I thought most drives were still TLC and QLC is still pretty new, right?

But yes, QLC has more like 1000 write cycles, but either way, like 5-10%ish of TLC/QLC drives are SLC cache, meaning you’d get fast write speeds and 100,000 cycles on that part of the drive, but yes they wouldnt last as long as a pure SLC. From what I understand though, a lot of these drives will copy under used files from the SLC cache to the QLC cache since read speeds are basically the same, in order to optimize the percentage of actively used files in the SLC cache.

So to answer your last question, yes. Video editing is probably one of the most demanding things you can do with a drive, and will shorten the lifespan of the device. But this is true for literally any kind of drive, and any operation you do with a drive. Hard drives may not have a write cycle limitation like ssds, but they have moving parts that wear with use. So theres not really anything you can do to avoid the issue. To video edit period, you’re going to put wear on your drive.

Also to give some context, average SSDs have about 100,000 write cycles per cell, before write failure can have a chance of happening. Since it distributes it out across the cells, you could write 1GB to a 1TB SSD about 100 million times. This isn’t a small number really, it’ll take a while to do that. I’ve been editing here and there on my ssd for 5+ years on top of full time video game development and it still works fine, with no signs of stopping. I read some guy online who edited video nearly every day for three years, and the ssd software still said he had about 10% of the ssd life remaining before write failures. So depending in your work flow your drive could last 4 to 10+ years.

The only real differences here are cost and speed. Do you want to wait around for a slow hdd while you’re editing, or do you want to edit quickly and enjoy the process? I personally would always edit on an SSD because you’re not solving the problem by using something else. Like yea, maybe a hard drive would last twice as long as an ssd, but it’s also twice as slow, so you’re just stretching those, say, 5 years of man-hours into 10. You’re not actually getting more work done on that drive.

No… No it doesn’t.

Ayyy, they got commissioned by the wonder bread guy! Congrats

Probably meant “pull” and he’s laughing mid sentence about how little 65lbs is

Ah fuck, that makes more sense. I think the missing link is that when playing fighting games they would hear the click of the other person’s controller inputs which would be tied to “positive behavior” like pressing the right button in response.

Wow thanks, that really clears it up.

Fgc: fighting game community. Games like Street Fighter, Tekken, etc.

Neutral: the point in the game where neither player has an advantage, like in the beginning where the players are just moving back and forth trying to get the first hit in, and thereby gain advantage.

Puppy girls: y’know, girls who wear puppy ears and collars or whatever.

Clicker training: a form of dog training that involves reinforcing good behavior with a little device that makes a click noise, which can help the dog more precisely understand what action was correct than rewarding with food after.

So I think what he’s saying is that when you train a puppy girl with clicker training, you’re basically training them to quickly react to click sounds, like how players might respond to the sound of their opponents controller as a way of predicting their moves. So they’d be very good at the neutral game, since they’d be able to get the first hit in or effectively block/counter the opponents first hit. The guy responding is suggesting that if he brought tennis balls he could throw them in the middle of the match and distract the puppy girl - since dogs chase tennis balls - thereby giving him the upper hand. I hope this helps lol

Edit: the part about clicker training

They splice together multiple mobile screenshots. There might be an app that lets you press a button, scroll, then press stop, to do the same thing.

But it’s definitely designed for mobile. This reads really easily on my phone.

Back on Reddit some dude and his roomates made a subreddit called r/195 (their dorm number). It only had one rule, when you visit, you have to post a meme. Eventually the public found the subreddit and started posting their own memes. It got huge and out of hand and some awful stuff started getting posted so they finally deleted the subreddit. That disappointed a bunch of people so a sequel was made, r/196. This community is a recreation of that second subreddit.

Being defederated just means you can’t see new posts on beehaw communities and they can’t see your communities at all. If your instance and beehaw are both federated with a third instance, like the one this community is on, then you’ll still be able to see comments by beehaw users on that instance.

The original tweet’s account has been suspended, so I can’t say for sure. But here’s the link to Tate’s response.
