they need to make a peptide that you can snort and use it to get immediate energy that last about 20-30 minutes then leaves you a good happy buzz for the next few hours. ideally white and in powder form

@anishmoonka Yup. I’ll stick with the remux files..

Your Netflix "4K" stream and a 4K disc put the same number of pixels on your screen. But the disc version of a two-hour movie is about 70 gigabytes. The stream is about 14. Same pixels, roughly five times less data filling them. You see it first in dark scenes. The stream doesn't have enough data to tell dark grey from black, so your TV just mashes it all into chunky blocks. Then you notice sunsets looking like a paint-by-numbers, with visible stripes where smooth color should be. Film grain is probably the biggest casualty. Directors add that slightly textured look on purpose to make movies feel cinematic. Streaming compression reads it as noise and wipes it. That's where the weirdly plastic, waxy look on a good OLED comes from. One comparison I can't stop thinking about. A regular 1080p Blu-ray (the older HD format, not even 4K) pushes about 40 megabits of data per second to fill 2 million pixels. A 4K stream pushes 15-25 to fill 8 million pixels. Four times the pixels. Less data. A plain HD disc from 2008 can look sharper than a brand new 4K stream. Sound is worse. Netflix sends "Dolby Atmos" audio at about 768 kilobits per second, compressed, with parts of the original permanently deleted. A disc sends TrueHD Atmos at up to 18,000, lossless, nothing removed. Up to 23x more sound data. If dialogue sounds flat when you're streaming, that's not your speakers. Netflix is getting better at this. As of late 2025, 30% of their streaming runs on a newer compression method called AV1, the same picture at a third less data. They also strip film grain out before compressing, then rebuild it on your TV during playback. Saves over a third on file size for most content, and up to two-thirds for really grainy movies. The rebuilt grain looks solid. The tradeoff won't go away, though. Netflix has to deliver a file that works over spotty rural Wi-Fi and gigabit fiber, adjusting quality frame by frame to whatever your connection can handle. A disc reads plastic. Same quality every time.

@ICannot_Enough Plenty of these still around in NYC - typically service elevators, operated manually.

Nobody is skeptical of autonomous elevators because nobody alive today was even around to see a human elevator operator in real life before the last one got laid off. Automation is far safer.

@cryptopunk7213 They announced these plans vaguely back in 2024 when they spoke about integrating ChatGPT. The plan was to allow others to be able to plug in, and users could choose whichever they preferred IIRC

lmfao fucking genius move by Apple. Siri now becomes the #1 AI model without ever running its own model or spending a dollar on training 😂 let me explain: - Claude, chatgpt, gemini can now plug into Siri’s 2.5 billion users - so Siri becomes the default interface for AI chatbots = gets ALL the credit - Apple will likely tax 30% of all chatgpt, claude subs via appstore = more $$$$$ - Apple becomes the distribution layer for everyone else’s AI. taxes the app layer - oh and apple STILL HAS ACCESS to gemini’s model weights to build their own fucking foundation model 😂 silver lining for anthropic: they’ve been behind in consumer users - now apple gives them access to 2.5B of them 👍🏽👍🏽 the AI economy will run on ios and apple and they barely lifted a finger to do it genius

@markgurman Wasn’t this always the plan? When they announced the ChatGPT integration they always stated the goal would be to be able to interface with others as well and let the user choose whichever they preferred.

BREAKING: Apple is planning to open up Siri to run any AI service via their App Store apps as part of iOS 27, dropping ChatGPT as the exclusive outside partner in Apple Intelligence and Siri. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@SuperSisi I miss MUGEN days 😂

Goku vs Street Fighter and they saved the best fight for last!!

@IGN Giving me some Ong Bak vibes

This new martial arts thriller starring Xie Miao and Joe Taslim looks insane. Watch the exclusive trailer for The Furious:

@BernieSanders Incoming UBI..

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

@usenaive Terrible name 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

Doesn’t really matter, since cams are always needed and these cars from others can’t drive solely on ANY other sensor anyway. So if cams are blocked, they’re all essentially in the same position, regardless of having lidar or other sensors. The solutions for keeping cams clear exist already as well.

@christiannnn_m @OverlyTrev @RJScaringe @GrumpyTesla_ @Uber Remind me what happens when the cameras get blinded by sunlight or dirt/debris going 60 on the highway with 5 lanes of speeding traffic? Cyber Coffins.

I’m excited to announce a partnership with @Uber. As part of this, Uber plans to invest up to $1.25 billion in Rivian and deploy up to 50,000 R2 robotaxis. This partnership accelerates our path to Level 4 autonomy and supports our goal of building one of the safest autonomous platforms in the world—across both shared and personally owned vehicles. The combination of Rivian’s rapidly growing data flywheel, our in-house RAP1 inference platform (800 TOPS), and our multi-modal perception stack provides a powerful foundation to scale autonomy quickly and responsibly over the next couple of years.

@1ssve One finger to hold the app you’re moving, the other finger to tap on the folder itself.

apple there has to be a better way to add an iPhone app to a folder than chasing said folder round the screen as it carries out fighter jet level evasive manoeuvres

@financedystop Queens NY disagrees

He explains the differences between terms like roads, streets, avenues, and boulevards and there’s actually a meaning behind when each one is used

@SamLesante2 @Dexerto Wouldn’t be surprised. Kinda crazy because you get YT Music also, which directly competes with Spotify and Apple Music, which are like $11-$13/mo. So it’s like YT Premium is only a few bucks. Pretty good value IMP

@silvalynin @Dexerto I give it 1 more year until that 14/mo comes with ads lol.

YouTube viewers watching on TVs will soon see 30-second unskippable ads unless they buy Premium The change is aimed at making viewing habits more closely resemble traditional television

@SamLesante2 @Dexerto Eh not on my Roku or Apple TV connected to the 65” 🤷🏽‍♂️ $14/mo for what I leave on most of the time. May as well be free 😂

@silvalynin @Dexerto Brave browser ftw.

@SamLesante2 @Dexerto Yup, I know. Pushing us back into the days of piracy. It is what it is…easy to get that sort of stuff elsewhere. The YT content, not so much, at least in my experience.

@silvalynin @Dexerto You realize it never stops though, right? There are plenty of subscription services that now force paying customers to watch ads lol.

@RealTimeRating Might sound crazy, but….pregnancy pillow.

Los científicos advierten que dormir en esta posición es lo peor que puedes hacerle a tu columna.

@AutismCapital Will allow it to work similar to how Grok is working in Tesla’s for finding and then navigating to waypoints. And just for general searching using natural language. Could be pretty useful..

Has anyone in the history of ever asked for AI to be integrated into Google Maps? Why?

@NostalgiaFolder Still use open shell today to get back to this..

Why did we get rid of this?

@BillyM2k Never had the ability to. Interesting times ahead…

i keep hearing that we'll be in an "age of abundance" / utopia state, and that's pretty much the least likely thing to happen, to me everyone who says that sounds like they're taking crazy pills humans aren't built for a world like that, never have been, never will be

@AltaniBookNerd @Dexerto 😂😂 nahh but tbh YT’s one of the better deals out there out of all the services I pay for 🤷🏽‍♂️

@silvalynin @Dexerto CORPO-RAT SHILL DETECTED!!!!
