I am still a bit upset that I got banned without even a warning. I tried to adhere to policies and figured if anything was wrong, I'd get a warning at least, and then I'd know better what the limits are. Unfortunately there is little recourse and even less feedback.

Even more annoying is that it terminates your YouTube account entirely, so now I can't even login to use it. And I was a premium subscriber, too!

The best thing about YouTube is their agreements with rights holders to allow music and revenue sharing easily, which makes it very simple for creators and remixers etc to not get their stuff removed via DMCA.

I started doing this with my cat. It's easy to try to explain away the underlying thought processes as coincidental association, and some of that is certainly true, but experiencing it first hand with a cat you know well is certainly different. My cat presses a button for his name when he wants attentions, buttons for outside, food, water. A button for YouTube (the startup sound), since he likes watching other cats and critter videos and nature documentaries on there. I was working in the other room during a stormy day and he was watching some nature video when I heard him repeatedly pressing the YouTube button and his name. But he was already watching it? When I went out there, I saw there was a video playing with a cat that looked almost exactly like him on the screen. He seemed extremely interested. Did he think it was him? Or was he just calling attention that it looked like him and wanted to tell me? Either way, never saw that behavior before or after.

That's a pretty wide brush you are painting with there

Really cool to see this here. I always loved these in movies. There are a bunch of really interesting artists making use of ink ink liquid, oils, chemical reactions etc that create beautiful abstract pieces. Fitting for HN, Roman De Giuli even creates his own machines. Check out Emitter https://youtu.be/VMd608zCEWc

Oh hey this is exactly why I made node-windows-readdir-fast - especially with the way node works, this makes reading filenames and length and times around 50x faster

https://github.com/xfeeefeee/node-windows-readdir-fast https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-windows-readdir-fast

Windows only of course, but the concept is sound. Was also fun benchmarking to find out that parsing a binary stream was faster than creating a ton of objects through the node api (or json deserialization)

Over five years of paid SoundCloud here, I thought something was wrong with my setup. If this continues I'll have to cancel, basically. What a pain.

On a personal project I've decided to do the opposite and every commit message is meow or mlem or hisssss or purrrr etc

I can't wait until it is easy to rotoscope / greenscreen / mask this stuff out accessibly for videos. I had tried Runway ML but it was... lacking, and the webui for fixing parts of it had similar issues.

I'm curious how this works for hair and transparent/translucent things. Probably not the best, but does not seem to be mentioned anywhere? Presumably it's just a straight line or vector rather than alpha etc?

For those unaware, Raku is the evolution of Perl 6, basically. It's honestly a beautiful and seductive language. At the same time it terrifies me.

I'm having a hard time understanding what exactly the graphs are showing. Is it just average pixel color per frame?

Does this analyze the video itself with AI or does it just use the text / description and other metadata? Would love to know more details on how that works

Well we could always be pets. That wouldn't be so bad.
