He will publish all videos of himself in 480p going forward, so that his lawyers can claim each and every clip of him spewing nonsense or outright illegal bullshit are deep fakes made by the woke mind virus Antifa Brigade.

"Just check the pixels, your honor," they will argue, "they don't match up. This is clearly a despicable and fraudulent attempt to draw Mr. Musk and his reputation through the mud".

Yeah, but he'd probably put the videos in 420p, thus giving himself away.

In 1999 I was doing a final year project in uni on two new image compression ideas.
One image took 1-3 hours to 'compress', and to make it quicker it was 256x256 greyscale and not full RBG.

the first part of the Vegas loop cost nearly $60 million. for reference the entire bus system for all of metro Las Vegas costs around $325 million a year.

the boring company, which has accomplished nothing else besides this lovely loop that has like 4 stops, is valued at $5.5 billion

I hope Bethesda makes a follow up to Fallout New Vegas with a mission to explore the loop. it’s littered with corpses who died in burning cars. At the end you fight a boss who keeps ranting about self-driving is just a year away.

Waymo has actual automated taxis in LV already!!! Put those in the death tube at least

Er I guess not waymo but Lyft/Uber/motional/etc have all figured it out already in LV

I know this is from a week ago, but put the image of a seated adult or even a child back there.

The reason the cybrtrk has the lovely bed with weird cab-high walls that it does is because that's the only space available for batteries. The silly Halo Warthog ground clearance aesthetic removes serious capacity from the first row floor, so if you also take away the packs under the bed...

To be fair, this works in Las Vegas.

You go there to be driven around drunk by an Uber driver on meth who needs $300 that night to make the lease on his black Tahoe, get touched by weird people without permission in the middle of the sidewalk, and take pictures by Fake Eiffel Tower before drinking more.

It's all spectacle, and an impractical low-throughput county fair ride like a Boring Loop is fine for the town's sthick. People in this country are astoundingly stupid; our big dumb red light city can be stupid too.

i have a thought:

what if we made a tunnel that's shittier than tunnels from literally 170 years ago

then we pave it bumpier than rails were a century ago

then we buy vehicles that together require far more driver staff than rail ever did, while offering none of the amenities or opportunities for in-transit convenience sales, ALL THE WHILE MOVING FAR FEWER PEOPLE

apparently, the upshot is that ...number go up?

oh i'm fully aware of all that. the problem is that for some reason a majority of the small handful of dbz sites that happened to even have full episodes also seemed to have some kind of cap on their download speed for some stupid reason? like, i had a 33.6k connection at home ( :psyduck: ) but even the T3 connections at my school library barely did much better. by the time one episode would finish, lunch would already be over :argh:

and honestly, looking back it's kind of crazy to see how far we've come in terms of online media. hell, even youtube didn't have 480p videos until 2008!
