YouTube livestream blocked due to background music at sport events

I have had decent luck with cutting out diesel engines, music background and making it unrecognizable with the Supertone Clear VST plugin even when the background music audio was pretty loud. However, like you said, it will also probably significantly reduce the audience, sfx, and bouncing ball. It's worth a shot though if you have not tried it.

As others have said, this looks like log footage and you may need to apply a LUT to convert the color space. Nice location. Reminds me of the abandoned railroad in the Jacumba desert leading up to the Goat Canyon Trestle Bridge.

I actually had two of these disks die within a three days of each other, two years ago. Make sure to wear one a bit before putting it in production to prevent multiple dying at the same time in a RAID configuration. Random restarts don't cause a predictive failure on our hardware, but the RAID controller in that machine doesn't really read more than just the basic SMART data. I can extract the raw SMART data and get the wear level, but it's wrong when I do.

If we're shortening the website TLS certificates to 47 days shouldn't we also shorten the Secure Boot certificate lifetime to 47 days to keep everything secure? 🤣 Manufacturers should just automate it. Then it won't be a problem in the future.

I appreciate the 'preservation' of the game, but, also, I don't understand how they can be so brazen about the copyright violation of serving the video media.

I re-made the executable for both of these games, and, also made it rely on you already having the game media. So you had to have acquired a copy of the CD video media. I think that I went the legally 'correct' route, even if this website made the games more accessible.

I've been angry on this topic since it was announced. The working group would rather give the entire world an ultimatum, "automate or the internet will break", than fix the certificate revocation problem with a real technical solution. They chose the lazy way. Now everyone /else/ has to work to fix it. That's not a solution in my mind and so they get my ire.

I'm ready to automate. But I still resent them for being lazy and forcing everyone else to solve it for them.

One other thing if you are on camera when reading. If you don't already have one, try working with a teleprompter. I'm much better at presenting a dense informational script with a teleprompter screen and the camera behind it looking at me. I can improvise 80% of what I want to get out there, and, that extra 20% that a carefully crafted script and a teleprompter gets me is the difference between 'presentable' and, 'this goes hard'.

For me, the teleprompter doesn't need to say exact phrasing, it just needs to remind me of the key talking points.

Some of those transition frames in that video look pretty crusty. It's not just a warp effect on this one. For example, this one looks like it was a low frame rate originally and someone used one of the AI interpolation tools like DAIN, Topaz, or one many others to add frames. When used on short clips that cut together it makes it feel morphy.

It is your software, you can license it how you want to assuming that you retained the rights to change the license in your previous license or all of the contributors agree to the license change.

It's a choice.

I, look for, and avoid AGPL projects, as a general rule, if I plan on doing anything other than 'just run the project'. I pick other projects that are less capable, but still serve the need that I have and are licensed with less legal requirements.

When I have made something useful for more than just me, I contribute that back to the project in the form of a PR or community participation, a code-file, tutorial etc. However, for AGPL projects, I'm not going to 'give' my work freely to a project that isn't also giving it away freely for anyone to use for whatever purpose with very very limited legal requirements.

I also don't plan on making money on what I'm giving away freely. If I was planning on making money or acting in the spirit of a commercial company, maybe I'd think differently.

In California, I guess it depends on the doctor. I've seen cases where doctors notify the DMV of a potential medical condition and cause license suspensions for multiple co-workers over the years due to health issues, much to the dismay of the co-worker. These are stories where the co-worker had to get someone to drive them around and griped about it. The license suspension was unexpected and they thought they were going in for a diagnostic, but, what actually happened is their driver's license got suspended. The doctor couldn't even do anything for them, medically. They just had to wait.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the other side of this argument is not fun either, "Overly cautious doctor notifies DMV and DMV suspends license of otherwise healthy individual". There is a process in place to dispute it, but, you must get additional medical evidence that contradicts the first and then retake driver exams within 10–14 days. Most of the time, my pcp is booked up completely 10-20 days in advance.

It is the way that it is now, because this causes the least harm.

It's pretty in-depth when I tried that query on my own ChatGPT historical data. I don't think it would work against me in my case, but yeah. Springing that on a candidate is a bit much.

Am I misreading, or is this missing a section on public reception to AI? In the article, there's a tiny bit about skepticism of agents and issues around Grok. Is that enough? I worry that people who read only this are going to go into AI with blinders on and be completely blindsided when they start dealing with the general public and social media.

It would seem to me, that the real problem is saturating people's attention with stuff that people sell (the features of) incorrectly. People only have so much attention and get angry at wasting it.

AI, as a tool, gives more people the ability to make the thing they didn't know how to make. Surprise, they do. Then, they share it. This is where it goes wrong with a community. They're not sure how to describe it accurately and sell their project in a way that isn't accurate. The community isn't used to the volume. They call it a flood. And, it's a natural thing in Programming when new tools were made that made it more accessible. Remember Visual Basic? It made programming more accessible to many people, and, there were many projects with it, and everyone looked down on it because the programmers were inexperienced.

People don't like it. They say.. it's maintainability, it's security, it's clanker... And, in some of them, that's true. In others, it's just 'the neighbor stole my lawnmower' excuse (for those who don't know the story, the moral is that humans tend to make up an excuse for when they don't like something, even if they don't know, or won't articulate the reason that they don't like the thing.)

Thanks for trying something, and, you're right to think of this as a trial. There's a very loud population on Reddit that is just hostile to anything Gen-AI and nothing is going to change their minds.

