I'm looking for a good video summarizer! Sometimes a really interesting video pops up in my feed that I don't have time to watch but I want to skim a text version of it.

The ones I've tried have had a lot of issues. I just tried VideoGist on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tajhx6oTXnY and it printed an overall summary and the summaries of three "chapters" that it seems to have created (of lengths 18 seconds, 53 seconds, and 1:36), and now it seems to be hanging. It's an over 18 minute video. I don't know how long that's supposed to take, but I think being able to do the process relatively quickly is key, plus giving good feedback about the process (like a progress bar), and not being buggy/glitchy.

I think so. And also potential issues with all the sums. :) (see: "compensated summation") god I love this shit. :)

Equatorial sunsets are over pretty quick and there's a very short window in which the light path from the sun passes through a lot more of the atmosphere.

The closer to the poles you move the longer the sunsets and sunrises - above a certain latitude you'll find seasons with days that have no night and others that are all night with no day - for long periods the sun is either low on the horizon or just below it.

This opens the viewer up to more reflection and refraction events where dust in suspension, clouds, create wavelength effects on the light spectrum and other illusions.
That's 18.6 mph, slower than the speed limit around US schools. Is the expectation people will go 20 or 25 mph (32 to 40 km/h) in reality?

This is completely unrelated to the lawsuit which was about activity that occured decades ago.

No, the expectation is that the government can put up speed cameras everywhere and make a shit ton of money.
If people didn’t live in such places then the housing crisis would be much worse. Infact where I live I think main roads/trains are a requirement to get the zoning to build the apartments!

I wonder if sound proofing (the expensive high density kind) might help? Depends if you are renting or not. It might cost a few $10k but could be worth it for QOL.
You're correct in all of that in regards to mechanical relays, but none of this matters for solid state devices. I'm not aware of any actual mechanical relays in Tesla's. They do have contactors for the HVDC connections, but that's about as close as you get to relays. Hell, they don't even have fuses; they use self reset-able 'soft' fuses.

You have to worry about shutting down current quickly (i.e., inductor flyback), but that's a pretty trivial problem to solve.

That the thing, apartments in US/Canada are in 'trashier' pockets of the city.
Single family homes are well located mostly and don't have such problems.
Reason is simply - apartments were put there they are well after city was fully developed.
Speaking from my experience in Toronto/Montreal areas.
Thus I disagree about traffic noise, it's a necessary evil.
Real evil is vast zones of single family areas in the city limits, especially close to metro.
Presumably, Toner et al agreed to this compromise because they believed it was a meaningful improvement compared to a board composed solely of Sam and friends.

I've been playing piano my whole life. Recently I bought some synths and it's a whole different world. Piano skill comes in handy sometimes, but other times its' mostly irrelevant. And sound design of course is a completely different skill, which on many synths you can do live as you play.

I've seen people on youtube making great music on a stack of modular gear, without a keyboard in sight, and I can't look down on them because at the rate I'm going it'll be years before I can do what they do.
It is all about the reference point. The article uses Overwatch as an example.

- If you take the world population, 95%-ile means being able to use a keyboard and mouse and maybe have a vague idea of what a FPS is.

- From the previous population, having played the game or one of a similar genre even once puts you in the 95%-ile

- From the previous population, actually owning the game puts you in the 95%-ile

- From the previous population, playing enough to have a meaningful ranking puts you in the 95%-ile

- From the previous population, being good enough to compete in an established team puts you in the 95%-ile

- From the previous population, being good enough to earn some money puts you in the 95%-ile

- From the previous population, being good enough to make a living puts you in the 95%-ile

- From the previous population, being good enough to be famous puts you in the 95%-ile

- From the previous population, being in the 95%-ile means you are the world champion

So which reference point are you using when you are saying you are 95%-ile?

I actually don't think we should build it either. The best case scenario is it provides a way for powerful people to accelerate the already quite successful project of making feudalism 2.

But that doesn't mean I'm stressed about what you're stressed about. We killed god once before we can do it again if we need to. The real danger is in us using AI to do more of what it already does now, not that it will decide to do some new thing.

