decae

Attenborough narrated documentaries are filled with death and carnage, shot by the most patient cinematographers in the world. What a nonsense take.

In Tokyo when I search for convenience stores, a lot of the time Google Maps will also show ATMs, assuming that's the reason I want to go to a convenience store. Inversely, if I search for a bank branch, it'll show convenience stores. The fuzzy search results can be very frustrating sometimes.

Shards of glass falling from ten stories up would be one of the main things to try to avoid.

This may be the funniest comment I've ever read, considering the circumstances.

That sounds like a lot of fun to play around with, thank you!

How is this possible? What sort of camera can do this?

Totally agree.

bring it back within the realm of human-generated PR text? Or it's too perfect? I find the perfect number of syllables to be off putting sometimes, it can feel like the uncanny valley of text.

Not only does the sun not rotate around us, the rest of the galaxy doesn't even care to think that we exist. An interesting evolution in thought nonetheless.

I wouldn't say it's hatred, they're just extremely risk adverse - every situation needs to be entered with caution. It seems to be common across a wide range of Japanese companies.

Recently, there is a certain amount of Disneyesque revenue maximization that seems to be going on though, and keeping control of legacy titles is a part of that for sure.

It feels to me like it's getting democratized in the same sense as to what happened to professional photography in the early 2000s with the introduction of digital cameras and high quality color inkjet printers. The barrier to entry becomes so much lower.

Instead of dealing with the costs associated with using, developing and printing from film, as well as the skills associated with knowing what a photo would look like before it was developed, digital cameras allowed new photographers to enter the industry relatively cheaply and shoot off a few thousand photos at a wedding at a relatively negligible cost. Those photographers rapidly developed their skills, and left studios with massive million dollar Kodak digital chemical printers in the dust. I know because I was working at one.

If you remember, this was in the time where the studio owned your negatives ostensibly forever, and you had to pay for reprints or enlargements. What were amateur photographers could enter this high-margin market, produce images of an acceptable quality, charge far less and provide far more.

I'm not able to say whether this will happen to software development, but the democratization of professional photography absolutely shook the somewhat complacent industry to its core.

In that case it had nothing to do with contempt for creative people, it was the opposite, anyone who wanted to be creative now could be.

In this context, the final line would be:

Then when my children needed a teacher, and I became sick, or old, there was no one left to support me.

Cheers! I became a bit obsessed with timelapses and this technique during the pandemic. It was shot in Ichikawa, Chiba, close to the station.

And yes, definitely, it's quite stark. I guess a combination of being shot in summer and Tokyo's location relatively close to the equator. I'm originally from southern Australia and the dusk there is far longer.
