Part of a series from Linear: Conversations on Quality

Interesting, do you think it would also be useful for Bestmen? I love the tone functionality.

Also, wonder if there is a cheaper "toast" option? < 1min. I'd pay 5 dollars to help refine a toast I've done in the pas.

I actually have an identical one for best man speeches https://www.howtobebestman.com

The toast refining is a great idea, i'll do it next

Awesome!

You should check out Andy's History of Databases (CMU Databases / Spring 2020) on youtube. He does the entire first class from the streets of Amsterdam because he can't get in his hotel... he's an interesting character and he's insanely good at explaining the ins and out

The content that his group puts out on YouTube is great. Been a little while since I caught up, but I was extremely impressed.

Beyond rude people making rude comments, I imagine the channel gets lots of bot spam, especially crypto scams, given the content’s proximity to the space.

Youtube comments devolve into garbage rapidly. Not worth the headache.

Probably the right choice. Go open the YT comments for just about any video and count how many high-quality discussions are being had. I'm usually surprised to see even one well-thought out question or comment.

Fair enough, I figured his high quality content would lead to good conversations, but I guess no one is immune to comment garbage!

Bot spam on youtube is insane: I have a number of tiny view count videos (electronic test equipment teardown/repair -- no production value in the video, it's mostly intended as a reference for the next person doing a similar repair) and I regularly have to remove comments from the pornographic avatar bots. It's enough to be annoying and I am considering turning off comments even though I don't even have many videos, many views on those videos, or proximity to a money fountain.

I image it helps keep discussion more civil and improves their quality by introducing a barrier.

good call, was going to drop a thanks at the very least!

Honestly, I couldn't click this link quick enough and it delivered. Looking forward to the "oversized values" follow-up!

Oh wow this threw me back to film school. There is a great book by Ester Leslie called Hollywood Flatlands: Animation, Critical Theory and the Avant-Garde that walks through the overlap in animation and the avant-garde movement. It's very in-depth read if you liked this article

I went through the paper and thought immediately about how did they implement it; I missed they published their code as well. Here is the link for everyone who skimmed past it: https://github.com/mcleish7/arithmetic/tree/main

my bad, should have posted it with the link itself

Good to start with the concept, I just had so many implementation questions. Working through the code know... which is way harder to digest.

I was at the Tampa concert last year, and I was so distracted by trying to figure out how they controlled the wristbands. They were randomly handed out at the door, and I had no idea what seat I was in. I went through the scenario to flash sectors to see where they were located and build a grid, but when I got home, I was floored at the IR solution. It was so simple.

Really cool, but I want the visual history of the internal meme generator!

Sigh... all my McMillen disappeared on Jan 10th.

Hahahah that would be fun to work on next!

I've never heard of the film, but the trailer looks great. Thanks for sharing!
