to think. There were 2 troops in my home town that were wildly different.

But at least from my anecdotal experience, Boyscouts was a good thing that benefitted from being a boys-only experience, and I wonder how it has changed now that girls can join boyscout troops.

Is all your music in opus?

250 years is an observed pattern, but is not implied to be the cause

When the weather is 100% hot outside how hot is it?

I’ve left reddit but I still go back to look at it every once in a while to see where it’s going

I’m probably going to give this a try, but I think you should make it clearer for those who aren’t going to dig through the code that it’s still LLMs all the way down and can still have issues - it’s just there are LLMs double-checking other LLMs work to try to find those issues. There are still no guarantees since it’s still all LLMs.

There are colloquialisms in Filipino. This is not a normal Filipino-English thing.

Yeah the extensions are important. I have my top bar completely hidden until I open quick search. I like the aesthetic of a completely clear screen with just my desktop background and my windows (I also generally configure macOS this way as well).

I’m a long term Mac user and have been periodically playing with Linux because I want to fully switch eventually. (full disclosure I currently still have a MacBook I use as well as a Linux desktop)

I’ve tried Ubuntu, Debian, Elementary, and probably a few others I’ve forgotten, but the first one I’ve really felt is a viable daily driver OS is Bazzite. This is because it largely just works out of the box, such that you only need to install and tweak extra things if you really want to.

I strongly recommend Bazzite, and I personally prefer the Gnome variant.

Bazzite gives you:

• easy way to update everything in one place
• “App Store” like application to find most apps you’ll need
• all the basic drivers and utilities you’ll need out of the box
• a “Files” application that feels like Finder
• a “Document Viewer” application that feels like Preview (although it’s not as powerful)
• a quick search feature that’s a lot like Apple’s Spotlight, and honestly is way more reliable than Spotlight in more recent macOS releases
• multitouch trackpad gesture support out of the box
• a Settings app that is pretty straightforward to navigate and controls most of the things you would care about
• There are other settings apps for finer tweaking. I know that sounds confusing, but Linux people wouldn’t complain if it wasn’t possible to change every detail somehow. Bazzite does a good job of making the important stuff accessible in the main settings app IMO, so you generally don’t have to worry about the deeper options.

Here’s a guide to get you started:

1. Go here: https://bazzite.gg/
2. Fill out the dropdowns (Q: What hardware are you using? A: Desktop, Q: Who is the vendor of your primary GPU? A: this depends, it’s important to get it right, ask for help if you are unsure, Q: What desktop environment do you prefer? A: I recommend gnome, but KDE is great too, Q: Do you want Steam Gaming Mode? A: No, I want a traditional desktop experience)
3. Click the “download Bazzite …” button
4. Make a USB stick into a bootable Bazzite installer (I recommend using https://etcher.balena.io/)
5. Boot your computer from the USB stick. How to do this depends on the motherboard, but generally means holding down a key while booting (on a Mac it’s Option, on other computers it’s often something like Del or F2 or F12 or something) This will bring you to a menu that you navigate with keyboard arrows until you find the option to boot from the USB
6. Follow the steps from the installer. It’s pretty user friendly.

Note that this will delete all data in the USB you use and the drive you install Bazzite on

Once you have installed Bazzite, here are a few programs I’d recommend (these can be found in the “Bazaar”, which is an “App Store” like way to get programs.

• VLC (like QuickTime in macOS, but honestly VLC is way more powerful)
• LibreOffice (there are a couple FOSS Office suite options, this is the one I personally recommend)
• KdenLive (video editing - like iMovie or Final Cut)
• GIMP (like Adobe Photoshop)
• Disk Usage Analyzer (like DaisyDisk on Mac), if you’ve ever used that
• Mailspring (I haven’t found an email app that is quite as nice as Apple’s but Mailspring is the one I’m currently using)

If you have any other questions let me know! I’m happy to help.

It’s not easy to switch, but it can be made easier if you keep all your important files in one place.

From my experience, you have to manually go to the Nvidia website and download the installer on Windows.

In Linux, depending on the flavor, it may be copy-paste a line from Nvidia’s website, or selecting the right option in the OS settings.
