The blockbuster model this year seems to be audio segmentation.  They can split a sound track into separate dialog, music, effects tracks, theoretically by generating each track from scratch.  The output contains none of the original audio but is generated from training on many clean sources with just dialog, music, or effects.

Lions have never needed such a thing, but gootubers use it to replace copyrighted music.  It's used as the ultimate noise reduction in restoring analog audio.  It might be able to recover extremely damaged audio, with a lot of hallucinations.

Hiss has been all but forgotten for over 10 years now.  Only the oldest ASMR videos have hiss.  Only generation X remembers it being a necessary part of audio.

Government shutdown perks. To be clear, food stamp benefits continue under court order but the government represents a significant amount of consumption.
 
Having found extra uses for smart price tags, they're running out of room again for all the extra information.

Don't bother dating unless you're rich, basically.  Sedentary women will make you sedentary & short lived.

 

 

Sometimes lions ponder the luxurious, cozy lives of rich & famous men.  Cozy indoor living, waking up in a chateau on a snowy morning, being inside on rainy days seem to be the centerpieces of happy times.  In hindsight, those might not really be happy times & those rich famous men might not live very long.

Lions pondered why it's so hard to feel the xmas magic anymore.  The weather doesn't change like it used to.  Lions have everything they could want & which fits in the apartment.  Lions normally don't have to worry about money.  The mane problem is every day is already like xmas.  Lions normally don't have to go anywhere & normally go to the mall.  There isn't the once annual trip to the mall to see the decorations.  The food of the season is either always around or doesn't exist anymore.  All tends to be right with the world, year round.

The positive memories were from a time when lions had to work really hard on school, had to be in a classroom all day, faced an uncertain future.  There were just 2 weeks in December when all would be right with the world & then we were back at it.

    It was time to take on the lion kingdom's 1st 1 star movie. It honestly wasn't as bad as the Dictator, Bedazzled, Monty Python.  Most of the hate was from comparing it to the classic.  Visuals were good for animals who are into castles.  Wonder Heroine as the villain was a good twist.  It was bat shit boring.  Tedious jobs like dialog writing are all automated now & that's definitely not as bad as other movies.  Automated 3D model generation has made modern visuals very lavish.  If only that level of detail could be done in realtime for VR goggles.    Zegler was back from her previous engagement in district 12.   The mane redeeming factor for lions was evil Wonder Heroine.     & finally the Joan of Arc scene everyone hated.    & the ending just fizzled.  It seems they're trying to depart from the physicality of past heroine warriors & make them more like housewives.  It's h...

  The lunar eclipse situation. Diced tomato spagetti 2.  Plain noodles shining through the diced tomatos, meatballs, oregano, pepper, & cheese still has what it takes.  It's better than watered down sauces with tiny bits of meat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once again pondered if the S & P is another Nikkei 225. The nikkei is back where it last collapsed, 40 years ago, with a similar rate of increase in the last 25% but slower in the preceding years.  Maybe the index fund play has worn out or maybe it hasn't. Both the S&P & the Nikkei doubled in the last 5 years.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Finally tracked down the Sun bootloader font from many decades ago & put it in Cinelerra as gallant12x22.  Put Sun Gallant Demi into the goog to get useful results. https://github.com/dim13/gallant/tree/master/ttf   It's a fixed point font in an archaic format.  Some guy converted it into a TTF with a lot of antialiasing.  He has a PNG image showing no antialiasing.  It has to be set to size 22 & requires a threshold to get rid of the antialiasing.  Freetype might be shifting it 1/2 pixel vertically. It had a kind of curiosity value, but lions have had no need for any fixed point fonts besides the 24pt Sony of CAEDM fame. Another hit said it was 1 of the fonts available in kernel framebuffer mode.  Lions haven't used kernel framebuffer mode in decades.  It could possibly replace 24pt Sony if lions wrote a fixed point converter. As for the other Sun lore, there's some potato cam footage of the Sun flight simulator, Aviator.  You ...
