Sadly most liberals are of the neo variety these days.

Maybe not a popular viewpoint, but I find this kind of behavior a bit annoying. They started their manoeuvre before you showed up, just let them finish.

Animal lovers left thousands out of pocket after 'disaster' pet show London Pet Show Live 2025, held at Olympia London at the weekend, was hailed by organisers as the 'UK's biggest show for pet lovers' - but vendors say only 2,000 people attended the event.

One time the company I worked for asked for X years experience with a programming language that had existed for less than X years. Director of Engineering: "We want people motivated enough to say have the experience even if they don't."

Yeah if that gray car at 1:15 turned left things may have gotten messy.

One-two punch of "you should follow American conventions" and "the cyclist is always wrong we just have to figure out why".

Right... I need the software that lets me search for "cat" in my videos. Presumably AI powered. Well, not "cat" since that would be all of the videos, but something similar.

I mean, do you really have to ask?

I don't even want this for editing, I just want to find my own videos that are relevant to particular situations. Eg I met a guy today who showed me a photo of his brother, who passed away recently but used to beg with his cat. I know I've met them before... but which video was it?

Does this mean I'm fully integrated into British culture now?

Yeah I use lower res/bitrate Prores proxies. GPU can natively decode h.264 and the CPU handles the Prores encoding, so I can transcode at like 400fps, which is fairly convenient.

Huh, the CEO worked for Avid for a few years (I used to use their video file format, recently switched to Apple Prores), and we've got a few professional mutuals back in San Francisco. Supposedly can be as low as $50 (Β£37) a month.

I literally got rammed by a baby, not sure what else to say.

Spider-cat, spider-cat, does whatever a... uh... tube dwelling spider can. 🐱

Are we at the point with AI where I can install something and have it analyze my videos and then find specific events or places when I ask it? Or is it still just deepfake nudes and lying?

Speed in kph, and watts. Probably only interesting to dedicated cyclists. πŸ™‚

Lol look at these numbers, that's a 100 watt headwind at least.

I'm not mad, just disappointed. This is what we call a microaggression.

This is how windy it was today, pushed that rear disc wheel around like a sail.

Passed him a couple minutes later and didn't see him again. Guess his little import didn't have the power to get up the hill.

Six years in London! Little did we know what adventures awaited us. I didn't do a lot of documenting back then - I didn't have much of a social presence, but Sigrid kept things interesting! 🐱

Spitalfields Market is a mere 350 years old, but they've still got pigeons to kekeke at. πŸ±πŸ•ŠοΈ
