A similar thing happened 10 years earlier with "what the bleep do we know", a neo-spiritualism film which tried to connect spirituality with quantum wooquote:David Albert, a professor at the Columbia University physics department, has accused the filmmakers of warping his ideas to fit a spiritual agenda. "I don't think it's quite right to say I was 'tricked' into appearing," he said in a statement reposted by a critic on "What the Bleep's" Internet forum, "but it is certainly the case that I was edited in such a way as to completely suppress my actual views about the matters the movie discusses. I am, indeed, profoundly unsympathetic to attempts at linking quantum mechanics with consciousness. Moreover, I explained all that, at great length, on camera, to the producers of the film ... Had I known that I would have been so radically misrepresented in the movie, I would certainly not have agreed to be filmed."

echinopsis posted:tbh I don’t remember if I stopped believing in creation as much as just started challenging my own faith check out the Religion for Breakfast channel some day, it focus mostly on archeological and anthropological aspects of religions. it's made by this guy who is a phd in early christianism iirc, so it's full of interesting stuff that changed my view of what early christians were probably like. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHsXddZFR9ANivJTYru79qCdNp-Wv-k4b he never goes into theological questions but you can kinda infer some things from the way he keep analysing the gospels as literary pieces of fiction with their weird spinoffs (the gnostic gospels)

there's also Sunday School Dropouts - a podcast where two people go through the bible one book at a time and have a light-hearted talk about the content and the historical context.

Lost a bunch of productivity this morning to mild disassociation resulting from this lady's Youtube Shorts about 3d actors influencing a 2d universe and its implications for 4d on 3d space. https://www.youtube.com/@tibees

I've no clue how you'd go about making a hypothesis for it or even testing it, but it's interesting! Could make for a fascinating science fiction book, too.

A four dimensional being can also add or remove objects from a closed three-dimensional space without passing through its walls. So the next time something in your house goes missing, look around for signs of four-dimensional interference, like books that have had all their text mirrored

i’ve always hated those analogies that draw on flatlanders because we we can conceptualise a 2d world as if it was a video game but it still makes no sense as a conceptual but possible universe, and so using it to relate 2d to 3d is kinda bullshit imo, just coz math can describe something doesn’t make it so. I wanna watch those video tho

somebody recommended a video about the fashion in muppet christmas carol and oh god it is terminal youtube bullshit. i am so disappointed what would have been good: "here is rizzo's first costume. this is why it's cool, these are the details that you should pay attention to" bad: (shouting) "LOOK AT IT! LOOK AT THE SMOCKING! [costume designer] YOU ARE A QUEEN! Look at the the little cute mousey!" this is not me uncharitably paraphrasing. this is what she's actually doing. anyway im gonna try to watch some more but if you have a low tolerance for the, uh, youtube house style like i do my current recommendation is to delete it from your 'watch later' queue e: finished it; it got better than it started but i still give it like a c+/b-. 30 minute video for, idk, 12? minutes of content. some people like or dont mind the super high energy youtube thing though so dont take my dislike too seriously Achmed Jones fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Apr 26, 2023 |

i absolutely love all the ingenious little explanatory models they used to make for old educational films. that colored rope on a drum thing is fantastic and communicates the idea of rasterization and serial transmission perfectly. today it would just be a dull CG rendering.

i worked on a hot stamp line for a bit. it heats steel up to 900c. it was like 99% automated but sometimes we would have to go in and take the steel off the line and it was unbearably hot. and these guys here are just pulling slag out of molten iron right next to the furnace.

Youtube channels that are 100% completely playing to the algorithm are extremely cursed and more than a little creepy. I know its well-trodden ground at this point, but those kids channels that are just thousands and thousands of hours of incomprehensible animation designed to keep toddler eyeballs on ipads are deeply disturbing

how much of it is actually even meaningful and how much of it is pure cargo cult a la "unalive" on tiktok and similar? i really wonder if the dumb thumbnail thing is just "your videos do better when you make a thumbnail. any thumbnail that doesn't suck is fine." but people misunderstood why it worked

The corporations with the most profit margin of the world are deliberately leaving it unsaid what the exact rules are, because that way they have more leeway in tweaking the algorithm any time the corporations they need to satisfy complain.

mystes posted:A randomly selected frame isn't going to be that useful as the thumbnail for many videos and allowing the uploader to select the frame would basically be equivalent to allowing a custom thumbnail People got around the old system because Youtube always took the same frame for the thumbnail, so they would have one frame of their video that was the thumbnail they wanted and basically brute forced their way into the current system

It's low-key amusing that a video with a guy talking about saturation has audio that's all over the place. Some segments are clearly recorded in post and set over B-roll, and it's pretty jarring. Also, saturation is big part of the loudness war that's been destroying music for decades.

I found the bit about odd and even kinda interesting it makes me want a real oscilloscope. like, I only want it for the fun of looking at waves. I had an idea of trying to make one with arduino or whatever, but instead of doing any kind of analysis on the signal to determine frequency to display the wave, just also take a midi input and use the lowest note as the repeating frequency. genius it was all part of my fantasy regarding doing some kind of live performance, have a visible wave display for shits and gigs