> The concern about wireless inefficiency is very well-placed, however, in the case of electric cars.

I don't think so. For one, with EVs you are paying pretty directly for the charge and nearly 50% extra for the hassle of not plugging in the cable seems excessive. For a charging station it would probably be more profitable to hire someone to plug your car in instead of going wireless, even disregarding the setup cost.

But, more importantly, fast wireless charging generates heat. This is fine for the miniscule amount of energy in phones, but would probably pose a serious problem with the wattage involved in changing EVs. We're currently at the point of having charging cables with integrated cooling, the inefficiency of wireless would likely either cook the car or limit the speed too much to be viable ("charge your car as conveniently as your phone, in a meager three days!").
Why the cynical take?

Do you really think that in a country with extensive rail and a bicycle culture as a national identity that the reason for reduced speed limits is a cash grab?

Is it so alien to you to consider that perhaps the country is implementing these kinds of laws to reduce the harmful effects of automobiles with the ultimate end game being the extinction of car culture?
The expectation is that people will go <=30km/h, just like in all the other 30km/hr zones around Europe.
> One can say "well, you shouldn't live there" but after I experienced it I realised how much housing is built right by main roads

The road is a primary road because the housing is there. If the road went through the middle of nowhere, it wouldn't be a main road.
Orcs are elves who were corrupted and mutilated by Morgoth, so hypothetically elves and orcs might have more shared biology. Hobbits are probably an offshoot or variant of men. Elves, dwarves and men all had separate "awakenings" so they don't have any shared ancestry at all. However, earlier races of men (and especially Numenoreans) were more similar to elves, being larger, wiser and having longer lifespans.
The loud motorcycle crowd deserve death. I am a pacifist and believe strongly that love and kindness is the natural state of man, but people unwinding their modified bikes down residential streets are just malicious monsters who torture entire neighborhoods for their perverse pleasure. I don’t buy their “to be noticed by cars on the highway” malarkey, since they wind up their motors to earth shattering levels on city roads at every opportunity, rattling windows and setting off car alarms, clearly to gain the notice of everyone sleeping rather than for their own safety.
Incidentally, Tolkien portrayed many half-elves during their childhood. Elwing, Elured, and Elurin were young children when the sons of Fëanor destroyed Doriath. Eärendil fled the destruction of Gondolin as a young child. And Elrond and Elros were young children when the remaining sons of Fëanor destroyed the Havens of Sirion. Bad luck runs in the family, or something.

I have studied the properties of ketchup extensively at burger joints all over, and in my expert opinion Wikipedia has it correct here.

This is why ketchup barely flows when you invert the bottle, until you start banging on it and it gets moving and it all comes out at once (thinned by the shear stress of your banging and gravity)
Good point and makes sense.
No.

For safety, hybrids and electric vehicles physically disconnect the high-voltage battery from everything when it's off with massive relays. So you can end up in the somewhat stupid situation where your high-voltage battery is fully charged, but you can't do anything because the tiny 12v motorcycle battery is flat.

Starting simply requires enough 12v current to close a relay, the amps going though the "jumper pins" are tiny. And once the relay is closed, the high-voltage battery can keep the relay closed and charge the 12v battery via the dc-dc converter.

The amount of current to "jump" a hybrid or electric car is so small that they really should just install a USB-C cable, so you could just use your phone to jump start it.
> Reason is simply - apartments were put there they are well after city was fully developed.

I'm confused by this statement. In any older city in the US, like in any city in Europe, the heart of the city is apartment buildings. Those would have been the main part of the city by the time it was big enough to be called a "city." Single family homes were generally in later areas -- suburbs, or suburbs that got swallowed up by the city -- or in the small exclusive pockets of extremely wealthy areas.
are bikes limited to 30 km/h also?
What do you make of the switch to 30kmph with respect to “necessary evil”? It seems like Amsterdam has decided it isn’t necessary at all, for the reasons stated in the article
That’s crazy slow! I can’t even begin to think of how long it would take to get anywhere.

