well that was a waste of frickin time. i spent this evening making a lovely vertical video and it can't be a youtube short cos it's over 3 minutes. same limit on instagram/facebook reels.

i put it up unlisted for the curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91MXv2MthMk

i mean it misunderstands the assignment, but hopefully it amuses

at least I can avoid for a bit longer having to contemplate lines like

ffmpeg -i out-sq1.mp4 -lavfi "[0:v]scale=1920/1080*iw:1920/1080*ih,boxblur=luma_radius=min(h\,w)/40:luma_power=3:chroma_radius=min(cw\,ch)/40:chroma_power=1[bg];[bg][0:v]overlay=(W-w)/2:(H-h)/2,setsar=1,crop=w=iw*1080/1920" -crf 10 -x264-params keyint=10:scenecut=0 out-vert1.mp4

tiktok's limit is 10 minutes but the edit has to be completely different (no title cards or branding) and not clear i can say the website url in the video. also UK monetisation kicks in at 10k followers and 100k views in the past 30 days. i am unconvinced as yet.

the other two answers are correct, but also they totally do. In particular, the blockchain analysis companies alert companies using their services to the transaction touching tainted coins. This is variably effective, of course.

But also, there are plenty of non-US/EU exchanges that don't give a hoot and once tainted coins hit an exchange they're washed because these exchanges are very good at having pretend KYC/AML.

Leo certainly didn't gatekeep his app's security, hem hem

coding with vibes

ChatGPT as the Sybian of coding

because they sell that! e.g. Kagi resells Google's actual-search-results API

I'm an "is it art?" maximalist. But I think it's the wrong question about generative AI. The right question is the corporate incentives.

especiall when it goes into mangled, uncanny-valley territory

GPT-2 was the peak of LLMs, because it was interestingly broken shit

I did today's video at 1080p and ehh, I might as well keep doing that.

Main annoyance is that YouTube takes extra time to render a 720p version as well before it will take your video live.

I get very ranty

an old phone without a SIM and with wifi switched off

so sound is actually almost more important than the visuals, and actually more important a lot of the time. There's a reason sound is a whole job in AV ...

The USB mics are fine these days, yeah

i mean. Sometimes you just spend the fuckin' money and it solves so many problems. YMMV.

I'd do the video at 360p if I thought I could get away with it.
