Lately began encountering problems when pasting media from different projects with different samplerates or framerates.  This was the most widespread case of the problem in the last 30 years.  It seemed to be from a period of heightened music editing.

 Paste audio from a timeline with a lower samplerate to a timeline with a higher samplerate: inserting adds silence after the new data.

 Paste audio from a timeline with a higher samplerate to a timeline with a lower samplerate: inserting works properly.

If the operation contains video & audio, the tracks behave the same based on differences in their respective rates.

 The paste logic is replicated everywhere, keyframes, edits, file loads.

For now, it resamples the ingested EDL  in MWindow::paste_edls by calling new_edl->resample().  This previously didn't update the ingested EDL's sample rate, which broke later calls to track->get_length().  Now it does update the sample rate after the resample call.

The problem is pasting between projects of different sample rates is not ideal.  That's why it was never debugged.  The glitch would motivate the user to fix the sample rates.

No-one else wants to die.  US is out of bullets.  The only option is really to quickly back out of Iran like nothing happened.  All we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.  

 

 

The end of the swagger is near.  He's getting booted even though the problem is the age old quagmire of an organized military fighting a determined insurgency.

 


 Straight of Hormuz from space.  Figure the speedy withdrawal happens when the world is minutes from running out of oil, Trump declares victory, & Hegseth resigns after having the little talk.

Meanwhile, a humanitarian crisis in Cuba.  Pondered how the economy there basically stopped in the 1950's, nothing was manetained since then, & no-one seemed to do anything.  News of building collapses abounded after 2015.  A luxury hotel in Havana was a crumbling ruin.

 Apparently, the communist government has been living on subsidies since the 1950's.  At least the government has.  During the everything boom of 2014-2019, there was Techweek 2015 in Havana & the Casey Neistat video.

There are still startup conventions like that elsewhere, but they seem to have dwindled.  Noting the disappearance of startup conventions like Techweek, SXSW, Y combinator, TED, Techcrunch Disrupt, Astro awards, Open Sauce, from the news feeds as of late. Wonder if all the influencers still going to these events are finding them dead & not bothering to post anything after the event. There's a definite trend of "come watch me talk" followed by silence. They used to be such a big deal.

The economy has definitely had a falling out with the tech industry, much like 2001. AI is the most hated buzzword since Convergence, probably because it's still as half assed as the personal assistant boom of 2015. If only we could get Grok to generate a cure for cancer with less effort than manually generating a cure for cancer . When the industry comes back, it roars back though.

 100 years ago today, the journey began.  There's no footage of the 1st rocket launch but a decent shot came on Aug 9 1938.  Goddard had a workhorse rocket for testing concepts.

 


 March is the new August.  Epic heat wave, not in terms of temperature but time of year.

 


The super high.  Not as large as past highs but the highest pressure ever recorded.  Condensation into clouds near Hawaii releases latent heat.

Prompt of the day: summarize [gootube URL]

The models know to extract the transcript of the video.  Lions wonder if someone secretly wrote special cases to do many common web operations that no-one ever bothered to write programs for or if the model really infers what it takes to summarize a video URL.  Lions miss the command line history & tab completion of the past, but natural language gets the job done.

    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...

 https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/as-the-average-retirement-age-continues-to-rise-will-passive-income-be-the-solution-162047139.html Cutting through another load of AI filler, Boston College & Grok say the retirement age is rising yet all the gootube commenters say the retirement age is falling.  Always bad news from organized media.  Always good news from the internet demographic.  Suspect the internet is still manely the geeks, technology professionals, high earners with the means to be online most hours.  So the stonk market melted up when the government shut down & crashed when the government reopened.  Only the government can make the stonk market crash. It wasn't government pension funds but government borrowing. --------------------------------------------------    https://growmane.blogspot.com/2025/02/s-bear-market-being-what-it-is-apple.html Then lions realized the natural spoken language interfaces ...

 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 ...
