    and underestimate what they can build in a year.

    Consistency compounds quietly.

  5. A quotation from Carlyle

       The last quality, perseverance, I particularly respect: it is the very hinge of all virtues. — On looking over the world, the cause of nine parts in ten of the lamentable failures which occur in men’s undertakings & darken and degrade so much of their history, lies not in the want of talents or the will to use them, but in the vacillating and desultory mode of using them — in flying from object to object, in starting away at each little disgust, and thus applying the force which might conquer any one difficulty to a series of difficulties so large that no human force can conquer them.
       The smallest brook on earth, by continual running, has hollowed out for itself a considerable valley to flow in: the wildest tempest, by its occasional raging, over-turns a few cottages, uproots a few trees, and leaves after a short space no mark behind it. Commend me therefore to the Dutch virtue of perseverance! Without it all the rest are little better than fairy gold, which glitters in your purse, but when taken to the market proves to be — slate or cinders.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Letter (1822-03-15) to John Carlyle

  10. If it feels slow, you’re doing it right.

    Real growth isn’t loud.
    It’s steady. Quiet. Compounding.

    Keep showing up, even when it feels like nothing’s happening.

    That’s when everything is actually building.

  11. "Never trade your future reputation for a short-term paycheck" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    --
    Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
    --

    When you are working on your own, you are tempted to chase every single opportunity - but often,you should question if you should.

    Think about it - in the global freelance economy, the temptation is to be a mercenary. To chase the quick win, the easy gig, or the trendy buzzword that pays today but disappears tomorrow. But in my 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the Infinite Pivot is only possible if you plan to make sure your reputation is one of your most important assets.

    In my career, I’ve walked away from lucrative opportunities because they didn't align with what I thought I should be doing. I’ve turned down gigs that would have compromised my voice for a short-term gain - those that were from obvious hustlers promoting conferences or events that seemed rather shady or dubious. Why? Because when the world shifts—and it always does—your only real security is the integrity of your long-term perspective.

    A few weeks ago, I turned down an inquiry from a tobacco company. A few years back, I told a client I wouldn't take on the topic they wanted around cryptocurrency because I thought they were pretty unrealistic with what they wanted me to promise. (I turned out to be right.) I've passed on certain healthcare events where the topic bordered on fraud. Beyond that, I feel pretty confident to say that I can easily discern a hustler as soon as they start talking with me or send an email. It's an invaluable skill.

    Short-termism is a trap. It makes you a slave to the current market cycle, or being associated with things you shouldn't be associated with.

    Most profound pivots don't happen in a vacuum; they happen because you’ve spent 30 years building a foundation of trust. People don't just listen to me because of the data; they listen because I’ve been consistently right about the direction of the curve for three and a half decades. That kind of authority can't be bought; it can only be built, stone by stone.

    When you build for the long term, the short-term disruptions become minor weather events rather than catastrophic storms.

    Comment on this video (which us not shown on my Fedi instance, yay federation!)

    tube.kockatoo.org/w/63cGWTvhzq

    I cannot believe that that GPU is not usable for video work. That is what GPUs are made for!

    Poorly, there are a few caveats:
    - there are always more DEcoders supported than ENcoders. I guess not being able to play a video (it would play but be less efficiently decoded on the CPU) is worse than being bound to #h265 instead of #av1 for recording.
    - thus it makes sense that GPUs generally work flawlessly for gaming, as that is just displaying videos (or rendering content, which is kinda different, no idea why video codecs are more difficult than rendering methods)
    - for every video format out there exists an encoder. If you use software rendering (on the CPU), you can use ANYTHING. Like encode to modern (and free!) AV1 using #svtav1 on any old CPU.
    - if you want to encode videos on a GPU, you need drivers, but also a different encoder. On #NVIDIA you use #NVENC (NVidia ENCoder), for example nvenc_x265 for h265/HEVC videos. On #IntelArc (and afaik AMD GPUs), you use the #QSV (quick sync video) library which builds on top of #VAAPI, which is open source. So you can encode to AV1 using qsv_av1 for example.

    What encoders are supported depends on the GPU a lot. Intel Arc seems to have supported the free, efficient and future-proof AV1 codec the earliest, but also the older free codecs VP9 and VP8 (also used in webm), like in a GPU I recently bought used. My older NVIDIA GPU only supports H265, which is proprietary and often less efficient than AV1 (not always, video codecs are black magic).

    As OBS can use your GPU for video capture (encoding), the issue is purely in software support.

    I only have experience with #ffmpeg for re-encoding videos, but that is also in many video editing tools. Try if you can get them somehow.

    For NVIDIA I needed the latest proprietary drivers (#NixOS makes this extremely easy, can recommend) and ffmpeg, nvenc worked out of the box.

    For intel Arc I used the regular drivers included in the kernel, but after adding the QSV runtime to my "hardware.graphics.extraPackages" I needed to recompile the entire kernel. Using a #longterm kernel (currently 6.18) makes this more viable... longterm XD.

  17. A quotation from Hyman Rickover

    A preoccupation with the so-called bottom line of profit and loss statements, coupled with a lust for expansion, is creating an environment in which fewer businessmen honor traditional values; where responsibility is increasingly disassociated from the exercise of power; where skill in financial manipulation is valued more than actual knowledge and experience in the business; where attention and effort is directed mostly to short-term considerations, regardless of longer range consequences.

    Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral
    Speech (1982-01-28), Joint Economic Committee, U.S. Congress, 97th Congress, 2nd Session

  23. Understanding 4️⃣ Points on Stretch Mediated Hypertrophy 💪

    Stretch-mediated hypertrophy is one of the most underrated but powerful tools in muscle building.

    Most lifters focus only on lifting heavier or adding more reps, but real, long-term growth often comes from the quality of tension placed on a muscle, especially in its lengthened position.
