What took Matt’s code over an entire month to run, viewers optimized so damn hard that the majority of the runtime of the code is just loading the words, so they started optimizing the code to run while the word list was loading. Takes like 4 milliseconds to load the word list, and 2 milliseconds to run the program

People joke about the Parker Square, but he’s unironically the most inspiring public figure imo. The king of Doing The Damn Thing

I don’t know anything about Linux but I do love touching cats

A semicolon is used when you’re separating sentences that are themselves part of a list. Typically you would use commas to separate list items, but when the list items are complete sentences with commas in them, you use a semicolon to separate them. A colon is used when you have to poop

I long for the days when he was just a voice actor on Arthur

I’m furthering the stereotype by not being part of the group being stereotyped?

Both groups are stereotyped as that, and neither group is actually like that

I don’t use arch, and I’m not vegan, I’m just tired of played out innaccurate “jokes”

“Haha vegans never stop talking about themselves!”

Hey can you stop making fun of us?

“Haha look at this, yet another vegan who can’t shut up!”

Yep, I don’t eat meat and I don’t recall the last time I actually told someone that unprompted in real life. More likely it’s one of my friends or family that says it for me, like I can’t eat around the bacon that the chef accidentally put on my plate

Or OP is one of the many people who still doesn’t know who Steven Crowder is

In that there’s a meme about them constantly talking about it, and any attempt to call the meme wrong is just used as further evidence in favor of it?

Extrapolating from this, a 3840x2160 image must be in the hundreds of megabytes!

I’ve literally never used the word “literally” unironically in my life

The issue isn’t just reuse of passwords. Only about 14,000 accounts were breached because of bad passwords. The problem is that those 14k accounts allowed bad actors to access the personal information of nearly 7 million people. It’s less “you shouldn’t have reused your password,” it’s more “your neighbor’s cousin’s sister-in-law’s nephew shouldn’t have reused his password”

Jesus, he knows me, and he knows I’m right

If we’re talking about a 24 hour video, then we definitely can’t find every instance of smoke. If there isn’t any smoke exactly 12 hours into the video, then it throws away the entire first 12 hours. Any evidence that could have been found in those 12 hours is gone. A binary search throws away half of the information at a time. It super can’t locate multiple instances of something happening.

I’ve been wrong in arguments before, it feels awful. The best things to do are either address the misunderstanding in the original comment, or not engage with anyone else who feels like arguing more. One thing I miss from Reddit was being able to toggle notifications on a per-comment basis.

The time of the event doesn’t necessarily coincide with any of the times that you’re checking. That’s the whole point of looking for visual cues. Again, if the event happens 34 minutes into the video, and it leaves AI detectable visual cues for 10 minutes, the AI will never find it using binary search. It will skip to 30 minutes, see nothing, skip to 45 minutes, see nothing, skip to 52:30, see nothing, skip to 56:15, see nothing, and fail at some point when it can’t divide the video further. Binary search would fail in this scenario. It’s not just useless, it’s an abject failure, and the AI was a waste of processing power when you could have scrubbed forward five minutes at a time instead. That would have found the visual cue, but would not be a binary search.

Having an AI search for shapes an opaqueness is still totally useless for a binary search if those semi-opaque shapes happen for 10 minutes 34 minutes into an hour long video

Again, you’d just feed the whole video to an AI, you wouldn’t have it do a binary search

Actually, an AI could determine the difference between those, based on shape, location, and opacity, etc.

Lmao now I know you’re fucking with me

Yeah lemme spend three weeks training this AI on the difference between gunsmoke, cigarette smoke, vapes, and fog in this specific alley. Oh, y’all already found the killer because someone just watched the video? Well my point stands, the AI could do it faster

Once it’s trained

In another week

Oh shit, it thought that guy’s cell phone was a gun. See you in another month!

less long by AI (faster to detect changes than humans).

Many things change things. A bit of smoke in the air might have been from a gunshot that happened 10 minutes ago, or it might have been from a cigarette 15 minutes ago. Binary search relies on changes that indicate a specific thing has happened–a broken window, a bike no longer there, blood stains on the street. Anything undetectable by humans would still be useless to AIs. A bit a smoke? Could have been a gunshot 3 minutes ago, could have been a cigarette, could be fog, could be a vape. Even the things that AIs are truly useful for, like interpreting video compression artifacts, wouldn’t help, because any number of things can cause compression artifacts. How could it tell what pixels are slightly off color because of a gunshot 3 minutes ago, and what pixels are slightly off color because someone walked past the camera?

At that point, just feed the entire video to the AI and have it tell you when it sees guns or puffs of smoke or hears screams. Binary search is useless when you can just have a machine watch the entire video in one sitting over the course of five seconds and tell you when the interesting thing happens.