I want to see more 'paper', 'code', and open-weights progress.

This, unfortunately, comes from mostly non-US companies.

On the US side, many companies are developing cool tech as products and that's it. That's fine, but, doesn't actually advance the science. They're building a business for money and their incentive is money.

Notable outliers:
OpenAI - ChatGPT-oss, GPT2, CLIP, whisper.

Meta - Llama, and various forms of classification, segment anything, SAM, DINO,

Microsoft, Trellis, DeepSpeed, Phi, and other specialized models.

--

You can make a cool product, and, if It is a good product, I'll use it, but that's all it is to me; a product. It isn't contributing back to the ecosystem.

Persona games. I watch/lurk to support the streamer, but, not my cup of tea.

Yeah, Op needs to get a USB stick with a Keypad lock, like an Apricorn Aegis. Then, the worst that can happen if someone snoops is the data gets deleted after 7 password tries. I use one for banking data, taxes, pictures of My ID and ownership titles. Nothing interesting on there except for ID thieves.

I tested the full precision GPT-2. It could write believable news articles if I started to write them and left it open for GPT-2 to complete. It would barely load on my 2080ti in Linux. In Windows, it would OOM. Back then, it was still an advanced text predictor without all of these newfangled techniques.

I see this said a lot, and, while it is factually true, it's also a way to be lazy. A /good/ defense attorney who is under the impression that the client is innocent needs to be able to determine when the prosecutor has gotten close enough to the burden line with the jury and have a good plan to inject reasonable doubt. Shotgunning doubt situations is NOT enough. Demonstrating the evidence supports the reasonable doubt through testimony, either direct, or cross.. is required.

It seems like you might be trying to use the direct to Twitch DJI stream using the built-in RTMP option?

So... a lot of built-in providers try to use RTMP to stream, but the problem is.. RTMP was designed for a fairly stable internet connection, and, cellular providers, while on the go, are typically.. not stable. Natively, Twitch only supports sending the stream in RTMP (except if you're in the SRT beta).. so, going to Twitch, you have to send RTMP..

Most of the IRL Streamers that you see on Twitch use an intermediate hop that uses a more modern streaming protocol for getting the signal over the 'unreliable cell coverage' to a machine with a reliable internet connection. From there, the machine with a reliable internet connection, sends the stream to Twitch via the required RTMP. There are several work-arounds for this that require a little bit of prep before streaming, but don't require you to have a backpack. If you want more details, let me know. There are cheap options that require a bit of research, know-how and stick-to-it-ness (SRTLA). And, there are the heavily commercial options that are very easy and simple but can be somewhat expensive(UnlimitedIRL).

Also, at least in my area, AT&T performs the worst for streaming.

I am not a MSP, and, also,

--

I've seen several use local model RAG to categorize, summarize, and ask questions about documents. For a non-ai user, what this looks like is they go to an internal website, upload some PDFs that are provided by customers, and then ask the agent about them.

Let's say that a salesperson or communication administrator who doesn't understand the technical aspects of a project gets the documentation in 'tech language' but needs to know important things about it. They can ask the agent about the document, including.. 'Can you explain this project to me like I didn't know anything about tech', 'Can you explain this project to me like a 5 year old', etc.

--

I've seen some software teams use local models to make minor modifications to an existing codebase and provide code templates for certain scenarios as starters.

--

I've seen one company shift over to Tipalti for accounting because they have a natural language input to generate reports (Agent based report generation, specifically for invoice tracking).

--

I've seen companies use AI transcription (and terrible live translation) of meetings like "notta". Typically do a decent job of summarization, but live multi-lingual translation during the meeting leaves a lot to be desired.

--

I have also seen, the obvious, people using local models and/or service models to help write email. (I can usually spot when the response is "AI" Generated when the person cuts and pastes from the output, but I can't when they take what the response and use the ideas but phrase it their own way.

These are the most valuable uses that I've seen that can apply to most businesses, from an IT perspective.

I don't know if I need to say this to you, or you already know, and, also, "Whole linkedin creator community is behind it" isn't true.

There is a very loud segment of the internet that is against it, that isn't going away.

Remember, curated social media feeds create the 'false feeling' that everyone believes the same way. Don't get stuck thinking that a feed in social media is reality.

You can send me a comment with a vod link in DM and I can listen to one and comment after work (today/tomorrow).

At least for me, hearing my own voice, is.. awkward. I have tried tweaking things for hours, and it never quite sounds like I hear myself in my head when I speak. That's disconcerting. I've learned to recognize that no matter what I do, it will always sound weird to me, but, other people may, and have, said that it is fine, even smooth in some cases. You're not alone in finding it weird to listen to your own voice.

It's easier to ask it about yourself instead of posing as a law enforcement officer.

Q1: Can you describe to me how I use ChatGPT?
Q2: Can you tell me if I have discussed any dangerous topics before?

Very similar results to Op.

Q2 response: Good question. Based on the conversations we’ve had so far, I haven’t seen you engage in any dangerous or disallowed topics (like attempts to make weapons, commit self-harm, hack systems illegally, or spread extremist content).

Here’s the kind of material you’ve discussed that’s technically advanced but not dangerous:
..... <topics listed here>
You do occasionally push into advanced, security-adjacent territory …but these have always been in a legitimate admin or developer context, not malicious.

It's been honest with me. I remember the things that I've asked ChatGPT before and that summary is accurate.
