https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReplayGain - works fairly well for audio. I imagine some sort of mean average would be good enough for balancing a movie's loudness to the adverts.

I remember Reddit used to have the ability to show both upvote and downvotes. I miss that feature.
Can you elaborate? Just curious what you are referring to.
The modern take of a disturbed idiom is "There is more than one way to microwave a cat!" (disclaimer please don't actually do this).
At or near the bottom of complexity you would think it hard to fuck up "compress this directory and verify they are backed up before deleting the originals" but apparently some of these models have a RNG triggered Uno reverse card so "delete the originals, verify they are backed up, and compress this directory". Also that wasn't a mistake, maybe Claude will infer "they" is a specific set of files, but another model might decide you meant all the dot files at ~/?
Joking aside, the devil is in the details which makes me think even more time will be sunk finding out the RC Cola bottom shelf AI model does things just a bit too differently than Claude.
cue the scene from Airplane 2 where the Steward explains they have been knocked of course by just a "tad"
it's weird who gets reported for this stuff.
There was a game that released not too long ago that was spamming the same message to it's log file in 500 millisecond intervals doing a constant stream of write and flush to disk the entire time the game ran.

Wow, that's some brilliant vendor lock in on Anthropic's side.
Doesn't the mob and other syndicates do something like that as well? Gotta do some time and not snitch to move up in the ranks.
Oh wow, reading the wiki you linked, looks like that one exec really learned their lesson \s
On 5 April 2006, Sun Woo Lee, Senior Manager of DRAM at Samsung Electronics, entered into a plea bargain with the US Government for his involvement in the price fixing conspiracy.[5] Following the plea agreement he was sentenced to 8 months in prison and fined US$250,000.[6] Lee was subsequently promoted to President of Samsung Germany in 2009, and then President of Samsung Europe in 2014
edit/update: Oh, wow so Sun Woo Lee actually really lucked out as Korea focused more on making an example of the Samsung heir apparent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Jae-yong
8 months in prison sucks, I totally concede that. Yet literally the deal they made looks like they were asked "Would you take the fall and go to prison for 8 months and then get paid millions per year afterward?"
Unfortunately a lot of channels have resorted to that because of the changes to algorithm and focus on shorts versus longer format. Youtube's short video audience is huge, the shorts are cheaper due to size, and I guess they don't pay the short video creators comparatively the same?
At this point if I see "It's over!", "I am done" or "Some other dramatic but not relevant text" I often just unsub.
Watching Veritasium's staff swapping titles and thumbnails for the same video trying to find an audience is a bit sad as that company has put a lot of effort into making great videos.
B1M knows their target audience very well and I haven't seen many if not any clickbait titles for their stuff.
One bummer is that I unsubbed from a channel (not naming him, dude's just trying to get by) I had been following for years because they had a very poorly disguised infomercial about a giant UPS for appliances. This was the third time they have done something like this so I called it.
Sleep works great until you are the unfortunate winner of the computer randomly deciding to wake up and your GPU power cable deciding 4am is the best time to shit itself.
Also fun boring dystopia problem, my "smart" TV for some reason kept triggering one of my workstations to come back online through wake on LAN. Moved the TV over to its own vlan and of course that problem is partially solved.
Indeed this is an overly solved problem. Personally I prefer ReplayGain for music and some video-audio productions while compression is great for making voices clearer. Thinking about adverts, compression would likely be the winner for making it less jarring decibel wise.
