less long by AI (faster to detect changes than humans).

Many things change things. A bit of smoke in the air might have been from a gunshot that happened 10 minutes ago, or it might have been from a cigarette 15 minutes ago. Binary search relies on changes that indicate a specific thing has happened–a broken window, a bike no longer there, blood stains on the street. Anything undetectable by humans would still be useless to AIs. A bit a smoke? Could have been a gunshot 3 minutes ago, could have been a cigarette, could be fog, could be a vape. Even the things that AIs are truly useful for, like interpreting video compression artifacts, wouldn’t help, because any number of things can cause compression artifacts. How could it tell what pixels are slightly off color because of a gunshot 3 minutes ago, and what pixels are slightly off color because someone walked past the camera?

At that point, just feed the entire video to the AI and have it tell you when it sees guns or puffs of smoke or hears screams. Binary search is useless when you can just have a machine watch the entire video in one sitting over the course of five seconds and tell you when the interesting thing happens.

Maybe I have no understanding of what a binary search is. My understanding is that you check halfway through the video, see if the thing has happened yet, then skip halfway to the end if it hasn’t. Check again, skip again. When you see the cue that the event has happened, you rewind to halfway between the latest point where the event hadn’t happened yet and the earliest point when it has. Keep doing that and you can pinpoint the exact frame where the event happens in a matter of minutes.

Binary search would be largely useless in cases where you have a good chance of skipping right past the event. If the video is an hour long, and the event happens 34 minutes in and leaves a visual cue that lasts less than 11 minutes, then binary search does not find the event. At that point, watching the video fast forwarded would be the way to go, and that’s not a binary search, that’s just watching the video.

So I should correct myself: the visual cue doesn’t have to last the remainder of the video, it just needs to last until one of the points that you check. Which still makes it not useful for things that don’t leave visual cues that last more than a few minutes, because it cannot find most of those events if they happen at a random time in an hour+ video.

If it’s not “for the duration of the rest of the video,” then binary search would be useless

Actually, an AI could determine the difference between those, based on shape, location, and opacity, etc.

Lmao now I know you’re fucking with me

Yeah lemme spend three weeks training this AI on the difference between gunsmoke, cigarette smoke, vapes, and fog in this specific alley. Oh, y’all already found the killer because someone just watched the video? Well my point stands, the AI could do it faster

Once it’s trained

In another week

Oh shit, it thought that guy’s cell phone was a gun. See you in another month!

They should all go the 4Kids Yu Gi Oh route and give the characters American names like Joey and Tristan

I ain’t gonna take this blasphemy sitting down. Jad Saxton, Chris Rager, Yuri Lowenthal, Brina Palencia, Crispin Freeman, Johnny Yong Bosch, I’ll fight a mf that says Cherami Leigh lacks soul

English dub VAs don’t get enough credit, it’s damn hard matching mouth movements that were made for a different language

Yep, we usually have an election the first or second Tuesday of every November. On the one hand it sucks that more of us don’t vote, but on the other hand I’d rather that people who get a ballot and just pick whatever name sounds better not do that

I for one like the new hyperrealistic logo phase. The surrealism phase that comes after is hit or miss

Imagine someone reading this in 50 years like “holy shit this starman guy absolutely called it”

I add words to my online vocabulary first, and when I’m comfortable slipping shit like bet and yeet and based into my comments I start slipping them into my real vocab

Charisma, particularly (but not necessarily) with regard to the opposite sex

As usual, the best dictionary has an entry on it! It isn’t exactly the same as my definition, but I’m not some prescriptivist who’s gonna say it’s wrong

Yes and no. The quartz in watches needs to be tuned to a specific frequency. They do this by either adding material or taking some away, just like a normal tuning fork. Here’s a video explaining it better than I possibly can, and it’s Steve Mould, so you know it’s worth the watch

128: The Death of Eastern Forests. I’m listening to the hosts talk about CWD and other prion diseases right now, which is a really cool and not existentially horrifying

Fun fact, the Wikipedia page on hentai has a list of common genres, and also some uncensored images!

And yes, it is better if you don’t know! But can you really keep that link from turning purple?

I fucking hate that people have to try and placate an algorithm that might suppress their post because it contains problematic words. I swear I’ve seen the word r*cist more than the word racist in the last year. It’s not even a dirty word!

Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat.
