  • That’s an issue you can run into with many classics. Either they did something so well it’s become a trope, or the artistry in it has been refined so much that the original feels like a poor imitation.

    A great example in film is Citizen Cane. It used a lot of ground breaking approaches for cinematography and sound design, but those things aren’t ground breaking anymore, so watching it now doesn’t have the same “excitement”. A more modern example might be Toy Story; the animation doesn’t look too impressive by modern standards, but was ground breaking at the time.





  • Yeah, if I’m making something “masked/obscured” I should export it so that it’s in a raw format. That way there is no Metadata or information that could be leaked by accident.

    Think of the Trump Epstein files, in those they kept them as pdfs so you could just unhighlight the redacted sections. If they had export it as a jpeg/png you wouldn’t be able to extract any information.

    There are ways to remove the content from a pdf, but as we’ve seen, that leaves rooms for errors.






  • I wasn’t saying it couldn’t be done, I was saying drones as vehicles doesn’t seem viable (economically or for safety reasons).

    Also, when you put in bigger batteries you increase the weight, thus increasing the amount of power you need to fly the drone. If these ventures say their drones get 20-30 minutes of flight I would assume that’s got to be around the current sweet spot.

    You’re idea for making it more bike-like might be able to help with flight time (if drag doesn’t become a larger problem), but I don’t think commercially anyone is going to want to fly unprotected from wind and the elements.
