ChaoticNeutralCzech

This is gramatically correct in some languages with double negatives, such as Czech.

Could have been a dumb translation from one of such languages… like on this piece of military equipment made in the Czech Republic

Oh no, Techmoan uses AI... badly From Techmoan’s video The man with the magic EQ at 19:37 (YouTube) Techmoan just employed AI to find which of the many 78-RPM record EQ standards his equalizer uses in its “78” mode. He made recordings in RIAA and 78 modes, named them accordingly (shouldn’t have to avoid bias), and uploaded them into a chatbot… Does he think the chatbot actually ran code on the server that calculated the frequency spectrum (FFT) of each track, divided 78/RIAA at each data point (or subtracted on log scale) to get relative values, normalized to the well-known RIAA curve, plotted the curve and identified roll-off frequencies and slopes? I’m not saying this is impossible with AI, I’m sure a token-burning, recursively-prompting LLM (aka “agent”) could write a Python script that runs on the local PC and actually does this. But no company would offer people to prompt agents on their servers for free like that. Pretty sure the bot just made up values to plot with Matplotlib or something. The first chart has a big red flag: the noise makes the curve go beyond the Y-axis maximum, suggesting the clean version existed first and the chart was “cropped” to that, then the noise was added. The second two charts imply that the bottom one is the derivative of the top, which it obviously isn’t (if you know calculus). And RIAA EQ being +12 dB to +14 dB louder than the “78” preset across most of the audible spectrum? There’s barely any volume difference when he toggles the switch in the video! And there’s no 500Hz bass roll-off the AI was so adamant about! see edit below Edit: here are annotated pictures: Edit: the lack of 500Hz roll-off in these charts (if they are to be believed) means the “78” and “RIAA” characteristics are the same around 500 Hz, which is to be expected for Brunswick, since it uses the same 500Hz roll-off as RIAA. I just forgot that the AI didn’t do the important Step 3 in my outlined procedure to get the “78” response curve. Still, the derivative is either smoothed beyond usability or plain wrong. Plus, Techmoan misrepresented the result (see second set of subtitles). If we take “Measured relative EQ curve” at face value like he did, Brunswick and RIAA are virtually identical in bass with their 500Hz roll-off (see the chart, it’s near-flat below 1500 Hz). The difference is in the upper frequencies. Also, is that actually ChatGPT’s interface? Never used it but the “citation” sure looks like from Google’s AI overview.

He’s not very technologically literate (at least when it comes to AI) despite the channel name… He mostly just reviews Hi-Fi gear and only learns technical details if they are important to the equipment’s working

Wednesday does contain dnes, which is Czech for “today”. A nice mnemotechnic for the most difficult one.

Rounding wrong, too…

Czech has nearly free word order. You can put “nikdy”, “nevypínejte” and “server” in any order, depends on context and what is emphasized but this one is indeed preferred.

It isn’t and likely won’t be. If YouTube literally forced AI on creators, many would likely flee, and YT would lose on training data. They are even cracking down on faceless channels because most of the new ones are slop, catching even well-known ones like Kurzgesagt in the process. Still, I think Techmoan wouldn’t have used AI if it weren’t for its aggressive marketing and encouragement from “AI bros” so there was some pressure on him.

Yes, the voice with which he says “our friend AI” suggests he is trying if it lives up to the marketing, not realizing it’s very likely to just infer what he wants to hear from the file names. But it looks like the AI did write some Python to make these charts (apparently with Matplotlib). Did it actually analyze the files, rather than just make up the data? I highly doubt that the free tier of Gemini or whatever would, and the badly cropped first chart is a big red flag.

There are not many places where 95% compression of UTF-8 plain text could be outweighed by needing a 30GB model in memory and a significant fraction of current LLM inference cost to decompress it − and good luck convincing librarians to adopt it.

“Our technology presents a huge threat to the job market, truth online, cybersecurity and climate continued human existence because it’s just so good. We acknowledge this and don’t want to be seen like the villains. Will somebody please regulate us?” *wink*

Similarly, Android has distinct "share" and "open with" menus but I mostly use the former as the latter.

Our family PC has one family user.

