Search for the MinaLima edition of the Wizard of Oz, it's absolutely stunning.


Great work, thanks!


Both are featured in the video and both have credits visible through the microscope.


Watch the video if you believe it's worth being clear. The credits are perfectly visible on both the LaserDisc AND the CED. Approx 22:00-24:00 is the laser disc and 25:00 onwards is the CED. Enjoy.


And to support your point even further, in the video he captures the credits off a disc with constant angular velocity, but he _also_ completely lucks out and captures an image from a disc with constant linear velocity.

I'm so sick of this negative attitude. I get it when it comes to politics or more complex systems or conceptual ideas. But holy hell, we're talking about a "money shot" to get people interested in the subject.


Wow. Downvoted for factual clarification and helpful citation. No idea what drives such people, but must logically assume deception and obfuscation.


Ugh, I'm pretty sure it's Big CED deceptively here to muddy the waters and obfuscate superior LaserDisc Technology. Perhaps flag the post so the moderators can see it and make sure we root Big CED out of these forums and out of our lives for good.


I'm making placards now. Meet you on the corner of Pioneer and 78th st.


I’m in.


Not simply repeating patterns, readable text from the credits as shown in the video.


Here's where the text comes into focus, pretty cool:

It says its tailored for beginners, but I don't know what kind of beginner can parse multiple paragraphs like this:

"How wrong was the prediction? We need a single number that captures "the model thought the correct answer was unlikely." If the model assigns probability 0.9 to the correct next token, the loss is low (0.1). If it assigns probability 0.01, the loss is high (4.6). The formula is − log ⁡ ( � ) −log(p) where � p is the probability the model assigned to the correct token. This is called cross-entropy loss."


I see. The problem with me writing these is even though I'm not an expert, I do have a bit of knowledge on certain things so I'm prone to say things that make sense to me but not to beginners. I'll rethink it


One of the downsides of using an expert LLM to write for you is that they know all that perfectly well, even if you don't, and aren't too bothered by such a chunk. It's like reading any Wikipedia article on mathematics... This is the kind of thing that people are documenting in the LLM-user literature in creating an illusion of expertise (or 'illusion of transparency'). Because the LLM explains it so fluently, you feel like you understand, even though you don't. Hence new phrases like 'cognitive debt' to try to deal with it.

(This is also why people like cramming or lectures rather than quizzing or spaced repetition, because they produce a certain 'illusion of depth' https://gwern.net/doc/psychology/cognitive-bias/illusion-of-... ).


You claim to cite 'technologies' but include a few brands and companies for some reason.

The one you keep citing, here and in the article, Quibi, lives on in technology-form (the spirit of your article we must presume) as an 8 billion dollar business in China and is rapidly upending every Hollywood film studio.

So, arguments about substantiation or even 'this time' fall flat in the face of not even understanding your own message.


Glad to see this here, Balearic slinging has a rich and impactful history. But sadly this is not much appreciated today on the islands.

The Federation hosts open days where only a handful of people show up. Top slingers from the islands are treated with great acclaim when they travel to international competitions but at home few know who they are. The Balearic Government and local councils show little interest in supporting or promoting this activity.

I can't help feel it could and should be much more popular, with an injection of support and enthusiasm, especially as the islands try to rediscover a post-tourism identity.

But I don't see any evidence of this yet. I continue to do my little part in telling everyone I know how fascinating this sport is.

And yes, how incredibly difficult! I had probably 50 attempts before I hit a large target just 7 or 8 metres away.


I'll try to make one of the events if I'm in the islands, I saw they do a yearly competition in Ibiza around October, my parents live there now so it's convenient.

As with anything non-tourism related, it's can be a bit hard to find these events when the only advertising might in the town hall website (if that!) and sometimes instagram


I think you mean complaining about metrication 50 years later :-)

The counterpoint is that without the metric system how could we make snarky comments on US-based woodworking videos?


I was specifically thinking of the "Metric Martyrs" who were jailed over refusing to display weights and measures in metric.

The law requiring metric didn't actually come into force until 2000, these cases were early 2000s. Note that the law to this day still allows for imperial measurements to also be displayed, but they wanted to display in solely imperial.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_Martyrs

The situation another 20 years later is rosier, even the boomers have spent most their adulthood with metric, and they're dying off now.
