I've been thinking of doing this for my server. How do you organize the extra features?

I mean if you think of a car as a personal privacy pod, many people don’t have those inside their homes. I remember seeing this a lot on our walks during covid. I think some people needed a private place for a phone call or just needed to get away from their family for an hour or so when there was literally nowhere else to go.

Hate cars all you want, but this is hardly indicative of car culture.

Haven’t watched this particular video, but we watched the iPhone 14 one when my wife was shopping for a new phone a year ago.

He only does landscapes, so he won’t answer the question for indoor lighting.

And I guess I can walk my claim back a bit. I’m just a bit frustrated since I had a hard time finding a purpose built camera that could match an iPhone while being remotely pocketable.

Ricoh does alright for my purposes.

I mean you had to wait 20 seconds for it to buffer, so you were at least going to give it a fair shot.

Specifically this one which I find especially haunting:

Like not only are we intelligent life, we look like this, and we look like this on the inside, and we have technology that can see ourselves on the inside. And we just thought you’d find that neat.

I mean computational photography is exactly how you beat physics. And it’s shockingly good.

Highly recommend this guy’s videos on the matter. Can’t find a good comparison at very low light, but even dusk conditions are fine for a new iPhone.

The rail car in question is not grade separated.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago (7 children)

We have the South Lake Union Railcar in Seattle. Nobody rides it. And like I’m not one to blame infrastructure, but you can literally walk faster than it moves. Meanwhile there are shitloads of buses with plenty of ridership. Many fully electric with overhead wire.

Meanwhile bicyclists routinely get their wheels caught in the tracks and eat it.

I can’t imagine the efficiency of rail makes much difference in a city environment. The best argument I’ve heard for rail is that it’s more a commitment to developers that the route won’t be changed any time soon.

What I don’t get is if you have to pay actors, camera crew, rent on sets and equipment, etc, how much can you save on a writer by using AI? Especially since the expectations are already so low?

Is this just a way to avoid hiring union work? I assume these actors aren’t union?

Poor Quibi. Totally ahead of it’s time.

Yeah way too big for my purposes. I needed a camera that’s with me literally all the time (as much as a phone would be).

He GRIII doesn’t have interchangeable lenses, but it’s still a 24MP APS-C with an f/2.8 prime. I’d argue it’s as “real” a camera as any other.
