>I'm not a hardware engineer, I've failed miserably in software engineering and now run a VPS host.
I’m curious how hard hosting VPS as a business was to get off the ground? I’ve worked 5 years previously as a Linux sysadmin, but am getting pretty bored at my current job (administering Cisco VOIP systems). Think I’d rather go back to that
Gigabit Ethernet require 4 twisted pairs i.e. 8 individual cables. 100Mb Ethernet requires 2 pairs i.e. 4 individual cables. At least in standard configuration
There is a standard for Gbit over a single pair: Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). But it's more of a rare automotive thing, so I'm also confused how the grandparent made this work.
It was gut-wrenching to hear after a weekend of sleepless effort. This was a community I've been a part of for decades, and I've never had my work received like that before.
But at the same time, this was right after the strikes and just as AI was looking like it might threaten jobs. I totally and completely understand these folks - most of whom are actively employed in the industry - feeling threatened and vulnerable.
In the past two years the mood has definitely lightened. More filmmakers are incorporating AI into their work and it's becoming accepted now. Of the films that used AI in last October's 48 Hour Film Project, none of them were booed, and a few of them won awards.
We animated all of the gore in ours with AI (warning - this is bloody and gory) :
(This link will get rate limited - sorry. An untold volume of indie films are on the "deep web" as Google Drive links.)
We really had to rush on this one. We only had 24 hours due to a scheduling snafu and had to roll with the punches. The blood didn't do exactly what we wanted, and we had to keep the script super tight. Limited location, serendipitous real party we crashed with a filmmaking request, ...
I have to say, I'm enthralled by your two comments and what you've shared. My favorite director is Richard Linklater, mainly because his storytelling is incredible, but at a close second is the way he has pushed the boundaries of narrative with technology like rotoscoping (and which you referenced). This is a fascinating thread. I'm definitely a fan of your work.
You don't need primary selection to avoid the keyboard, you can also hold right-click on your selection and release it on "copy" (or right-click on your selection then left-click on copy, more intuitive but slightly more cumbersome)
I agree it's less convenient (there's an extra step: explicitly copying the text), but in my experience it's also more reliable as you don't lose it by just selecting anything.