By comparison, “The Texas Transportation Commission is allowed to bump up the speed limit in certain sections to 75, 80 and 85 mph, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. The speed limit can be raised if the highway is deemed safe and reasonable..”

Also.. you can typically avoid a ticket by arguing you were still driving at “reasonable and prudent” speeds as long as you don’t exceed the posted limit by more than 24 miles per hour.

Or just donate to your local police department..
18 miles per hour? My average pace on a bicycle is 20 mph. This is hysterical.

My hunch is that part of the board's motivation was a feeling that they should have unusually high standards for the CEO of OpenAI.

Or, you realize the past cannot be changed. And the customers who only want to rehash the past, rather than saying “where do we go from here”, are pathological.

If I run a business and someone communicates to me that they are pathological and cannot be satisfied unless I invent a Time Machine, I am not going to be particularly concerned about their outcomes. They’re just not worth it - fire your shitty customers, for the sake of your business and employees.

> for desktop maps, AFAIK Google is still tops (on my phone I use Apple Maps and it's...fine)

I use Apple Maps on desktop as well. In my area (Denver) they seem to have about the same number of unique issues, but

1. Mobile Google Maps is so, so terrible in terms of screen-space utilization, look and feel, and also its behavior doing turn-by-turn. I've never been anywhere close to as angry at my iPhone then when Google Maps confused me into a parking lot and the low-quality synthetic voice got nearly a minute behind in micromanaging my way out

2. Desktop Google Maps is a lot less usable if you refuse to give the entirety of Google.com precise location access. The move from maps.google.com -> google.com/maps marked the last time I asked it for directions.
People in Amsterdam use km/h not mph.
From my experience in france, on 30km/h roads, people would drive anywhere between 30-40km/h, while on 50km/h roads, people would drive between 50 and 55km/h.
In the US it wouldn't make sense. Spending 2 hours to go to the grocery store and back just on the travelling part would be a big commitment whenever you needed to go.

So if I'm reading this correctly, and Atsuo Lida is correct, then lightning zapping a water source which is teaming with life can trigger genetic recombination[0], and by extension, possibly catalyse evolution (at least sometimes)?

Sometimes you need to massage the prompt a bit to avoid it getting distracted. e.g., it took me a few tries to get a family having dinner inside a home aquarium.

I live on a popular local road, but cars/trucks are nothing in comparison to motorcycles. It’s especially bad when there are large groups - not sure what the physics behind this, but it seems to resonate even worse and shake the entire house. There’s no reason it needs to be this loud and the usual safety argument doesn’t resonate with me… pun intended…
Maybe more people will start riding bikes.
> Besides all that, wired charging is not nearly as efficient as you think. The charge circuitry in your phone is optimistically 80-90%. The wall adapter can be anywhere from 50 to 90%, and scales pretty closely to how much you paid for it. Efficiency also goes down with faster charge rates.

The costs of wireless are on top of all of the costs of wired. You're not getting away from battery management just because you're using the air as a very inefficient cable.

Does anyone have any resource on which features are broken across implementations? How to stay sane with SVG?

I recently made the mistake of making a complex conference poster using SVG. It now renders different in every browser and program

https://kxygk.github.io/imergination/

In making the graphic I noticed:

- You can include/link SVGs to embed, but if they in turn include other SVGs then it will not work (ex: the poster -> diagrams -> several plots/maps). So dynamic SVGs that are updated when subimages change are impossible

- Webbrowsers randomly and will refuse to display embedded/linked image b/c of "security"

- Ex: in the above link, if you try to open the SVG in a separate tab it won't display correctly: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kxygk/imergination/ag...

- It was basically impossible to turn a complex SVG into a PDF without inconsistencies and/or running out of RAM

- Every SVG-to-PDF converter gives different results

- Many implementations (ex: Inkscape) will randomly treat included SVGs are a raster graphic. I never pinpointed when this would occur (and even then, when rendering to PNG Inkscape doesn't propagate the DPI setting to subimages)
