Fact: When exhaling, your heart rate and muscle tension is decreasing, so there is less shakyness if you press the shutter mid-exhale. This is a trick from the old days of wildlife photography, when image stabilization wasn't standard in high focal length lenses, ISO of sensors (or film) was low, so you had to hold kilograms steady as fuck for half a second.

When Firing a rifle exhaling first is what we were taught as Marines and I can tell you it works.

I second that as an archer. Exhale on the pull, aim, release when exhaled. I always see people inhale, hold breath until release on the range.
The difference to a long exposure photograph is that you have to hold steady for longer, but yes, the best moment is when fully exhaled (a bit of a compromise).

Very true. You exhale, take the slack out of the trigger, and gently squeeze (not pulling hard/fast). Makes all the difference.

Correct, never pull a trigger, all these things add up like wrapping your sling around your arm to the point it is difficult to push the butt into the shoulder and when in sitting position ramming elbows into the back of your knees. This is why a Marine is deadly at 500 yards with a M16a1 (my era 20 inch barrel). We would sit for hours in these positions while being kicked and would bobble back to the exact same sighting without having to adjust. It's not luck the that every Marine is a Marksman at minimum and we take great pride in the fact every marine is a rifleman from the cook to the pencil pusher.

Takes training and practice to hit that sweet spot but when you hit it its like riding a bike and it does make all the difference in the world.

I hadn't shot in 20+ years and went out Skeet shooting with some friends and only missed 2 out of 25 on average for the day (by the end of the days i was nailing 25/25) and took out one on the downward before it hit the trees (it got away from me on release and my trigger discipline kicked right in) and the guys who did it every week for years would not believe I hadn't shot in 20+ years. Like a bike, you never forget.

RIP Bonnie Tyler.
The news gave me a total eclipse of my heart for a minute  

Some of the best times and some of the best music! People used to live in a different way back then, any event was more experience by unimaginable amounts.  

Live in the moment, experience what is happening do not be glued to the phone like many are these days.

So the European Parliament is passing a law allowing private messages to be monitored.

Looks like at this rate, the only truly private message will be the one you never send.

Every year Bitcoin's trustless design makes a little more sense. 🙂

JJG - You are the primary focus of deep disgust. OOM, you much less so. I treat others the same as they treat me - the so-called 'Mirror Rule' or reciprocal treatment.

I came here almost a year ago as a friendly newbie with the desire to learn and make some friends. But totally unprovoked, I got jumped on and attacked unmercifully. You just don't easily overlook something like that, especially when one aggressor (JJG) just keeps on and on being a bully... If one is friendly and shows respect, I'll reciprocate in kind. But if they want to be a scumbag bully like JJG, they'll be treated as such. It's really pretty simple to understand, and I think as fair as anyone can expect...  

Aren't you the poor lil paper bitcoin "innocent" victim, who also strives to revise history.  

JJG - You just can't help yourself!  

Where is micgoossens, franky1 and Torque that despise JJG more than most?!

It's so apparent now that even the plebs can understand that it always made sense.

It makes me sad it will never get privacy but Monero fills that gap.



This is very interesting.

I'm reposting this also here for visibility:

It's terrible, and we do have a democratic problem, but "chat control" has NOT passed.  

I'm trying to be helpful with a recap: for now, voluntary scanning is allowed, but mandatory scanning is not. What passed today is the "interim regime," now extended to April 2028.  

That said, how it happened is absurd and I want to expand on this. On the last day before the summer break, absences were leveraged to push it through. For clarity: a majority actually voted to block it (314 to 276), but it passed anyway because the required threshold of 361 votes was not met. I find it absurd that such delicate legislation gets voted on in this context.  

In my view, it all boils down to the fact that the system, as it stands, cannot succeed. We need to be very honest in aknowledging this.

We don't directly elect the Commission, and the EU Parliament is not a true parliament in the traditional sense, as it has no full legislative initiative.  

The outcome is a hyper convoluted system where you need two PhDs and hours upon hours just to understand what is happening.  

It can't work. For me, the direct election of those who hold actual legislative power and the Commission, with a real mandate to some extent, is the only realistic way to make it work.

yeah never shot correctly until I hit upon surrendering the shot to the universe/force concept.

much like grabbing a fly out of the air it seems to work for me.

i meditate a bit telling the universe that the shot is theirs. I then surrender my finger and hand to the universe and it is pretty good better than 9 of 10 more like 19 of 20.

what does amaze me more is catching the fly without killing it.

I can feel its wings as it is trying to escape my grip.

It is as if I never tried to catch it at all.



listening to bonnie sing total eclipse of the heart as i type this.

liked her music.

put a kilowatt meter on it
wondering how much it costs in electricity to feed an AI running 24/7 trading

30-80w. I'm not pushing it very hard.

wow

my rig, 7900XTX (24 gb) and 5950X/128 gb and around 20+ TB of nvme averages maybe 400-600 watts on typical light questions unless i hammer the 7900 and then my system just sits at 800+ watts. continuous. in the living room. in the summer. haha. its quiet enough but the heat...

oh well central ac ftw. but man i cant even idle my system at that low.

Maybe you have enabled GPU support and Bob hasn't?
Speaking about Nvidia CUDA/tensorflow lib?
Guessing in the wild, btw.

Bobs GB10 is a blackwell chip (close to a 5070) mated to a soc so the cpu is basically the gpu (tensors) as well and its connected to LPDDR5X with a dedicated link thats very low power compared to like HBM (LP stands for low power).

Thats what makes it so efficient and the speed comes from the lpddr5 dedicated lanes mem (NVLink-C2C, equivalent to AMD infinity fabric I think).

Bitcoin ETFs saw a significant weekly net inflow of +6,301 BTC ($394.76M). This renewed institutional demand, supported by BlackRock, and the market's absorption of a large Strategy sale, suggests underlying strength.

Thanks, i see. I was just briefly looking at a page describing the Blackwell architecture, and i have to admit i haven't had much interest in advanced systems since i moved away from the IT business (which is almost exactly 15 years ago now). I'm not AI avoidant, but i don't have the time and energy to start exploring it.
I deleted the rest of my reply because i doubt it would make much sense, as i'm running quite low on energy at the time.

When someone else does it it is bad, but when we do it it is good. That is an accurate description of the EU. It is a terrible place, there is no freedom there of any kind there. I think some countries in the past were exploring for creating mandatory backdoors.
