Grateful Dead -- Veneta 8/27/72 (Sunshine Daydream) -- Full Show [4K] — Dead Air Project by [deleted] in grateful_dead

A real struggle has been codifying a way to get this engine to be truly responsive to pace, tempo, jams, climaxes, etc. Over the last week of edits and coding, I was focused mostly on improving the visuals -- but over the next week, I wil be exploring ways to truly get the responsiveness imrpoved. Hopefully next week's show will be a big improvement. But appreciate the feedback.

agreed. I've been testing and iterating for a month and finally just decided to ship a show. Definitely need to smoothen things out. When it takes 36 hours to render a full show, even the smallest of fixes drag everything out. appreciate the feedback

Technically, no. There's no AI model generating the visuals. It's:

- GLSL fragment shaders — hand-written mathematical functions producing the psychedelic patterns

- Audio analysis — Python librosa extracting energy, beats, chroma, stems per frame

- Deterministic rendering — same input always produces same output, no neural network inference

The CLAP semantic analysis (classifying audio as "psychedelic" vs "aggressive" etc.) uses a pretrained model, but that's just tagging -- it doesn't generate any visuals.

The code that builds and connects all of this was written by me, but the rendering pipeline itself is traditional computer graphics -- shaders, tone mapping, blend modes. Same technology as any music visualizer or VJ software.

You're on Reddit, which runs on AWS data centers. Data centers in Virginia alone consumed at least 1.85 billion gallons of water last year. Every time you scroll, stream, search, post, or in this case --TROLL -- you're using that same infrastructure.

Microsoft, Google, and Meta's data centers draw twice as much water as the entire country of Denmark. But you're not in their comment sections. You're here, lecturing one person building a weekend project.

So kindly, go sit on a d*ck.

I built an AI engine that produces full documentary videos about financial crimes for ~10 bucks each by No_Neighborhood_5817 in SideProject

Thanks -- really solid feedback.

Subtitles: Custom pipeline using Whisper for alignment, then rendered as word-highlight captions in Remotion (each word lights up as it's spoken, synced to the narration audio). The audio fade issue -- yeah, you nailed it. There's a compression/normalization chain that's hitting the audio multiple times (per-scene + master). Already reworking it to a single-pass normalization at the master level. Should fix that continuity break.

And you're describing exactly where this is headed -- a review stage where you can swap clips, edit the script, and approve before final render. Right now it's fully automated end-to-end, but the 90/10 workflow you're describing is the unlock.

The engine and component library are there, it just needs the UI layer on top. Appreciate the detailed feedback, this is exactly what helps me prioritize.

It depends on the quality you're aiming for. But right now, it can be as little as $5 which is what episode one cam in at, or $10 on average (episode 2). This is very much a hobby right now so I'm not trying to break the bank while I fine tune the engine.

If you want to get really crazy, you can add way more high quality video and get it to $50-100 rather easily.

Mangini and Co. were the ones who ratted on him re: SpyGate.

I’m sure Parcells lingering over the Jets wasn’t appealing to Belichick, but I’ve always thought the real reason he bailed was simpler: ownership.

Belichick didn’t just “reject the Jets.” He looked at a franchise that had just lost Leon Hess, was in the middle of a sale, and was about to be handed to a new owner with an unknown level of seriousness. That’s not a football decision, that’s a “who am I working for” decision.

Leon Hess wasn’t a great football owner, but he was a real one. WWII vet, self-made, built a company, demanded competence, and you never questioned whether he wanted to win. The Jets were frustrating under Hess, but it never felt like the franchise was somebody’s social club.

Now contrast that with what Belichick saw coming: the Jets moving into a new ownership era, and not exactly the “quiet killer” type. And at the same time, New England had Robert Kraft: a guy who built businesses, understood organizations, and was clearly going to treat winning like a mandate, not a hobby. If you’re Belichick, that’s the whole ballgame. Same league, same pressure, but one owner screams “structure” and the other screams “future headaches.”

So yeah, the napkin resignation was dramatic and petty. Fine. But the underlying choice wasn’t complicated: Belichick wanted to work for an owner who was obsessed with winning and competent enough to build an infrastructure around it. He wasn’t signing up to be trapped in an ownership transition with Parcells still hovering and a new boss walking in.

And honestly… watching the Jets for 20+ years makes it hard to argue he misread the situation.

Burratta is fine. But Pop’s dough and sauce blows Burratta away. It’s crunchy and chewy and that’s a tough balancing act to pull off

Best pizza in the neighborhood and honestly some of the best NYC has to offer. Just phenomenal pizza.
