Get out and vote. Run for office - local politics is where you start - get involved. Be that change.

It really just comes down to this.

But it takes more effort to do so, than comment on an Internet forum.

It sure seems like they feel that way about social security.

We paid into it, we should be able to get the benefits from it, just like any other American in any other generation.

Every generation can see right from wrong. The problem is we’re not all agreeing on what is right and what is wrong.

most mmo

I play WoW, SWTOR, and New World just fine.

Which MMOs were you thinking about?

Bottles is great, and it puts links in for you into Steam, so you can launch the games directly from inside the Steam client.

but 10 years ago was actually pretty good for Linux gaming too.

Feels to me like that’s going too far back, to make that statement. I would say the last three/four years, personally.

I mean it kinda seems like there’s exactly one way to do it. They’re not elaborate costumes by any means, and they’re uniforms so you can’t exactly get creative with it.

Not with the costumes maybe, but with the acting, you definitely can.

Edit: just collapse this thread and move on. Cosmic Cleric is an obvious troll.

Screw you, and your gatekeeping censoring.

I replied, saying the comment is not correct, and I gave reasons why, which are valid reasons.

Your adding things that would allow a binary search work, but the question was in a situation where the only evidence is the conflict itself

I’m describing the vast majority of fights that happen in the public. Also, you’re trying to move the goalposts by focusing on a fight, when the discussion is about the theft of a bike.

Edit: One thing we didn’t even mention, AI can also be used these days to notice subtle changes in the video. If a video is a static image of an alley, then two people walk in the alley and fight, even though they leave no traces behind, that moment of the fight is caught on the video with activity/movement. Motion sensor movement, basically.

because they are talking about a hypothetical situation where no visual cues are left.

No, I am not. I’m disagreeing with that, and my comments are stating as much. I’m allowed to disagree with what someone is saying.

@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

You didn’t get what was talked about here. Re-read the topmost parent comment.

I was responding to this …

Part of my job is to review security footage for reported incidents.

If there is a long-lasting visual cue that the event has or has not happened yet (e.g. a window is either broken or not), then a binary search is very useful.

If the event lasts only a moment and leaves no visual cue (e.g. an assault), then binary search is practically useless.

I disagree with the “leaves no visual cue” part, as I’ve commented on. There’s ALWAYS something caught on the video to help determine things. Maybe not enough, but never nothing.

CosmicCleric, (edited )
@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

You are seriously confused.

And you are seriously trying to kill the messenger.

OP specifically said that you’re fucked if there is no visual cue.

And I’m saying there’s ALWAYS a visual clue/cue, always. Either the bike is there one minute and gone another, or a fight breaks out and trashes the place from the fight. In the vast amount of cases, there’s always a visual difference.

And in this case we’re talking specifically about a bike, going missing.

How do you binary search for two people arriving, one punches the other, they both leave?

In the same way the OP talks about it …

You don’t watch the whole thing, he said. You use a binary search. You fast forward to halfway, see if the bike is there and, if it is, zoom to three quarters of the way through. But if it wasn’t there at the halfway mark, you rewind to a quarter of the way though. Its very quick. In fact, he had pointed out, if the CCTV footage stretched back to the dawn of humanity it would probably have taken an hour to find the moment of theft.

Instead of a bike, you look for the aftereffects of a fight happening (chairs knocked down, tables turned over, etc.). You can even look at how many people congregate around the location of the fight before and after the video as a ‘marker’ to the point of time the fight was happening/just finished.

Edit: One thing we didn’t even mention, AI can also be used these days to notice subtle changes in the video. If a video is a static image of an alley, then two people walk in the alley and fight, even though they leave no traces behind, that moment of the fight is caught on the video with activity/movement. Motion sensor movement, basically.

You either don’t know what binary search is or you completely missed the context of this conversation

I’m a computer programmer. I know exactly what a binary search is. I’ve written binary searches before.

The search is to get you to the point where you can watch the video to see the crime happening, in hopes of indentifying the perpretrator.

CosmicCleric,
@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

If the incident leaves no trail, you can’t know whether you can discard the left side or the right side

There’s a moment where the bike is there, then another when its not. The whole video, either way, will either from the beginning up to the point of theft have the bike there, or NOT have the bike there from the point of theft to the end of the video. The marker is the removal of the bike from the video lens.

I’ve been wrong in arguments before, it feels awful. The best things to do are either address the misunderstanding in the original comment, or not engage with anyone else who feels like arguing more.

Well, I’m not wrong, so I don’t worry awful it from that angle. Just feel that people are not arguing/conversing in good faith.

The misunderstanding of others assuming differently than I was discussed elsewhere in the comment thread. To reiterate, I believe my assumptiion is the correct one based on how the world is, and not hypotheticals.

As far as not arguing more, it gets to a point of where some moderation should be happening, because its pretty evident at some people that people are group thinking attacking someone just for the lols if nothing else, and I say that because when I explain why I don’t think I’m wrong they don’t answer my point, but instead just insert their own new points in the conversation.

Otherwise, I feel the need to defend myself, especially when people say I’m saying things I’m not saying. “Standing up to bullies” sort of attitude. It sucks, but Humanity can be assholes sometimes.

I’d really like to stop talking about this now, I’d appreciate you not responding to this comment, unless you really feel the need to. Take care.

What does that have to do with a binary search If a camera has AI on

You can have a AI do the actual binary search as described by the OP in his comment pic. Doesn’t have to be a human being that does it, but the process would be done the same way by either.

My mentioning motion detection is just that an AI would be able to detect the moment of change in the video, the focus point more readily than a human being, is all.

I would have went with BABSS, big assed ball shaped spaceship/station.

If I had the guess, one of the novels.

Only analog I can think of in our world would be aircraft carriers or battleships, which are commonly referred to as floating cities, yet they don’t have children or spouses living on board.

From what I’ve heard, one of the darker secrets though is tbat there is sex and sometimes childbirth that goes on.

Not something the Navy usually likes to talk about.

CosmicCleric,

Seems worth a victory lap though, especially considering how hard they worked on it.

Pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza you prick.
