And that’s exactly why we added 1000 watts of solar to any vehicles’ roof rack here at DartSolar. We created and aftermarket roof rack so any car can add solar. More details at https://dartsolar.com

Hi HN:

Do you play any quick non-intellectually intense (i.e.: not 2048) games online with some multiplayer features? I sometimes find myself tired from programming or working and need a quick game to break the routine.

I want to avoid reading the news or jumping on a social media app. Does anyone have recommendations?

I love this! Just signed up for your early access. All the material you write is spot on. We've had experiences with cold email and it works wonders, it is great to see someone tackling this head on.

The real problem is that Google Ads and Facebook Ads are 80% bots that just click and leave. If you track the behavior of ad clicks it looks super bot-like. Email and other mechanisms to read your human audience are massively necessary.

Now I don’t mind marrying someone who might be a bit messy because by the time we have kids we will have humanoids to clean the house

Ask HN: Using AI to identify natural flow of a video interview

somid3 — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 00:20:10 +0000

Hello HN,

I am a somewhat of a noob when it comes to video editing — but I am masterful at software development, and would like find (or create) a technology that allows one to figure out during a video interview which scenes were edited to placed later in a video.

For example, during an interview — like the one that vice president Harris had with CBS recently — it should be possible to use the gloss degradation on the lips, or anything that is directional with time to trace back and identify how much time passed between scenes. Below are examples of things that are directional with time:

1. Lip gloss wearing out 2. Anything dependent on gravity 3. Individual hair strands becoming more chaotic 4. If shot in a place with a bit of natural light, the slight contrast shifts minute by minute 5. The level of water on a cup 6. The strain on the eye 7. Folds in the clothes that add up over time

I am curious if therea are any tools (or if any tools can be built) to help with this issue, not only for the interview, but at the grander scheme of things — this is a big issue in video editing and video analysis.

Any points or guidance in the right dirction would be appreciated.

Well, in Iran the Islamic Republic feels threatened by Baha'is. Most people that hate Baha'is is because they feel threatened by them. For example, Baha'is have no clergy. So all clergy will naturally feel treated as the Baha'i population grows -- that's just an example

Search for the Baha’i Lotus Temple of India. It’s also beautiful

This is not 100% correct. Baha’is have many groups that hate them and write dismissive articles such as these. Take a look at what Baha’is have done in countries fighting for human rights — and that is every right

I personally like the quotes on love, what love is, and what it claims about the time-space fabric that is this reality

It’s very broad. Baha’i.org is a good start

For those not familiar with Baha’i temples or houses of worship, lmk. I’m a Baha’i in case anyone has questions. Fun fact… do you know who introduced Steve Jobs to Wozniak was a Baha’i? It’s the only tech related thing I could think of when I wrote this. But Baha’is are pretty progressive towards tech.
