I see several Amcrest options that look like they have integrated AI object detection. Frigate on the other hand says you should get a “Google Coral Accelerator”. Do you know if Frigate (or RTSP, I guess) has a way to leverage the built in detection capabilities of a camera (assuming they are built in, and not being offloaded to the cloud)? Or am I better of looking at the “dumb” Amcrest cameras, and just assuming all processing for all cameras will happen on my Frigate hardware?

I remember in the UK show Utopia from 2013, a government frames one of the characters for a school shooting by perfectly doctoring security footage to erase the actual hired shooter and replace them with a specific kid. And they do it all in a matter of hours. I remember thinking that tech was unrealistic, probably impossible. The best Hollywood VFX experts would need a week or more to make it that believable, and even they would need a ton of reference of both the kid and the lightning. Purely fantastical tech.

And now, here we are…

Hah I had the same thought. Trillian, though. Named after the character from HHGttG.

Oh hah, I don’t remember that. I can’t decide if I want to watch it again, I fear it won’t hold up.

I haven’t watched it in so long lol. I just remember this track is the opening credits. Which scene? Doesn’t the uncle hit Napolean in the head with meat? Did I make that up?

We about to watch Napoleon Dynamite?

I mean, apparently not. They could have had even more sales once the mod released, but I guess they don’t like money.

Is it really possible…?

If Disney’s lawyers think it’s possible, it’s probably possible. And if it’s not, they’ll figure out who to lobby to make sure it is.

I feel like this is the perfect place for Right to Repair legislation: the product is broken? And it’s outside your support window? Then give customers what they need to make the fix themselves. It’s not good enough to say “meh, guess you gotta buy one of our newer chips then 🤷”

Propaganda has lead a depressing number of people to believe exactly the opposite. MTG literally said, “what, you think Putin just decided to invade Ukraine?”

I forget the order 5 times in the middle of crimping each side, so you’re doing better than me.

Ahh, yeah proton overhead would add up. I wonder if there’s a way to run a single proton instance that launches all of them. When I was running the wow launcher via bottles, I believe it was running both the launcher and the client it spawned using the same resources.

And yeah, I’ve almost never had the minimize on lost focus issue, but I’ve mostly used tiling WMs. The cursor getting locked to the window bounds is way more common.

By multiboxing, you mean running multiple instances of the same mmo client so you can control multiple characters at once? I’m curious what issues you run into doing this in Linux.

Sounds like NakeyJakey’s take from 5y ago. Hoping they take some lessons for GTA6.

To be fair, it’s not easy to make a big open world that feels immersive and competes with linear games in terms of fidelity (art, rendering, sound, music, etc), even if you know exactly where the player will go and what they’ll do. Trying to then account for every possible permutation of game state and player action is an exponential explosion of work. Without some kind of AI figuring out a believable way for the game to respond in any given situation, your only practical option is to make some assumptions, pick a small set of “golden paths” and polish those.

R* devs work their asses off to an ethically questionable degree as it is, I don’t think it’s fair to imply they’re not making the best possible experience at that scale with the technology available.

I think it could be the “digg v4” of reddit. People want to use the most popular free platform. If faced with a paywall on reddit, they’ll just go somewhere else. Most likely people will go over to Threads, but maybe some will find Lemmy.

Cool, then yeah, provided the streamer is still making money on their stream, then paying for a CDN would probably be a good solution.

Might have to try this out some time just to see how complicated it is to get working.

This is easily the most egregious example of police murder I’ve ever seen, my god. She’s across the room with a pot of water, and out of nowhere his training tells him to perceive immediate danger and fire. Open and shut murder case, so glad a body cam was present.

if they do, I imagine they have MORE than enough money to be able to afford a CDN or S3

As long as they’re continuing to run ads or getting enough “subscriptions” to maintain it. I don’t think any twitch streamer, no matter how big an audience they have or how much money they have, would go live just to burn through their cash.

sadly it’s the point that everyone instantly comes up with WHY folks shouldn’t use Owncast.

Yeah, that’s not the argument I’m making. Again, I love the idea of owncast, for all the reasons you gave in your last paragraph, but mostly just to give people the option to not be dependent on a for-profit corporation. But like with youtube, tiktok, and other video-based social platforms, they’re costly to run and moderate, and thus difficult to federate. I’m just trying to understand where its practical limits are right now.

streams are just bunches of files

Are they? Very short lived files I guess? Because the delay on a twitch stream can be as low as a couple of seconds. Not sure about owncast.

At what bitrate? I’m thinking about the big streamers with tens of thousands of viewers at once, most watching in 1080+.

I’m not really familiar with the capabilities of CDNs when it comes to live streams, but that could be good enough.

I’m glad this exists, but as viewers go up, the bandwidth requirements for the streamer are just too large for one person to deal with unless they’re a corporation with ad profits to pay for it.

I suspect for this to be usable at large scale it will need to be bittorrent based.
