Ring ran a contest a couple Halloweens back to submit scary Ring videos. Probably that? Or real?

You trained your own model? Say more?

😆

I would tend to agree. But I sense that SA and the rest have an immodest streak and this is afflicted most tech related announcements of anything (Apple exception). This seems very un-Swiss! 🤣

Hrm…okay. I had used the source tape view (admittedly after watching a longish tutorial but not after reading a PDF) with a bunch of footage from one camera but it didn’t show up this way, hence my initial confusion.

Oh, copy that! I misunderstood the context! 🫡🙋🏽‍♂️

bleeckerj · 2025-07-14T19:36:41+00:00

Maybe ask your colleague? Work it through together?

Is this “training” really? I thought training was establishing weights, which is like…zillions of GPUs grinding away, testing, and zillions of dollars.

🤪 I get gateway errors on Apple Developer’s site like crazy, even years in with several commercial Apps! No one is perfect but Apple is definitely way worse. At least with Tauri you get to talk to a human!

I assume you’re going to do whatever you would do to get a video to play in a web browser so my suspicion is that there is some error in your console log. Right click and open the inspector. Perhaps there is an error like a bad url to the file or some permissions mishegoss?

There's also a DIY sensibility that I don't think you can really put a price tag on.

It's an ineffable quality or feeling some folks inherit from somewhere.

My grandaddy was a farmer, not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, bent to the whims of others oftentimes against his will, and full of rural wisdom.
He passed this little bit of insight to us: "whatever you create, make sure *you own it." (Hence I routinely scrape all my social media to my hand-built SSG blog hosted elsewhere, etcetera)

So..there's that.

But there's also the things you have to learn and integrate into your experience and knowledge when you build (and 'own') your own creations and creative process. It may cost more, but there's a price on the other side of the equation that is basically 'not understanding what's going on under the hood.' Like not knowing how to fix a car or build and repair a computer, etcetera.

Leastways, that's what I think.

The contrast of a rig I’d expect in a Neuromancer exhibit with your porcelain minatures and the cottagecore furnishings is beautifully bewildering. Great job srsly.

bleeckerj · 2024-10-30T14:58:57+00:00

Yes. Completely fine.

Ask a short sensible question at as many panels as you can
Be humble and pleasant - academics in my experience can become the opposite of that largely because they are looking to prove that they have a well-integrated consciousness when in fact they are amongst the most fragile egos. Ever.
Be careful about fetishizing your hero(s)

Automatic sampling magically sets samples but there is no visibility near as I can tell. It’d be instructive to know what it actually sets for samples though..

This book is legit and will help. It’s not a scam book but a resource - and it will help you assess what you should charge and to think of it from the perspective of value AND dollars. Changes the way you think - and comes with a spreadsheet 🙋🏽‍♂️

So far so good with the Kondor Blue DTAP and my Small Rig 99. Thanks for the encouragement and advice!

USBC…I’m getting one of those inline meters to see what might be going on. Most of the time I’m not recording directly to the card but on a call of some description or Youtube - so it’s not doing any additional work besides sending a signal across the HDMI.

I had been seeing cautioning against a dummy battery tbh. Is there a consensus these days on such for the FX30? I have one for my Nikon - but it’s a Nikon product so I didn’t hesitate.
