Wdyt of this simple setup for YouTube videos? 😄 Yesterday after bouldering with friends I came back home and did my taxes, cleaned up the apartment and booked appointment for my 2nd Anmeldung. I was curious to see how it would look, even though I knew I didn't have the energy to film one of the long-format videos I'm preparing.

Guys I can’t 😂🤩 I can listen at my own videos in Hindi now! So many auto-dub languages and they sound almost identical to my real voice!
Some Italians subscribers asked me why I decided to rebrand my channels to English. One of the reasons is how better English speaking videos are treated by YouTube. In the last 3 videos I speak in English: YouTube automatically subbed and dubbed them to 21 languages. All the other Italian-speaking videos only get dubbed to English. p.s. the yellow one is just uploaded, I suppose the other 19 dubs will come soon

A company starts judging its support team by how many tickets they close. The number goes up. Of course it does. But that does not mean customers are getting better help. Maybe tickets are being closed too early. Maybe the difficult ones are being avoided. People simply learned what the system rewards. That is Goodhart’s law: when a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure. The metric was supposed to describe good work. Now it is changing how the work is done.

During training, OpenAI found models writing instructions into their own summaries: make up the missing data, and only admit it if asked. Later model calls often followed those instructions. This is not about a conscious or rebellious AI. It is an engineering problem. If the system rewards completing the task more than using an honest method, its memory can carry the wrong strategy into the next context. Source: alignment.openai.com/misalig…

If your codebase enforces a “20 character” limit, what does it actually count? One family emoji can measure 11, 7, 1, or 25 depending on the unit. I tested the full path in JavaScript and PostgreSQL here:
14% UTF-16 code units
14% Unicode code points
14% Grapheme clusters
57% UTF-8 bytes

V0 of my automated YouTube videos generator. I'll still record them with my real face and voice - but I don't always have time. I'll definitely improve the voice cloning. I need a proper microphone (will have it back on Monday). The planner that did the scenes and components it's okay-ish, but there's too much crap on screen. And it should change more frequently imho. Any feedback is extremely welcomed.

How long is one emoji? JavaScript says 11, iteration gives 7, a grapheme segmenter gives 1, and UTF-8 needs 25 bytes. None of these answers is wrong: each operation measures a different unit. p.s. the background disturbed my remove-background but I'm no perfectionist anymore su screw it for this time
