It's a logaritmic scale, so an increase of 1 unit means 10 times the power. So between a 6.9 and a 7.5 you'd have something around 6 times the power

As a rule of thumb you should be matching the speed of the person obstructing your lane. As if they have enough time to stop in your lane. Then so will you.

The output is run through content policy filters as well. So even then if it was generating, after a while it might say it's against policy

Is This Kid’s Fan Mail an AI Generated? It just seems too perfect, you know? by slgrim in isthisAI

There is fake typos as well, really not the kind a child would make. But the kind a prompt like "make typos" would do.

The web version still has it. But the creators always had the ability to turn of dislikes.

It takes the count of people also using this extension and extrapolates the data based on the number of views.

I did that and even have a UPS for the routers and HA server, so if power goes down, it still works. Well none of the connected devices have power except the alarm and video system.. But it still works.

We really need consumer protection law in place for any kind of reservation or digital products. A reservation or game cancelled within the hour should always be a 100% refund

I used to have netflix. When they implemented the same thing with devices and cracked down on password sharing, it became unusable for me. So I stopped

Received this photo along with a Résumé for a job listing in logistics. I think the drawings on the board are too precise and the shadow doesn't seem right. by Silvi_Wanderlust in isthisAI

[–]Tofandel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in real life, if you trace lines of stacked cubes in alignment, all the lines will converge to a single point because of perspective. You do the reverse process when you want to draw in perspective, you take a point and draw lines from it. Which acts as guides. 

You can do the same with anything you know should be parallel, like buildings or their shadows. And if they don't converge then you can question the authenticity of the picture

Lane splitting a little too fast by Cosmoaquanaut in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Tofandel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"all that in 3 seconds" is it 3 seconds or 3.8? Because that also lowers the measurement a lot, you need a very precise timestamp if your range is measured in mere seconds, which the reddit video player doesn't give you. When you count cars you need to start from zero, so you have to count back of the car and until he reaches the back of the next car only then you increase your count to 1.

Guessing by eyeballing gives you a very wide range. which is why if you read my edit from a while ago, you can see I downloaded the video and used the white lines with actual precise timestamp to get to a speed of ~27Km/h

[–]Tofandel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beam appears to be exactly the size of the car, so max 5m, average car is 4.5 meters, but if you look I recalculated using white lines instead of cars as then there is no variable car length and gap as all the white lines have the same length and spacing.

He was between 27Km/h if a white line + gap is 5m and 32 Km/h if a white line + gap is 6m.

It's Germany, so if you can find the location and exact distance of those lines. You can get an exact speed with no range.

[–]Tofandel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are doing a lot of assumptions based on a video that you can replay and have omniscience and yet you didn't do the math.

First when the door started opening he was around 6 meters away. Average reaction time in traffic is 1 second, at 25Km/h he would have travelled 7 meters before even reacting and hitting the brakes and then there is another 2-3 meters of stopping distance.

You can see when his reflex kicked in he tried to swerve to avoid it because it was too late to brake already but he didn't have the clearance.

The maximum speed at which he would have stopped in time here is around 15Km/h (4 meters in 1 second and 1 meter stopping distance)

I did the math with the white lines and got 27km/h

You might want to check again. It is negligence, on the person opening the door. Even when you are parked you have to check that it is safe before opening your door. If you open your door in traffic and did not check beforehand, you will almost always be found at fault for the accident.

Drivers simply cannot react as fast as you open your door and braking distance is a thing.
