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.
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.
I bought a Canon T2i in 2010. 19MP, APS-C sensor. Had it fitted with a $1200 17-55 F/2.8 IS lens. Used to bring it to family Christmas every year for the group photo until around 2016. My cousin handed me her phone to get the family on it as well.
Between improvements in sensor technology, whatever post processing was happening at the time, and the lenses on the iPhone, it blew my camera away.
It’s actually pretty hard to find a midrange camera now because phones are so good. I switched to a dumb phone last year. Best pocketable camera I could find to complement it that wasn’t a toy was the Ricoh GRIII which came out in 2019. Got a 4K camcorder. Best I could do was a Sony AX700 from 2018.
Stares are 1100 DVDs on the wall 👀

That’s a good deal. I was looking at eBay and Tindie where even kits were $150-$200 if they were in stock at all.
That’s a great link. Also looks like the cheapest option for what I’m trying to do, so I might just buy it from there.
It’s a bummer that the Sanni reader parts are so expensive despite the design being open source.
Call it a hobby. Having the data from the physical cart brings me joy. Also, I’m looking to rebuild my collection from childhood for when the Analogue3D finally comes out.
If it used the notification display to show your most recent calculation reault, that might be useful. I know some apps mis-use the notification counter for other things.
My uncle who asks which peloton instructors I like informing me that he only picks the hot ones.
Like, you’ve been married to a woman for 30 years. I get it, you’re straight.
There are solutions for this, but they’re a little more abstract. Like some people sit on yoga balls instead of chairs. They force you to keep your muscles engaged all the time lest you fall over.
They even have some designed to be desk chairs. https://www.sithealthier.com/products/classic-balance-ball-chair
There are also sit/stand desks.
I do a lot of my browsing from an iPhone 11. At least twice a day, a page will crash and reload halfway through whatever article I was trying to read. I get it’s a few generations old, but since when do you need state of the art tech to view what should be a static page.
Thanks for looking
Also unlike modern day streaming, they didn’t have to worry about obtaining the rights to the movies. They could just buy the DVD from any retailer.
So there were no platform exclusives to worry about.
Considering a large portion of cryptography is based around large prime numbers being incredibly hard to find, I find it hard to believe anybody has found a significant pattern in them. That’s kind of the whole point.
Can you link to what you’re talking about?
It was reusable. The idea was basically the current iTunes model (rent for two days or buy forever) except with abstracting the license from the data since internet speeds weren’t fast enough to stream video.
So you’d “buy” or “rent” the license to watch the disc. Once your rental was up, you could give the disc to a friend who could buy or rent it. The idea was to basically use sneakernet to handle the heavy lifting and the internet just for license/DRM purposes.
Considering people today are willing to pay $10 to “own” a movie that’s on some server they will never see, it really wasn’t a terrible idea. Especially since the licenses were stored on the hardware, so your movies would continue to play even if the server shut down. It’s just separating content from rights management is a really abstract concept and they didn’t do a good job explaining it.

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.