The device is found by the keywords “Dakota Weather Station Clip”. It has a battery holder for a coin cell, which can be opened/closed with one such cell (or a fingernail unless it's too tight). It's convenient but adds thickness to the device, most commonly a bike speedometer. It is featured on Wikipedia's list of screw head types (linked by OP) although most such covers don't actually screw in, they latch after a small rotation. This seems to be one of them since there's a triangle marking the latch position (albeit useless without a corresponding label on the device).

I've seen ones where the clip has been clearly forced with a small flathead screwdriver. If you have one (or a piece of cutlery, ballpoint pen core, twig or something), insert it sideways instead for more torque without damaging force!

Nokia is Finnish but I think they had closed EU factories by the Symbian era

You are correct, that is simplified. The whole line is

int personality = sizeof(goals) / sizeof(goals[0]);

To get the length of an array in C, it's necessary to divide its memory footprint by the size of a single element!

BTW you can see what appears to be ASCII in the background of that image. You can decode it if you're bored.

#define unlocked endl

Yeah, nobody writes that except to make a single joke

There won't be a date number 2, she will propose on date number 1

The teeth match! Everything in the picture must be true! /s

Technically, a CPU fan is also optional but you need to provide some other cooling (water pump?) or accept massive throttling.

With default settings, I do. Every document I remember. The only difference is semitransparent header and footer in the GUI. Maybe you've enabled the fullscreen/reader view that usually breaks everything, or it's default on web or mobile. I achieved high proficiency with Office 2013 and honestly, it's not fully WYSIWYG, you have to do things like toggle field codes for some advanced stuff but 99.9 % of work done by Word users is in WYSIWYG mode. As for what-you-see-is-what-you-want? Well, hard no.

Nice, especially with a solar panel at the top. But street lamps near roads are prone to accidents, and I'm sure a big block of Li-Ion in the base would make these way more risky.

You can stick wires with mains voltage into any two pins of any motherboard connector but there's a reason they're not shaped like an AC receptacle 💥. Unless it's a ZX Spectrum, that cheap thing used the most basic connector (3.5mm jack) for everything: cassette I/O, video output and, unregulated 9V DC power input from the transformer brick, and people would often fry it.

So much "nerd" paraphernalia is BS... This one is ridiculous (one doesn't get to "be a programmer" by sorting and collecting 10 personality traits as if they're goals or achievements) but at least it shows varied syntax in the C language: the number of unique keywords is very high. To show you're a nerd, don't go with obvious "look, this is what I am" but use dogwhistles (Conway's Game of Life or fractals can look like knitting patterns) or to be obvious, some things you personally like or made. Badge with your distro's logo or mascot, code you actually wrote or its output, wearable blinkenlights project... Just be more focused on your interests than yourself.

Because it would go up to about 100 rpm and people at the store would know it performs poorly

He doesn't need a *motor*bike for that.

Band-limiting is indeed a term used in some CNN topologies, but what visual effect would it have?

Contact books too?

I don't see any clear giveaways but the bagel cups' shadows look very much not parallel. It could be a wide-angle lens doing its thing though.

I take one off and hop. Or throw a rug on the floor and shuffle.

Of course they’re going to release GTA 6 once it’s done, what else would they do?

To someone, perhaps. I wouldn’t mind a vanilla GF.

Did they get Playstation done and then just not release it? That’s what I meant.

A part-time job with good pay and benefits!

I’m willing to sacrifice about 10 % of the range by re-rolling if the number generated has too low/high value or low entropy (for example if its GZ compression is shorter than original). The range should taper off too, for instance if 2¹²³+1 is the technically lowest number possible, it should still have a 99% chance for a re-roll, so there’s no “fixed lowest number”.

For this very reason, common definitions of “security” now include availability for authorized use

2.73 liters by the way. Totally feasible, and often not even enough depending on body type, weather and activity.

This is a single-layer PCB, neither microscopic nor semiconducting. Chip design is at a whole new level that doesn’t fit in this little JPEG

Poor Ben Chen. Their style got coopted by AI, like David Reevoy’s.

Pride flags and log cabins both usually have horizontal stripes. Easy to combine

Hard to tell at this resolution, some DIY PCB processes do result in dark stains but you’re probably right

Some don’t have handshakes. Radio broadcasting just infodumps on everyone, which is also what some neurodivergent people wish they could do

Looks like YUV misinterpreted as RGB. Black maps to low-intensity green.
