It's hard to describe how difficult it is to hear someone talking and then a second later hear then in your headphones. It really breaks my concentration. And it's a solvable technology problem - just use the local network for people in the same subnet. But every meeting provider wants _everything_ routed through their servers. There's no escaping they prying eyes.

Because with google it's an unwinnable arms race.

Maybe they literally just don't care about how much traffic they put on your network. Maybe the thought is "1 tb of traffic internally is very low utilization of the network over the course of a month".

Maybe the interactive link in the article for the optic focus can lead you on a fun journey instead. And the bottom-right of every visualization is a link to yet another fun diorama to explore.

... is a link to the source code.

It's the easiest way to convey what I was doing. Anyway, some prompts added. I have other videos too if intersted.

I'm going to truncate a lot of this. But here is the root prompt that will get you a video.

  Make a youtube poop video about having too many tabs that keep appearing faster than you can close them. Style it after the "too many cooks" viral youtube video that seemed to repeat over and over, getting worse and worse every time. You have ffmpeg and a plethora of programming languages at your disposal. Go completely nuts and make it as extensive and creative as you want. Render should be 1920x1080, and later 4k if you did a good job.

[discussions about acts, characters, darkening theme, etc.]

Workshopping the acts:

  The play has a font issue. See screenshot.

  [Image #1]

  Also, can you change the thing that happens at the start of episode one the cursor clicking the one tab and it becomes two. Then it clicks another tab and it becomes four. Is that a breaking change? You can change the speed of the actions to fit it in if needed.

Here is a refinement prompt:

  The last screen just before "The End", the cursor clicks on the browser window instead of the tab close button. Can you make it click on the tab itself? Here is a screenshot of where it clicks [Image #3]

  Also, on the intro screen, the cursor clicks the tab and new tabs open, can you have it click the links in the page instead. See screenshot[Image #4].

  You can keep the exact same timing for both of these.

Source code is linked from the video! Scan the QR code. I will try to /resume tonight and give you some prompts.

I've created multiple videos using Claude Code, including music and speech. It generates python which in turn generates frame PNGs that it runs through ffmpeg.

Please don't judge me too harshly for this particular poop video. But here is an example of something 100% generated with claude prompts only.

> are heavily subsidised by the Chinese government

We hear this about literally every industry the Chinese excel in - that it's only because the government subsidizes them that they succeed. For chip manufacturing, for batteries, for EVs, for solar, for AI. I don't see how the chinese government can afford to subsidize all of these industries and still have them contribute to the GDP.

I feel like NES is pretty much the dividing line of what you can get younger people interested in.

Sounding like desktop/laptop with a mouse is the only way to interact with this site. It's a great first try though. I spent a few minutes poking around for sure.

It's only unified because we have republicans in power. As soon as we have democrats in power, republicans will only want the opposite of what is being proposed.

> Essentially, it's not a violation of your rights if somebody sits on a street corner and takes a picture of every car that drives by.

In theory sure. But the strange truth is that in practice you aren't allowed to do this.

When my mother was born, plate tectonics was a hypothesis. When I was born we didn't know for certain if planets existed outside of our solar system.

Dahmer's victim would like to have a word with you.

Enough alarm bells are ringing to suggest that this is not normal. The persecution of political enemies isn't even a veiled threat, they are spoken outright in public.

Tell me. What do they not deserve to be getting?

It's always "someone over there is getting something they don't deserve". Every. Single. Time.

One uncomfortable truth you should probably confront is the hostility of conservatives. Education and educators specifically have been targets of hate campaigns for the last 40 years.

I would argue conservatism is the cause of this problem. Their constant attacks on educators and education in general are so pervasive.

Additionally, there's no world in which they want these parents to actually succeed. If there's ever a scenario where someone tries to improve the lives of these people, conservatives will argue that they do not deserve it because they don't contribute to society like conservatives do.

It's crazy to me they are presenting sluggified account names as something that should be taken seriously. But I guess it doesn't matter because most people just don't notice, and worse, the technology surrounding reddit does not seem to care.

I assume you've investigated Playwright for the web apps.

I think what we're seeing is that flock is presented to police as a reliable technology that can be trusted for this sort of thing. If a random person had snapped a picture they would have questioned it.

But they didn't question the quality of the evidence. And there is a reason for that.

It's pretty clear that flock is presented as reliable evidence to the people acting on it.

I wish laptops would come with a standard TKL layout. I really need those navigation keys. Ctl-end, ctl-shift-home, ctl-shift-left, all of those things I am constantly using and feel like I'm wearing mittens when using pretty much any laptop.

It certainly is. But I won't be recommending it for new projects. Imagine how bad that would make you look.

Apparently he doesn't know what the humidity is like in Texas either.

I'm sorry friend, those aren't the current set of incentives.
