I've never administrated a Lemmy instance, but I can't shake the feeling that the traffic and activity that would generate would be a massive blow to the infrastructure we have right now. I can't name anybody at the moment, but maybe we should start with someone a bit smaller?

AV1 is very efficient (around twice as good as h264), but a filesize that low was almost definitely because the default encoding settings were more conservative than the ones used to encode the blu-ray. The perceptual quality of that 1.5gb file will be noticeably lower than the 44gb one

I think it's more how uncommon the situation is, the complexity and odds of the rescue, and the 'ticking clock' effect that came from them only having 96 hours of oxygen. Stories need to be interesting to get mass media coverage (look at the Tham Luang cave rescue - none of them were billionares), and, as incredibly bleak as this sentence sounds, a boat capsizing with hundreds onboard just isn't interesting enough.

There was an account that made a ton of posts in different communities implying that they were planning a banana-themed bank robbery. (asking if the bananamobile could outrun a police car was their most popular post, for example)
The account's either been deleted or banned, unfortunately, so there's nothing I can link to.

you got a problem with banana plant guy?

we need to make a /c/wizardposting

LLMs, IIRC, are really bad at IQ-test type questions that require abstract reasoning, especially if they require multiple steps. So, something like

The box is yellow and red.
If the box is yellow, it is good.
If the box is blue, it is unhappy.
If the box is good and happy, the box is awesome.
If the box is red, it is happy.
Is the box awesome?

is what I'd use.

Eventually somebody's going to pull the lever, either accidentally or deliberately, so it's best to flip it while it kills the least amount of people.
I guess b/c of that it's sort of like the regular trolley problem.

1 or 5, they're both pretty sleek and have some texture around the edges. idrc about size

Not to say that that idea itself isn't saddening

Same thing you'd do if you looked up anarchychess on reddit and found two communities with similar names: join the bigger one. The smaller one will probably die off eventually

If you're taking a similar route to YouTube, you also need a ton of CPU/GPU power and/or specialized hardware. YouTube transcodes every video into 2 (3 for videos with >~2M views) different formats in 5 different resolutions. A community-run service could skip on some of that, but it'd come at the cost of lower quality, less support for older devices, or higher bandwidth usage.
