Would you be fine doing those jobs if you were paid more? Be a model employee until you meet with the person that can change your salary. Find the number that would make you happy and ask for it. If they don’t meet that number, then slack off.

Don’t be emotional. You are a tool like a wrench to them. If they can buy a wrench cheaper, they will. If you are a great wrench that they will profit from purchasing, they will pay extra.

But the op is complaining about the much lighter .net where the shared libraries for all apps are a fraction of the space of bringing in an entire OS environment for each and every app.

.net isn’t Windows.

Don’t even get me started on .NET or the various and sundry “redistributables” constantly required by every tool you try to use.

It’s absurd but Linux is far worse. Instead of addressing library bloat and versioning we have Docker which just throws EVERYTHING into a bag and makes you download an entire OS environment space to run one app.

Unless you are on a private tracker, the trackers go up and down and require changes every few years too.

Thanks but as I said, it’s about the collecting, not the watching. I captured/filtered/converted shows like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command for my nephew 25 years ago. I’m not going to delete it despite that no one is watching it or will watch it for decades (maybe when nephew has kids or if I have grandkids). It’s not even available on any streaming.

I think if I ran maintainerr, it would tell me to delete everything except the home videos that my mother in law likes to watch.

I’ve hosted my own media since before Plex existed. But I understand that almost all of my video is “collection”, not actually useful.

My server was useful for about 5 years when my kids were young and it provided all their shows without ads.

I’m starting to delete stuff.

What is AOT? Attack on Titan?

That’s weird. I have never had a doorbell fail. My current doorbell is a 1990’s system that goes to mini crt displays in the house. Kind of like this

It’s over 25 years old.

I also have several noname IP cameras around the outside and they’ve never failed. One is almost 10 years old now.

Not op but in my case I’ve seen huge differences between USB cards and high quality cards. 20 years ago I used to use bt878 capture cards. A few years ago I bought a Viewcast Osprey on eBay.

In particular I use a svhs tape player with built in time base corrector. The reason for svhs is because the hardware supports actual svhs output. Vhs tapes are store with luminous and chroma as separate signals. With regular composite output, that data is mixed into one signal. This causes interference patterns like dot crawl and color fringing.

The other big advantage over USB dongles is all the ones I’ve seen don’t let you capture the raw data- it’s pre compressed with lossy like mjpeg or mpeg which is another huge quality drop because you’ll usually want to post process the video with avisynth before compressing it to mpeg4.

My target is for the captured video to look just as good as it originally did on a VHS player on a crt. So the interlaced to progressive conversion is always tricky. I don’t personally do it but one trick to keep resolution is to capture at 60fps and play each 30i field doubled. That way no detail is lost in the source and it uses your eyes to motion blur the fields together.

The bot must be upvoting itself because yet again it listed a bunch of random abbreviations that aren’t in the thread at all.

Someone claimed it’s not ai slop but a bot with GitHub code but that code doesn’t produce this result.

I have no idea what you are using to browse Lemmy because the only notification I get is a number next to my profile icon in web browser or Thunder. And that’s often delayed by several days so I frequently look through my own old posts to find replies because don’t get reliable notifications.

It was on YouTube like 6 years ago. I did it 4 years ago and they’ve been running great.

You need to get a lifepo4 that has a lead acid drop in BMS.

Lifepo4 charges at 14.2. So it’s not only safe, but it means the lifepo4 is undercharged which dramatically increases its lifespan at the cost of runtime.

I’ve done it successfully for two Tripplite 1500va and two APC 750va UPS’s. They’ve been running for over 4 years now.

I bought a lifepo4 that specifically said it had a lead acid drop in replacement BMS (battery management system).

The only problem I have had was when I had a two day power outage. After running to complete drain ( and they lasted over 2x longer than my older lead acid), the Trupplites wouldn’t charge up after power was restored. I had to pull the batteries and charge them outside the ups to get everything working again.

Under normal use they have worked great.

Lifepo4 works fantastic as a drop in because the peak charge of lead acid is only 80% charge of lifepo4. This means that while you don’t get full capacity out of the lifepo4, it never fully charges which dramatically increases the lifepo4 lifespan.

Isn’t it a huge delay to swap out to a different ~30b model every few minutes depending on the use case?

What local model are you using?

You are both correct That certainly was considered AI.

Notice my use of past tense as well as Zeoic use of past tense. I said chess was AI as you stated. Zeoic denied that chess was ever AI.

" the term ‘artificial intelligence’ was coined by John McCarthy in the proposal for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference [4] . In its beginning, Computer Chess was called the Drosophila of Artificial Intelligence. "

Expert Systems:

Lisp is a language USED for AI research, that doesn’t make it AI itself. “Lisp was an AI language.”

I didn’t say Lisp was AI. I said it was a language used for AI.

Chess programs were AI. Expert systems which were regular logic were AI. Lisp was an AI language. Chat bots were AI.

This is a bot which makes it a type of AI and it’s really inaccurate.

Detection is completely broken because it finds terms that aren’t anywhere in the thread, even as substrings.
