but they do that for sport

#

so they're all decked out

silver fable
#

I rode my bike to work in Hawaii for a while, because it was faster than the bus. Definitely wasn't going super fast, but neither was the bus.

tall vapor
#

I mean.... people just casually biking are all decked out as well.... with shopping bags and such.

wanton coral
#

to be fair london is much bigger than Amsterdam, probably don't need to cycle as fast there to cover ground

tall vapor
wanton coral
#

do you have bus lanes there? Great for cycling in here most of the time

#

No cars so can go as fast as traffic without getting mowed down

tall vapor
#

just saying.

wanton coral
#

I don't get that sweaty tbh

tall vapor
#

there won't be a path ya got all to your own where ya can be silly.

wanton coral
#

Hmm so cycling faster is considered bad ettiqute there?

tall vapor
wanton coral
#

I'm not sure how it could possibly endanger people from my perspective

#

Probably different there with more cyclists

#

Not gonna harm anyone doing it here

tall vapor
#

you can endanger people when there are other people around, yes.

wanton coral
#

The only logical reason I can see is, there are more people cycling, they cycle slower, someone could get hit

#

In which case I'll simply cycle slower or just get an uber or use public transportation

tall vapor
#

bike would be faster in most cases, though.

#

just

#

normally riding a bike

#

like a respectful citizen of this earth

wanton coral
#

That's a logical fallacy

terse helm
wanton coral
#

so basic common sense

terse helm
#

ye

#

I'm just saying that inside the city you probably won't have the opportunity to go that fast without doing that

wanton coral
tall vapor
#

which means that you aren't going to go 35km/h while there are dozens of other people right ahead of ya. Indicating directions when necessary, not using your phone while riding etc.

#

wow ok.

wanton coral
#

So all of the things I do already

wanton coral
# tall vapor wow ok.

Before it feels like you just used a combination of appeal to purity, appeal to the people fallacious arguments. Normal is something you're defining based on your personal beliefs or what the majority of people do and you're saying to do something "normally" to someone who has no cultural context or perspective on what's normal in a completely different part of the world.

#

Now from what I gather the reason is that, there are so many bikes it will likely not be possible to reach such speeds without endangering others. Feels like you're taking what I say in really bad faith to assume I'd just be blasting past people without any due care or consideration all the time and causing them harm when I'm specifically asking ahead to time to ensure I don't do that.

tall vapor
#

one last tip, I suppose: don't ride on the wrong side of the road

#

and with that

#

good night

terse helm
#

definitely don't do that

wanton coral
#

Damn I thought every country drove on the left

terse helm
#

that's how I ended up under a car once as a child

#

no we drive on the right side of the road

wanton coral
#

it was sarcasm

terse helm
#

as opposed to you brits driving on the wrong side of the road

#

badum tiss

tall vapor
#

blue is left, red is right

terse helm
#

yeah I used to live in two blue countries

wanton coral
tall vapor
#

so uh yeah. left side driving is really just a british thing.... and JP, for some reason

terse helm
#

true yeah both of those places I lived in had british history

wanton coral
#

It's usually because colonialism

tall vapor
#

That's why I said british thing

terse helm
#

where do they drive in antarctica, the middle?

tall vapor
#

depends on the vehicle

#

lel

wanton coral
#

I wonder if there are any colonies that have left hand traffic and weren't British colonies

tall vapor
#

stares at the map

Nope

wanton coral
#

Didn't netherlands used to be lht

tall vapor
#

yes

#

true

wanton coral
tall vapor
#

see Indonesia

wanton coral
#

It was Napoleon? 😄

tall vapor
#

yes

terse helm
#

1795 lol

wanton coral
#

In Austria from 1805 to 1939 half the country drove on the left whilst the other half, the area that had been invaded by Napoleon, drove on the right!

tall vapor
#

Yup, was quite funny here

wanton coral
#

Imagine getting halfway then you gotta switch 😆

#

Switched in 2009 to LHT lol

tall vapor
#

saves on international shipping charges

wanton coral
#

I wonder how many new cars they were buying to switch though, the island isn't that big

tall vapor
#

yeah so ya might as well

#

updating the signs ya got is worth it by the time ya imported the 5th new car or somethin

#

maybe 10th

#

you get the point

wanton coral
#

Yeah they don't even had that many roads by the looks of it

#

They have less people living there than the borough I live in

tall vapor
#

which means that ya got too many drivers, I see

wanton coral
#

oh wow that's from 2011

tall vapor
#

within london

oof

wanton coral
#

3.15m journeys on london underground and that's not counting other trains and busses

