this community is awesome
  • It's possible that I'm not familiar enough with it, but in my experience OpenSCAD makes the vast majority of projects take way longer compared to non-scripting-based CAD software. I learned Onshape for a class and haven't used OSCAD since. (though it definitely still has some niche uses)

  • Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC?
  • AV1 is very efficient (around twice as good as h264), but a filesize that low was almost definitely because the default encoding settings were more conservative than the ones used to encode the blu-ray. The perceptual quality of that 1.5gb file will be noticeably lower than the 44gb one

  • Based on the given statements:

    The box is yellow and red.
    If the box is yellow, it is good.
    If the box is blue, it is unhappy.
    If the box is good and happy, the box is awesome.
    If the box is red, it is happy.
    

    We can deduce the following:

    The box is yellow, and according to statement 2, if the box is yellow, it is good.

    Now, according to statement 4, for the box to be awesome, it needs to be both good and happy. However, we don't have information about the box being happy. Statement 5 only mentions that if the box is red, it is happy, but we know the box is yellow and red, not just red.

    Therefore, based on the given information, we cannot determine whether the box is awesome or not.

  • LLMs, IIRC, are really bad at IQ-test type questions that require abstract reasoning, especially if they require multiple steps. So, something like

    The box is yellow and red.
    If the box is yellow, it is good.
    If the box is blue, it is unhappy.
    If the box is good and happy, the box is awesome.
    If the box is red, it is happy.
    Is the box awesome?

    is what I'd use.

  • I just had to guard a bank vault against a guy that thought he could open it by bludgeoning it with bananas. Can I use this to negotiate for more paid vacation days?
  • There was an account that made a ton of posts in different communities implying that they were planning a banana-themed bank robbery. (asking if the bananamobile could outrun a police car was their most popular post, for example)
    The account's either been deleted or banned, unfortunately, so there's nothing I can link to.

    We're one of the largest communities on Lemmy, and I see a lot of people around the site asking what exactly this place is. I know we have a sidebar, but maybe a pinned post with an explanation of how the community came about & why every post is titled rule would help

    Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?
  • I've never administrated a Lemmy instance, but I can't shake the feeling that the traffic and activity that would generate would be a massive blow to the infrastructure we have right now. I can't name anybody at the moment, but maybe we should start with someone a bit smaller?

  • Rule
  • Eventually somebody's going to pull the lever, either accidentally or deliberately, so it's best to flip it while it kills the least amount of people.
    I guess b/c of that it's sort of like the regular trolley problem.

  • YouTube --> PeerTube Next?
  • If you're taking a similar route to YouTube, you also need a ton of CPU/GPU power and/or specialized hardware. YouTube transcodes every video into 2 (3 for videos with >~2M views) different formats in 5 different resolutions. A community-run service could skip on some of that, but it'd come at the cost of lower quality, less support for older devices, or higher bandwidth usage.

  • Titan sub: crew have died after catastrophic loss of pressure chamber, US Coast Guard confirms
  • I think it's more how uncommon the situation is, the complexity and odds of the rescue, and the 'ticking clock' effect that came from them only having 96 hours of oxygen. Stories need to be interesting to get mass media coverage (look at the Tham Luang cave rescue - none of them were billionares), and, as incredibly bleak as this sentence sounds, a boat capsizing with hundreds onboard just isn't interesting enough.
