    I watched the program at lunch and saw no attribution anywhere. The shots are all stable and sharp, and the camera must have had a big heavy lens judging by the zoom and depth of field, and the smoothness of moving shots. There is no giveaway such as a ČT microphone in an interview but I think I’ve made my case with >90% certainty.













  • The pattern-seeking brain would be driven crazy trying to predict when the next tick is going to happen, as this pattern is not easy to analyze without tools. Experienced musicians could figure out that the shortest time between beats is half the second-shortest, and perhaps figure it out from there.

    Anyway, you could make a website that simulates this or generate a long YouTube video, send a link to unsuspecting people and see what they think. If you want to be extra sneaky, use rain sound as background and “close-up” recordings of single drops for the beats. If you can’t code, make sound files of all the different possible measures in Audacity and use a media player with seamless playback and naïve shuffle.


  • They are purposefully slowing down old.reddit.com. Expect a lot of refugees when its inevitable shutdown happens.

    Anyway, infrastructure mismanagement is typical for late-stage enshittification. Value of the company goes down, and execs who have sold their shares high are quietly stealing equipment from the datacenter to get some value out of it. (Not literally, they just fire any techs who suggest overdue upgrades and give themselves a bonus for making such a difficult decision.)
