Sure, but people probably don’t expect ram slots on a smart watch. Just a replaceable screen, housing, mobo, dials, and battery would do a lot.

Right, that’s probably true. Video encoding hardware and storage is incredibly cheap, but we get talks from netflix engineers where they’re talking about how they’re limited by dram bandwidth on their servers.

Some napkin math:

Youtube has ~7M average concurrent viewers.

https://streamscharts.com/overview?platform=youtube

A 1080p av1 stream is roughly 2-3mbits, maybe 5mbits for 60fps. You could serve all of those users with 14tbps of bandwidth, then.

Stockholm peering pricing for 14tbps (rough ballpark at this scale tbf) over 43x 400gbit ports at a Stockholm Internet eXchange, would cost about 240k EUR/month, with a 25% volume discount.

For comparison, Mastodon’s monthly donations are about 30k EUR/month, and lemmy.world receives about 2k EUR/month.

Super rough calculations, but there’s probably enough of a base in the fediverse for us to take over like 5% of Youtube’s viewer base, funded through donations. Not as cheap as wikipedia, but still doable with a committed open-source community. Beyond that, and a netflix/spotify/nebula subscription model would allow to fund further market share.

It’s notable to see though that Nebula seems to have millions in monthly revenue, but only about 700k subscribers (aka barely 100k concurrent streams). However I believe the majority of their expenses are going towards their creators and towards marketing for future growth.

But yeah, I think network effect is a bigger barrier than cost here.

The fact that they can do expensive, on-the-fly video processing like this, and still make a profit, proves that video hosting costs are not an insurmountable barrier for the open-source internet. We need to make hardware accelerated peertube ubiquitous, and get creators to move over.

His coaching from his campaign is showing through. They desperately want him to be the law and order candidate, “weathering the storm from the militant left”, but he just can’t help but attack the left and encourage further violence. He will sabotage his own campaign and image if he starts encouraging violence here.

He’s implying that he thinks that someone should, but even the literal point he’s making is not true.

pretty sure Republicans care about counterpoints if their counterpoint to “Republicans are shutting down the govt” is “them illegals!”. The correct reply is “your kids!”

That’s the counterpoint. The data shows that it was already illegal for “illegals” to vote and there are no reported cases of it. However, there are hundreds of cases of republicans using this law to prevent (your) college students from voting. If you have a son or daughter away at college, do they have their birth certificate with them so they can register to vote?

The Republicans are trying to prevent college students from voting with this bill.

Aren’t coops basically democratic condos? In Sweden we have “bostadsrätt” which are condos governed by a democratic resident association. They’re good for democratic control over housing, but they still require a mortgage and they’re still subject to market speculation. Some of the apartments can be rentals, but that still means you have a landlord, just that your landlord is your neighbors.

Having the city or the state as your landlord seems like it would be more ideal, or at least a balance of coops and public housing.

Intel a310 is the best $/perf transcoding card, but if P40 supports nvenc, it might work for both transcode and stable diffusion.

The issue is that Israel is an apartheid state, as understood by the UN. It’s one thing if civilians on annexed territory had equal rights as Israeli citizens, but instead civilians are treated inhumanely in violation of international law. Civilians are tried in military court, evicted from their homes by occupying settlers, and generally do not have equal rights under the law.

It is a concerted effort not just to annex territory, but also to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from occupied land. Ethics regarding annexation aside, the war in Israel isn’t about simple annexation.

You’re describing genocide. That is not what is happening in Kursk.

See article 49 of the Geneva convention:

Civilians, by definition, do not “willingly engage in a war”.

Isn’t this a 30 day vulnerability since this vulnerability has been known for a whole month?

I hate the buzzword 0-day.

Yeah, I mean Rocky Raccoon is legendary. I know it’s one of me and my friends’ favorite songs. A big ballad masterpiece. I guess Tommy and Rocky Raccoon were both part of a rock opera trend in 1968, not really sure.

The lyrics are amazing, with lots of double meanings, stylistic characters, and cinematic dialogue. The folksy country feeling and Paul’s affected southern accent is classic. The snare drum when rocky gets shot. The twist at the end with the song ending with the listener not really knowing if Rocky dies or not. The song also inspired the Guardians of the Galaxy character, Rocket Raccoon.

I honestly disagree that the Beatles were putting out “filler”. Much of Beatles’ lesser known stuff wasn’t filler, it was just not as popular. There’s some real quality and ingenuity in the vast majority of Beatles songs. There’s definitely some weaker songs that could be polished a bit, but even those songs often were inspirational for the entire industry.

Honestly, name any song and it’s probably well known for something.

Major projection going on from Jizzy Daybed. When he says this stuff, it sounds like he was really miserable at his venture capital job, and that his escape was reassuring himself with his value system, saying “at least I’m a manly man, unlike these other feminine elites”. God forbid he embraces his feminine side and spends time with his family.

Weirdo who can only talk about his ideal vision for women, invasions from China, and how every black and brown person is a violent conman.
