just thinking about video stuff after seeing a tom scott video and thinking about displays

also wondering why we don't use logarithmic brightness encoding but i guess linear makes the pixel drivers simpler and there's not really a whole lot of room for complex pixel drivers

of course you also have to contend with the response time of the panel itself, which is significant in some LCDs but iwrc not as much in OLEDs

just pondering how one might design a display with the lowest possible response time

should be possible to do sub-millisecond, maybe even just a few hundred microseconds on a good OLED or μLED (when those actually exist) screen

so everyone who cares about this kind of thing knows that LCD and OLED screens have a higher response time than CRTs

But is that because of the time taken to scale the image (since incoming video has to be converted from its original resolution to fill the screen and most TVs and monitors support a whole slew of different input resolutions), or is it more in the actual converting and decoding of the signal (since you can't just feed in NTSC/PAL/SECAM video to a flatscreen and expect it to work)

if you're wondering if this is about you: yes

apparently, all you need to do to summon cuties is say 'ottr'

also we forget them a lot

we've kind of reached a level of queerness where pronouns occupy the same sort of mental space as names

there are common ones that a lot of people share, and unique ones that you rarely see, and some that are specific to certain cultures

is miegakure still going to happen sometime?

kinda want to stream something on a real console just to test out this capture device we got last month and haven't used yet

but what would people be interested in seeing?

oh okay we forgot to take our noon medicine, that's probably why

apparently it's feel bad o'clock right now

while trying to make sure we met the requirements for hosting a server, we discovered that our apartment gets 95 Mbps symmetric internet o.o.o

we'd known it was good, but not that good

does anyone know much about running a minecraft server (small and for friends) when you have:
- no personal domain
- no money
- no access to the router to do port forwarding

allow me to just say:

enbies are hot

why is mad science not as differentiated as regular science? you always hear about people being mad scientists, but they're never mad astronomers or mad physicists or anything, just general "mad scientists"

the harry potter and the chamber of secrets gameboy color game had no business having such a great soundtrack, but nonetheless, it is possibly one of the best soundtracks on the gb/gbc
