    I really want to know why they implemented a piece of software that’s this complicated in assembly. Is it just speed? Then I also want to know what all the great numbers of video codecs I have just uncovered after clicking on “the input format must be .y4m” in their Readme. Since OP seem to know about the 306 options of the official AOM encoder a little, and rav1e also sounds rather CLI-heavy, this also gets my uneducated head wondering where these products are used. Do other app developers drop it in like ffmpeg? Probably. It also sounds like Disney & Co. just have some servers that they have scripted to “encode the corporate fortune”. How true is this?

    i didn’t like the fifth one much either, though that may just be because it takes the sad but funny acceleration/power creep of stupidly impossible technology like bistromath, time travel, and (AI assisted!) multiverse time travel to its conclusion, it all stops feeling special, or because the only thing all this does to problems of capitalism (the cathedral of chalesm) and other human problems is make it more absurd (for comedic effect). idk i still left out like more than half the reason further books in the series feel more depressing than earlier ones, as I don’t know it. Why is it a trilogy?


  • I’ve been thinking: if we’re a nice kind of government, couldn’t we just print the money we’re going to use to for example, give americans in poverty 10000$ ? This would “just devalue the money the rich people have”, so something about international exchange rates is propably the thing that stops me from mentally circumventing the freedom-based value that we can’t just take money people have earned. really gross food for thought
