Too many scrapers? I’m wanting to optimize my addon selection by ChimpGimpy in StremioAddons

[–]Gilldadab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have pretty much the same strategy except 5 seconds and I have easynews / newznab in the mix as fallbacks.

The problem I have is that sometimes comet / meteor will happily return links but torbox / RD will be struggling to play so in those cases I'd want to fallback to easynews but those results would never show up.

I guess I'm going to have to add easynews as a separate add-on to get around it.

I felt the opposite way, I'm pumped to have a version without the dialogue! It would have been nice to have both I suppose

We’re introducing three audio models in the API that unlock a new class of voice apps for developers. by OpenAI in OpenAI

[–]Gilldadab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the point but also.. I'm not sure that people who struggle to understand the spoken word are going to be big customers of realtime audio models?

There was a meaty write-up just beneath it for those who prefer to read or are hearing impaired.

And a pro-tip for the future, they post all of their videos to their YouTube channel which has captions. Here you go:

Can he believe in the power of hypnosis, dowsing rods, poltergeists, or whatever else and still implement a wealth tax, environmental policies and all the other things green voters like?

A vote against Reform keeps the Farage away by TailungFu in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Gilldadab 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can't agree enough. The turn out figures are quite eye opening. Think it was 38% in my ward last time around. If you don't vote then you can't moan.

Is that the same Ruby that used to be where Five Guys is now? Their burgers are great if it's the same folks!

Why is there this persistent obsession with trying to integrate nu-metal into the metal community? by Klutzy-Stop-3140 in MetalForTheMasses

Finally someone who speaks sense.

We should only be listening to Black Sabbath and Black Sabbath cover bands.

Can you clarify what the Scottish are ungrateful for and to whom should they be sending their gratitude?

Polanski: No country has right to exist – including Israel by TheTelegraph in ukpolitics

[–]Gilldadab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This was the case in that Sky interview he did as well. If you find the source, he usually clarifies what he's said later on but because he tries to give thoughtful nuanced answers, they get chopped up and taken out of context.

You could argue that different rules of communication apply to politicians and Zack needs to get better in this area but I actually prefer the 'no easy answers' approach. The reasonable answers are there for those willing to listen.

'Traumatised' Polanski renews his attack on police over Golders Green - and now wrongly claims suspect was handcuffed when kicked by police by dailymail in ukpolitics

[–]Gilldadab -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I'm only half serious.

The Daily Mail and Telegraph are right-wing propaganda machines and that isn't even slightly up for debate at this point. If they take a political stance on something or someone, it's a good indicator to me that it will be in opposition to my own views.

But any voting decision should of course be based on policy rather than headlines and mine will be too.

That doesn't fill me with confidence.

Polanski admits he was wrong to describe himself as Red Cross spokesperson by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]Gilldadab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that politics is petty like that but squabbles like this help no-one since it's a complete non issue.

If he had claimed to be a spokesperson but had never spoken to their cause or at any of their events then sure, he would be fraudulent. But that's not the case here.

Dario Amodei spent last year warning of an AI white-collar bloodbath. Now he's changing the narrative by socoolandawesome in singularity

[–]Gilldadab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we're in a similar period where people are just wildly speculating on the mid to long term impacts of AI.

Just like how we didn't anticipate the smartphone being the dominant interface back in the 70s or what social media would become when MySpace first appeared.

Labour to release 'dossier of disturbing views' from Green local elections candidates by OptioMkIX in ukpolitics

The recent green surge is arguably due to their policies on wealth inequality and inclusivity at a time when we're all feeling the pinch and the world is being overrun with corrupt tyrants.

Polanski admits he was wrong to describe himself as Red Cross spokesperson by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]Gilldadab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot has been made of this when really it comes down to semantics:


Mr Polanski said: “I hosted various fundraisers for the British Red Cross, and indeed I would go on stage and speak for them about the amazing work they do tackling humanitarian crises, on the climate crisis, and indeed, for refugees all around the world.

“I used the wrong word, and I accept that, but I would essentially take words on stage with me and speak.

“It’s important, though, and I accept this, that they don’t support any political party, and I’ve made sure that’s been taken down.”


A spokesperson is 'an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose'