#

I'm working towards getting a car eventually because public transport can suck at times

#

Hot af, cramped, loud af. The tube is fast but it's often above the temperature the EU permits for transporting cattle and there are sections loud enough to cause permanant hearing damage

#

I always thought who would want to have the stress of driving and getting stuck in traffic but now I get it

#

Sitting in a nice air conditioned car with heated / cooled seats and blasting some tunes or on the tube/bus that's so packed you can't even move standing while its 30C, reeks of peoples bo and there's people playing their shitty music / videos on speaker with the volume cranked all the way up

#

It's not always like that but when it is it sucks

full fern
#

I don't blame you one bit. That stuff used to be so awful. I rode busses in my city everywhere for at least ten years. Preferred to walk when I could just to get away from the people. (Why can't they use headphones, goodness gracious!) And being younger I was bothered by creepy people enough for a lifetime. Ugh.

but my heart breaks watching someone generalize all steak as chewing gum

sick cedar
#

but I think we can all sympathize with that tho. We've all had a really crap steak. Really chewy, like it takes ages to get thru

#

its horrible

#

you dont wanna go back to that. First impressions are powerful

livid plover
#

like half of the supermarket steaks my dad buy sometimes are just awful messes

#

either stringy as hell or straigh tup impossible to chew

civic quarry
#

yeah its relatable

sick cedar
#

I sometimes buy cheap cuts, but you need to know how to handle them properly 😛

#

that stuff needs to be marinated

#

or just slow cooked a long time 🤤

#

but yeah, when you get a really good one (assuming you're willing to give it a second try, and trust that whomever is doing it, knows their stuff), then its like one of the yummiest things I've ever had hehe

youtube is dumb

#

i still have to use jdownloader to download yt vids

#

because the download button dosnt download the video when you have youtube premium

#

it just downloads it into some wacky format that is just for youtube viewing

so it downloads it for local viewing, but not in the way you'd prefer, cuz they're rather not give out mp4's all too easy i guess 😛

I'm a moderator of a large online community. Are there any managers or moderators of online communities here? I'm looking for a community of other online moderators to share experiences and discuss best practices. any suggestions? (please DM me)

wary holly
#

@winged perch Could you be more specific?

winged perch
#

discussions such as... what content to allow/disallow... what moderations actions are typically taken... etc.

winged perch
wary holly
#

@winged perch I technically do. I don't have much insight on this matter, however; most issues are as clear-cut as can be (ads, TOS content, scams), and personal disagreements don't have a single "correct" resolution, you'll always upset some or all involved parties.

winged perch
#

One thing I'd really like some feedback on is I have a list of about 20 comments and I'm curious how other moderators might handle.

wary holly
#

I could try that.

winged perch
#

it's primarily about hate speech

winged perch
wary holly
#

I hope it's not some kind of word ban list, those are less than useless unless you're dealing with actual 6 year olds.

#

Go ahead.

wary holly
#

I don't, no.

opaque halo
#

If it's a discord server then the "owner" of the server can dictate what is and what is not allowed.

#

This of course also needs to follow the discord overarching guidelines for use.

terse helm
#

hate speech? ban.

#

it's not that difficult

winged perch
terse helm
#

no, but here's the thing

#

if you let people say shit like that

#

others are going to feel they can do it too

#

and this tends to accelerate over time as people feel they can go a little further and further

#

so you have to crack down on that shit

winged perch
#

what's difficult is what may be considered hate speech

opaque halo
#

and if you aren't sure - ask the owner of the discord. If you are the owner and feel it's questionable then take appropriate actions.

amber sparrow
#

What if they hate speech is directed at, say, Brussel sprouts?

terse helm
#

you're not the government, you can decide for yourself what is and isn't ok speech in your discord

amber sparrow
#

Because I hate Brussel sprouts

winged perch
terse helm
#

everyone hates brussel sprouts

#

that's the only exception

opaque halo
#

If I decided I don't want anyone to mention the color magenta on my discord I'm fully within my rights to remove the post or even ban them.

winged perch
terse helm
#

yeah get rid of them

#

you could do a three strikes thing where you delete, timeout and ban

opaque halo
#

again - if you are the owner - take whatever actions you deem necessary. If you are not the owner and have doubt, questions then communicate with the owner. Simple

winged perch
opaque halo
#

Then maybe you should leave that discord.

winged perch
#

or perhaps I'm overreacting to something I consider is hatespeech

opaque halo
#

again - if things are occurring you don't agree with. Leave.

