- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 2 weeks ago:
Quality of the subtitles depend on the company the production company contracted out the subtitles to be created.
The company that puts together the subtitle file does so using the provided script with time stamps provided.
If multiple languages are needed the production company hires companies to do the translation and other companies might be hired to put together those subtile files for those specific languages they specialize in.
Some companies in some regions may have multiple departments that specialize in two or more of these feilds.
Delux entertainment for example does audio mixing and also has a subtitle department.
- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 2 weeks ago:
There can be many different companies involved. For example audio houses usually do the audio mixing. When you looks at the credits on Netflix shows you will see the credits for many different audio houses doing the mix for different regions and languages they specialize in.
Similarly subtitles are produced by many third party companies contracted to do the transitions of the provided scripts. Generally the scripts already have time stamps in them of when the audio happens as well.
Audio and visual production has many different companies and professionals coming together all around the world to put shows and movies together. Especially when these shows or movies are released in different regions.
An analogy is a contractor building a house. The contracting company hires out all aspects of the construction process to professionals that specialize in building the house. You have framers, drywallers, HVAC installers, plumber’s and so on.

- Comment on 8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs 4 weeks ago:
Awesome thanks for the confirmation
- Comment on 8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs 4 weeks ago:
This sucks for Canadians as well. I have a feeling 8bit ships all stock to the USA first then ships it by truck North and South from a distribution center. This means import fees are paid at the port of entry.
Not sure if demand is high enough for 8bit to ship directly to Canada or even have a warehouse in Canada TBH.
- Comment on Overclocked Nintendo Switch Modded With 8 GB RAM Is Capable Of Running PlayStation 3 Games via RPCS3 Emulator Surprisingly Well 4 weeks ago:
You just gave a detailed description of my life.
I have some duplicate consoles where they are modded different ways just for the fun of it. Some of these consoles I have never actually played a game on for more then 20min.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 1 month ago:
Yes, technically correct and I am not disputing your points.
But, we all know the cost of the tariff the local importer will need to pay the local government will be passed on to local consumers.
My distinction and argument is if the government said “we will increase taxes on all products at your local grocery store by 145℅” people would flip. But when the wording become we will tariff “other countries” people forget who actually pays that tariff.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 1 month ago:
Its insane that a tax is also charged on top of the already applied tariff.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 1 month ago:
Hopefully gamers get together and protest Trump out of office for artificially bumping up the costs of goods.
Tarrifs = Tax
A tax that working people pay, in the country that set the tarriff.

Thanks Trump for adding a 145% “tax” on my electronics. How am I supposed to afford anything now!?
Guess I may as well just go protest instead.

The Orvil did a episode on that where they found a two dimensional universe with life in it. The bad part, three dimensional life cannot exist in two dimensions with a digestive track, it gets split into two parts.
I can’t imagine a forth, fifth, or sixth dimension or how a three dimensional being could survive it.
- Comment on Interesting logic 1 month ago:
Well put, this was my training of thought as well.
As a analogy, our body is the Universe. Our fingernails (the moon) do not experience themselves or have any awareness of their own existence. Our mind (a living thing) knows and experiences our fingernails and is aware of its own existence.

Absolutely agreed, these conversations are generally very deep and definitely the Shit Post community is not the best fit for them.
That being said this one idea always resonated with me.
The idea that “we are drops of water joining to create the ocean”, suggesting that individuals are interconnected and form a larger whole, like drops of water merging to create a vast ocean.
Or how’s Ajaan, the Buddhist monk in season 2 of White Lotus phrases it.
“When you were born, you were like a single drop of water separated from the one giant consciousness. You are born, then you die to descend back into the water and become one with the ocean again. No more separated, no more suffering.”

I thought this was beautiful put.

I would probably ask, what is God if not the Universe?
I suppose the next though would be is God apart of the Universe, or do they reside outside of the Universe?
If God were apart of the Universe, did they create themselves and the Universe, or did God themselves come into being at the Universe’s creation? Is God the Universe its self?
That saying that God is all within us, at least to me seems to imply that God is the Universe, and since humans are “created of the stars” we have God within us.
Or alternatively if God resides outside the Universe? Would that imply there is more beyond the Universe or do we simply reside in a “simulation” of sorts.

If humans are born of the universe, and humans are sentient. Is the universe not its self sentient.
The universe created life to experience its self. Or was the universe in its self already alive?

What about the American people constantly complaining about aliens illegally entering their country? Explain this!
- Comment on Interesting logic 1 month ago:
Also given the scale of time of the universe. We as humans have only existed for a small amout of time on the vast scale of things.
Countless alien civilizations may have existed and destroyed themselves, and may others may have not come into existence yet.
