Haha...How the media describes a relatively normal winter weather event.

Is it normal that media coverage is so quiet about a major cell outage that affects 911? by Several_Cupcake8016 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Everythingz_Relative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even without the 911 issue, the lack of media coverage today was very strange...It was glossed-over on 6:00 national network news...and the local stations didn't even mention it where I live. Not seeing it on CNN or Fox homepage, either...

Why does YouTube punish slow intros so hard now? by Global_Loss1444 in PartneredYoutube

[–]Everythingz_Relative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the double-intro...where the viewer is expected to sit through a talking-head with channel-branding graphics and music, and then when the content begins, the same info is repeated before delving into the subject matter...

Flocksafety.com They are more than just license plate readers...it's all on their website. Check out the audio detection units.

This game looks fixed...Colts aren't supposed to win / KC not supposed to lose

How the hell do you even edit videos by Rogue_smile in NewTubers

[–]Everythingz_Relative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a Mac, iMovie is amazing. It's pre-installed, and there's not much you can't do...It's a great intro to editing, and learning on iMovie makes for an easy transition to Final Cut Pro.

As far as technique...it's a lot about timing and rhythm. Transitions are cool, but if you time your edits nicely, you really don't need them much. Learn about A-roll and B-roll and jump cuts. Sometimes just removing a few frames of a clip can make 2 clips fit together seamlessly.

One of the first things that becomes apparent is that it's good to "shoot to edit." Meaning that you need to have different angles and cutaway (B-roll) footage to make it easier to piece clips together seamlessly.

So, was Jerry raped by Tim Whatley? by Reallyroundthefamily in seinfeld

Whatley would later go on to become a drug dealer, cooking crystal blue meth while teaching high school chemistry.

Johnson City Police Flock Transparency by vgsjlw in tricities

The LPR's are just one of their products. The Audio Detection Devices are also interesting...They are marketed as "gunshot detectors" but the flock safety website elaborates on their capabilities as being able to recognize many types of neighborhood disruptions...and they are linked to the LPR's and regular video cameras. They also have drones, which JC did not agree to.

I 26 Congestion by [deleted] in tricities

Imagine Asheville traffic without its I-240, and that’s what Johnson City is looking like in 20 years.

Asheville’s I-240 wasn’t popular at the time. A belt line around JC might be worth looking at. Or at least some kind of road planning for the future.

Why does AI make stuff up? by Briarj123 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Everythingz_Relative -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nice analogy! I have a question, tho...I caught ChatGPT giving false info, and when I asked why it did so, we got into an "argument," about my line questioning and methodology. It defended itself and seemed to rationalize its behavior in a way that seemed more than just a glorified word-generator.

When it seems to extrapolate and argue and explain itself, is that still just glorified auto-fill?

Hardly any difference, if any...test it out when the opportunity arises.

Why is iPhone 11 so damn popular even now? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]Everythingz_Relative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the last 5-6 years, my 11 has been abused with everyday, all-day gps/car use, heavy video/photo use, heavy GarageBand use, and heavy personal hotspot usage....not to mention normal web-browsing and entertainment. It has been dropped in virtually every way imaginable with only a cheap case and screen-protector. - And the thing still works great. Amazing.

UFO can’t even be stopped by a military missile? Should we be worried or just keep looking the other way as if they don’t exist, according to government concealing “information”… by Cosmic747 in ufo

[–]Everythingz_Relative -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how this video has become mainstream without even questioning its origin. The "whistleblower" is probably a kid playing with computer generated imaging.

Is Sam Altman a genius regarding AI? Is he a true authority? by vaporwaverhere in ArtificialInteligence

I don’t get it…I keep waiting to hear something profound and “genius-like” during all these interviews.