#

You don't have to explain things like this to anyone. Granted a simple "It's a personal decision" works too

For my bird loving homies: Went to Poulsbo WA today and saw a double breasted cormorant (I think) drying it's wings. Got pretty close, it must be used to people. Took awhile to ID it bc it doesn't have the colorful head plumage they are usually pictured with. It's either female, or just that they don't get colorful until mating season.

I bet this turns into "also you can send av1 if you encode it locally for us". I predicted this years ago. klurk5

We plan to use automatic stream configuration to experiment with higher bitrates (better quality), 1440p60/4k60p streaming, and new codecs like HEVC/AV1 in the future. Oh hey look at that! khappy5 -- We’re working on experimenting with AV1 support to be powered by multiple client-side encodes.

If you were messaged by a user who you suspect may be malicious, scamming, a bot, etc, we recommend reporting these users to the Discord Trust and Safety team so that they can be addressed appropriately. We strongly encourage users to be mindful of DMs they receive from users who are in any public Discord server.

Please report any suspicious private messages to Discord, either by using the Report Spam button in a DM, or by reporting it directly to Discord Trust and Safety

and by someone not falling for the first part, you auto filter yourself as someone that's not naive enough

@rough kayak We are a public discord server, we can't validate reports in DMs, and while I have no reason to suspect it's a false report on your end, it is a common thing where a user will make false reports and claim someone is a bot/spamming in DMs, so we have elected to enforce what we can.

even more interesting that my Gboard sticker was moderated before the bot Kappa

But either way, reporting to Discord is the best place. They can take action at a platform level, and verify.

Ray Reconstruction is nice.. everything looks so much sharper and more accurate. I've had experience with it in Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2

Good old Homestar

terse helm
#

this is a bug somewhere

#

it doesn't always capture the correct window in obs

#

disabling the preview (right-click) fixes it

wraith haven
#

for me it's a bit random, sometimes just restarting OBS and reopening the projector fixes it

#

Discord is no proper sub-window handling so it probably just grabs the first window it finds

terse helm
#

it normally grabs the right one but if something happens to it it tends to revert to the main window and never recovers, until that disappears too

#

this btw is with their advanced or experimental capture thing btw

#

this one

#

I find that option generally works best, with the caveat that sometimes it grabs the wrong texture

#

but it works even if the window is minimised

oh, gonna try that

having to keep the window open is a bit annoying

like it would follow the activity

i have seen someone stream on twitch and when he would click on other aaplications, the stream would follow the activity and he said its some setting he set up

rough kayak
#

so i have a specific question, about TOS on Twitch

if you play copyrighted films on stream, its pretty much hella against the rules; however, if im hosting a watch party of copyrighted material on Discord, but putting in the title of my stream, "Hosting Watch Party of ___ in my Discord server, join to watch" or similar in my Twitch stream title, is that breaking TOS on Twitch?

#

i know people watch copyrighted films on Discord all the time and get away with it no problem but ive never seen them "advertise" it in their stream title

#

i wanted to watch The Terminator and Terminator II in my Discord server with my viewers while i build Legos on camera lol

#

yeah i figured, but im curious if ill get in trouble for basically "soliciting" these watch parties in my stream titles

i have a feeling Twitch has no jurisdiction over what happens in Discord but im of course unsure

#

Its both illegal on Discord and Twitch, If you can make your stream fit under fair use you should be fine

the main advantage of such a system is that it's completely independend

#

for example a independent drone

#

can navigate by itself without GPS

#

just give it a precise present position and then it can navigate by itself

#

yeah that one uses both MEMS and a fiber optic gyro

#

way cool stuff

fervent star
#

decades ago they did it with laser interferometers

#

was my military time 😉

#

now my profession is MRI and CT

left heart
#

you've shifted frequencies lol

fervent star
#

oh yes, from very high to low

#

MRI is almost DC 😄

#

lamour frequency of 1H nuclid is only 63.6MHz on a 1.5Tesla MRI

#

highest frequency currently is 500MHz on a 11.7Tesla system

left heart
#

oh cool, the first one is at least within my scope's bandwidth!

