Body rang the register after 9x200.  Got it through another 4 with longer breaks but only 4.  The heat combined with the tendon did it.  Pleasantly surprised by a roughly 8 minute mile in the uphill but the heat definitely reduced the output.  The battery was truly puffed.

Noted how clean the altitude graph was.  Normally get a choppy area under the cage.

 There it is. Withdrawal & declarations of victory on both sides secured, as predicted.  It was really the only possible outcome, after achieving nothing but burning a few billion doll hairs, losing hundreds of lives, & destroying all the F-14's.  Hopefully the powers that be got a good deal on their oil shares.  Good luck to the ancestors of Greenspun still fighting to survive in the holyland & the Iranian athletes getting executed by the Ayatollah.

 The drum beats get louder for some kind of remote control for Cinelerra playback.  Extending the previous laptop keyboard port was 1 idea.  Power management would be the problem.  A simple IR dongle could enumerate as a keyboard & pick up signals from some junk remote.  It just needs to send numpad keys & possibly a label key.  Cinelerra would always be running in full screen.  There wouldn't be a label indication.  

Lions have manually cut out intros, outros, sponsors, paytreon credits, skits, & movie quotes for years.  It's probably faster to 4x through some of it.  Sometimes it needs to go between 1.5x & 2x based on the accents.  

 Also noted the audio time stretcher is slower than the fast playback mode.  Actually, this render only took 4 minutes but contained 4 minutes of silence.


 It does FFT + resample, but really doesn't sound as good as basic windowing.  The debate has raged over whether to convert it to basic windowing.  The playback stretcher is a modular class.

 Encountered the few alphaserver stills while scrounging around for website files that no-one will ever read.  The video from 2019 wasn't the best reuse of the existing footage.  It should have been upscaled & gamma adjusted.

  Sometimes ponder somehow obtaining a Dec Alphaserver on fleebay or something, but realistically it was vastly slower than a modern raspberry pi.  It's a reminder of how much a raspberry pi weighed in 2000.  Only the memory was competitive with modern standards, at 8GB.  It would be just a museum piece to show the technology of the day punching above its weight.  

That was speed through brute force.  Modern AI methods are kind of the opposite, chewing up massive brute force to print hello world.

 It's 1 piece of jewelry among an HP 9000, SGI, commodore 64 that lions wouldn't have room to store.  There was a chance of obtaining a free, fully functioning O2 in the early 2000's but it just wasn't that impressive anymore.  It was damn slow compared to lion memory.

    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 ...
