My understanding is that HDR formats utilise 10-bit color formats rather than being strictly equivalent.

From Wikipedia:

HDR video refers to a video encoded in an HDR format. Thoses HDR video have a greater bit depth, luminance and color volume than standard dynamic range (SDR) video which uses a conventional gamma curve.

As it alludes, HDR is more than just a 10-bit color space. Encoding anime in 10-bit doesn't take advantage of the greater luminance or dynamic range. It does take advantage of the color space to minimise banding.

Deep fried and fresh is okay. This includes fish, calamari rings, etc. Anything else is a hard no including oysters, prawns, non deep fried fish, lobsters, crabs, etc

They've committed to investing $10B into OpenAI. The engineering cost of swapping out the Bing integration wouldn't even register.

Massive self-own on the part of the OpenAI board and possibly one of the biggest conceivable wins for Microsoft in a long time. Microsoft has it's hand in both pies (OpenAI and Sam&co) and also has significant developments on the chip side too. Is this the turning point we'll look back on when Microsoft dominates the AI space?

I strongly agree that we don't need to start a war over this, but there has got to be more that we can be doing to show China that their actions have consequences, something to check their blatant disregard for the spirit of cooperation.

It's far better to use this site: fingerprint.com/demo

they are one of the largest actual/commercial vendors of fingerprinting software. their business is to track you.

please try it with brave and post your results. i could be wrong but last time i checked brave failed this test. arkenfox doesn't even allow the tracking to load which I consider a pass although you could argue that just because the results don't load doesn't mean they aren't able to track you in some way

This could have been prevented if there was a good toddler with a gun.

I'm no expert either, this is just what I know from experience and through people smarter than me on the internet. I've put together some resources below for you. Apologies for the reddit links, it's just where this content lives.

encoding 10bit reduces the amount of truncation errors during the encoding, which leads to a much smaller filesize despite the two additional bits. To the point where, despite it storing more information, there being less truncation errors offsets the filesize gain to the point where you get similar or even smaller sizes than 8bit encodes.

Thank you to everyone who recommended soulseek! I've been looking for a platform that has hard to find, high-quality music and after a quick look at the software it looks very promising. I'll report back if I've had any obscure songs I cannot find.

Also it's common for anime to be encoded in 10-bit color rather than 8-bit which can also be used to encode files more efficiently.

Nothing new here, just rehashing all the previous talking points.

I get that we don't want to start a war over a relatively "minor" incident, but a foreign military attacking our military personnel? How is that acceptable in the slightest?

So theoretically the non-profit board had a disagreement with Sam's desire to push for higher profits in the for-profit subsidiary. Hence, the disagreement over how to maximise revenue.

The bigger wtf is saying the article is only 47 words

And most creators want to get paid for the work they put into their videos.

Exactly. Could have just said YouTube is closed source from the start when ReVanced is 100% open-source.

I understand that and wouldn't have commented if you said that. Instead you said that, quote, ReVanced, end quote, is not open source.

I'm confused about your stance on ReVanced. It's about as open-source as you can get https://github.com/revanced/revanced-patches

The backlash is because people do not want bots to overrun and kill our communities because we recognise that is exactly what they do. Even if a bot were to post something interesting it is reducing the opportunity for a human to post the same thing. This reduces engagement in the long run. Communities are extremely dependant on posters, not just commenters. You could have a bot post an interesting article that stirs a lot of discussion, but in the long run fewer people will be coming back as there is no incentive to put any work in.

Look what's happened to Facebook for example. Most of the feed got overrun by generated content instead of user posts. Now who seriously engages with Facebook other than just endlessly scrolling and your odd person who overshares every intimate detail.

These are really cool, thanks.