#

highly doubt I have the sensitivity for something like that though :P

fervent star
#

but the trend goes to smaller magnets

#

at 0.55Tesla it's only 23.6 MHz

left heart
#

I assume the higher frequencies are easier to detect?

fervent star
#

no the local resolution is much better due to smaller wavelength

left heart
#

I have to dig very deep in the memory to remember anything about NMR

#

ahhh okay yeah that makes sense

fervent star
#

but if you reduce wavelength you have to get a bigger magnet

#

for clinical use only 7 Tesla is allowed

#

and that means 300MHz for 1H

#

most common are the 1.5 Tesla and the 3 Tesla systems

#

but i also work with x-ray CT

#

that's awesome

using AI and AI-adjacent methods for heightened precision imaging is pretty nice and, when done ell works pretty well, but tbh, after the absolute debacle that was last year, proposing anything that touches AI to the scientific community is a bit of a footgun, sadly

#

(at least in geosciences)

left heart
#

idk how much that's changed if at all in astro stuff, machine classification was a pretty big deal there

fervent star
#

well letting the AI code something and then just review the code makes the world quite easier if you understand what the AI did

karmic tiger
#

yeah, that's kind of the main issue of AI-adjacent stuff in scietific research, the "black box" aspect of it makes it very hard to propagate any kind of uncertainty, and as such makes its use rather limited

fervent star
#

you can't use an AI if you can't code

#

you need to understand what it's doing

#

in my case i need to document the code and validate it ... must be audit safe

#

FDA is a hard institution

#

but AI can help to make processes faster

karmic tiger
#

even if you perfectly understand your code, if you can't propagate uncertainties through it, it's pretty much useless for most research purposes

fervent star
#

yes, you're right

uneven spear
#

What is uncertnrnancncy propogation? o.=.o?

fervent star
#

you need good test cases to verify everythings working properly

#

the answer is "quality" !!! 😄

karmic tiger
# uneven spear What is uncertnrnancncy propogation? o.=.o?

basically, you have a certain amount of data, that you have go through a model (pretty much, a complex mathematical equation with all of the data as variable) in order to calculate a certain amount of numerical results. (I shit you not, fundamentally this is a definition of every scientific process)

The question is : if you know roughly how inaccurate each of the data is (its uncertainty) can you calculate how inaccurate the results are (propagate them).

#

(to be fully outfront, this explanation is only valid in principle for frequentist conceptions, not bayesian ones, but it's roughly the same thing for bayesian, only the epistemological meaning of what you're calculating is the main difference in this specific case)

Anyone here have an OBS sponsorship or know who to contact about a potential sponsorship?

tall vapor

obs sponsorship is when you sponsor obs, not the other way around

wraith haven

OBS does not provide sponsorships, its not a company (in its classical sense)

Ah, thank you

karmic tiger

yeah, it's only a company in the romantic sense

i don't say anything now, i'm married 😄

not that romantic XD

left heart
# uneven spear I'm unsure if I follow, but seeing you nerd out over this like I nerd out in e-t...

if I take a physical measurement of something, it's always going to have some amount of uncertainty. if I then use that in a model, that uncertainty changes based on how you're doing the math. it's surprisingly easy to run into really weird situations if you don't pay attention to that, like errors magnifying through methods of calculation. one that I remember from numcomp is solving PDEs using the forward difference method

uneven spear

Oh, like encoding! khappy5

funnily, we covered that in the same class lol

#

yeah you can get some really funny numerical instabilities if you don't sync your temporal and spatial step size

uneven spear
#

Would you say that this is related to data quaaaaallllllliiiiiity? klurk5

karmic tiger
#

lmao

#

ina sense yes

#

but only in the frequentist sense

#

for bayesian stuff, the uncertainty is actually considered an integral part of the data

fervent star
#

that's exactly what i face every day.... this sprint for example i validate the production test of a newly developed RF amplifier.... we made 20 samples before and i have to decide what's good (exeptable) and what's bad (just not working in system).... so i take every measurement value and see a nice gauss curve.... then i define limits

uneven spear

pen help how do I increase my lab's quality resolution rate i my obs isn't working its blackscreen whenever I try to frequent the bayesians. klurk5

kk thx

fervent star

but you never see that in simulation

karmic tiger
#

I mean at some point, you're lucky you have an actual gauss and not some ungodly abomination that you still have to fit a gauss to because that's the only model that works

uneven spear
#

You have to fit the gauss like a bauss? klurk5

karmic tiger
#

(or because you're a geochemist and you don't understand the concept of "no you can't fit a gauss on two data points")

karmic tiger
fervent star
#

sometimes you even get 5 or 6 gauss curves when you have a look at continues measurements
