A little about me...
Kind of through with VideoSift. It's a great concept, but it's so one-sided and close-minded of a community. It's OK to be close-minded if you want, just don't be hypocritical about it. Too many people claim others are close-minded but don't present any real and valid arguments in defense of their own beliefs. If you want to argue, use a cogent argument instead of the fallacious crap that litters the rest of the net. Circle jerk away without me.

Hi Aemaeth. I saw your comment in the Stalker Clear Sky Zero Punctuation thing and I thought maybe you'd be interested in sifting this video of mine. It was made with Stalker CS and it features the music of Ween.

And if not, that's cool too. Later.

If it's from an Nvidia conference then I guess I am a bit of an ass because it's somewhat computer related and I suppose actually supposed to demonstrate the power of GPUs. I was just being snarky though, not trying to debate soundly.

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
I get the similarity, I just think the presentation sucks. Trust me: I remember when the first 3d accelerators hit the market, I know the difference between GPU and CPU rendering. The reason I say it seems like propaganda is because first of all, you are the first person to use the term rendering. The video title or captions in the video doesn't say GPU Vs. CPU video rendering, it just says, "GPU vs. CPU". Second, realize this is from NVision: nVidia's annual conference. Third, because of the way it is presented it makes it seem like they are trying to say that graphics processors are just plain faster than central processors.

budzos says...

Sure. It's dumb because of two things. First, a demonstration that GPU rendering is faster than CPU rendering is not "propaganda". It's a fact that GPU rendering is much faster. Do you also say that videos are "banned" when they are pulled from the air by the company who created them?

Second, the poster is making a joke. The presentation is not related to computers at all. If you know what "GPU rendering" means, which you must if you think this is "propaganda", I don't see how you can miss that painting with one gun is like rendering with the CPU, and painting with a 1000 nozzles at once is like rendering with the GPU. See now I feel dumb just for explaining it.

I'd love to hear the explanation for this comment.

In reply to this comment by budzos:
Cool project, but seems like propaganda to me. Why is that a GPU vs. a CPU?

Please be serious. It'd be awesome if you were that dumb.

It is, if you check just near the middle of yours it's the same thumbnail they have, all it takes is for a vid to be a sec or two longer or shorter for it to have a different thumbnail.

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
You sure it's the same vid? It seem similar, just strange to have such a different thumbnail.

*dupe of http://www.videosift.com/video/What-if-there-were-no-stop-signs , but their embed is gone, I'd say give this embed to them and discard this...
