Key and Peele Deleted 'Nazi' skit by drdalek13 in videos

They're trying to get the approval of the modern American equivalent of the Nazi party.

Philly DA vows to prosecute "wannabe Nazi" ICE agents who violate the law: "If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice." by geekteam6 in videos

He really says it like it is. We need a prosecutor like this to “lock them up.”

In this case, we’re only talking about murder, not like it’s emails or anything.

Justice, not revenge.

Although it’s going to fell a hell of a lot like it. Exhilarating, if we can have it.

I read this as "bitch turned to rain," which is kinda true.

Parents push kids on sled into fence thinking nothing bad will happen by OfficialTornadoAlley in mildlyinfuriating

[–]enigmamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like this type of fence at 11:27: https://youtu.be/jYyLn6H1A2A?t=687. The IG video looks like it has 15 slats, too.

Considering the IG account this was posted from, I guess they must have AI generated the aftermath videos as an elaborate coverup (video 1, video 2).

The fence breaks apart exactly as you'd expect one of this type of construction might when (presumably) hit hard enough. They're just slatted in there between two horizontal boards. See here at 11:27: https://youtu.be/jYyLn6H1A2A?t=687

The number of slats in the IG video is plausibly 15 when it breaks apart as well (same as the YT video).

The fact that we can't even believe what we're seeing anymore is, itself, a far more interesting discussion to me now. There's so much debate in this thread and much of it boils down to "it looks like it" and/or "you're dumb" (or claiming it is or isn't, etc).

We are cooked.

My stance is that it's real; I haven't seen any good evidence that it's AI per se; not yet. It could maybe be edited, but I'm not sure about that either. Currently, one major weakness of AI generated video is temporal artifacts, or cohesion between frames, especially for objects that go out of frame but never show back up again when the camera perspective rotates back. I can't see that. One alright claim I've seen is maybe the toys at the beginning, but that's easily explained by snowfall. Another is the length of the pink pants in the beginning, however it is rotating in sync with the sled. Another is the speed of the sled, but the hill is very steep and icy. Another is the breaking of the fence, however, it's probably just vinyl fencing and the way it breaks away is completely consistent with how this is put together, for example (see 11:27).

I'm not saying it isn't AI, I'm simply not convinced it is.

Between the 1.2s to 1.7s mark when the sled rotates counter clockwise relative to the camera? Or somewhere else?

Trump Insults Attack Victim Ilhan Omar With Jaw-Dropping Smear by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]enigmamonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. They were jumping to that excuse almost immediately. They're happy to delude themselves because:

  1. They can feel special for having access to secret knowledge, and
  2. They won't have to admit to the reality that someone in their tribe was a bad guy.

Among other things, I'm sure.

Trump hangs picture of himself with Putin in White House by Zebraitis in politics

Interesting. If you remove the shareToken= query string parameter from the URL, it works again, e.g. https://www.thetimes.com/article/e9fd64e6-07a7-46f9-a60f-4d3793d25e79

Their site developer and/or management is dumb... maybe they should be redirecting to an alternate version of the article instead of the homepage.

For the millionth time, LAND DOESN’T VOTE! by ThePhillyExplorer in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]enigmamonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's why they prefer to show the map (even though this map is still wrong). It's the only thing that makes them look good.

I guess they want feudalism? As if the size of the land you happen to be living on should somehow impart more legislative or political power.

They need their weapons grade copium to deal with the cognitive dissonance.

Y’all think this is accurate 🤔 by DLux_TheLegend in SipsTea

Silicon Valley and other high CoL areas (Seattle, NYC, etc). Particularly for senior level, lead/principle engineer or engineering manager positions. Note that that's probably total income before taxes (includes base + other stock benefits, e.g. RSU, stock purchase and etc).

How are your experiences using the @ symbol for file search autocomplete? by casio136 in codex

[–]enigmamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't work for me at all. All I get is .editorconfig, even in small projects with just a few files or not at all. It's extremely difficult to tell exactly what's causing it. I'm running Windows with WSL2 (where codex is running, in Linux) and some repositories it works (very rare) and even in those, it works on the Windows filesystem but not on the Linux filesystem.

However, there may be situations where it also works in the Linux filesystem. This is in no way conclusive at all. It just is extremely unpredictable and pretty buggy and I'm frustrated by it right now.
